The aim of the research study was to determine the mediation value of gratitude and forgiveness in the relationship between the sense of coherence and acting in accordance with the given principles. In order to answer the research interest, a predictive model of mediating effects was constructed. \u0000Material and method. The research study was conducted amongst 330 people aged 18 to 65, 284 women (86.1%) and 46 men (13.9%). The SOC-29 Life Orientation Questionnaire was used to measure the independent variable of sense of coherence. The mediating variables of gratitude and forgiveness were examined using the GQ Gratitude Questionnaire by McCullough, Emmons, Tsang and the Inventory of Interpersonal Motivation in Harm Situations TRIM-18 by McCullough et al. The dependent variable of Values-Consistent Actions was measured using the Values-Consistent Actions (VQ) questionnaire by Smout, Davies, Burns and Christie. The SPSS v4.2 program was used in the analysis and mediation in R environement & Iavaan. \u0000Results. It has been demonstrated that gratitude mediates the relationship between the sense of coherence and actions consistent with values ​​- the presence of gratitude in an individual's life strengthens the relationship between the sense of coherence and values based actions. A mediating role of forgiveness in the relationship between the sense of coherence and actions consistent with values ​​was also found. The dimensions of revenge and kindness turned out to be mediators in the relationship between the sense of coherence and the dimension of obstacles to act consistently with given values, but they did not show a mediating effect in the relationship between the sense of coherence and the dimension of continuously supported actions consistent with given values. The third factor – avoidance, demonstrated none of a mediating role in any of the examined relationships; the presence of kindness strengthens the negative correlation between the sense of coherence and the obstacle dimension; however, the presence of revenge weakens this dependence. \u0000Conclusions. The results expressed an importance of gratitude in the functioning of mental mechanisms and demonstrated yet another aspect whereby the presence of gratitude had a positive impact on the individual’s responses to their life context.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"5 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138968071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Do we still need their forecasts and advice? We live in an information society. Estimates show that by 2025 global data production will increase to over 180 zettabytes. Along with the dissemination of the Internet, the development of digital communication and the reduction of digital exclusion, we are facing a serious crisis of expert culture. Over the years, it is experts who played an important role in society, today we ask where the border between professionals and specialists with specific knowledge, and experts-soremen, who gather hundreds of thousands of thousands of users in front of the screens of mobile devices in front of the screens of mobile devices in front of the screens of mobile devices. In the course of consideration of the above issues, the authors decided to develop a new expert definition based on a review of literature together with the use of the syncretic method and the original research model. The latter was successfully used in previous studies. As part of the considerations on the indicated issues, the authors focus on four key phenomena: Influencer marketing development–as a new variety of the so -called expert sector; virtual exhibitionism in the context of surveillance capitalism; functioning of the expert sector in the Bigdata era; The role of experts- futurists reaching for the models of forecasting the future. Is there still room for experts in the thicket of data? The answer to this question is the key to defining who the expert of the future will be.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"31 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the research is answering to the following question: How can we use the blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko’s example in upbringing towards the virtue of courage? The author uses the history-pedagogy biographical method. The life and activity of this martyr, cruelly murdered by the communist secret services, is duly analysed. During his whole life, Jerzy Popiełuszko demonstrated determination to follow Jesus Christ in everything, including accepting a cruel death, while at the same time gracing his oppressors with love. The author concentrates particularly on this period of his life in which he was stationed in a military unit known for its strict discipline, in Bartoszyce (1965-1967). It was then, at the age of just 19, that he already proved to be the sole embodiment of courage. The applied criteria for the virtue of such courage have been proposed by Jacek Woroniecki – a Dominican monk, philosopher, pedagogue, and one of the brightest Thomists of his time. \u0000                The result of the research are guidelines how to ensure an upbringing which guarantees the virtue of courage. The process should concentrate on the will to surmount fear in the face of danger; patience; compassion for the suffering of others; distance from both cowardice as well as insolence. The work shows that Popiełuszko perfectly fulfills Woroniecki’s criteria for courage from the Christian perspective, The author put particular emphasis on analysing the ‘scapegoat mechanism’ used by the communist secret services to torture chosen persons. The behaviour of the blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko can be an example and inspiration how to shape the virtue of courage. Jacek Woroniecki’s concept may be used to select the next courageous personal models.