Agency and Political Engagement in Gide and Barrault\u27s Post-war Theatrical Adaptation of Kafka\u27s The Trial
No full textIn her article, Agency and Political Engagement in Gide and Barrault\u27s Post-war Theatrical Adaptation of Kafka\u27s The Trial Yevgenya Strakovsky considers the political themes of André Gide and Jean-Louis Barrault\u27s Le Procès (The Trial, 1947), the first theatrical adaptation of Franz Kafka\u27s Der Prozess (The Trial, 1914). Strakovsky demonstrates that Le Procès, written and staged in the immediate aftermath of World War II, levels a critique against the passive complicity of citizens in unjust persecution in both its script and its staging. The paper also considers the elements of Kafka\u27s prose that lend themselves to a socially engaged adaptation, and demonstrates that the Gide-Barrault production perpetuates a call to action that is present in Kafka\u27s novel formally and thematically. Strakovsky concludes by suggesting that political adaptations of Kafka\u27s The Trial provide a vital discursive space to examine the nature of, and need for, postmodern agency
Universal mass equation for equal-quantum excited-states sets II
No full textWe extend our recent study of the Universal Mass Equation for equal-quantum excited-states sets reported by Roper and Strakovsky (Eur Phys J A 61:102, 2025). The masses of twelve baryon sets and sixteen meson sets, with only two equal-quantum excited states in each set, using Breit-Wigner PDG2024 masses and their uncertainties at fixed for baryons and for mesons, are fitted by a simple one-parameter logarithmic function, , where n is the level of radial excitation. Two accurate masses that start a set are used to calculate four higher masses in the set accurately. It is noted that values for equal-quantum excited-states sets accurately lie on a straight line, whose line parameters can be used to calculate and predict higher mass states for sets that have only one known member
Die Werteerziehung im Lehrwerk Johannes Pauls II.
No full textAn in‑depth analysis of writings of John Paul II leads to a conclusion that the Pope cared for upbringing that would foster to values. He clearly indicated that the person is to be viewed as the foundation of the process of upbringing and also stressed the significance of upbringing towards life in the family, nation and Church. The author of this article accounts for and presents the problem of upbringing towards values, which is interpreted from the teachings of John Paul II. First, the author indicates the complementary character of education, religion and faith, then they are oriented towards the world of values and the Christian hierarchization of these values
Angiotensin II induces soluble fms-Like tyrosine kinase-1 release via calcineurin signaling pathway in pregnancy
No full textMaternal endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a potent vasoconstrictor that increases concomitant with sFlt-1 during pregnancy. Therefore, we speculated that Ang II may promote the expression of sFlt-1 in pregnancy. Here we report that infusion of Ang II significantly increases circulating levels of sFlt-1 in pregnant mice, thereby demonstrating that Ang II is a regulator of sFlt-1 secretion in vivo. Furthermore, Ang II stimulated sFlt-1 production in a dose- and time-dependent manner from human villous explants and cultured trophoblasts but not from endothelial cells, suggesting that trophoblasts are the primary source of sFlt-1 during pregnancy. As expected, Ang II-induced sFlt-1 secretion resulted in the inhibition of endothelial cell migration and in vitro tube formation. In vitro and in vivo studies with losartan, small interfering RNA specific for calcineurin and FK506 demonstrated that Ang II-mediated sFlt-1 release was via Ang II type 1 receptor activation and calcineurin signaling, respectively. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized regulatory role for Ang II on sFlt-1 expression in murine and human pregnancy and suggest that elevated sFlt-1 levels in preeclampsia may be caused by a dysregulation of the local renin/angiotensin system
Święty Jan Paweł II o duchowości laikatu
No full textThe author of this article shows input of saint John Paul II in the understanding of spirituality of lay people. The article proves that the papal teaching about the laity is a continuation of the teaching of The Second Vatican Council and also brings some new elements. The particular attention paid to the communion dimension of the Church should be emphasized. The author also discusses the participation of lay people in the threefold office of the Christ, incarnational dimension of the lay spirituality and the question of the common call to sanctity.Autor artykułu ukazuje wkład św. Jana Pawła II w rozumienie duchowości ludzi świeckich. Udowadnia, że nauczanie papieża na temat laikatu stanowi kontynuację nauczania Soboru Watykańskiego II, ale wnosi też nowe akcenty. Na podkreślenie zasługuje szczególny akcent położony na komunijny wymiar Kościoła. Autor omawia też udział świeckich w potrójnym urzędzie Chrystusa, inkarnacyjny wymiar duchowości laikatu i kwestię powszechnego powołania do świętości

No full textThe author presents in his article the Eucharist in early centuries of the Church in the light of the most important sources available today. He shows that it is a reality very rich in the theological, liturgical and pastoral aspects. The author analyzes and presents the most important documents such as the Didache. Science of the Twelve Apostles (I/II), Apology of St. Justin Martyr (150), Apostolic Tradition of St. Hippolytus of Rome (215), Records of Martyrs. The martyrs of the Sunday Eucharist in Abitene (304) and Apostolic Constitutions with the so called “klementynian” mass (380), which division into the mass of the catechumens (currently liturgy of the word) and the mass of the faithful (now the liturgy of the Eucharist) survived to the new Roman Missal (1970) edited by the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). Analyzed by the author of this article the most important source of the Eucharistic of the early centuries of the Church (II–IV c), confirms the teaching of pope St. John Paul II (1978–2005), that “the Eucharist, understood as Christ’s saving presence in the community of the faithful and its spiritual food, is the most precious possession which the Church has on the roads of history” (John Paul II, encyclical “Ecclesia de Eucharistia”
