Le droit à l’autodétermination du peuple palestinien
2016
The right of the Palestinian people to liberate themselves from foreign occupation in the name of the principle of self-determination has played, and is playing today, a central role in the resolution of the Arab-Israeli problem, representing a real catalyst principle in a process which, unfortunately, remains unfinished. The question today revolves around the fulfilment of an obligation to negotiate conventionally accepted by the parties, considered without alternative by the international community, but which in practice translates into a right of veto over the exercise of self-determination, contradicting the inalienable nature of this principle. Self-determination thus becomes negotiabl…

Prawo wyborcze czy obowiązek wyborczy? - przegląd wybranych stanowisk w obrębie nauk humanistycznych. społecznych i teologicznych
2019
W polskiej debacie publicznej coraz częściej dochodzi do głosu problem „obowiązkowego" udziału w wyborach politycznych. Wynika to z tego, iż po 1989 roku frekwencja, czyli liczebny udział obywateli w wyborach nie jest zadawalający. Autor postawił sobie w artykule za problem pytanie dotyczące tego, w jaki sposób określa się uczestnictwo w wyborach: bardziej jako „prawo" czy raczej jako „obowiązek” wyborczy. Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na to pytanie, poprzez wskazanie różnych stanowisk w obrębie historii, politologii, filozofii i teologii.

Warunki praktykowania edukacji domowej w Polsce
2021
The article concerns the subject of homeschooling practice conditions in Poland – it focuses on the legal conditions and outlines the socio-economic conditions in which Polish homeschoolers operate. It discusses the specific kind of right which is the right to education, its position in the systematics of the constitution and the connection to the learning duty and school duty. It brings attention to state-citizen relations and the rule of state subsidiarity. It points to legal regulations which allow realization of the school duty outside of school, underlining the controversial and discriminatory regulations which ignore the parents’ priority to decide on their own children’s education an…
Long-term monitoring of the TeV emission from Mrk 421 with the ARGO-YBJ experiment
2011
ARGO-YBJ is an air shower detector array with a fully covered layer of resistive plate chambers. It is operated with a high duty cycle and a large field of view. It continuously monitors the northern sky at energies above 0.3 TeV. In this paper, we report a long-term monitoring of Mrk 421 over the period from 2007 November to 2010 February. This source was observed by the satellite-borne experiments Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and Swift in the X-ray band. Mrk 421 was especially active in the first half of 2008. Many flares are observed in both X-ray and gamma-ray bands simultaneously. The gamma-ray flux observed by ARGO-YBJ has a clear correlation with the X-ray flux. No lag between the X-r…
Éticas teleológicas y terrorismo islamista
2012
To the teleological ethics of Islamist terrorism (whose main author was the philosopher Sayyid Qutb, who was, in turn, inspired by the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and the reflections of Ibn Taymiyya and Abul alla Maududi) the ultimate goal in a person’s life is to please Allah, and the main means to obtaining this goal is the full application of sharia or God’s law. This full application of sharia, which shapes a true Muslim’s life, supposedly only took place between the years 622 and 660, during the period of the Prophet and the first four caliphs (the so-called «Pious Predecessors» or «Salaf»). Islamist terrorism’s ethics, then, foreshadow a <i>regressive utopia</i>…
Cyberbullying and Empathy in the Age of Hyperconnection: An Interdisciplinary Approach
2020
Considering cyberbullying as a challenging frontier of analysis in the social sciences, we find ourselves today with the duty to analyze it within a much broader social context. Indeed, we must take into account the logic of exclusion, as a fact. Today, in the logic of how the Internet works, a thin line separates the victim from the perpetrator; this is also due to the Internet we know today, made up of a mass and a headless power. Trying to amplify this dichotomy, we can say that today we live in the era of the so-called “ban-opticon” (or the logic of prohibition). This logic ranges from simply removing Facebook friends from the list, to excluding sources of knowledge. This article has fo…
HCV eradication: a duty of the State, an option for the individual
2020
In recent years, the debate on ethical issues related to hepatitis C virus therapies has been focused on the problem of drug prices and access to therapies. Nonetheless, the goal of hepatitis C virus eradication set by the World Health Organization in 2016 is raising new ethical issues, since governments are faced with a new challenge: reaching through screening, diagnosis and treatment a large amount of subjects with undiagnosed hepatitis C infection. National governments, especially high-income countries with a Welfare State, are compelled to provide access to therapies, but also to involve those who are still unaware of their disease status. Since people cannot be forced but should be gu…
Self-reported reasons for on-duty sleepiness among commercial airline pilots
2021
Experimental and epidemiological research has shown that human sleepiness is determined especially by the circadian and homeostatic processes. The present field study examined which work-related factors airline pilots perceive as causing on-duty sleepiness during short-haul and long-haul flights. In addition, the association between the perceived reasons for sleepiness and actual sleepiness levels was examined, as well as the association between reporting inadequate sleep causing sleepiness and actual sleep-wake history. The study sample consisted of 29 long-haul (LH) pilots, 28 short-haul (SH) pilots, and 29 mixed fleet pilots (flying both SH and LH flights), each of whom participated in a…
