Einige überlegungen zu der zweiten gruppe navigantes in augustins dialog de beata vita
No full textAt the beginning of the series of Augustine’s earliest extant literary works are the three philosophical dialogues Contra Academicos, De beata vita and De ordine, which were composed in the autumn of 386 during Augustine’s otium philosophandi in Cassiciacum. In the introductions of all three works, the marine metaphors are widely used. The author compares human life with a stormy sea and sees as the only salvation the port of philosophy. In beata v. 1. 2 Augutin compares the people to whom philosophy can accommodate with navigantes, which he groups in tria genera. Although the people who belong to the respective group are described in detail, the author does not mention names. This arouses research interest and justifies the attempt to propose a representing person for each group.
The present work sets itself the goal by parallel reading of beata v. 1. 2, with some passages from Cicero’s Epistulae, Tusculanae disputationes and De officiis to make a new proposal. And this in addition to the currently existing assumption that Romanianus, to whom the dialogue Contra Academicos is dedicated, should be considered as a representative of the second group of seafarers. However, the author of the present work now ventures a completely new approach, in which Cicero can be accepted as a representative of this group
A Touch of Sophistication: FDI and Unit Values of Exports
No full textThe debate on trade and growth increasingly focuses on the composition of exports. Exports of more “sophisticated” products appear to be positively correlated with growth, and upgrading the quality of exports is high on the policy agenda of many countries. This study presents evidence suggesting that attracting inflows of FDI offers potential for upgrading a country’s export basket. The empirical analysis relates unit values of exports measured at the 4-digit SITC level to data on sectors treated by investment promotion agencies as priority in their efforts to attract FDI. The sample covers 116 countries over the period 1984-2000. The findings are consistent with a positive effect of FDI on unit values of exports in developing countries. However, such a relationship is less evident in developed countries. These results suggest that FDI can help bridge gaps in production and marketing techniques between developing and high income economies.export quality, unit values, FDI, investment promotion, industrial policy
O „Damianie Capenece” Aleksandra Świętochowskiego. Zmagania z legendą
No full textThe objective of this paper is to analyse Aleksander Świętochowski’s debut novella series O życie [Oh Life], with particular emphasis on the opening novella. The reflections focus on Damian Capenko, a novella showcasing its relationship with the worldview of the second half of the 19th century and tendentious literature. The author proposes an interpretation of the work in the light of Dumania pesymisty [Musings of a Pessimist], an earlier series of texts by Świętochowski, one of the most outstanding creators of Positivist literature in Poland. As a result of the analyses, the relationship between the texts and the initial ideas of the Polish Positivism programme is explained, along with the apparent artistic inconsistency of the series. Celem artykułu jest analiza debiutanckiego cyklu nowelistycznego O życie Aleksandra Świętochowskiego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem utworu otwierającego tom. Rozważania koncentrują się na opowiadaniu Damian Capenko, ukazując jego związek ze światopoglądem drugiej połowy XIX wieku, literaturą tendencyjną. Autor proponuje interpretację utworu w świetle Dumań pesymisty, wcześniejszego cyklu wypowiedzi publicystycznych Świętochowskiego, jednego z najwybitniejszych twórców literatury pozytywizmu w Polsce. W wyniku przeprowadzonych analiz wyjaśniony zostaje związek tekstów z początkowymi ideami programu polskiego pozytywizmu, a także pozorna niespójność artystyczna cyklu

Abstract
Arterial hypertension is classified as a chronic disease. It belongs to the group of disease that increase the risk of occurrence of cardiovascular complications, which if left untreated can lead to sudden death. It is estimated that in Poland currently 32% of the population suffers from arterial hypertension. Despite great progress in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, it is still a huge medical-socio-economic problem. Increasing the emphasis on patient education can significantly affect self-control, adaptation to recommendations and, consequently, in the future perspective will reduce the mortality rate among patients with this disease. The aim of this work is to draw attention to the still present problems of patients with hypertension by presenting the currently valid definition, epidemiology, etiology of the disease, complications and methods of treatment.
