Stanisław Kamiński’s Philosophy as Christian Philosophy

This article argues that Kaminski’s concept of philosophy meets the requirements for being a Christian philosophy as articulated by John Paul II. In the encyclical letter Fides et Ratio, John Paul II affirmed the possibility, existence, meaning, and need for a Christian philosophy. He distinguished three stances of philosophy concerning the Christian faith. First, philosophy should be completely independent of the Biblical Revelation but implicitly open to the supernatural. A second stance adopted by philosophy is often designated as Christian philosophy. Third, philosophy presents another stance that is closely related to theology. Kamiński constructed an understanding of philosophy that is original, universal, and autonomous. Such a notion of philosophy (and its methodology) was based on the classical theory of being, which fulfils the demand for the autonomy of philosophy through its relationship with faith. Kamiński’s doctrinal standpoints in philosophy are rational, objective, and universal. According to him, philosophy is also compatible with the Christian faith. In this sense, one can speak of his philosophy as a Christian philosophy. --------------- Received: 22/04/2021. Reviewed: 06/09/2021. Accepted: 23/10/2021.

Physical-mathematical model of ground adhesion on the surface of the excavating parts of earthmoving machines

A large number of domestic and foreign scientists were engaged in the wear of the surfaces of the excavating parts of earthmoving machines during their interaction with the ground, as well as the problem of the adhesion of soils on the surface of the working excavating parts of machines and methods of struggle. It is known that the classical theory of digging is based on empirical dependencies obtained experimentally. They allow, basically, to reveal the essence of the process of dredging, but they differ from each other, both in their description and in the number of results. In this article, the authors propose, on the basis of probability theory, theoretical studies of the process of dredging and the interaction of the excavating part with the soil. The authors of previous studies confirm the obtained results. The developed physical model of the interaction of soil particles with the surface of the excavating part during adhesion allows us to reveal the physical cause of the process of wear of the surface of the excavating parts.

Impulse deformation of triangular plates based on the classical theory

This article discusses the impulse effects of various loads on triangular, isosceles, elastic, isotropic plates. Analytical solutions of the direct problem of determining the internal moments and deflections of the plate, as well as the numerical results of calculations of specific loading case are presented. Goal. The goal is to develop a method for solving direct problems of determining internal moments and deflections in rectangular triangular, isosceles, elastic, thin, isotropic plates. Methodology. To solve the direct problem, the Navier method, the classical theory of modeling vibrations of thin plates and the Laplace transform are used. Results. A technique has been obtained that allows one to obtain numerical and analytical dependences for calculating the internal moments and deflections in a triangular plate. Originality. For the first time, a technique was developed for solving direct non-stationary problems to determine the internal moments and deflections in rectangular triangular, isosceles, elastic, thin, isotropic plates based on the classical theory. Practical value. The obtained analytical dependences can be used to simulate impulse vibrations of square and isosceles rectangular triangular thin isotropic elastic plates, which can be critical structural elements.

Fundamental local equivalences in quantum geometric Langlands

In quantum geometric Langlands, the Satake equivalence plays a less prominent role than in the classical theory. Gaitsgory and Lurie proposed a conjectural substitute, later termed the fundamental local equivalence. With a few exceptions, we prove this conjecture and its extension to the affine flag variety by using what amount to Soergel module techniques.

Venice Commission: the role in the process of international and national law interpretation

The article aims to study the Venice Commission's role as one of the leading international law interpreters. This role has gradually strengthened in the process of scientifically substantiated promotion of legal norms and standards concerning democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Using system-structural, formal-legal, comparative-legal, empirical, and anthropological methods, one has drawn essential conclusions regarding implementing the Venice Commission's interpretive activities. As a result, it has been proved that the nature of the Venice Commission's interpretive activity demonstrates the existence and growing contradiction between the prevailing interpretive practice at the supranational level and the provisions of the classical theory of law interpretation. Ukraine's ongoing dialogue with the Venice Commission is vital to develop and improve legislation, especially laws, implementing new constitutional provisions on justice, the drafts of which have already been designed or are being developed, as well as indubitable compliance with these laws. Venice Commission's general documents should be for the Ukrainian legislator the source to base the preparation of relevant legislation.
