Chrześcijańska filozofia człowieka w Polsce wobec wyzwań XX i XXI wieku
According to the author of the article, Christian anthropology is characterized by an affirmative approach to Christianity and personalism in the understanding of man. During the last century in Poland it faced four key challenges for its development which were: 1) searching for a proper model of social life connected with the rejection of individualism and collectivism; 2) the clash with collectivist totalitarianism (communism) which imposes an erroneous concept on man; 3) resignation of the Church in her teaching from the domination of the Thomistic model of understanding the world and man; 4) establishment of a naturalistic and transhumanistic model of man in the culture of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Christian anthropology responded to the first three calls with a specific type of personalism: social – in the first case, metaphysical – in the second, liberalist and ethical – in the third. At present time, it must seek a personalistic response to the fourth challenge, while the author believes that Christian anthropology is threatened by fideistic personalism resulting from the acceptance of the naturalistic image of man coming from detailed sciences and the abandonment of attempts to philosophically justify his personal status.Według autora artykułu antropologia chrześcijańska charakteryzuje się afirmatywnym podejściem do chrześcijaństwa i personalizmu w rozumieniu człowieka. W ciągu ostatniego stulecia w Polsce stanęła ona przed czterema kluczowymi wyzwaniami dla jej rozwoju, którymi były: 1) poszukiwanie właściwego modelu życia społecznego związanego z odrzuceniem indywidualizmu i kolektywizmu; 2) zderzenie z totalitaryzmem kolektywistycznym (komunizmem), który narzucał błędną koncepcję człowieka; 3) rezygnacja Kościoła w jego nauczaniu z dominacji tomistycznego modelu rozumienia świata i człowieka; 4) ustanowienie naturalistycznego i transhumanistycznego modelu człowieka w kulturze przełomu XX i XXI wieku. Antropologia chrześcijańska odpowiedziała na pierwsze trzy wezwania specyficznym typem personalizmu: społecznym – w pierwszym przypadku; metafizycznym – w drugim, liberalistycznym i etycznym – w trzecim. Zdaniem autora artykułu obecnie musi ona szukać personalistycznej odpowiedzi na czwarte wyzwanie. Antropologii chrześcijańskiej zagraża fideistyczny personalizm wynikający z przyjęcia naturalistycznego obrazu człowieka pochodzącego z nauk szczegółowych i rezygnacja z prób filozoficznego uzasadnienia jego osobowego statusu
Mieczysława A. Krąpca koncepcja uniwersytetu
The main goal of this paper is to present the concept of the university proposed by one of the the most important representatives of the Lublin school of philosophy and Rector of the Catholic University of Lublin from 1970–1983, Mieczysław A. Krąpiec. In reference to the medieval tradition of the university, he understands the university as a community of professors and students (universitas magistrorum et scholarium) focused on the social cognition of the truth about man. The contemporary domination of instrumental sciences (technical) aimed at transforming existing reality leads to and threatens the good of the human person. Hence the essential role Krąpiec assigns to noninstrumental recognition of humanities and especially philosophy, in which the main goal is the knowledge of the truth about man, because man wants to know also those areas, “which are not useful but which give value to human life”. The concept of the university as proposed by Krąpiec is a universalist combination of different the types of knowledge and different ways of knowing in order to realize the good of the human person, the foundation of which is truth about himself and about the world.Wolność oznacza niezdeterminowane działanie człowieka, niezależność od czynników zewnętrznych, od skrępowania i przymusu fizycznego, psychicznego, moralnego, prawnego itp. Nieraz człowiek przypisuje sobie wolność absolutną, bezwzględną, która nie zna jakichkolwiek ograniczeń. Niewątpliwie wolność należy do konstytutywnych elementów każdego człowieka, jest niezbywalną jego własnością. Dzięki aktom wyboru kształtuje on swoją niepowtarzalną osobowość. Wolność jest uprawnieniem i zarazem obowiązkiem dokonywania wyborów, co implikuje odpowiedzialność za podjęte działania i wynikające z nich skutki. Nie każde działanie przynosi pożądane rezultaty, zarówno dla samego podmiotu działania, jak i jego otoczenia. Dlatego w kształtowaniu i korzystaniu z wolności niezbędne są kryteria i wyznaczniki. Wolność, a w ślad za nią podmiot wolności, podlega nieustannemu rozwojowi, wymagają więc odpowiedniej pielęgnacji i troski. Spośród wielu czynników kształtujących wolność osoby ludzkiej wybrano prawo i etykę
