Memory Techniques

The purpose of this article is to present history of memory techniques as it described by French philosopher Bernard Stiegler. It is shown that Stiegler speaks from the point of view of humanistic marxism arguing that the positive development of mnemotechnics is determined by their integration into symbolic relations, outside of which they becomes a means of consumer capitalism. History of mnemotechnics is divided on two large periods — preindustrial and industrial, where the former is determined by the dominance of religion, politics and culture, and the latter — by the law of surplus value. It is analyzed Stiegler’s understanding of mnemotechnics as «epiphylogenesis» or «third memory». The main features of mnemotechnical evolution, from the first inscriptions on stone tools to today’s global digital retentional apparatus, is reviewed

The matter of development of the eugenic movement Has already been described in the Polish science. A lot has been written regarding both the law of the Third Reich, as well as the history of the Polish eugenic movement. However Polish project of eugenic laws have never been thoroughly analyzed from the legal point of view, despite this topic being an object to commentaries in the Interwar period. Up to this point no one attempted to analyze how strongly did the Nazi eugenic concepts influenced the Polish projects of eugenic laws. According to some authors such inspirations are easily noticeable. Thus the thesis that the German law strongly influenced the Polish projects shall be subjected to a critical analysis. The goal of the paper is to compare the German eugenic law with Polish concepts on that matter, especially projects made by Leon Wernic. Due to the use of the comparative legal analysis in the historical perspective, it was possible to indicate the similarities and dissimilarities between the Polish projects and the Nazi laws: Law for the Prevention of Hereditary and diseases of offspring; the Nuremberg Laws; the Law for the Protection of the Health of the German People. The Polish drafts include the Preventive Eugenics Act published in 1934, the drafts of four eugenics laws published in 1935; project of the law: ,,On the inhibition of reproduction of dysgenic individuals” created by Wernic; draft of the law ,,On the inhibition of undesirable reproduction” made by Witold Łuniewski and ,,Eugenics Laws” prepared by Bohdan Ostromęcki. The so-called „Eugenics Act” of 1938 has also been analyzed. The paper indicates that although Wernic explicitly pointed out his inspiration by German and Italian legislation, his concepts as well as concepts of other Polish eugenicists are original. Similarities with German legislation can be seen for example in the procedure of sterilization or a certain concordance of the catalog of diseases which qualified for sterilization. The Polish proposals, however, were not identical with the Nazi proposals. Neither were they racist or anti-Jewish in content. Moreover, the role of so-called positive eugenics was more strongly emphasized in Poland than in Germany.

In the Rede Lecture which he delivered in 1878 Clerk Maxwell wrote : ‘ The special educational value of this combined study of music and acoustics is that more than almost any other study it involves a continual appeal to what we must observe for ourselves.’ It had been the defect of musical theory in the preceding century or more that it had continually failed to make this appeal. If, however, we go to earlier days still, to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, before Rameau (1683-1764) ‘ discovered ’ the so-called chord of nature in the harmonic overtones of a musical note, we find a different story. True, we find the curious-minded speculating, as the Pythagoreans had done, about the fundamental nature of music ; but we do not find them laying down the law for composers, as the English neo-Pythagoreans attempted to do in the nineteenth century. From this point of view, as well as from that of the history of acoustics, some of the early papers in the Philosophical Transactions are as significant as they are interesting. Two of these papers appear, at first sight, to be primarily scientific. Their importance in the history of musical theory will emerge later in this paper.

Once again, it is time to talk about moral principles. This concept is clearly established in the law. But its content-content remains in the circle of discrepancies. The countdown of its history is usually considered when referring to the essay by A.F. Kony ‘Moral principles in criminal proceedings (General features of judicial ethics)’. This article is based on the author’s previous research, which showed that the idea of moral principles as a corresponding category was suggested by A.F. Kony and F.M. Dostoevsky. The article is devoted to the further goal-to extract the missing (according to the essay by A.F. Kony) information about moral principles from the artistic and publicistic works of F.M. Dostoevsky. The works of F.M. Dostoevsky are considered from the point of view of searching for the mechanism of the criminal justice system taking into account the moral principles. A.F. Kony’s essay on moral principles is filled with the history of the criminal process, and only a small part of it has become considered as a mission statement and widely.

