"Господственная власть" vs душепопечение: практика исповеди В русской духовной традиции синодального периода
The article attempts to reconstruct various pastoral models that appeared in the history
of the Russian Orthodox Church over several centuries. The author identifies several
"images" of confession, which are very different, among them: the realization of
"despotical" power in a "confessional" family of the sixteenth century, the fulfillment
of conscription, deeply personal interaction based on mutual trust and the value of a
hierarchical aspect, counseling under the guidance of a "parish elder". The state,
depending on the circumstances, either embeds the pastor in itself as a necessary part
of its own mechanism, or considers the priesthood as a foreign element, or completely
distances itself from religious affairs. The author suggests that the “types” of confession
presented in the article can be compared with the forms of pastoral self-consciousness to be found in the modern life of the church. This in turn suggests that in the Russian
Church today is characterized by the search for pastoral identity, in which the
priesthood plays a key rol

Автобиография для музея: дискурсивные практики тождественности и самости наивного автора
The article is devoted to the study of discursive identity based on autobiographical texts written by Uralmashzavod employees in the 1970s. In her methodology the author draws on Michael Foucault’s theory of discourse and Paul Ricoeur’s idea of the bilateral nature of narrative identity. In an autobiographical discourse, identity practices construct the normative subjective position of official Soviet discourse. The practices of the self are considered in the aspect of confession and frankness. It is concluded that the subjective position in the discourse is simultaneously supported by the practices of identity, and shaken by the practices of the self
Investment risk management based on oil companies, oil and the dollar
With the non-random movement of the prices of exchange trading objects in mind, by means of the methods and tools of chaos theory, it is possible to show that price changes are subject to the laws of deterministic chaos. This is a new look at this subject compared to the statistical methods that have been used for years, which in most cases assume that the distribution of the rate of returns of the examined series is normal. The aim of the study is to determine the nature of the changes in oil, dollar and Polish fuel prices: whether they are random or determined. In addition, the second aim is to investigate the cause and effect relationship between the price changes of the above-mentioned stocks. Tools such as rescaled range analysis, mean and variance stability analysis and technical analysis will be used. Conclusions resulting from the examination of the three indicated values should be interesting for capital market participants. The article ends with a short-term forecast for WIG-oil&gas.Mając na uwadze nieprzypadkowy ruch cen przedmiotów handlu giełdowego, metodami i narzędziami teorii chaosu można pokazać, że zmiany cen podlegają prawom chaosu deterministycznego. Jest to nowe spojrzenie na ten temat w porównaniu z metodami statystycznymi stosowanymi od lat, które w większości przypadków zakładają, że rozkład stopy zwrotu z badanej serii jest normalny. Celem pracy jest określenie charakteru zmian cen ropy, dolara i polskich spółek paliwowych: czy są losowe czy zdeterminowane. Ponadto drugim celem jest zbadanie związku przyczynowo skutkowego między zmianami cen wyżej wymienionych walorów giełdowych. Wykorzystane zostaną narzędzia takie jak analiza przeskalowanego zakresu, analiza stabilności średniej i wariancji oraz analiza techniczna. Wnioski wynikające ze zbadania trzech wskazanych walorów powinny być interesujące dla uczestników rynku kapitałowego. Na końcu zamieszczono krótkookresową prognozę WIG-paliwa
In pursuit of COVID-19 surgical risk stratification to manager a limited workforce and supplies in minimally invasive surgery
The protective barriers used so far in surgery do not provide adequate protection against SARS-CoV-2 virus, and reinforced protective equipment is needed. The rapid increase in the number of patients and the worldwide panic associated with the increasingly low availability of protective equipment has resulted in a shortage of protective equipment In many hospitals. Appropriatepersonal protective equipment must be provided so that the surgical team proceeding to surgery is not excluded from the further struggle for patients’ health, especially in MIS. Reckless and excessive use of maximum protective equipment may result in a severe shortage of these products when the number of infected person

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s conflicting perspectives on ecofeminist principles