Deep seismic reflection profiles in SE Poland reveal a Variscan thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt encroaching the East European Craton
20th EGU General Assembly, EGU2018, Proceedings from the conference held 4-13 April, 2018 in Vienna, AustriaRecent years have brought a significant progress in understanding of the external Variscides in Poland. Combined POLCRUST-01 and PolandSPAN deep seismic surveys imaged for the first time a Variscan thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt that encroaches onto a little deformed basement slope of the East European Craton (EEC) much farther eastward than the previously postulated position of the Variscan deformation front. This deformed belt consists of several tectonic units, to a various degree overprinted by Variscan shortening and inversion (Fragment tekstu)
Late Palaeozoic strike-slip tectonics versus oroclinal bending at the SW outskirts of Baltica: case of the Variscan belt’s eastern end in Poland
Geophysical and geological data from the eastern sector of the Central European Variscan belt are presented and reviewed
in the regional tectonic context. Matched filtering of isostatic gravity, guided by results of spectral analysis, along with other
derivatives of gravity and magnetic fields reveal a dominant WNW–ESE-trending pre-Permian structural grain in the external
zones of the Variscan belt in Poland. This trend is confirmed by regional distribution of dips in Carboniferous and Devonian
strata that were penetrated by boreholes beneath Permian-Mesozoic sediments. Based on these data, two alternative concepts
explaining the connection of the Variscan belt and its NE foreland, those of strike-slip tectonics versus oroclinal bending,
are discussed. The WNW–ESE structural trend in the Variscan foreland is parallel to a set of major strike-slip fault zones in
the area, including those of Upper Elbe, Intra-Sudetic, Odra, Dolsk and Kraków-Lubliniec. These faults are considered to
convey a significant dextral displacement between Laurussia and Gondwana. The revised position of the Variscan deformation
front shows a similar, uninterrupted, generally WNW–ESE trend, up to the SE border of Poland, which indicates an
initial continuation of the Variscan belt into the area of the present-day Western Carpathians. The geometry of the Variscan
deformation front along with the pattern of the Variscan structural grain are inconsistent with the idea of an oroclinal loop
affecting the external, non-metamorphic Variscan belt. However, the data presented do not entirely rule out an oroclinal
loop within the Variscan internides. The still possible options are (1) a semi-oroclinal model postulating ~ 90° bending of
the Variscan tectonostratigraphic zones into parallelism with the WNW–ESE strike-slip faults or (2) an orocline limited only
to the belt linking the Wolsztyn High and Moravo-Silesian non- to weakly-metamorphic fold-and-thrust belt. Regardless of
the kinematic model preferred, our data indicate that structural evolution of the Polish Variscides was concluded with the
end-Carboniferous NNE–SSW shortening that resulted in the present-day extent of the Variscan deformation front
The shape of the Variscan Belt in Central Europe : strike-slip tectonics versus oroclinal bending
"The European Variscan belt sharply changes its trend in easternmost Germany and western
Poland, where the ENE- to NE-striking structures are replaced by the ESE- to SE-trending ones. The
structures of still another, NNE-SSW strike, take the lead, however, along the SE margin of the
Bohemian Massif. The Variscan belt seems, thus, to make nearly a U-turn, encircling the Bohemian
Massif from the north. This has been explained for almost a century by assuming a 180° oroclinal
loop, in which the Rhenohercynian and Saxothuringian tectonostratigraphic zones inarm the core
of the Bohemian Massif. According to this classical view, the outermost tectonostratigraphic zone
of the Variscan belt, the Rhenohercynian Zone, continues eastward in the deep substratum of the
Permian-Mesozoic basin and reappears at the surface along the eastern rim of the Bohemian
Massif." (fragm.
