State – law – justice in the works of Professor Andrzej Kabat
Jan Chmielewski
This article is a contribution to the biography of Professor Andrzej Kabat – a prosecutor, legal counsel, judge of the highest courts of the Republic of Poland, and a longtime academic teacher. The study discusses selected jurisprudential achievements of Professor Andrzej Kabat from the period when he held the office of a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal and the Supreme Administrative Court. Moreover, there are also references to his research on the institution of questions of law submitted to the Constitutional Tribunal, which is regarded as pioneering in the science of law, despite the fundamental changes in the political system. What marks the discussed output of Professor Kabat is both the relevance of his ideas and the great significance for the practice of application of the law.
Twitter Analysis of Health Care Workers’ Sentiment and Discourse Regarding Post–COVID-19 Condition in Children and Young People: Mixed Methods Study
Macarena Chepo, Sam Martin, Noémie Déom
et al.
BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant global impact, with millions of cases and deaths. Research highlights the persistence of symptoms over time (post–COVID-19 condition), a situation of particular concern in children and young people with symptoms. Social media such as Twitter (subsequently rebranded as X) could provide valuable information on the impact of the post–COVID-19 condition on this demographic.
ObjectiveWith a social media analysis of the discourse surrounding the prevalence of post–COVID-19 condition in children and young people, we aimed to explore the perceptions of health care workers (HCWs) concerning post–COVID-19 condition in children and young people in the United Kingdom between January 2021 and January 2022. This will allow us to contribute to the emerging knowledge on post–COVID-19 condition and identify critical areas and future directions for researchers and policy makers.
MethodsFrom a pragmatic paradigm, we used a mixed methods approach. Through discourse, keyword, sentiment, and image analyses, using Pulsar and InfraNodus, we analyzed the discourse about the experience of post–COVID-19 condition in children and young people in the United Kingdom shared on Twitter between January 1, 2021, and January 31, 2022, from a sample of HCWs with Twitter accounts whose biography identifies them as HCWs.
ResultsWe obtained 300,000 tweets, out of which (after filtering for relevant tweets) we performed an in-depth qualitative sample analysis of 2588 tweets. The HCWs were responsive to announcements issued by the authorities regarding the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. The most frequent sentiment expressed was negative. The main themes were uncertainty about the future, policies and regulations, managing and addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and post–COVID-19 condition in children and young people, vaccination, using Twitter to share scientific literature and management strategies, and clinical and personal experiences.
ConclusionsThe perceptions described on Twitter by HCWs concerning the presence of the post–COVID-19 condition in children and young people appear to be a relevant and timely issue and responsive to the declarations and guidelines issued by health authorities over time. We recommend further support and training strategies for health workers and school staff regarding the manifestations and treatment of children and young people with post–COVID-19 condition.

The Medieval and Humanistic Interests of Loris Jacopo Bononi. A Journey through Manuscripts and Prints
Veronica Dadà
The paper examines the manuscripts and printed editions of Medieval and Humanistic works preserved in the library of Castiglione del Terziere, highlighting Bononi’s preference for writings in the historiographic genre, with specific regard to the history of Florence. Among the volumes examined – all ancient editions, incunabula and cinquecentine, extremely valuable and rare – we dwell above all on the exemplars (by Leonardo Bruni, Biondo Flavio, Iacopo Foresti) that bear Bononi’s autograph annotations, because they testify to his interest in the geographical area of Lunigiana and Dante’s biography.

The Problem of Dehumanisation in the Light of Mieczysław Wallis' Intellectual Biography
Joanna Zegzuła-Nowak
The article presents an ethical problem of dehumanisation in the perspective of the works and experiences of Mieczysław Wallis, a Polish scholar, a representative of the philosophical Lvov-Warsaw School. During World War II the thinker was held captive in the German prisoner-of-war camps for about 5 years. However, he did not yield to the atmosphere of unrest and resignation, he did not immerse himself in the fear of long-lasting captivity, but he continued incessantly his scientific and didactic work. As a result, he not only illustrated the mechanisms of dehumanisation occurring in the camp reality, but also created his original intellectual “preventive programme” which allowed to defend the human psyche, personality, sensations and emotions against their harmful, destructive influence. Its foundation was the world of a human person's inner life, the focus on the sphere of values and aesthetic experiences as well as specifically human activities implied by them.

