Patriotyzm Polski Ludowej
(Ośrodek Myśli Politycznej, 2025-04-01) Brzechczyn, Krzysztof; Gniadek-Zieliński, Michał
Celem rozdziału jest charakterystyka oficjalnego patriotyzmu propagowanego przez władze partyjno-państwowe Polski Ludowej, rekonstrukcja jego podstawowych motywów i wątków oraz identyfikacja jego funkcji ideologicznych w systemie władzy. W tym celu zamierzam odpowiedzieć na dwa powiązane ze sobą pytania badawcze. Mianowicie, czy treść socjalistycznego patriotyzmu ulegała zmianie na przestrzeni historii PRL-u? Pozytywna odpowiedź na to pytania prowokuje do zadania dwóch następnych pytań: jakie były mechanizmy tych zmian oraz w jaki sposób wpływały one na zawartość treściową socjalistycznego patriotyzmu. W tym celu w rozdziale przyjmuję określone rozumienie patriotyzmu, ustroju Polski Ludowej (1944-1989) i ideologii w PRL-owskim systemie politycznym.

Should Philosophers Govern the European Union? An Attempt at an Answer from a Central European Perspective
(Ośrodek Myśli Politycznej, 2025-12-01) Brzechczyn, Krzysztof; Krasnodębski, Zdzisław
To answer the question posed in this way, an author first answers what philosophy, the European Union, Central Europe are and what role philosophy could play in the European Union.

Poznań School of Methodology: Institutional History - Research Program - Main Achievements
(Springer, 2026-01-03) Brzechczyn, Krzysztof; Marciniak, Arkadiusz; Pawleta, Michał; Rączkowski, Włodzimierz
The chapter presents the main achievements of the Poznań School of Methodology against the background of the postwar history of Polish philosophy. In its first part, the history of Polish philosophy in the twentieth century is outlined. In the second part, the institutional history of the Poznań School is sketched, and its main sources of inspiration and determinants of the School’s research program are identified. In the third part the main scientific achievements of Jerzy Kmita, Leszek Nowak and Jerzy Topolski—three major advocates of the School—are presented.

Reconstructing Late-Holocene relative sea level using mangrove sediments in Singapore
(Sage Journals, 2025-12-28) Tan, Wan Jie Christabel; Cahill, Niamh; Shaw, Timothy A.; Tan, Fangyi; Chua, Stephen; Dommain, René; Majewski, Jędrzej Marcin; Li, Tanghua; Nathan, Yudhishthra; Ng, Trina; Nisha Mohamed Ramdzan, Khairun; Meltzner, Aron Jeffrey; Horton, Benjamin P.
Mangrove sediments have served as valuable archives of Late-Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change. However, challenges such as age uncertainties due to root penetration and bioturbation, as well as elevation uncertainties from surveying, indicative meaning, and sediment compaction remain. Here, we reconstructed Late-Holocene RSL from Singapore using a multi-proxy approach combining litho- (grain size and loss on ignition), bio- (pollen), and chrono-stratigraphical (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry radiocarbon dating) techniques to produce a series of sea-level index points (SLIPs). We surveyed the SLIPs to mean tide level, quantified the indicative meaning from the contemporary mangrove environment and minimised compaction by producing mostly basal SLIPs. We developed nine SLIPs and assessed RSL change using the Error-In-Variables Integrated Gaussian Process (EIV-IGP) model. We compared the RSL reconstructions with Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) models and a database of SLIPs from the East Coast of the Malay–Thai Peninsula. Our results show that RSL gradually decreased from 0.33 ± 0.75 m to −0.07 ± 0.17 m between ~4000 cal. yrs. BP and ~500 cal. yrs. BP. The EIV-IGP model suggests RSL likely (66% probability) went below present-day levels between ~900 cal. yrs. BP and ~500 cal. yrs. BP, aligning with regional RSL reconstructions but differing from GIA model predictions. Potential drivers of the Late-Holocene RSL fall and subsequent rise to present include global ice-sheet expansion, regional ocean-atmosphere interactions and the subsidence of Sundaland. Future research should refine far-field RSL reconstructions to determine the extent and drivers of Late-Holocene RSL lowstands.
