This book presents empirical research uncovering the views and experiences of Polish judges regarding the utilization of empathy in their work. Although there is growing interest in the role of empathy in judicial decision-making, there is little research on how judges themselves approach this issue. This volume offers an alternative to the usual focus on common law jurisdictions. It adopts a perspective that underscores the impact of professional pressures on judges' empathic abilities, leading to a form of "empathy labor" influenced by the unique characteristics of the judicial profession. It offers an in-depth examination of judges' opinions, collected through an empirical study involving in-depth interviews. The narrative delves into real cases and judicial behaviors discussed by judges, providing reference to relevant literature from other jurisdictions. The core finding of the study reveals that while judges may differ in their approaches to empathy in a judicial context, many of their practices and strategies can be linked to empathy-like phenomena. The findings also substantiate the claim that empathy used by judges is not the same as judicial empathy, which covers empathic abilities integrated into performing the judicial role. This applied theoretical perspective of "empathy labor" offers an intriguing view of how the occupational context influences judges' empathic inclinations throughout their careers. In addition to demonstrating how judges understand the role of empathy in their work, the book outlines a scenario for empathy training based on their experiences and expectations. Presenting an original approach to studying the role of empathy in judicial decision making, the book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of philosophy of law, legal theory, sociology of law, psychology of law, and emotions studies.

This paper examines the emerging phenomenon of algorithmic colonialism and its implications for Indigenous data sovereignty in Cameroon. Through critical analysis of case studies across Cameroon's diverse ethno-linguistic communities, we demonstrate how contemporary data extraction practices perpetuate colonial power dynamics by appropriating, commodifying, and misrepresenting Indigenous knowledge systems. The research employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with Indigenous knowledge keepers (n=32), computational analysis of algorithmic systems operating in Cameroon, and participatory action research within affected communities in the Northwest, West, Southwest, and East regions. Findings reveal systematic patterns of epistemological violence enacted through algorithmic systems that fail to recognize Cameroonian Indigenous data governance frameworks. We propose a decolonial framework for algorithmic justice that centers Cameroonian Indigenous data sovereignty principles while offering practical guidelines for ethical engagement with Indigenous data. This framework contributes to broader discussions on digital ethics by prioritizing relational accountability, contextual integrity, and cultural sustainability in technological development within the Cameroonian context.

Historical gender studies in Germany is facing major structural and substantive challenges. Based on interviews and essays, the contributors discuss the complex current and future tasks of the discipline. They discuss scientific and higher education policy issues, reflect on theoretical concepts and develop new approaches for practice with the help of case studies. From antiquity to queer contemporary history, the result is a plea for networking within gender history, but also beyond disciplinary boundaries.

2025, El Conflicto de las Incapacidades

El tema de la mediocridad aparece como motivo recurrente y engorroso en las conversaciones de académicos. Sin embargo, no parece ser un tema que se confronta en el espacio escrito. Este ensayo fue en su momento u intento fallido de generar un debate y a la vez una introspección sobre el tema. El escrito solo tiene al final un propósito, pensar las consecuencias de nuestra practica contemporánea de la libertad. El estilo, del cual ya se toma distancia, aun arrastra los resabios de la ideologie crititique, pero con las premisas y conclusiones generales del mismo, seguimos convencidos.

Resumen: El objetivo de este texto es analizar la figura mitológica de Heracles en uno de los discursos pronunciados por Dion de Prusa en la época del exilio, el Diógenes o Sobre la virtud (Or. VIII). En este discurso Dion realiza una reinterpretación del héroe tradicional desde coordenadas típicamente cínicas, confrontando la imagen de Heracles como símbolo de la virtud y el esfuerzo contra otros personajes mitológicos, como Circe, Diomedes o Busiris, convertidos por Dion en símbolos del placer, la molicie y el vicio. Esta influencia y recepción del cinismo en la Oratio VIII será analizada partiendo del contexto en el que fue pronunciado, para posteriormente estudiar la importancia del esfuerzo en la figura de Heracles como emblema de la virtud y, así, comprender a sus oponentes como representantes éticos negativos dentro del ejercicio moralizante de Dion.

