Electoral Geography as part of political geography has not been significantly represented as a subject of research in Croatia and neighboring countries, and there is, in particular, a shortage of papers that deal with the in depth analysis of the spatial components of elections. Therefore, the subject of this paper is an analysis of certain demographic indicators or factors and their impact on the spatial distribution of votes in US presidential elections, in the period from 2004 until the last elections in 2016. The selected include racial structure, emphasized in this paper, age-gender structure and urban-rural differences. Analysis has shown that some of the mentioned factors have a greater impact on spatial distribution of votes, having in mind that the racial structure is the starting point for observing spatial distribution of votes and is hierarchically superior to the other observed factors. People of the same racial origin generally have similar voting preferences, and the other factors mostly depend on that factor.

В статье проблематизируются аспекты гуссерлевской феноменологии, которые становятся отправной точкой для новых феноменологических теорий. Эти теории преодолевают затруднения, с которыми сталкивается классическая феноменология, такие как данность истины, историчность субъекта и «пустые» интенции. Неклассические теории предлагают свое дополнительное поле рассмотрения, в котором данность феномена необязательно носит интенциональный характер. Наиболее значимыми из них являются концепция «Другого» Э. Левинаса и «насыщенный феномен» Ж-Л. Мариона. Показано, что данные проекты позволяют работать с новыми классами феноменов. The paper questions some aspects of Husserlian phenomenology which have become a starting point for new phenomenological theories. These theories overcome difficulties of the classic phenomenology, such as: the givenness of the truth, historicity of the subject and «empty» intentions. Non-classical theories offer their own additional field of inquiry, where the given of the phenomenon isn't necessarily of intentional character. Among them, most substantial are conceptions of «The Other» by E. Levinas and «saturated phenomenon» by J.-L. Marion. The paper shows that these projects allow us to work with new kinds of phenomena.

Helicity offers an alternative approach to investigations of the structure of turbulent flows. Knowledge of the spatial distribution of the time-mean component of helicity is the starting point. Yet very little is known even about basic cases in which Helicity plays important role, such as the case of a swirling jet. This is the subject of the present investigations, based mainly on numerical flowfield computations. The region of significantly large time-mean helicity density is found only in a rather small region reaching to several nozzle diameters downstream from the exit. The most important result is the similarity of the helicity density profiles.

One school fixed its attention upon the importance of the subject-matter of the curriculum as compared with the contents of the child’s own experience. Not so, says the other school. The child is the starting point, the center, and the end. His development, his growth, is the ideal. Not knowledge, but self-realization is the goal....

The discussion on various aspects of Poland's adoption of the single European currency has been going on for a long time. Economists present various, fundamentally different views on the subject. Hence the need for in-depth analysis and development of the best solutions for Poland. Most economists agree that adopting the Euro currency in Poland will be another particularly important development stimulus for the Polish economy. On the other hand, wages paid in Euro and prices of products and services expressed in Euro may generate a rise in prices and inflation in the initial period of introducing the Euro currency in Poland. There is a widespread opinion that Poland will be fully prepared to adopt the euro currency when the level of these incomes in Poland reaches the average level in the European Union. In addition to the incomes of citizens, the productivity, innovation, productive, capital and financial potential of the Polish economy are also important in this respect.

The long pontificate of John Paul II was a time for the Church to continue reflecting on the fundamental themes that constitute the identity of the community of Christ’s disciples. Among many subjects, the priesthood appears to be a special topic: on the one hand, through the pope himself and his pastoral activity, and on the other - through a series of documents devoted to the priesthood. This article will present the person of Christ as a priest since it is the starting point for reflection on the priesthood as such. In the mind of the Polish Pope, Christ is the only priest who connects His priesthood with the sacrifice on the cross. This sacrifice includes the perfection of mediation between God and people, and simultaneously, the completion of what Christ possesses eternally as the Son. Sonship, mediation and the priesthood are topics that should be considered together as they not only interpenetrate but also complement each other. Such a broad approach to the subject, however, is limited to the analysis of the Letters to priests for Maundy Thursday.

Ecofeminism, as a socio- political movement/ ideology, emphasizes the conceptual connections between oppression against woman and oppression against nature. On the other hand, environmental crime victims are the subject matter of green victimology, which defines environmental crime in the wider sense, so that it consists not only of criminal offences, but also of all the non-incriminated ecologically harmful acts. As its victims mostly appear to be women, nature/ ecosystems, animals and vulnerable groups, therefore ecofeminism serves as the fundamental theory in exposing the andocentric context of their victimization. Taking that as a starting point, an overview of the victimological patterns and roots of victimization by environmental crime, as it is defined in green victimology, is presented in the paper. This is done from an ecofeminist perspective. The focus is on the most frequent victims of environmental crime - woman and animal. The objective is to find certain common denominators of their victimological patterns and roots of victimization in order to make proposals for a more adequate response to their victimization.

