To Show, But Not to Disclose. The Willingness of Polish Political Parties to Disclose Information On their Structures
2018
Abstract Constituting the key element of a democratic system, political parties are among entities obliged by the Polish legislator to comply with the principle of disclosure by providing public information. The main objective of this paper is to determine the level of Polish political parties’ disclosure, understood here as their willingness to disclose information on their own structures. It seems that the practice of disclosing such basic organizational data may constitute a specific measure of Polish political parties’ respect for the idea of disclosure. The subject matter of the conducted research was particular parties’ sites in the Public Information Bulletin as well as their officia…
Social accounting and its contribution to society
2013
With the development of the society and its economic system, a need has emerged to develop accounting as well. The increasing role of social accounting, which keeps records of for-profit, non-profit, and governmental organisations, is associated with the complexity of the environment in which businesses and organisations are operating and presenting reports about their social, ethical, and environmental aspects. Organisations are subject to greater transparency, and many stakeholders are interested in and concerned about the performance of organisations within the context that is not reflected, to a satisfactory extent, in traditional accounting. Traditional accounting ensures reporting to …
The prolyl-isomerase PIN1 is essential for nuclear Lamin-B structure and function and protects heterochromatin under mechanical stress.
2021
Summary: Chromatin organization plays a crucial role in tissue homeostasis. Heterochromatin relaxation and consequent unscheduled mobilization of transposable elements (TEs) are emerging as key contributors of aging and aging-related pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cancer. However, the mechanisms governing heterochromatin maintenance or its relaxation in pathological conditions remain poorly understood. Here we show that PIN1, the only phosphorylation-specific cis/trans prolyl isomerase, whose loss is associated with premature aging and AD, is essential to preserve heterochromatin. We demonstrate that this PIN1 function is conserved from Drosophila to humans and prevents…
Husserl's Transcendentalization of Mathematical Naturalism
2020
Abstract The paper aims to capture a form of naturalism that can be found “built-in” in phenomenology, namely the idea to take science or mathematics on its own, without postulating extraneous normative “molds” on it. The paper offers a detailed comparison of Penelope Maddy’s naturalism about mathematics and Husserl’s approach to mathematics in Formal and Transcendental Logic (1929). It argues that Maddy’s naturalized methodology is similar to the approach in the first part of the book. However, in the second part Husserl enters into a transcendental clarification of the evidences and presuppositions of the mathematicians’ work, thus “transcendentalizing” his otherwise naturalist approach t…
Notas sobre la crítica de la imagen dogmática en la obra de Gilles Deleuze
2015
El articulo enfoca la critica de la imagen dogmatica en Deleuze desde un analisis retrospectivo del papel que desempena la nocion de «imagen del pensamiento» en su obra. Tras desgranar brevemente los distintos sentidos e interpretaciones con que el autor la utiliza y cerrar la introduccion con la exposicion del uso plenamente positivo que ese sintagma acabara adquiriendo en el (el de un «plano» necesariamente requerido para pensar), nos remontamos hasta el uso critico y cronologicamente anterior –que no primero– de la expresion, donde la palabra «Imagen» (con una «i» mayuscula) senala esa preconcepcion tradicional, comun a la filosofia y al buen sentido, de un pensamiento pretendidamente «n…
Creer en el mundo, creer en el futuro: Deleuze y la “gran política” del pensamiento
2015
El propósito del presente trabajo es mostrar en qué medida la afirmación deleuziana de una unidad compleja entre vida y pensamiento implica, no sólo una crítica radical de (la filosofía de) la trascendencia –y, a su través, de (la metafísica de) la presencia–, sino también una clínica (relativa al pensar, a la sensibilidad, al cuerpo y, por ende, al tiempo) de cuyo desarrollo la “fe” en este mundo (inmanencia), así como la creencia en el porvenir (novación), constituyen las dos principales directrices
Upper thermal threshold of Lepidurus arcticus (Branchiopoda, Notostraca) in lakes on the southern outreach of its distribution range
2021
Qvenild T, Fjeld E, Fjellheim A, Hammar J, Hesthagen T and Lakka H-K. 2021. Upper thermal threshold of Lepidurus arcticus (Branchiopoda, Notostraca) in lakes on the southern outreach of its distribution range. Fauna norvegica 41: 50–88. The Arctic tadpole shrimp Lepidurus arcticus has a circumpolar distribution and the Scandes (Fennoscandian Mountains) marks its southernmost limit in Europe. Within this area, 391 natural and 88 regulated lakes with L. arcticus have been identified, of which 87% are above the treeline. The lakes hosting L. arcticus decrease in altitude from south to north, which results from its temperature preferences. The majority of the locations are at a lower lake air t…
Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …
Evaluation of the animal-assisted therapy in Alzheimer's disease
2017
Animal-assisted therapy sessions have been set up in a protected unit for patients with a dementia-related syndrome. The aim is to measure the effects of animal-assisted therapy on behavioural disorders in daily life and care. The results obtained provided some interesting areas to explore and recommendations with a view to optimising the implementation of such a system.
"Pelastettiin yksi lapsi siinä, ettei hän joutunu sitten vähän muihin instansseihin" : erityisopettajan ja toimintaterapeutin yhteistyö oppilaan ja p…
2017
Erityisopettajan ja toimintaterapeutin yhteistyötä ja sen merkitystä on tutkittu kansainvälisesti ja varsinkin Suomessa hyvin vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata erityisopettajan ja toimintaterapeutin yhteistyötä oppilaan ja perheen tukena alakoulussa ammattilaisten näkökulmasta tarkasteltuna. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tuotetun kuvauksen avulla kannustaa suomalaista peruskoulujärjestelmää hyödyntämään ja edistämään opettajan ja terapeutin yhteistyötä oppilaan ja perheen tukemisessa. Ekokulttuurinen teoria toimi tutkimuksen taustafilosofiana. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena tutkimuksena. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin teemahaastattelemalla neljää erityisopettaja–toimintaterape…