Urechia a lăsat mereu să se înțeleagă faptul că a studiat temeinic la Paris, de unde s-ar fi întors chiar cu gradul de licențiat în litere. Lucru care l-a propulsat imediat în elita intelectuală și i-a netezit destinul, deschizând larg porțile unei cariere de excepție. Pornind de la resurse arhivistice aflate cu precădere la Paris, dar și în țară, Leonidas Rados abordează în acest studiu chestiunea examenelor susținute de V.A.

2025, Travellers in Ottoman Lands II: The Balkans, Anatolia and Beyond

The period of reforms in the later years of the Ottoman Empire and the arrival of the Austro-Hungarian administration have left remarkable traces in the field of culture and art in Bosnia and Herzegovina, resulting in a complex encounter between two cultural and civilisational circles, alafranga and alaturca. The illustrated magazine Nada was launched and published in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1895 to 1903, as a medium for promoting a pro-Bosnian political concept and programme of Finance Minister Benjamin Kállay, and gathered numerous collaborators, writers, translators and visual artists with an unhidden and ambitious goal to illustrate rapid cultural development and progress. The magazine had a detailed breakdown of planned contents and thematic sections. Along with illustrations by Ewald Arndt Tscheplin, Leo Arndt, Maximilian Liebenwein, Ludwig Kuba, Ivana Kobilca, Ferdinand Velc and other painters, Nada magazine offered excerpts from numerous travelogues that conveyed vivid images of Bosnian daily life, with insights into the culture of housing and clothing, but also subjective views of Bosnia and its inhabitants. Illustrated foreign travelogues are the most important source for imagological analysis of notions, prejudices, explicit and implicit views on Bosnia They range from the perception of Bosnia as a 'dark vilayet'-part of a decadent East located on European soil-to its description as an idealised fairytale land, a jewel of the world, in a Romantic idiom. This chapter will focus on the travelogue written by Heinrich Renner Durch Bosnien und die Hercegowina Kreuz und Quer, Berlin, 1896 (translated as: Bosnom i Hercegovinom uzduž i poprijeko, Sarajevo, 2007), which was illustrated by the two most important Nada illustrators, brothers Ewalt Arndt Tscheplin and Leo Arndt, in order to examine how representations of Bosnia were formulated in accordance with the chosen media-whether it was an artistic or textual representation-and how the imagological models of the 'Other' were formulated in pictures and words.

2025, Bangladesh Historical Studies

Linguistic and cultural domination is a powerful mechanism of control, and its analysis is essential to understanding the long-term effects of colonialism. Under British colonial rule, the imposition of English as the language of power and the introduction of Western culture marginalized the pride of Bengali language and culture, creating a class divide and fostering a sense of inferiority among the colonized. The Pakistan era further exacerbated these challenges, with efforts to impose Urdu sparking widespread resistance and culminating in the historic Language Movement of 1952. Despite systemic suppression, the resilience of the Bengali people in preserving their cultural identity manifested itself through intellectual, artistic, and grassroots efforts. By analyzing policies imposed by these ruling authorities, the research highlights the marginalization of the Bengali language and culture. It will also emphasize the social and cultural consequences of domination.

This essay introduces our call for an intertwined history-of-emotions/history-ofscience perspective. We argue that the history of science can greatly extend the history of emotions by proffering science qua science as a new resource for the study of emotions. We present and read science, in its multiple diversities and locations, and in its variegated activities, products, theories, and emotions, as constitutive of the norms, experiences, expressions, and regimes of emotions. Reciprocally, we call for a new reading of science in terms of emotions as an analytical category. Assuming emotions are intelligible and culturally learned, we extend the notion of emotion to include a nonintentional and noncausal "emotional style," which is inscribed into (and can reciprocally be generated by) technologies, disease entities, laboratory models, and scientific texts. Ultimately, we argue that emotional styles interrelate with broader emotional cultures and thus can contribute to and/or challenge grand historical narratives. Descartes would have been more nearly right in saying, "I feel, therefore I am." -Ralph W. Gerard, 1941 1 Over the past two or three decades, the study of emotions has revolutionized our conceptions of human nature. What we now call the "Emotional Turn" challenged earlier scientific understandings of humans-our brains, our bodies, and the laws that govern their functions within and between individuals-and of society as a whole. Research on emotions has contributed to the invention of new scientific techniques and instruments, to the development of new ways of seeing and making visible, to the reorganization of the hierarchy of disciplines in science, as well as to the public visibility of and political interest in science. This turn to emotions is now visible in the neurosciences, economics, sociology, anthropology, criminology, philosophy, and literary and media studies. 2 In history, the