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Working with these people is extremely difficult, because in their axiological functioning, they often follow anti-values, have difficulty complying with social, moral, and legal norms, and are often characterized by demanding attitudes. In Poland, the term resocialization is commonly used to refer to working with prisoners or juvenile wards of correctional institutions. The present paper discusses in detail three paradigms of interventions towards people who have come into conflict with the law, or in general towards people who are not adapted to social functioning, that is, living by the moral, social, and legal norms that are used and generally accepted by society. These are classical resocialization, juridical social work, and social rehabilitation paradigms. In a given paradigm, certain forms of work will be preferred. Methodology of working with socially maladjusted, or resocialization methodology, involves the functions, principles, and methods of this work. Methods of correctional work (methods of resocialization) have a psychotechnical (individual, and at the same time psychological or psychotherapeutic), sociotechnical (working with a group or using interactions through a group), or culture-technical character (learning, e.g., at school, work, contact with culture as a recipient or creator). Various religious interactions should also be considered a culture-technical method. Not all inmates or wards of correctional facilities have a negative attitude toward religion or specialized (penitentiary, facility) prison ministry. Many of them see the value in religious interactions as helpful. Religious practices help them function socially, although to obtain given benefits, the inmates or wards may manipulate their religious commitment, which may turn out to be a sham commitment. The professional work of the author of the present paper has allowed him to conduct many years of observation among inmates in penitentiary units or among those placed in juvenile institutions of the justice department. The results of this observation provided a basis for placing religious interventions not in the paradigm of classical resocialization but in juridical social work. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"56 S68","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, his thoughts related to music contained in his philosophical works are widely known and studied. This paper, however, concentrates mainly on his homiletic speeches and speeches delivered on special occasions in which Augustine taught about the Church. In his speeches, Augustine portrayed music as an external sign of the unity and universality of the Church, which were taken care of in the ancient community. The music performed during the Church’s liturgy also became a good example for polemics with pagans and heretics. In Augustine’s opinion, music also supports eschatology well, as it pictures future events in which the worship of God through music will have no end. Many of Augustine’s thoughts referring to the Church and music have been preserved, however the work is limited to only a few of the more interesting examples. The results of the analysis can be compared with the contemporary teaching of the Church on sacred music, which emphasizes, for example, the active participation of the faithful in the liturgy, as well as internal activity–the source of these suggestions is embedded in the ancient Church and reminds us of those theses, among others, recorded in his works and preached by Saint Augustine of Hippo.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"55 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They concern symptoms (most often neurological and neuropsychiatric) lasting ≥12 weeks without another diagnosis and a predictable time of resolution. They become a diagnostic and therapeutic problem in patients with previously observed behavioral disorders, e.g. in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Most published studies on long COVID mainly focus on adults, and there is limited information on the pediatric population. There is also not much information in the available literature about long COVID in people with autism spectrum disorders. The main aim of this narrative review is to present the problem of long COVID in people with autism spectrum disorders. Method: Based on a review of the current literature based on the EBM (Evidence-Based Medicine) paradigm, the problem of long COVID in autism spectrum disorders is presented. During data collection, the PubMed search engine, which supports the MEDLINE database, and the Google Scholar search engine were used. The criteria used to search for articles are works published since 2022, available in Polish or English. Results: The pandemic has deepened behavioral disorders related to the autism spectrum disorders. The occurrence of COVID-19 and subsequent symptoms associated with long COVID was and is more common in people with ASD. Conclusions: COVID-19 has a significant impact on neuropsychiatric symptoms in people with autism spectrum disorders. Difficulties have been observed in the treatment of long COVID in patients with ASD. There is a need to increase the awareness of parents, health care workers, and scientists about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the population of people with autism spectrum disorders. This is necessary to understand the consequences of the disease, speed up diagnosis and provide appropriate specialist help.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recommendations for how to best shape these competence from early childhood have become a driving force behind the designing and implementation of various educational initiatives at schools and in non-formal educational settings. In the difficult time of the new pandemic (2020), activities aimed at developing social skills in young audiences have become particularly relevant. Even though, due to spreading restrictions, these were mostly transferred to the Internet, many cultural institutions have tried to re-establish and maintain effective relationship with their audiences. Recent years have shown how important it has become to build relationship and develop social skills in direct contact with culture, art and other people. In their research analyses, the authors of this paper have focused primarily on the programs of leisure activities addressed to children and adolescents. The research involved the analysis of the websites of selected cultural institutions (programs), educational websites (reviews) and community portals (comments), with a particular emphasis on the competition for the most development-enhancing initiative for children. Data were also obtained via interviews with program organizers. Analysis of cultural institutions’ programs show their involvement in the cultural education of children and youth.

