Zniszczenie ziemi w Księdze Judyty jako sposób wystąpienia szatana przeciwko Bogu

Author(s): Dariusz Bartoszewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2007

Walka opisana w Księdze Judyty nie jest konfliktem historycznym. Jest to, przedstawiona w wyszukanej formie literackiej, refleksja nad metodami działania szatana, przeciwnika Boga, przeciwnika człowieka a także wszelkiego życia i sposobami skutecznej obrony przed jego agresją. Działanie złego przybiera różnorodne formy. Śmiercią jest każdy grzech, który zabija w człowieku Boże życie. Grzech może wprost przybrać formę zabójstwa niewinnego człowieka. Formą służenia śmierci jest także niszczenie życia w przyrodzie. Rozwiązanie ukazane w Księdze Judyty to obrona życia nawet w niewielkiej skali, przez słabego człowieka prowadzona ze świadomością, że jest to element większego konfliktu rozgrywającego się pomiędzy Bogiem i szatanem.

Ekologia człowieka

Author(s): Stefan Konstańczak / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2006

Environmental problems do have a universal dimension: they concern entire humanity as well as each human being individually, therefore, a new ecology needs to be developed in which man will play a principal role being a focal point of the study, its creator and executor of its assumptions, the discipline thus understood is one of the aspects of general ecology for it studies relationships between man as a species and its environment, the author believes that, regardless of the standpoint that representatives of various sciences may take, the future of our species depends on the interdisciplinary approach toward the questions that are subject to human ecology studies.

Białka roślinne i ich funkcjonalne działania

Author(s): Grażyna Nowicka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2006

The primary role of the diet is to provide adequate quantities of nutrients to meet metabolic requirements and maintain optimal health. However, it has been shown that certain types of food or specific food components can affect a variety of body functions and provide specific health benefits. Diet containing such types of food may promote better health and play an important role in disease prevention by reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases. Vegetable proteins, especially legume proteins, have been recognized as factors influencing lipid metabolism. Hypocholesterolemic effects of different legume proteins have been documented. Hypotensive action of bioactive peptides derived from soy and lupin proteins has been reported. In soy a peptide of anti-mitotic activity was found and it may play a significant role in suppression of tumor development and cancer prevention. Diet rich in vegetables and vegetable proteins is related to lower risk of cardiovascular and cancer mortality.

Przestrzenio-czas i czaso-kultura. Uwagi o komplementarności przestrzeni, kultury, czasu i krajobrazu

Author(s): Jacek L. Łapiński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2006

It is true to say that there is a wide range of definitions and types of space e.g. abstract space, mathematical space, physical space, social space, etc. Cultural depiction of space emphasizes its anthropological dimension. Cultural space is a sphere of social relations, interactions, and feed-back between a human being and physical space. According to E.T. Hall, space is a form of communication. In my opinion, it is also the environment for the functioning of culture. Simultaneously, space seems to be a characteristic product of culture. Time is forming the organizations of cultural space. Time is a measure of change (Aristotle) a total of various rhythms, events, and conceptions (E.T. Hall). From an anthropological point of view, time is also a creator of different kinds of space environments for different kinds of culture. Cultural space and time complement one another. It appears that they should be perceived as space-time. As E.T. Hall claims, culture is a form of interpersonal communication. It is formed by any number of units and it reveals three levels of functioning:a) conscious, technical;b) private (or personal);c) hidden, unconscious, primary.The essential element shaping all levels of culture like in the case of space is time (e.g. biological, physical, metaphysical, sacred, cultural, etc.) Generally speaking, time is a silent language of culture - one of the basic means of communication. As Hall believes, time is a core system of every culture. As well as being the main organizer of a human being s cultural activity, time is a tool of insight into the culture. In my opinion, cultural research should take the modifying influence of time into consideration, these two factors ought to be treated inseparably as the reality of time-culture. Culture is a constituent of a cultural landscape. In my opinion, a cultural landscape is becoming a culture physiognomy an external reflection of its constituents: time, space, and communication. A cultural landscape is a manifestation of collective national remembrance which was inherited through generations, society, and ethnic groups. A cultural landscape evolves within the changes of remembrance, however remains strangely stable. Its changes occur with the delayed reactions. A hypothesis that explains the above characteristic features of a cultural landscape is one of Rupert Sheldrake's concept of the morphic field and morphic resonance.