2025, RYBIENIK, Gaëlle (dir.), L’Alsace en images. La collection François Lotz s’expose. Bernardswiller, I.D. l’Édition, 2024

Cette image populaire d'amour produite à Obermodern est un bouquet d'amoureux. À la fois don et souvenir dans la tradition profane régionale, elle permet à un homme de manifester son attrait pour une femme. La pièce est ensuite conservée par sa destinataire, voire exposée sur les murs de son foyer. L'oeuvre ne comprend pas ici les nom et prénom de la bien-aimée, l'image resta-t-elle dans le fonds d'atelier ? Le bouquet déploie trois types de fleurs dont les couleurs peuvent se référer à l'amour, l'espoir et la fidélité. Se basant sur une soixantaine de pièces, François Lotz tente d'établir une chronologie de production basée sur les motifs représentés 1 . Le coeur dominerait entre les XVIII e et XIX e siècles, remplacé par les bouquets au milieu du XIX e siècle. Le bouquet apparaît également peint sur les textes de mariage et les livres d'amitié de la fin des XVIII e et XIX e siècles mais aussi sur le mobilier, les céramiques de table et les bois peints d'Alsace du Nord 2 . Les imagiers-peintres ruraux se copient entre eux et produisent en série, aussi se retrouvent fréquemment les mêmes motifs iconographiques. L'artiste Jean Schultz est issu d'une famille d'imagiers-peintres, artistes semi-professionnels peignant pour augmenter leurs ressources. Jean Schultz était agriculteur, son père André musicien, son fils Georges photographe. Les imagiers alsaciens sont anonymes avant de signer leurs oeuvres à partir de 1830. Une cinquantaine d'images de Jean Schultz est référencée au total 3 . Son traitement floral aux coloris vifs se retrouve dans ses souvenirs funéraires tandis que certains souhaits de baptême protestants non signés lui sont attribués, notamment ceux témoignant de cérémonies rendues à l'église de Schillersdorf. Le souhait de baptême étant rangé dans les papiers administratifs ou la bible familiale, peut-être ne les signa-t-il pas sans cette perspective d'exposition publique ? Au sein de ses quatre répertoires sur les artistes-peintres alsaciens, François Lotz recense identiquement les imagiers-peintres et les peintres ayant bénéficié d'une formation académique.

2025, In Memory of Tibor Frank. FOCUS: PAPERS IN ENGLISH LITERARY AND CULTURAL STUDIES : 2022 pp. 99-101. , 3 p.

Humboldt Prize-winning historian Tibor Frank, professor emeritus of Eötvös Loránd University, full member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and corresponding fellow of the Royal Historical Society in London, passed away on 15 September 2022, at the age of 74. Tibor Frank's work enriched both Hungarian and universal (mainly English and American, German and Austrian) history. This is partly due to the fact that he was a trilingual author who, in addition to Hungarian, wrote equally well in English and German. With his multilingualism, he significantly contributed to the cause of making Hungarian history known abroad, in which area – as is widely known – our shortcomings are painfully apparent. His life's work shows a particular coherence, not only because the various materials he worked with are connected to each other by a hundred threads, but also because his interpretation seems to come together in one grand narrative. After all, Tibor Frank usually talked about Hungarian history in a way that also helped to clarify the place of Hungarians in the world. On the other hand, we can also say that while looking out at the world, he never lost sight of the history and destiny of Hungarians.