{"title":"Responsibility of a man in the teaching of the Catholic Church","authors":"Anastazja Sorkowicz","doi":"10.34766/fetr.v56i4.1203","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34766/fetr.v56i4.1203","url":null,"abstract":"Writing this article was inspired by the words of John Paul II spoken during his third pilgrimage to Poland, which concerned parental responsibility for life, for love, for upbringing and which were reinforced with the statement that a man should be the first to undertake this responsibility. This study is aimed at presenting some selected elements of the teaching of the Catholic Church regarding the responsibility of men, as well as at considering the Church’s position on defining a man in the context of his fundamental role, which is fatherhood. The source literature of this text consists of selected documents of the Catholic Church. The available studies on the indicated subject were also analyzed. On the basis of the conducted research, it can be concluded that the teaching of the Catholic Church draws attention to the divine origin of the human and treats parenthood as an area of ​​special cooperation between the Creator and the creation. It is emphasized that human parenthood should be primarily responsible, therefore joint decisions of both spouses regarding procreation should be made freely and thoughtfully. A mature man is aware of his responsibility for building a world in accordance with the Creator’s intention, and therefore he does not agree to any form of depriving marital coexistence of the double sign: of strengthening the mutual bond and of procreation. A man’s responsibility for life is most strongly expressed through his opposition to any actions that violate human dignity in such a delicate area as procreation of life. In the context of a man’s responsibility for upbringing, it should be stated that healthy fatherhood consists in conscious, permanent building of relationships first with the wife and then with the child. A man should actively participate in the child’s life with true commitment. The education of successive generations of men requires the visible presence of a man-husband-father in the family, who does not liberate himself from his male obligations by reckless shifting them to a woman-wife-mother, but brings to the family all the features and behaviour patterns of a mature and responsible man, such as self-control, constant work on his own character and setting high requirements for himself. The undertaken issues seem particularly important from the perspective of the human being, whose one of the most important characteristics is development, permanent maturation to new challenges. Due to the unchangeable human nature, it can be said that the teaching of the Catholic Church on male responsibility remains valid despite the changing living conditions of successive generations.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"22 3‐4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138967715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The above-mentioned synthesis was interpreted specifically after the Council of Trent (1545-1563) by the demolition of the rood screens closing the Gothic choir in front of the nave of the lay faithful. The liturgical renewal with a visually open choir introduced the main altar at its culmination, obligatorily connected to the tabernacle, and additionally elevated by a retable. The article describes the interior of the Gothic choir after the Council of Trent, liturgically up to date with the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). Then, it describes the renewed image of the Gothic choir after another, modern, liturgical renewal. By specifying a new presence of the altar and tabernacle after the Second Vatican Council in the church (currently defined as the domus ecclesiae), the article elucidates the validity of the architecture of the Gothic interior when it exists in accordance with the post-conciliar regulations and serves the purpose of building the community of faith.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"54 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spouses play a very important role, as their mutual relationship affects the functioning the entire family system. Positive mental functioning, or the psychological well-being of husband and wife, can have an impact on these relationships. The aim of the study was to verify the connections between the functioning of the family and the psychological well-being of the spouses and to identify the predictors of the analyzed variables. The study included 130 married couples –  an equal number of men and women making up 65 marriage systems bringing up school-age children. The following measures were used in the study: Family Assessment Scales (SOR) by Andrzej Margasiński (2013), based on the Polish adaptation of FACES IV – Flexibility and Cohesion Evaluation Scales by David H. Olson; Caroll Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales, as adapted into Polish by Dominika Karaś and Jan Cieciuch (2017); and the Religious Commitment Inventory-10 (RCI-10-PL) by E. Worthington and colleagues, as adapted into Polish by Jarosław Polak and Damian Grabowski (2017). The analyses of the relationship between the variables shows that the more balanced and well-functioning the system is, the higher is the well-being perceived by the husband and wife. The crucial predictors of a “healthy” family include some dimensions of well-being: high self-acceptance, personal growth, and positive relations with others. Some differences in the analyzed variables between husbands and wives were also found.","PeriodicalId":331430,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Naukowy Fides et Ratio","volume":"50 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