Aksjologiczne podstawy integralnej ochrony środowiska przyrodniczego i ludzkiego

Author(s): Wojciech Bołoz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2006

Over the last few decades, we have witnessed a significant change in human mentality and attitudes towards the natural environment and its protection. This change is accompanied by different axiological principles within which we can distinguish: 1) the anthropocentric concept which places man in the centre and grants him a privileged place amongst other species; 2) the anti-anthropocentric concept which stresses the equality of all species and demands a reversal in humanistic orientation consolidated by the European Enlightenment; 3) the moderate anthropocentric concept which underlines human’s caring and a responsible role towards the ecosystem. As disturbances of ecological balance are the result of human actions and the sign of the cultural crisis, the necessity to protect the natural environment should be realised. John Paul II was a supporter of the above. He referred to the integrated ecology, which combines the protection of the natural environment with the concern of the quality of human spirituality. Integrated ecology poses two demands: 1) all actions towards environmental protection should be understood as means of confirming the respect of human personal dignity; 2) those actions which harm the natural environment and threaten man should be given up.

The article is about the conception of sustainable development settled in the context of culture and civilization changes. It can be taken as an alternative the further civilization development.The conception is a global strategy of the development. It relies on the inclusion of the natural environment into the social and economic development of a region, country, or in a global perspective, of the whole world. It assumes a long-lasting improvement of the quality of life of the present and future generations which is integrally associated with environmental improvement. It also shows the necessity of the spiritual growth and changes of the material aims of the development into immaterial ones. In all these aims and assumptions there are a lot of practical and mental problems in the sphere of sustainable development that retard and even make it impossible to put these conceptions effectively into life.

Rozwój genetyki i nauk żywieniowych a działania na rzecz zachowania zdrowia

Author(s): Grażyna Nowicka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2005

Nutrition is a factor of major importance for health and also for development of diet related disorders. Nowadays there is no doubts that interaction between genes and nutrition plays a key role in health risk prediction and disease prevention. Individual nutritional status is determined not only by food availability but also by genes that control food intake, nutrient absorption and metabolism. On the other hand nutrients can significantly influence different genes expression and metabolic processes. Knowledge of genetic susceptibility to disease will help identify people at enhance risk and their response to diet. The prevalence of the types of genes of interest may differ between populations. The same genotype does not confer the same risk in all populations because of differences in environmental factors and nutritional habits. Therefore, populations should not simply copy each other’s dietary recommendations. Based on genetic and nutritional studies the best way for expression of healthier phenotypes should be found and used to promote health and prevent different diseases development.

Fatty acids derived from fish and fish oils have a strong beneficial effect on cardiovascular health and neurodevelopment. Dietary omega 3 fatty acids prevent cardiovascular disease development by the influence on eicosanoid synthesis, cytokine and growth factors production, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, endothelial relaxation. They have a strong antiarrhytmic action on the heart. Enhanced consumption of fish derived fatty acids is related to the low incidence of cardiovascular events and sudden cardiac deaths. High content of mercury in some fishes may attenuate the beneficial effects of omega 3 fatty acids on cardiovascular health and also on neurodevelopment of newborns and children

Environmental education and its contribution to sustainable cities

Author(s): Rosario De Iulio,Mario De Martino,Emanuele Isidori / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Introduction. In 2050, the human population will reach 9.7 billion people, and more than 5 billion will live in urban areas. Anthropic pressure on natural ecosystems has been progressively increasing, and it has reached worrying levels with severe economic and social repercussions. From an ecological point of view, cities act as a hetero-trophic system. They import raw materials, transform them, and dispose their waste, mostly in faraway places. Therefore, the city is an unbalanced system needing more and more rural spaces which are functional for finding resources to continue developing and progressing. This article highlights the importance of environmental education in sustainable city building processes in South European cities. Materials and Methods. As the European Union has intensified its engagement in sustainable cities, only cities awarded by European green capitals were included. Cities from North Europe have been excluded since environmental education has been developed previously. The methodology used in this analysis is the case study. Results. Environmental education is a process that allows people to learn about environmental issues, solve problems, and take action to help the environment. Two cities were included in the analysis: Nantes and Lisbon. Nantes' strategy was to draw attention to the housing problem, improve urban life quality and active participation of citizens in future community choices. Lisbon planned to increase soft mobility, construct new bike paths, and improve the public transport network. Conclusions. The analysis of the two cities, conducted by a comparative methodology, shows the potential intervention areas and indicates how environmental education contributes to a sustainable city. Together, Nantes and Lisbon applied an environmental education strategy based on citizens' participation, involvement, and education. Similar strategies are recommended for the future development of more sustainable cities. Environmental education contributes to the city's sustainable development, promoting awareness among people of ecological problems. At the same time, it stimulates the growth of operational skills, such as a sense of initiative and the ability to assume and take responsibility.
