Wizerunek Chrystusa Miłosiernego jest dzisiaj znany i propagowany w dwóch wersjach malarskich. Pierwsza, to obraz namalowany w Wilnie w 1934 przez Eugeniusza Kazimirowskiego pod kierunkiem św. Faustyny Kowalskiej, która udzielała malarzowi szczegółowych wskazówek odnośnie do wyglądu powstającego wizerunku Chrystusa. Druga, bardziej znana wersja, to obraz Jezusa Miłosiernego Adolfa Hyły, namalowany w 1944 r. do kaplicy Zgromadzenia Matki Bożej Miłosierdzia w Krakowie-Łagiewnikach.             Procesowi kształtowania się kultu Miłosierdzia Bożego, zwłaszcza w jego początkach podczas II wojny światowej i bezpośrednio po niej, towarzyszyło wiele przedstawień Chrystusa Miłosiernego. Przedstawienia te bardzo często odbiegały od wzorcowego wizerunku opisanego przez św. siostrę Faustynę Kowalską i obrazu namalowanego według jej wskazówek przez Kazimirowskiego. W tym opracowaniu zostały zaprezentowane cztery wczesne przykłady ilustracji wizerunku Chrystusa Miłosiernego, związane z rodzącym się kultem Miłosierdzia Bożego i dokumentujące proces kształtowania się ikonografii tematu.             Rysunek S. Kreduszyńskiego (il. 1) i akwarela Aleksandra Maja (il. 2) dokumentują kult wizerunku Jezusa Miłosiernego podczas II wojny światowej, a zwłaszcza w czasie Powstania Warszawskiego. Świadectwem popularności wizerunku Jezusa Miłosiernego w czasie wojny jest też fresk Felicjana Szczęsnego-Kowarskiego w kościele parafialnym w Hołubli z 1943 r. (il. 4, 5). Obraz krakowskiego malarza Henryka Uziembły z 1942 r., obecnie w kościele parafialnym w Lądzie (il. 6), jest pierwszym przedstawieniem Chrystusa Miłosiernego na tle pejzażu, wyraźnie odbiegającym od wizji siostry Faustyny zilustrowanej w obrazie Kazimirowskiego. Na obrazie Uziembły wzorował się Adolf Hyła malując w 1944 r. obraz dla sióstr w Krakowie-Łagiewnikach (il. 7). W 1952 r. malarz dokonał korekty obrazu, zamalowując pejzażowe tło. Obraz Jana Wałacha, namalowany w 1952 r. do kaplicy salezjańskiego nowicjatu w Czerwińsku, ukazuje Chrystusa Miłosiernego unoszącego się nad światem (il. 8). W takiej postaci obraz nawiązuje do wizji jaką św. siostra Faustyna otrzymała w 1935 r. podczas nabożeństwa przy Ostrej Bramie w Wilnie, gdy po raz pierwszy został publicznie ukazany obraz Chrystusa Miłosiernego.   Four Early Effigies of Merciful Jesus: drawing by S. Kreduszyński, fresco by Felicjan Szczęsny Kowarski in Hołubla, painting by Henryk Uziembło in Ląd, and that by Jan Wałach in Czerwińsk. The effigy of Merciful Jesus, epitomizing Divine Mercy, is today known and promoted in two painterly versions. The first was that executed in Vilnius in 1934 by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski under the guidance of St Faustina Kowalska, who gave the painter detailed information on the appearance of the effigy while it was being created. The second, a more popular version, is the painting of Merciful Jesus by Adolf Hyła executed in 1944 for the chapel of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy at Cracow-Łagiewniki.             The process of the formation of the cult of Divine Mercy, particularly at its early stage, during WW II and immediately afterwards, was accompanied by numerous effigies of Merciful Jesus, some of them often distanced from the model described by St Sister Faustina Kowalska and the work painted under her guidance by Kazimirowski. The study presents four early examples of the effigy of Merciful Jesus related to the emerging cult of Divine Mercy and documenting the process of the topic’s iconography formation. Kreduszyński’s drawing (Fig.1) and Maj’s water-colour (Fig. 2) are records of the cult of Divine Mercy during WW II, and particularly during the Warsaw Uprising. The popularity of the effigy of Merciful Jesus during the war is testified by Felicjan Szczęsny-Kowarski’s 1943 fresco in the Parish Church at Hołubla (Figs. 4,5). The 1942 work of the Cracow painter Henryk Uziembło, currently in the Ląd Parish Church (Fig. 6), is the first effigy of Merciful Jesus against landscape, clearly distant from the vision of Sister Faustina illustrated in Kazimirowski’s painting. It was Uziembło’s work that served as the model for Adolf Hyła who executed the effigy for the Cracow-Łagiewniki Sisters in 1944 (Fig. 7). Painting over the landscaped background, the artist corrected his work in 1952. In turn, Jan Wałach’s 1952 painting for the Salesian novitiate chapel in Czerwińsk shows Merciful Jesus rising above the world (Fig. 8). In this form, it echoes the vision St Sister Faustina had in 1935 during the Mass at the Vilnius Gate of Dawn when the effigy of Merciful Jesus was first presented to the public.