Veliki broj sačuvanih epigrafičkih posvetnih natpisa u kojima se spominju hrvatski ranosrednjovjekovni vladari već je odavno uočen fenomen koji je uvelike doprinio boljem i preciznijem stilskom razvrstavanju predromaničke skulpture na istočnoj obali Jadrana, a unutar toga i okupljanju i preciznijoj dataciji pojedinih morfoloških grupa predromaničkih reljefa. Od vremena održavanja izložbe Hrvati i Karolinzi (2000. – 2001.) otkrivena su ili recentno prepoznata još tri posvetna natpisa s kojih su, s velikom dozom sigurnosti, iščitana imenâ dvojice hrvatskih vladara iz 9. stoljeća – Mislava i Branimira.Great number of preserved epigraphic votive inscriptions bearing mention of early medieval Croatian rulers is a phenomenon noticed long time ago which contributed significantly to better and more precise stylistic classification of pre-Romanesque sculpture on the eastern Adriatic coast, its further subclassification and more precise dating of certain morphological groups of pre-Romanesque...

A finales del siglo XVIII la población de distintas ciudades y villas de la Gobernación chilena estuvo bajo el riesgo de contagio de viruela. Ante ello, las autoridades locales, de las ciudades de Talca y San Fernando, determinaron tomar una serie de medidas de carácter preventiva, sugeridas en la Disertación del médico español Francisco Gil, la que fue difundida, a partir de 1785, en todos los territorios que integraron la Monarquía Hispana, por orden de la Corona con miras a disminuir el contagio de viruela entre sus súbditos. Con todo, y pese a los avances de los saberes médicos expuestos allí, lo cierto es que su aplicación estuvo tensionada por la superposición de los saberes médicos tradicionales, populares y religiosos, que denotan hasta qué punto los distintos grupos sociales hicieron eco de lo recomendado, develando los intersticios que se provocaron al tiempo tomar decisiones y llevarlas a cabo entre el Protomedicato y los acuerdos de los vecinos y autoridades locales.

“I want to emphasize that human society moves ahead through clash and cohesion. It moves ahead through ideological unity and disunity, through ideological clash. It has moved ahead, it is moving ahead, and it will move ahead,” explains Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. “To stop this movement means destruction, a great destruction – hence we have to advance with great speed. When the speed of this advancement gets slowed down, people will face trouble at every step.” (excerpt 43) This article is a selection of quotations from various discourses of P. R. Sarkar where he explains biological and social evolutionary processes in terms of clash and cohesion. Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921-1990), also known as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, was a spiritual master and guru in the tradition of Shiva and Krishna, and founded the international socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (“the Path of Bliss”).

Riktat yrkesmässigt fiske efter gädda förekommer endast i liten utsträckning. Gädda är också en svårfångad art i de passiva redskap som dominerar insjöfisket. I den mån gädda fångas så är det främst på våren och i viss mån på hösten som bifångst i bottensatta gösnät och bottengarn. Fångsterna sker främst i Vänern, Mälaren och Hjälmaren. Totalt sett har fångsterna av gädda minskat något under de senaste tio åren i de största sjöarna. De minskade fångsterna antas i viss mån bero på en minskad fiskeansträngning. Anledningen till att det fiskas mindre efter gädda är troligtvis minskad efterfrågan. Årsfångsten av gädda i Vänern har minskat från 120 ton 1974 och 1975 till knappt 43 ton år 2013. Svenska yrkesfiskares huvudsakliga landningar i ton per Ices-ruta eller sjö av gädda 2014. En Ices-ruta är cirka 56 km*56 km stor.

Αncestral-Traditional Cults of the Macedonians Dr Kalliopi G. Chatzinikolaou Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki The minting of Macedonia includes types with the ancestral-traditional gods of the Macedonians (Zeus, Heracles, Apollo) and a horseman, usually on the reverse type, even before the Hellenistic period. It is the reverberation of the dynastic cults where the traditional Olympian pantheon holds a special place. The numerous material remains that are associated with the form and substance of Zeus prove that he is the most important worshipped deity in Macedonia. A large number of votive and funerary monuments, statues and artifacts of a decorative nature also affirms the significance of the cult of Heracles. The rich and wide subject of Heracles poses the question about how he became the ancestor of the Dorian kings, as well as many other dynasties that followed, including the Macedonian dynasty. His special effect on society since he became the racial ancestor of the Macedonians incorporated him into their ancestral tradition due to political reasons. At the same time and in combination with the abovementioned, we examine the matter of the cult of the hero horseman or the heroes with the attribute of the horseman, which will lead to the peak of this phenomenon and the depiction of this particular iconographic type on votive and funerary reliefs during the Roman period. From the first half of the 5th century BC until the late Imperial period the Macedonian minting, in combination with the types of gods, such as Zeus or Heracles, proves the significance of the theme of the horseman in Macedonia, an area where horse breeding and the use of horses in the army were quite common. The origins of the cults of heroes in Macedonia are traced back to the depiction of the horsemen of the reigning Macedonian class. This will lead to the wide spread of the cult of the hero horseman with the numerous votive reliefs of local heroes and the even more numerous funerary reliefs of the heroized dead on the iconographic type of the hero horseman that is commonly used throughout the Roman period. We attempt a presentation and a discussion of the abovementioned issues, such as the detection of the reasons for these choices and their combination during the formation of the religious character of Macedonia from the death of Philip II onwards thus including the period of the Antigonids.