Punkt wyjścia artykułu stanowią dwa zbliżone kompozycyjnie obrazy, znajdujące się w kościołach w Pęcicach i Kurdwanowie na Mazowszu. Wzory ikonograficzne obu przedstawień zostały odnalezione w twórczości Carlo Maratty. Temat był tak popularny, ze podejmowany był i realizowany w różnych wersjach: rysunkowej (Louvre), graficznej (przez m.in. Pietera Schencka, Gérarda Edelincka, Francesco Bartolozziego i Johanna Jakoba Frey’a I), a przykłady kompozycji malarskich można odnaleźć w Genui (dzieło samego Carla Maratty), Rzymie (obraz Agostina Mascucci – ucznia Maratty) i w Kanadzie (Victoria). Podobny temat, ale różniący się kompozycyjnie, był podejmowany przez różnych artystów, a oryginał znajduje się w rzymskich Muzeach Kapitolińskich. Kolejne przedstawienie autorstwa Maratty również było powtarzane w grafice (Francesco Bartolozzi). Przykłady malarskich kopii możemy też odnaleźć w Polsce: we Włocławku i Grochowalsku oraz w klasztorze przy kościele św. Kazimierza w Warszawie. Dwie kolejne wersje (różniące się profilem św. Józefa) zachowały się na terenie województwa lubelskiego. Pierwsza,  namalowana przez Kazimierza Wojniakowskiego, znajduje się w ołtarzu głównym kościoła w Włostowicach na przedmieściach Puław. Ze względu na lokalizację, dzieło to powinno być łączone z dworem księcia Czartoryskiego, jednym z najświetniejszych centrów artystycznych w Polsce u schyłku XVIII w. Druga kopia, o niższej wartości artystycznej, znajduje się w parafii w Kurowie.   Depictions of the Holy Family Modelled on Carlo Maratta’s Compositions The starting point for this article were two paintings of a very similar composition. They are to be found in two Mazovian churches, one in Pęcice and the other in Kurdwanów. The iconographic origins of both depictions are to be found in Carlo Maratta’s works. The rendering of the subject turned out to be so popular that it bore fruit in numerous versions. It appears as a drawn version (Louvre), and as a graphical version (for example:Pieter Schenck, Gérard Edelinck, Francesco Bartolozzi, and Johann Jakob Frey I). Examples of paintings that repeat these or similar renderings of this subject can be seen in Genoa (a painting by Carlo Maratta himself), Rome (a painting by Agostino Masucci – Maratta’s pupil), and in Canada (Victoria). A similar subject, but of a different compositional arrangement, was undertaken by the same artist, and his original work is housed in the Capitoline Museums, Rome. This second rendering by Carlo Maratta has also been repeated in graphical versions (Francesco Bartolozzi). Examples of his painted copies can also be seen in Poland (Włocławek and Grochowalsk), and at a convent attached to St. Casimir Church in Warsaw. Two other versions, with a different profile of St. Joseph, are to be found in the Lublin Voivodeship. One is at the main altar of a church in Włostowice, a suburb of Puławy, which was painted by Kazimierz Wojniakowski. On account of its location it should be associated with the Prince Czartoryski court, one of the most outstanding artistic centers in Poland of the end of the 18th century. The other copy, of less artistic value, is to be found in the parish church of Kurów.

Abstract This article carries out a "state of the art" review of the scientific production in the ambit of social sciences, by focusing on works where the subject of biodiversity conservation takes centre stage. Having as a starting point a detailed literature review, we have identified some key concerns raised by authors in Brazilian journals in the areas of sociology, anthropology and political sciences, whilst acknowledging particularities of this discursive unit in the broader debate of environmental conservation. Against this backdrop, we have identified some trends in the bibliography, as well as gaps that deserve a more in-depth analysis.

The subject of interest in this chapter is the concepts of creating apposition groups that appear in the literature on the subject, e.g. zbawiciel Jesus, dziewica Maryja, matka jego, słudze Bryjidzie. Opposing theories on this topic indicated on the one hand that apposition was an element added to the parent unit, and on the other hand, that apposition was the effect of transforming the deep structure into surface constructs. These approaches were, usually intuitive, reflected by language courts describing the title expressions since the beginning of the 19th century. In this study, they were traced and proved the dominance of opinions about the syntactic starting point in the derivative of apposition. In addition, other aspects of the characteristics of the groups of positions are discussed, placing them in the basic dichotomy of the derivation of positions.

During the psychoanalytic discovery and investigation of Psychoneurosis, theoretical scaffoldings offered by Freudian theory were expansive and rich but still incomplete. Amongst the Neo–Freudians, Fromm began unearthing the psychopathology of the society under the heavy influence of Marx. Fromm remarked that the grown-up patient was not a child but an alienated adult who was seen as the neurotic. Feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness and inhibition occurred because the patient did not experience himself as the subject and originator of his own acts and experiences. Alienation had thus caused the neuroses to occur. Ushering in ‘spiritual liberation’ along with complete change of the ‘economic social constellation’ for Fromm were the necessary prerequisites before envisioning a cure of societal pathologies rooted in the contemporary mode of production. Freud on the other hand was sceptical about the application of psychoanalysis to civilization. He ringed in caution to the application of systems of knowledge developed at the individual level when projected to more global levels. Diagnosis of a “collective neurosis” would be tedious since no starting point associated with its development could emerge as the fixation point. Another hurdle that needed to be addressed according to Freud was that even if a substantial system of knowledge did take shape its implementation would be a herculean task. It would take great skill and courage to compel a community to become aware of its blind spots and become available to therapy. Thus, the growth and development of Psychoneurosis had charted a trajectory from the unexplored abysmal depths of the psyche to the more gross levels of societal productions. This paper attempts to establish links between the classic concept of Psychoneurosis and the larger gamut of modern-day society’s psychic reflections.