An Unknown German Translation of Toledot Yeshu by Franz Ferdinand Engelsberger, a Seventeenth Century Christian Convert from Judaism
Yaacov Deutsch
In this article, I focus on a hitherto unknown version of the polemical text Toledot Yeshu published in 1640 by a convert from Judaism named Franz Ferdinand Engelsberger. Following a short biography of Engelsberger, I describe the text and focus on a number of its unique features, that do not appear in other versions of the narrative. In addition, I demonstrate that the text includes certain narrative elements that were known thus far only from the later Huldricus’ version of the story from 1705. These elements indicate that the boundaries between the three main families of the texts identified by Di segni are not as strict as previously thought and that there was much fluidity between the different versions.

A Difficult Passage to Navigate: From Asylum Story to Refugee Tale
Helga Ramsey-Kurz
This article draws on the results of a life writing initiative, ARENA (Archive of Refugee Encounter Narratives), developed at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. It involves students of English collaborating with refugees over periods of three months to write down the latter’s stories. Like other storytelling ventures spawned by the perceived European refugee crisis of 2015, ARENA aims to enable a better understanding of the situation of refugees in Europe than the dominant asylum discourse allows. To this end, students arrange regular encounters with participating refugees and encourage them to tell whatever they consider to be their stories. The texts the students craft from these exchanges capture not only the refugees’ stories but also their own experience of hearing them. I will examine the embodied act of narration thus recorded in the ARENA corpus and contest critical claims that, too indebted to the rigid veracity standards defining official refugee testimonials, refugee life writing is unable to augment new ways of thinking about refugee experience and forced migration at large. My argument is that such criticism does not apply where the dialogic nature of live telling is consciously experienced and given due expression in the life writing it eventually becomes.