Um blekkinguna og lausnina í Íslenzkum aðli Í viðtalsbókinni Í kompaníi við allífið segist Þórbergur vera "eins sannfaerður um líf eftir dauðann eins og lífið fyrir dauðann". 1 Þetta eigi ekkert skylt við trú, heldur séu þetta "niðurstöður af reynslu manna, fraeðilegum lestri og miklum umþenkingum". 2 Ef einhver myndi hins vegar geta sýnt honum fram á að þessar heimildir vaeru ósannar eða sönnuðu ekkert, myndi hann ganga frá þessari sannfaeringu sinni. Það segir Þórbergur að sé munurinn á trú og skoðun: "Trúmaður gengur aldrei frá sannfaeringu sinni. Það skiptir engu máli, þó að haegt sé að sanna honum, að það, sem hann trúir á, sé endaleysa." 3 Þórbergur segist byggja á rökum spíritisma og indversku heimspekinnar og guðspekinnar og ýmsu fleiru. Lýsing Þórbergs á lífsskoðunum sínum er mjög í anda þeirra hugmynda sem einkenna starfsemi og skrif þeirra hreyfinga sem kenndar hafa verið við nútímadulspeki (e. modern estoricism).

Le concept de « rapport affectif à la ville » tel qu'il est défini et expérimenté dans cet ouvrage prend comme point de départ l'individu, sa relation intime avec l'espace habité. Si l'on s'intéresse aux valeurs positives ou négatives associées à la ville, un autre point de départ est celui de l'imaginaire collectif, celui des idéologies, des systèmes de croyances, de symboles, de mythes, de valeurs et de signes qui constituent une représentation sociale au sens durkheimien 1 . L'hypothèse à l'origine de la réflexion que nous proposons sur la « ville malaimée » est que dans la relation qu'un individu tisse avec la ville, les deux dimensions, intime et collective, interagissent, la deuxième étant le plus souvent sous-estimée. Notre ambition dans cet article n'est pas d'affronter la difficile question du passage des représentations collectives aux représentations individuelles et réciproquement mais de montrer l'intérêt d'approfondir l'entrée par les représentations idéelles de la ville que nous privilégions pour mettre en dialogue deux manières distinctes d'aborder la même question théorique : comment conceptualiser le passage entre l'idéel, l'affectif et le réel, entre l'imaginaire urbain et les pratiques collectives et individuelles ? En effet, dans la mesure où ces représentations ont une puissance d'effectivité avérée sur la sphère de l'action politique et de la recherche 2 , en approfondir les valeurs 1 « Mais les états de la conscience collective sont d'une autre nature que les états de la conscience individuelle ; ce sont des représentations d'une autre sorte. […] En effet ce que les représentations collectives traduisent c'est la façon dont le groupe se pense dans ses rapports avec les objets qui l'affectent. », Durkheim Émile, Les règles de la méthode sociologique, Paris, Presses universitaires de France, 1937, p. XVII. 2 Salomon Cavin Joëlle, Marchand Bernard (dir.), Antiurbain. Origines et conséquences de l'urbaphobie, Lausanne, Presses polytechniques et universitaires romandes, 2010. c h a p i t r e 5 2 pourrait favoriser l'identification de leur effet -moins perceptible et analysable -sur les sociétés et les individus. Il nous apparaît que ce type d'approche peut contribuer à clarifier le rapport entre ville aimable et ville durable, le poids de l'idéologie du développement durable sur le rapport affectif à la ville, et les modes d'habiter qui constituent un des objectifs de l'ouvrage. Notre entrée privilégiée dans les représentations sociales de l'urbain est le désamour de la ville 3 qui avait été esquissé dans l'analyse des représentations du rural et de la montée de la représentation de l'anti-ville à partir des années 1970 en France 4 . À l'intérieur de l'appellation générique de « la ville mal-aimée », nous nous intéressons à la sphère collective des idéologies antiurbaines en laissant provisoirement de côté la sphère individuelle du désamour de la ville. Ces sphères, loin de se superposer l'une à l'autre, s'interpénètrent. Les idéologies antiurbaines, synonymes d'urbaphobie ou d'antiurbain pour coller au concept anglosaxon de anti-urbanism 5 , peuvent vraisemblablement influencer la valeur que chaque individu accorde à la ville 6 , mais elles appartiennent à un imaginaire commun, indépendant et englobant pour ainsi dire l'expérience individuelle. Le désamour qu'éprouve un individu pour la ville et/ ou une ville est un complexe mélange entre événements biographiques et imaginaire collectif, mais sans que, pour ce dernier, aient été approfondis la part et les sens de l'idéologie antiurbaine.