Older people, the fastest growing part of population, are at the highest risk of acquired disability or cognitive decline and, as a consequence, their claim to receive support services, among which the Attendance Allowance for permanent personal assistance, is increasing. This benefit was introduced in the Italian Civil Incapacity system with the law 18/1980 and some relevant innovations were added with the Law 508/1988 and the Decree 509/1988. From a medico-legal point of view, these regulations, define on the one hand the necessary requirements to get a pension (non-contributory), that is physical and or mental disease determining the incapacity for work and, for infra-18 and over-65-year olds, require the “persistent difficulties” to carry out the “tasks and activities” proper to their age. On the other hand, the Law n. 508/1988 identifies also the necessary conditions to get the Attendance Allowance, for those who are unable to get around and/or are unable to carry out daily life activities without the permanent help of a caregiver.Therefore, these regulations specifically provide, first of all, the recognition of the highest level of severity of the “persistent difficulties” concerning the “tasks” and “activities” of the over 65s (prerequisites) and then the judgment for the Attendance Allowance. However, there are considerable difficulties with the assessment of this kind of disability. In fact, we have specific references about incapacity for work indicating the evaluation path and the guide for the rating of permanent impairment (Ministerial Decree 5 February 1992), but there aren’t specific normative and assessment indications about the ability to perform “tasks and activities” in over-65-year-olds (age requirement has become over 67s since January 2019) which allows the risk of a wide evaluating discretion.Italian institutions, like Ministry of Health or INPS (Italian Institute of Social Security) and others officially involved, have attempted to explain and clarify the above-mentioned rating process, but with unsatisfactory results and in some cases even with regressive ones, producing real distortions and interpretative stretches. The author, therefore, after presenting the medico-legal issues for the evaluation of older adults’ disability based on the current regulations, also criticizes the widely found practice of using an atypical, not multidisciplinary, comprehensive geriatric assessment made only for this purpose and elaborate by a single specialist. In fact, the results of a geriatric assessment, like any other Health Certification, is useful to complete the medical history of the subject alleging disability and, therefore, it must be validated by a proper and extensive medico-legal evaluation.

In the introduction to the newOxford History of the Laws of England 1820–1914, the authors suggest that their task is to tell the “history of the law itself.” This review essay examines what can be learned from a history told from law's internal point of view rather than through the perspectives of other disciplines, such as economics or philosophy. It considers whether and how the common law responded to industrialization and laissez-faire ideology, the influence of salient philosophical movements—such as utilitarianism—on statutory change, and how all history is an exercise in ideology. In considering the public sphere, it suggests that this work should form the inspiration for further inquiry.

The author of the article addresses history of the publication of the chronicles "The Cathedral Clergy" by Nikolai Leskov; she notes that the subject and the core conflict of the work collided with its publication in a number of magazines, and that only Mikhail Katkov realised the chronicle's importance and accepted it in his magazine "The Russian Messenger". In "The Cathedral Clergy", Nikolai Leskov looks at the world from a special perspective which opens his point of view as an eternity look, whereas what becomes the core conflict in the work, is confrontation of belief and unbelief of global, if not universal, scale. Realisation of one of the book's most significant motifs – motif of struggle – is analysed in the article. It is considered how Nikolai Leskov on a set of examples illustrates the heroes' active and energetic strength that is shown in advocacy of belief, in resistance to meanness and premeditated deception. The writer very thinly and skillfully shows that fight is not an intrinsic basis of righteous people, that all of them live under the law of love, however they cannot be passive observers in the world where the truth is profaned.