The Divine Christology of 'Remember Me' (Luke 23:42) in Light of Lament
Channing L. Crisler
Luke’s crucifixion scene includes a brief and unique exchange between the crucified Jesus and an unidentified crucified individual often referred to as the ‘penitent thief’. The dialogue between the two only spans two verses (Luke 23:42-43). Among the words they exchange, interpreters sometimes neglect the thief’s request – ‘remember me’ (μνήσθητί μου) – and its Christological implications. This article explores those implications given the request’s intertextual and intratextual features as well as its reception history. Based on these features, the overarching argument is that the cry ‘remember me’ functions as a dying lament shaped by similar laments in Israel’s Scriptures. The ‘remember me’ of this ‘lamenting thief’ is a request for divine forgiveness, mercy, and vindication. Such cries are normally directed to Israel’s God alone within the cultural heritage of Second Temple Judaism. In this way, Luke not only includes Jesus within the divine identity of Israel’s God, but, in the climactic scene of his biography, he brings him into the deepest contours of that relationship, namely the cry for deliverance in the face of death and judgement.
Anton Chekhov’s “The Philistines” in terms of literature studies
Ruslan B. Akhmetshin
The goal of the study is to clarify the chronological framework of the so called Sakhalin period of Chekhov’s biography. The analysis of the creation of “The Teacher of Literature” is conducted to achieve it. The fate of the story “The Teacher of Literature” appears to be somewhat confused: the writer adds together “The Philistines” (“Novoe Vremja”, November 28, 1889) and “The Teacher of Literature” (“Russkie Vedomosti”, July 10, 1894). Chekhov used to avoid reiteration in his publications; thus, he dismissed the first title, and the story first appeared in the collection “Novellas and Stories” (the beginning of December, 1894) under the title “The Teacher of Literature”. As if following the writer’s will “The Philistines” was not included into volume 7 of the Completed Works of Chekhov (1974-1982) thus creating the gap effect. Having rejected the dramatic ending of “The Philistines”, Chekhov seemed to have restored it later when writing “The Teacher of Literature”, which originally constituted the second chapter of the modern story. Taking into consideration the ending of “The Philistines” postponed for five years, the story itself can be regarded as a fact of the writer’s biography against the background of the epistolary evidence and can reveal the writer’s mood before his trip to Sakhalin Island. Thus, the speculations over the story’s ideas can be related to the issue concerning the genre of the book “Sakhalin Island”.
Калачиковидные цельнолитые серьги IV–VIIвв.
Богачев Алексей Владимирович
В статье анализируются цельнолитые серьги в виде калачика из комплексов IV–VII вв. Представлена сводка артефактов из 79 памятников (Франция, Болгария, Россия, Украина, Словакия, Чехия, Австрия). На основании точных топогеодезических данных составлена карта украшений. Серьги-калачики первоначально были распространены в Северном Причерноморье и имели широкий хронологический диапазон бытования, начиная с античных памятников VI–Vвв. дон.э. до раннего средневековья (IV–Vвв.н.э.). Калачиковидная серьга для комплексов IV–VII вв. является маркером аланского присутствия. Но гунны, судя по всему, переняли изначально аланскую эстетику и символику. Кавказ, Северное Причерноморье и Нижнее Поволжье в первой половине I тыс. контролировались племенами сармат (аорсов, аланов) и гуннов. На этих территориях расположено более половины памятников нашей выборки комплексов с серьгами-калачиками. Подунавье (Австрия, Чехия, Словакия, Болгария) – еще один регион, где в археологических материалах представлены эти украшения. Также серьги-калачики найдены в Бретани в могильнике Vв. Ла-Мезьер (недалеко от Орлеана), в Бургундии и Нормандии. На юго-западе Франции (Окситания, департамент Восточные Пиренеи) известно несколько находок калачиковидных серег. Два региона Галлии (Франции) в письменных источниках названы в связи с расселением алан; в этих же регионах найдены и калачиковидные серьги. В регионе «Волга – Кама – Арал» учтено 25 закрытых комплексов с калачиковидными серьгами. Таблица взаимовстречаемости элементов погребального обряда и инвентаря в комплексах демонстрирует однородность материалов в регионах, разделенных тысячами километров. Простые серьги-калачики в регионе «Волга – Кама – Арал» могут
быть датированы IV–VI вв., серьги с гроздью/пирамидкой – второй половиной VI – VII вв. Их носителями в данном регионе были сармато-аланы.

பேராசிரியா் ந. சுப்புரெட்டியாரின் நினைவுக்குமிழிகளின் மொழி நடை / The Language Style of the Ninaivu Kumizhgal Collection by Prof. Na. Subbu Reddiar
முனைவா் பெ. கி. கோவிந்தராஜ் / Dr. P. K. Govindaraj
Modern literature in the Tamil literary world occupies a significant place, during this period. Literature changed from its useful forms and led to the development of the dialectic language of ordinary conversation. The dialogue was also the basis for the emergence of literary genres such as Feminism, Marxism and other recent trends. Among these exceptions, Professor Subbu Reddiar’s “Ninaivu Kumizhgal” collection is the one that has intellectual sharing about his school, college, the University, about interview experience. It also evinces his friendship with many prominent savants. His “Ninaivu Kumizhgal” collection is a sign that even ordinary people can create books. Professor Reddiar points out that “Ninaivu Kumizhgal” are a collection of book that all people can read about his biography. It is indeed an autobiography. The book deals with memories that blossom in professors’ memories and it also portrays his writing style. Hence, this article studies the style he handled in his “Ninaivu Kumizhgal”.
Umiejscawianie nauki (o literaturze)

Pointing that geographical context of scientific knowledge development is still insufficiently recognized,
the author tries to establish a method of placing (literary) science with a use of (auto)
biographical factors and cultural history approach. The University of Poznan Polonists’ Circle
from the twenties and thirties of the XX century serves as an exemplary research object for analysis
designed in that manner.