City marketing tries to position cities in the mind of the public, although the process of creating and communicating city brands is still at an early stage of its development. One of the main tools for the communication of these brands is now the World Wide Web. This chapter describes the results of two combined studies (qualitative and quantitative) that analyzes a sample of official city Web sites. The results show that official Web sites of cities give much attention to ease of navigation, but interactivity is much less implemented, especially between users. Furthermore, some lack of attention to the communication aspects of city brands can also be found. Finally, the chapter submits a number of improvement proposals.

Ao longo do tempo, o turismo tem se destacado como uma importante atividade econômica no mundo, gerando serviços, produtos, emprego e renda. Entretanto, tão importante quanto o seu potencial econômico, é o seu potencial social, capaz de transformar localidades que apresentam desequilíbrios e limitações, o que vem sendo proposto pelo turismo voluntário também conhecido como volunturismo. Embora seja muito praticada no exterior, essa modalidade, está em estágio inicial no país, o que traz à tona dúvidas e questionamentos em relação ao tema e a necessidade de estudá-lo a fim de que se possa compreendê-lo em sua totalidade. Deste modo, faz-se a reflexão: O que é turismo voluntário? Qual o perfil do público que o pratica? Quais as diferenças entre turismo voluntário e turismo solidário? Quais os impactos nas comunidades visitadas? A partir desses questionamentos, o presente trabalho visa discorrer sobre o turismo voluntário apresentando suas interfaces conceituais, problemáticas e perfil dos praticantes, de modo a contribuir com o esclarecimento e debate teórico sobre o tema. Assim, vê-se a importância de estudos em relação ao turismo voluntário para que, a partir de sua compreensão, os resultados positivos possam ser maximizados e os negativos minimizados. Baseando-se em seu caráter de agente transformador social, pode-se inferir que o turismo voluntário é mais uma forma de se fazer turismo, contrária ao turismo de massas, do que um segmento propriamente dito. Tourism and volunteering: the search for understanding of the voluntourism ABSTRACT Over time, the tourism has distinguished itself as an important economic activity in the world, generating services, products, employment and income. However, as important as its economic potential, it is its social potential capable of transforming localities that show unbalances and limitations, what has been proposed by the volunteer tourism also known as voluntourism. Although it has been practiced abroad, this type of tourism is in an early stage in the country, which propitiates doubts and questions concerning the theme and the necessity to study it in order to understand it in its entirety. Thus, the reflection is done: What is volunteer tourism? What is the public profile that practices it? What are the differences between volunteer tourism and solidary tourism? What are the impacts on the communities visited? Based on these questions, the article aims to discuss about volunteer tourism showing its conceptual interfaces, problematic and the profile of the participants in order to contribute to the elucidation and the theoretical debate on the subject. Therefore, one sees the importance of the studies concerning volunteer tourism so that, from its understanding, positive results can be maximized and negative results can be minimized. Based on its character of a social transforming agent, one can infer that the volunteer tourism is more a way of doing tourism, contrary to mass tourism, than a segment itself.

This article explores the current state of knowledge in relation to public–private partnerships (PPPs), taken to mean working arrangements based on a mutual commitment (over and above that implied in any contract) between a public sector organization with any organization outside of the public sector. Since it originally became fashionable over 25 years ago, the concept of PPPs has been strongly contested. However, PPPs are now to be found in the public domain in many countries around the world and their number has been increasing in recent years. This article looks at how this has happened, what have been the strengths and weaknesses of this development and what the future may hold for PPPs. It argues that we are still at an early stage of learning which types of PPP are appropriate for which tasks and at managing PPPs to increase public value. It will be essential to apply principles of good governance to the future development of PPPs — but it will also be necessary to ensure that these principles are genuinely appropriate to the context in which these PPPs are working.

