State interventionism today is inextricably linked to organisational processes and the coordination of business activity in the market economy. State intervention in agriculture is policy that actively influences the economic and social processes that occur in this sector. The main reasons the state intervenes in agriculture are that the markets related to agricultural are incomplete and imperfect, costs and exogenous effects come into play, there is a need to and usefulness in supplying the agricultural sector with public goods, as there is a need also to reduce the consequences of incomplete information (by e.g. using agricultural advisors) as well as problems concerning profit sharing. There are also reasons entrenched in the distinctive features of agricultural production that apply to particular production factors and the state of agriculture as well as the time of production. Selecting and ranking the aims of interventionism depend on macroeconomic conditions and the effects of the state’s operation, the place of agriculture in a country’s economy and cultural heritage, and political and economic stability.

Nowadays, it seems that all disciplines have to pretend being “scientific” in order to ensure their credibility. But the “social sciences”, which aim at a better knowledge of the Human regarding what makes him its own kind, are they really sciences? Pretending to be so, do they not expose themselves to be qualified as “non-scientific” by the most critical minds in their time, just as did Karl Popper about psychoanalyses and theses on the psychological selfishness? In turn, is it possible to pretend that the “social sciences” are not sciences while stating that their dignity requires them to ask for another paradigm, a much more subtle one? The present contribution will try to answer to these questions. It will start with the proposal to replace the inappropriate name of “social sciences” by another one, much more respectful of the methods which should be theirs, which would be “disciplines of the subject”.

In the first part of the article, I present the argument for theological fatalism consisting in the thesis that if God has an infallible knowledge of future contingents, then whatever happens in the world happens necessarily. Next, I discuss the open theism view, whose rejection of theological fatalism rests on the claim that God does not know future contingents in advance. In the second part of the paper, I analyze the open theism view in the context of the evidential argument from evil. The evidential argument from evil says that the occurrence of great and pointless suffering in the world makes the existence of God very improbable. The open theism view implies that since God does not know the future contingents (great and pointless evils included), the occurrence of such evils does not compromise his omnipotence or his benevolence, and, hence, it does not make his existence improbable. In the last part of the article, I make some critical remarks on the theodicy of open theism recently put forth by William Hasker and I emphasize that this theodicy is based on axiological assumptions which are not evident enough in themselves.

Independence of observations is one of the key assumptions underlying regression analysis and other methods based on the general linear model. The assumption of independence of observations is met, when a score on an outcome variable obtained by an individual is not dependent on results of other persons. This article introduces the hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) - statistical method that is recommended, when there is a real chance, that the assumption of observations' independence is violated. The structure of our article is threefold. In the first part we present basic methodological reasons for applying HLM method, stressing its advantages in comparison to the traditional regression analysis based on the ordinary least squares estimation. The second part introduces the most important theoretical notions underlying hierarchical models - a division into fixed and random effects, a multilevel data structure (including cross-level interaction), and a specific approach to variance components. In the third part we show two empirical examples of HLM application, including a detailed interpretation of their results.

Cyberspace of digital media changes contemporary education in two ways: by a new approach to understanding information and a new way of organising this information. In the first case, it is objectification of information that favours the idea of a reduced type of education, based on certain extent of knowledge that is applicable in practice. In our approach, we emphasise the fact that information cannot be taken merely as an object, but also as a contextual and unlimited semantic unit which, through a new organisational level, becomes knowledge. Besides information and knowledge, higher level of cognition requires tacit human features – creativity and wisdom, as well as moral character of man. The second case brings a net-like structure of information, characterised by loop processing, prompt (almost immediate) linking of information that is predominantly image-based. This type of communication and organisation of information is useful because it gives us a fast way of searching for information and – perhaps – more creativity as well. However, it quite possibly implies a risk of weakening some of the cognitive abilities of man (such as logical and abstract thinking), vital not only in the scientific activities, but also in the everyday life. Under influence of communication within cyberspace, contemporary education is beginning to dramatically turn away from discursive (logical, abstract) thinking to associative (especially image-based) thinking. These new trends in education are reflected on really negatively by many authors, for example by M. Bauerlein, N. Carr, K. P. Liessmann or M. Spitzer, as they demand certain ‘counteraction’ which should be based on literacy, critical thinking, information hygiene and which should also become an important component of modern media education.

Tadeusz Boy-Zelenski’s journalistic activity, which developed around the movement for “birth control” and “birth regulation” was one of the most thoroughly discussed episodes connected with customs changes in the Inter-war period. It gathered the dilemmas of the modern population policy which eagerly resorted to slogans promulgated by the then Neomalthusians and eugenics propagators. Sharing their belief that the key to end the crisis which consumed the European society was scientific research, Boy postulated the introduction of various biopolitical practices in order to reduce the population growth.

The Responsibility to Protect concept has evolved from the debate about a ‘right to intervene’ that broke out in 1990s under the influence of events in Rwanda and Bosnia. After the intervention in Kosovo and later controversies over the legitimacy of NATO’s actions, Kofi Annan, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations, in his famous address at the General Assembly in 1999 brought into question the fundamental principles. Annan explained that the principles of sovereignty and non-interference offer vital protection to small and weak states, but at the same time emphasized that ‘if humanitarian intervention is, indeed, an unacceptable assault on sovereignty, how should we respond to a Rwanda, to a Srebrenica — to gross and systematic violations of human rights that offend every precept of our common humanity?’. The Secretary agreed that no legal principle — state sovereignty in particular — can ever shield crimes against humanity. Of course, armed intervention must always remain the option of last resort, but in the face of such mass murder as genocide it is an option that cannot be automatically relinquished. Gareth Evans and Mohamed Sahnoun founded the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. After one year the Commission published its ‘Responsibility to Protect’ report that was accepted by the Secretary-General on 18 December 2001. Despite the delicacy of the matter, Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, has shown a great determination to promote this issue and to change the words into action. Currently we can observe worldwide deep enthusiasm for the in statu nascendi norm, Responsibility to Protect. Resolutions are being adopted, meetings are organized, special institutions and experts are nominated, debates during the meeting of UN bodies are held, and numerous scientific works concerning this issue are published. Most UN agencies that deal with human rights, development, peace, refugees and humanitarian work are aware that Responsibility to Protect is the idea they have to respect. It is a very dynamically developing concept — its time has just come!