Activating the person in the changing situation
Helle Cathrine Hansen, Erika Gubrium
For several decades, the turn towards labour activation has dominated European social work and social work institutions. While social work research and practice focused on labour activation have long considered “the person in the situation”, exploring the service users’ experiences at specific moments and contexts in time, we argue that labour activation is an ongoing process involving a complex interplay of factors (structural, social, personal), and that these are shaped by changes and ruptures throughout a person’s life course. Furthermore, the changing situation is not an objective fact, though its meaning is actively constructed by the service user. Asking how participants in a labour activation programme subjectively make meaning of their activation experiences, with reference to changing personal histories and institutional encounters over time, we shift the focus from social work’s emphasis on “the person in the situation”, and we open the concept to include “the person in the changing situation” to help enable a more dynamic analysis of the activation process. The concept accounts for the interaction between subjective meaning making and institutional structures and offers, as these change over time. The study is based on fieldwork in the Norwegian labour and welfare services (NAV). We present three participants in the Norwegian Qualification Programme as illustrative cases, each with distinct profiles, to illustrate how service users actively refer to changing situations – as these are shaped by time, biography and institutional movement – when making meaning of their labour activation experiences. The findings have implications for social work research and practice, as matters of biography, timing and life course trajectories must be accounted for to gain a more accurate picture of the labour activation experience. A consideration of institutional and life course change also offers a better professional understanding of the complexity of lived experiences when working with service users, potentially enabling a more effective practice.

Educarsi al pensiero critico con la letteratura. L’esemplarità pedagogica de Le parole di Jean-Paul Sartre
Elena Madrussan
The Words is considered a cardinal work for several reasons: either regarding Sartre’s opus, or his intellectual biography or, in wider terms, the European Literature of the Twentieth Century. On the contrary, its pedagogical exemplary meaning is less considered, even if it links up both crucial issues of individual experience of education (family relationships, school, books) and different levels of interpretation, which make the story existentially significant for the reader. In particular, the three levels of “analytical-descriptive exercise”, “searching-knowing exercise” and “reflective-questioning exercise” can be considered as many keys which make Sartre’s autobiographical novel an exemplary opportunity of education. In this sense, the novel becomes a significant experience for the taking-shape reader not only as self-knowledge but also as education to critical mindset.
Love of Marko Kraljević in epic folk poems from Kosovo and Metohija (motive for conflict and resolving key)
Miljković Marija D.
Love of Marko Kraljević in heroic poems from Kosovo and Metohija has a significant place. Whether she is directly involved or her role is veiled, it is evident that without her epic biography of hero would not be complete. Faithfull love proves loyalty in crucial moments and with that justifies trust of her master. Often, she is direct motive for conflict and in the specific situation she is described like indirect problem initiator as well as the key for its resolving.

From national memorials to the places of living memory – the implications for education
Kinga Majchrzak
<p>Understanding places of remembrance in this text goes beyond the products of material culture. Its background are transcendental, universal values. Thanks to theirs complex nature places of remembrance can be both an area of formal, informal and nonformal education, education directed to all ages. Most of all, the symbolic nature of a places of remembrance can become an inspiration for auto-reflection, an impulse for further search and self-education, which assumes a special meaning in postmodern world. The reason for 302 <strong>Kinga Majchrzak </strong>Rocznik Andragogiczny t. 20 (2013) developing the perspective of education based on a places of remembrance is an effective way of supplying knowledge and experience necessary for active participation in the democratic process, the possibility to use it for the purpose of citizenship and ecological education. The objectives and practice of education oriented at a places of remembrance can be connected with experimental learning, problem learning, contextual learning, learning by doing, multicultural education, learning by the place biography, education oriented at the local community and other currents concerning context and the value of learning of specific places, as well as cultivating them as well as local communities or regions.</p>