This essay draws attention to the surprising lack of scholarship on the staging of garden scenes in Shakespeare's oeuvre. In particular, it explores how garden scenes promote collaborative acts of audience agency and present new renditions of the familiar early modern contrast between the public and the private. Too often the mention of Shakespeare's gardens calls to mind literal rather than literary interpretations: the work of garden enthusiasts like Henry Ellacombe, Eleanour Sinclair Rohde, and Caroline Spurgeon, who present their copious gatherings of plant and flower references as proof that Shakespeare was a garden lover, or the many “Shakespeare Gardens” around the world, bringing to life such lists of plant references. This essay instead seeks to locate Shakespeare's garden imagery within a literary tradition more complex than these literalizations of Shakespeare's “flowers” would suggest. To stage a garden during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries signified much more than a personal affinity for the green world; it served as a way of engaging time-honored literary comparisons between poetic forms, methods of audience interaction, and types of media. Through its metaphoric evocation of the commonplace tradition, in which flowers double as textual cuttings to be picked, revised, judged, and displayed, the staged garden offered a way to dramatize the tensions produced by creative practices involving collaborative composition and audience agency.

In Vitruvius’ treatise, what makes good architecture is its ability to communicate to the public particular messages that reflects the program of the building with spaces and components arranged in an orderly way. According to Vitruvius these messages when acknowledges by the public the building posses strong character. This research discusses this idea by reflecting on the 1895 competition of the Egyptian Museum project. Marcel Dourgnon, the French architect of the winning scheme, showed profound understanding of character resulting in a building that had positive vibe with the local community.  Today Vitruvius’ idea is still living with us. Norman Foster succeeded in upgrading the British Museum in a way that addressed all cultures of the world through his grand atrium design.  Similarly, Emad Farid and Ramez Azmy revived the presence of the Egyptian Museum in public cognition.  Spatial experience that evokes similar perceptions to all its visitors is a timeless piece that transcends cultural boundaries.

The main content of the work consists of certain systematization and addition of longexisting, but eventually deformed and partly lost qualitative ideas about the role of thermal and wind factors that determine the physical mechanism of the World Ocean’s General Circulation System (OGCS). It is noted that the conceptual foundations of the theory of the OGCS in one form or another are contained in the works of many well-known hydrophysicists of the last century, but the aggregate, logically coherent description of the key factors determining the physical model of the OGCS in the public literature is not so easy to find. An attempt is made to clarify and concretize some general ideas about the two key blocks that form the basis of an adequate physical model of the system of oceanic water masses motion in a climatic scale. Attention is drawn to the fact that when analyzing the OGCS it is necessary to take into account not only immediate but also indirect effects of thermal and wind factors on the ocean surface. In conclusion, it is noted that, in the end, by the uneven flow of heat to the surface of the ocean can be explained the nature of both external and almost all internal factors, in one way or another contributing to the excitation of the general, or climatic, ocean circulation.

In today’s world, it is easier and easier to stay connected with people who are halfway across the world. Social media and a globalizing economy have created new methods of business, trade and socialization resulting in vast amounts of communication and effecting global commerce. Like her or hate her, Kimberly Noel Kardashian West as known as Kim Kardashian has capitalized on social media platforms and the globalizing economy. Kim is known for two things: famous for doing nothing and infamous for a sex tape. But Kim has not let those things define her. With over 105 million Instagram followers and 57 million Twitter followers, Kim has become a major global influence. Kim has travelled around the world, utilizing the success she has had on social media to teach make-up master classes with professional make-up artist, Mario Dedivanovic. She owns or has licensed several different businesses including: an emoji app, a personal app, a gaming app, a cosmetics line, and a fragrance line. Not to be forgotten, the Kardashian family show, ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ has been on the air for ten years with Kim at the forefront. Kim also has three books: ‘Kardashian Konfidential’, ‘Dollhouse’, and ‘Selfish’. With her rising social media following, Kim has used the platforms to show her support for politicians and causes, particularly, recognition of the Armenian genocide. Kim also recently spoke at the Forbes’ women’s summit. Following the summit, Kim tweeted out her support for a recent movement on Twitter, #freeCyntoiaBrown which advocated for a young woman who claimed to have shot and killed the man who held her captive as a teenage sex slave in self-defense. Kim had her own personal lawyers help out Cyntoia on her case. Kim has also moved beyond advocating for issues within the confines of the United States. As mentioned earlier, she is known for advocating for recognition of the Armenian genocide. In the last two years, her show has made it a point to address the Armenian situation as it was then and as it is now. Kim has been recognized as a global influencer by others across the wordl. We believe Kim has become the same as political leaders when it comes to influencing the public. Kim’s story reveals that the new reality creates a perfect opportunity for mass disturbances or for initiating mass support or mass disapproval. Although Kim is typically viewed for her significance to pop culture, Kim’s business and social media following have placed her deep into the mix of international commerce. As her businesses continue to grow and thrive, we may see more of her influence on international issues and an increase in the commerce from which her businesses benefit.