The history of social life in Ioannina from the last years of the Ottoman Empire to the beginnings of the Second World War follows the military-political developments and is largely shaped by the changes and transformations that took place during this period in all aspects of private and public life. The recreation centers, clubs, theatres, cinemas, the anniversaries and religious celebrations, the festivals, "teas" and ballrooms, the lectures and cultural events are considered as manifestations of sociality in the historical context of the period in question.
The transition from a multi-ethnic empire to a national state had as its main consequence the disconnection of the region from important centers of influence and from societies with which it showed cultural cohesion and continuity. Also, the departure of most of the Muslim population, as well as a significant part of the Jewish population, resulted in a change in the cultural identity and character of the city, a process that was reinforced by the arrival of the refugees from Asia Minor, as well as people from other regions of Greece.
The main concern of the bourgeois -initially- class of Ioannina, as early as the Ottoman period, was cultural -but also more broadly- Europeanization. However, the social conditions and business activity of the next period will allow for its gradual realisation. The formation of the middle class, which took place quite rapidly under the new establishment, brought the demand for Europeanisation back to the fore and contributed to its wider acceptance.
The older, indigenous forms of entertainment and socialising were not eliminated, but they were transformed and redefined in the following period. Additionally, the cultural ferments that took place in the area throughout the investigated period left their traces through music and folk tradition, which remains, to a large extent, alive to this day.

The objective of the research was to determine the average of flow rapidity, flow rate of water, cross-sectional area of the river, as well as electricity energy potential of Tabang River, located in Nating, Sawitto Village, Buangin District, Enrekang. Sawitto Village, Buangin District has a mountainous topography and has many great potential energy sources for electricity generator. By considering the resources potential for electrical generator, it needs one study about flow potential of river water that can be used for electricity power and planning of electricity generator system to make the production of electricity energy maximum. Based on the result of data analysis, it found that electricity Energy potential of Tabang River flow was 2,07 MW. Then, the generator eficiency was 2029,805 KW or 2,02 MW, and the turbine eficiency was 93% and the turbine energy output was 1926,243 KW or 1,92 MW.

A year ago, the South African Cabinet approved the National Policy of the Digitiza tion of Arts, Culture, and Heritage. With a focus on digitizing the country's heritage resources for preservation, access, and management of ownership, this act is emblematic of a broader trend conflating digitization of Africa's cultural heritage collections with decolonization. Yet, by examining how one of the continent's oldest museums documented its ethnographic collections, this article demonstrates how normalized colonial knowledge systems still are, and why decolo nization requires more than making collections digitally available. Cognizant of this challenge is Amagugu Ethu, a South African notforprofit organization, whose work developing a digital MuseuminaBox I analyze in the second part of my article as an important way of resisting and interrupting colonial knowledge production in (South) Africa's museums.