In biomedical engineering, both in the Polish- and French-speaking world, numerous scientific papers are published every year: articles in specialist periodicals, doctoral theses, monographs, academic textbooks, etc. Even a perfunctory analysis of titles and names of authors indicates that these are not translations. At the same time, specialists constantly draw on works written in English. They also refer to them in their publications, thus doing the work of translators (usually unconsciously). The aim of the article is to show how specialists refer to foreign-language works and what linguistic means they use when quoting research results described in a foreign language.

This article is dedicated to writings of Western commentators on the views on science studies by William Whewell, a prominent historian of the inductive sciences and philosopher of inductive sciences. The article is the formerly announced by the author appendix to his books Komentarze do naukoznawczych poglądów Williama Whewella (1794-1866). Studium historyczno-metodologiczne (in press). The conclusions on Whewell’s views, of such authors as Isaac Todhunter (1876), Douglas J, Stair (1882), Robert E.Butts (1968), Yehuda Elkana (1984), Menachem Fisch (1991), Richard R. Yeo (1993) and John Lose (Polish translation of the book published in Warsaw in 2001) were discussed in details. In addition, information was presented about dozens of articles that had been published in Western journals, mostly in English/American version. The article is a contribution to the anty-empirical philosophy of science as well as history of science, with which the author has dealt for years either as a historian of chemistry or as a historian of the philosophy of science. The main aim of the author at undertaking to write this article was to present, in a synthetic form, the sources of contemporary science studies (science of science; logology), whose outstanding representative in the 19th century was William Whewell.

This article approaches complex relationships between disturbance-based ecologies and processes of urbanisation by focusing on urban fringes and valuation of life-forms within landscapes. The thematic discussion is inspired by changes of the Paljassaare Peninsula in Tallinn, which motivated the author to analytically assemble historical layers, ecological imaginations, and stories of planetary affects. The fieldwork related to the article’s argumentation is mainly based on the ethnographic method bringing together observations, interviews, and thematic narratives. The study indicates that disturbances and non-humans/birds become part of the landscape as intertwined materiality and perceiving-with, which involve tensions between presence and absence, and also tensions between past and future. The environment is not a passive “stage” in the process, but appears through emotional landscapes by creating relations between humans and non-humans. Transboundary flight trajectories of birds widen the perspective on earth-bound connections in urban space and make to rethink ways of co-existing. Urban landscapes linked to the sea accumulate diverse disturbances and ruptures, and their effects can be conflicting and interpretations change in time. The current study reveals tension fields and partial continuity of processes in which the Soviet-era legacy forms just one part in the complex assemblage. The border zone and the closed military-industrial complex in Tallinn coastal terrain generated conditions for disturbance-based ecologies, which have significantly influenced urban landscapes. Interim usages and valued ecologies slowed down effects of urbanisation and gave “voice” to particular characteristics of urban nature through which the Paljassaare Peninsula and migratory corridors of birds became part of a wider urban change. The desired (urban) nature appears as an expression of good and bad ecologies influenced by imaginations about landscapes and infrastructure. The evolvement of green areas and waterfront spaces in post-socialist cities is approached as part of Europeanisation, in which practices of European Union states are smoothly and uncritically adapted. The example of Paljassaare reveals entangled multi-dimensional connections between history, civil-society initiatives, and ideas of spatial planning, which were based on care and enabled the bordering of Natura 2000 bird protection area despite urbanisation pressure. Therefore, urban nature and urban landscapes as contested links between the (post)Soviet heritage and Europeanisation require in-depth analysis for revealing a more complex process than linear transformation. The following of disturbance-based ecologies and longer durations make it possible to problematise the Soviet-era homogenous legacy. Anthropocene traces, as a dominant force of humankind, have materialised in Paljassaare through industry, mining, building of a military complex and infrastructure of urbanisation, which, step-by-step, firmly linked the former islands to the city. Urban spatial futures lean on environmental legacy and simultaneously try to distance from the dark side of legacies. The paradox is that the terrains extensively disturbed by human activities can become meaningful within landscapes in problematising the forces of humankind and the position of humans in the context of the Anthropocene.

This paper focuses on the symptom of a “sick body” that symbolizes the phenomenon of dissociation and dis-communication in the prose of contemporary Ukrainian young writers. Homelessness, rupture of generations, autism, and loser’s self-consciousness become the existential modes of being in the works of young writers O. Ushkalov, I. Karpa, M. Brynykh, and T. Maliarchuk. The paper analyses an extravagant character of self-representation of their heroes and shows how a particular morphology of body, such as annihilated body, monstrous body, fetish-body, is brought about. Another aspect of this paper concerns the melancholic sublimation that takes form of kitsch images of pop-culture and serves as a means to overcome a syndrome of total homelessness in the post-postmodern time.