On the nature of the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone
The authors interpret the structure of the Central Carpathian-North European plates suture zone in Poland, where three main Carpathian tectonic units: the Central Carpathian, Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) and Outer Carpathian are present. In general, the PKB follows this zone. Several deep bore-holes were drilled in this region and the seismic lines were tied to bore-hole data and geological maps. The Polish PKB belongs to the complex geological structure stretching from Vienna in Austria to Romania. The rocks included in the PKB tectonic components were deposited within the paleogeographic realm known as the Alpine Tethys, mainly during the Jurassic-Early Cretaceous times. Both strike-slip and thrust components occur within the Polish section of the PKB. The strongly tectonized, few kilometer wide PKB zone is limited by a flower structure marked by two major faults, linked to the strike-slip zone. These faults reach the North European Platform (part of the North European Plate). The flysch sequences, arranged into a series of north-vergent thrust-sheets, constitute the main component of the PKB in the survey zone. They contain olistoliths, which are mainly Jurassic-Early Cretaceous in age. The PKB tectonic components of different age, strike-slip, thrust as well as toe-thrusts and olistostromes are mixed together, giving the present-day mélange character of this belt, where individual units are hard to distinguish. Two olistostrome belts (mélange units) exist within the PKB structure. The seismic lines show the Central Carpathian Paleogene rocks covering the Paleozoic Central Carpathian Basement south of the PKB. The Subtatric covers the High-Tatric autochthonic and allochthone rocks. The Central Carpathian Plate is thrust over the North European Platform in the Podhale region. The allochthonous Outer Carpathians consist of several nappes (thrust-sheets) verging northward. They are thrust over each other and over the North European Platform which dips gently southward

National comparison of methods for determination of radon in water
The article describes three interlaboratory experiments concerning 222Rn determination in water samples.
The fi rst two experiments were carried out with the use of artifi cial radon waters prepared by the Laboratory
of Radiometric Expertise (LER), Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków in 2014
and 2018. The third experiment was performed using natural environment waters collected in the vicinity of the
former uranium mine in Kowary in 2016. Most of the institutions performing radon in water measurements in
Poland were gathered in the Polish Radon Centre Network, and they participated in the experiments. The goal of
these exercises was to evaluate different measurement techniques used routinely in Polish laboratories and the
laboratories’ profi ciency of radon in water measurements. In the experiment performed in 2018, the reference
values of 222Rn concentration in water were calculated based on the method developed at LER. The participants’
results appeared to be worse for low radon concentration than for high radon concentrations. The conclusions
drawn on that base indicated the weaknesses of the used methods and probably the sampling. The interlaboratory
experiments, in term, can help to improve the participants’ skills and reliability of their results
Administracja, zarządzanie i handel zagraniczny w warunkach integracji. Materiały konferencyjne - Zarządzanie bezpieczeństwem
Ze wstępu: "Bezpieczeństwo jest w coraz wyższej cenie. Zajmują się nim naukowcy
oraz praktycy z różnych dziedzin. W najszerszym wymiarze
pojęcie „bezpieczeństwo” sprowadzić można do słów: stan niezagrożenia,
spokoju, pewności. Takie ogólne ujęcie problematyki bezpieczeństwa
sprawia, że różne podmioty podchodzą wybiórczo do tych bardzo
ważnych zarówno dla pojedynczych ludzi, jak i społeczeństwa zagadnień.
Inaczej postrzegają i interpretują bezpieczeństwo politycy, prawnicy,
ekonomiści, wojskowi, policjanci, lekarze, pedagodzy, a inaczej
zwyczajni ludzie. W ich ujęciu bezpieczeństwo to:
1) stan świadomości człowieka, w którym czuje się on wolny od
jakichkolwiek zagrożeń, pociągający za sobą poczucie spokoju i komfortu;
2) niczym niezakłócone współistnienie człowieka z innymi ludźmi
i środowiskiem przyrodniczym;
3) stan bez lęku i niepokoju o siebie i innych, pewność jutra;
4) brak zagrożenia utraty zdrowia, mienia i życia, komfort psychiczny
umożliwiający realizację życiowych marzeń i celów;
5) sytuacja, w której człowiekowi nic nie zagraża, a w nagłych
i nieprzewidzianych sytuacjach może liczyć na pomoc i wsparcie innych."(...