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935) was one of the most productive American writers of the turn of the century. She was an author of novels, short stories, non-fiction essays and poems, well known as an activist fighting for women's rights and a precursor of feminism. Gilman proposed a redefinition of the roles in domestic life and society, with women taking more prominence. The writer rejected the male dominant role prevailing in patriarchal society and supported other emancipation movements. Using the affinity of man and animals, Gilman initiated an ecofeminist discourse by presenting a different vision, and proposing new views on the assumptions that underpin her contemporary culture. In her feminist work on the equality of women, Gilman has repeatedly drawn attention to the overt display of cruelty against animals. While addressing their rights and freedoms, the writer emphasized the similarities between women and animals in the patriarchal system, both being treated in subhuman disregard against the privileged position of men. However, her attitude towards animals is not precise and the writer repeatedly formulates conclusions that are surprisingly contradictory to her own views. In her utopian novels, the writer emphasized the potential threat from animals to humans and even questioned the animals’ overall significance. Gilman's views often clash with veiled anthropocentrism, and her ambivalent attitude to the issue of human-animal dependencies makes it impossible to reduce her views to one particular attitude. Her radical feminist views, focused primarily on women's empowerment and the fight against patriarchy, aimed for the overall transformation of society. However, the lack of consistency in Gilman’s views is also manifested in her ambivalent attitude to the overall issue of equality. As she focused on improving the situation of women, Gilman simultaneously ignored the problems of other marginalized social groups, with an undercurrent of racism, class prejudice and xenophobia showing through her writing
The incubation programme as an instrument for supporting business ideas at university. An example from Poland
People planning a business and start-up companies can use a wide range of support instruments in the first stages of their business development, the task of which is to reduce the risk associated with the implementation of a business idea. The offer available on the market includes both financial and non-financial support. One common support instrument are incubators and incubation programmes that offer assistance in the early stages of business development. Universities are an environment where incubation programmes are increasingly occupying a prominent place. They have sufficient human, organizational and administrative resources to meet the needs of innovative companies and support them with research, consultation and mentoring. The aim of this research is to discuss the typology and role of incubators in supporting business ideas and to characterise the phases of the incubation process and its models. The example of incubation programmes from Polish universities presented in the article illustrates the course of the process and the support package offered to the idea originators at a Polish university.Uczelnie pełnią kluczową rolę w regionalnych ekosystemach wsparcia innowacji. Ich rolą jest, oprócz wiodącej edukacji i badań, również transfer wiedzy i technologii do biznesu. Transfer ten może się odbywać na różne sposoby, a jednym z nich jest wsparcia studentów, doktorantów i pracowników naukowych w rozwijaniu innowacyjnych pomysłów biznesowych w ramach inkubatorów uczelnianych. Innowacje są mocno powiązane z ryzykiem, dlatego tak ważne jest wsparcie rodzącego się pomysłu już na pierwszym etapie rozwoju. Temu służą właśnie University Based Incubators i oferowane przez nie programy pre-inkubacyjne, inkubacyjne oraz post-inkubacyjne. Celem artykułu jest omówienie typologii i roli inkubatorów. Zastosowano metodą przypadku, prezentując jeden z programów pre-inkubacyjnych z Polski, obrazujący przebieg procesu i oferowany pomysłodawcom rodzaj wsparcia
The financial situation of households headed by individuals aged 50+
The article attempts to evaluate Poland’s households headed by an individual aged 50 or more. Four household groups were singled out according to the age of the head of the household. These groups corresponded to the old-age subgroups as defined by the World Health Organization. The research used selected parameters of structure and correlation measures. The results of the study showed that in each of the analyzed groups average monthly disposable income per capita exceeded average total expenditure. Approximately half of the respondents perceived the financial situation of their households as barely sufficient, a situation that had practically not changed over the previous year. The results of the research should represent a wake-up call for the authorities of both the state and social local governments to consider the problems of seniors. Ensuring a decent life should not depend on gender, beliefs, physical fitness, health, or age. Analyses, such as that presented here, are a valuable contribution to the development of any policy endeavouring to address the needs of the elderly.W artykule podjęto próbę oceny sytuacji materialnej gospodarstw domowych w Polsce, w których głowa gospodarstwa miała 50 lat i więcej. Analizie poddano cztery grupy gospodarstw wyodrębnionych w zależności od wieku głowy gospodarstwa. Pokrywały się one z, zdefiniowanymi przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia, podokresami starości. W badaniach wykorzystano wybrane parametry opisu struktury i miary korelacji. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazały, że w każdej analizowanej grupie wiekowej przeciętne miesięczne dochody rozporządzalne per capita przewyższały przeciętne wydatki ogółem. Około połowa respondentów oceniła sytuację materialną swojego gospodarstwa domowego jako ledwo wystarczającą, która praktycznie nie zmieniła się na przestrzeni ostatniego roku. Wyniki badań powinny stać się impulsem do pochylenia się nad problemami seniorów przez władze zarówno państwa, jak i samorządów społecznych. Zapewnienie godnego życia nie powinno być uzależnione od płci, przekonań, sprawności fizycznej, zdrowia, a także wieku. Tego rodzaju analizy mają duże znaczenie dla opracowania polityki zaspokajania potrzeb osób starszych