Key words: arterial hypertension, definition, epidemiology, etiology, complications, treatmen
Nuove acquisizioni sullo Specchio di Illuminazione della Beata Illuminata Bembo
No full textThe discovery of some fifteenth-century manuscripts of the Specchio di Illuminazione of Beata Bembo in the so-called “Archivio della Beata Caterina”, kept in the Archbishop’s General Archive of Bologna, has opened up new and completely unexpected perspectives on the hagiography of St. Catherine of Vigri, revealing a multiform and complex evolution of this work. Two new editions have emerged, different from the one known so far: one shorter and widely epitomized, the second longer, with significant inserts, concentrated mainly in chapters VI-IX. Based on some significant clues, the author hypothesizes that this drafting chronologically precedes that of the so-called “autograph” and that it has been the subject of a series of second thoughts and complaints by the author herself or her circle. Some 16th century codices have also emerged, witnesses of the drafting known so far, but not without interest. Very recent paleographic studies had questioned the real autography of the edited manuscript. A first examination of the new acquisitions seems to confirm that they do not derive from the “autograph”, presenting several lessons and disjunctive errors.La scoperta di alcuni manoscritti del XV secolo dello Specchio di Illuminazionedella Beata Bembo nel cosiddetto “Archivio della Beata Caterina”,custodito presso l’Archivio generale arcivescovile di Bologna, ha spalancatonuove prospettive, del tutto inattese, sull’agiografia di santa Caterina de’Vigri, rivelando un’evoluzione multiforme e complessa di quest’opera. Sono emerse due nuove redazioni, diverse da quella finora nota: l’una più breve e ampiamente epitomata, la seconda più lunga, con significativi inserti, concentrati soprattutto nei capitoli VI-IX. Sulla base di alcuni indizi significativi, l’autore ipotizza che questa redazione preceda cronologicamente quella del cosiddetto “autografo” e che sia stata oggetto di una serie di ripensamentie di censure da parte dell’autrice stessa o della sua cerchia. Sonoemersi anche alcuni codici del XVI secolo, testimoni della redazione finoranota, ma non privi di interesse. Recentissimi studi paleografici avevano messo in discussione la reale autografia del manoscritto edito. Un primo esame delle nuove acquisizioni sembra confermare che esse non derivino dall’“autografo”, presentando diverse lezioni ed errori disgiuntivi
Elsa Beata Brahes begravningsdräkt
No full textElsa Beata Brahe was the eldest daughter of the Lord High Chancellor of Sweden, Per Brahe the younger. She died when she was only 23 years old in the spring of 1653. She was interred in extremely costly clothing made of thick silk satin, covered in decorative embroidery of metal thread with lace metal edgings of gold and silver thread. During the seventeenth century, various types of burial costumes occurred. Elsa Beata’s burial clothing displays several signs of having been a fashionable dress of the period, reused for the interment. Such a costly and fashionable gown was an important part of the visual manifestation of power displayed by the nobility during the Swedish Era of Greatness, exhibiting the social standing of the bearer. Only the absolute top classes of society wore such an exclusive gown as Elsa Beata’s burial clothing. The gown is comparable to the costumes, entirely covered with embroidery, bought from France for the coronations of Queen Kristina and King Karl X Gustav in 1650 and 1654.The burial clothing of Elsa Beata Brahe became known during the documentation work that was carried out when the coffins of Brahe Church were investigated in 1932. The dress was examined again during preservation work on the coffins, in the summer of 2011. In the present state, the clothes consist of a two-piece gown, shoes, shoe roses, stockings, a neckerchief and a cloth for tying around her hair, like a small cap. In the text of this article, the preserved costume is set into its cultural context of the seventeenth century society.</p
The global distribution of trademarks - some stylized facts
No full textTrademarks are words, signs, symbols, or combinations thereof that identify goods as manufactured by a particular person or a company, therefore allowing consumers to distinguish between goods originating in different sources. Trademarks belong to the wider family of intellectual property rights (IPRs), and once registered benefit from legal protection against unauthorized use by entities other than the legal owner. While some suggest that cross-border registrations of IPRs may be associated with welfare transfers from developing to industrial countries, surprisingly little is known about an important component of the global IPR system, namely, the worldwide distribution of trademark registrations. This study provides the first step in filling this gap in the literature. Its purpose is to present some new stylized facts which emerge from the analysis of a dataset compiled by the authors based on the statistical information published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Questions of interest include the distribution of trademarks between countries of different income levels, the share of trademark registrations accounted for by foreign residents and its variation across different income groups, the extent to which poor countries participate in the international trademark system, and the distribution of registrations across different sectors of the economy.Environmental Economics&Policies,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Economic Theory&Research,Income,Economic Theory&Research,Income,Environmental Economics&Policies,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,Health Economics&Finance
Grażyna joins the game
No full textA review of Radosław Rychcik's Grażyny (Ludwik Solski Theater in Tarnów, premiere: 23.05.2015) presented during the 2nd New Theater Festival in Rzeszów (23-30.10.2015). Beata Kustra interprets the performance mainly through the lens of Maria Janion's book Women and the Spirit of Otherness, quoted at the beginning of the performance. The author attempts to show that Rychcik adopts Janion's perspective, showing Grażyna to be a woman who adopted the male social role and who can become a heroine only posthumously - when her heroic deed becomes a myth. Kustra points out many motifs and devices used by the director and comes to the conclusion that some served only to make the performance more attractive
The hapiness and its search in De Beata Vita of Saint Augustine
No full textSanto Agostinho apresenta a posse de Deus como o porto da felicidade. Deste modo, veremos que com o diálogo De Beata Vita, o autor oferece uma resposta para tal questionamento, a partir de uma noção de felicidade que consiste no perfeito conhecimento de Deus. Assim, abordaremos a referida questão com a finalidade de tornar mais evidente a concepção agostiniana de felicidade e realização humana.Saint Augustine has the possession of God as the happiness of the harbor. Thus, we seethat with the De Vita Beata dialogue, the author offers na answer to this question, from a sense of happiness consists in the perfect knowledge of God. Thus, we will address that question in order to make it clear the Augustinian conception of happiness and human fulfillment.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
The non- -existent wall? The problem of describing Muranów
No full textThe article presents the problem of recovering the memory of the Warsaw district of Muranów, the site of the WW2 ghetto in recent literature. Referring to one of the first works devoted to this subject (Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s Umschlagplatz), the author reveals subsequent changes in the treatment Jacek Leociak, Beata Chomątowska and Elżbieta Janicka’s of the issue in their books. Indicating the oscillation between remembrance and forgetting about the ghetto, the authors adopt different perspectives to touch upon the ambiguous presence of the area's former inhabitants in the consciousness of today’s Varsovians. Their ways of focusing attention on this question may be termed a commemorative perspective, focused on the psychology of space and critical discourse. Though signaling the problem differently, the authors are united in emphasising the problems related to the Polish memory of the Warsaw ghetto
