Why Moral Neuroeducation Should Embrace Ethical Humour

2019

Smiling and laughter are voluntary expressions that come from deep within ourselves. They are reflections of the character we construct through the exercise of our own will. Given that we can laugh in an ethically correct or incorrect manner, an “ethical sense of humour” reflects to what extent an individual’s ethics education has been correctly taught. “Ethical humour” is also therapeutic, in the sense that it is beneficial for one’s health. For example, it stimulates the immune system to fight the negative effects of stress, and stimulates the secretion of endorphins, which have an analgesic effect. Neuroscientific studies have demonstrated, among other things, that the cerebellum plays a…

What Explains Prevalence of Informal Employment in European Countries: The Role of Labor Institutions, Governance, Immigrants, and Growth

This paper looks into institutional and other macro determinants of prevalence of informal dependent employment, as well as informal self-employment, in European countries, using European Social Survey data on work without legal contract in on 30 countries, covering years 2004-2009.

Informal self-employment is positively related to growth in Europe at large, as well as in Eastern and Souther…

Gli aspetti fiscali delle attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni a fini di interesse generale.

2017

E’ possibile attribuire un riconoscimento, una legittimazione ed una regolamentazione giuridica all'opera prestata dai privati nell'attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni di interesse comune? La leva fiscale può essere considerata come strumento per favorire lo sviluppo di queste attività? Alla prima domanda possiamo rispondere che il concetto, oggi in evoluzione, di sussidiarietà orizzontale, sembra essere lo strumento più idoneo per inquadrare giuridicamente le azioni di privati cittadini che volontariamente decidono di prendersi cura di beni comuni ai più diversi livelli (beni immobili o mobili concernenti il patrimonio artistico/culturale o, più in generale, fruibili da una collettiv…

Art-Based Inquiry as a Method in Creating Artistic Performances Based on Historical Narratives

2020

This article focuses on art-based inquiry as an approach to creating artistic performances based on narratives related to historical events.

The Flight from Trakehnen unfolds against a backdrop of dramatic events during the very last months of the Second World War and highlights the human values of courage and ho…

Aksjologiczne aspekty wychowania

2017

<p>Artykuł ukazuje problematykę dotyczącą aksjologicznego aspektu wychowania, jest poszukiwaniem odpowiedzi na pytanie: Jak wychowywać młodego człowieka, by potrafił poruszać się w przestrzeni aksjologicznej, umiał odkrywać, tworzyć, akceptować wartości w poszukiwaniu swojego miejsca w świecie? Uważam, że aby wychować młodego człowieka, tak by żył zgodnie z wartościami uniwersalnymi, należy zadbać o to, by potrafił uczyć się obiektywnego poznawania i respektowania wartości, rozbudzał w sobie zainteresowanie życiem wartościowym. W artykule podkreślono, że aksjologiczny wymiar aktywności człowieka ulega przekierunkowaniu na wartości niższe (hedonistyczne, utylitarne, witalne, prestiżowe…

Intergenerational Interaction and the Benefits of Ageing Employees in a Nursing Home

2017

This chapter explores how ageing employees contribute to intergenerational interaction in an organization from the organizational aesthetics perspective. The data is obtained using interviews with professionals who work at a municipal nursing home designed for older people. Qualitative analysis methods were based on the aesthetic categories of ugliness and grace. As a result, I present a positive example of how ageing employees’ sensitivity and ability to create powerful stories supported the whole work community’s interaction and courage to act.
