Abstract

Berkeley is a philosopher commonly associated with his thesis about the nonexistence of the material world. However, he would disagree with the statement that the entire world that, according to him, consists of ideas, is only in the cognizing mind. He would also disagree with the fact that perceived objects are in absolute space. The article aims to present Berkeley’s solution to the alternative mentioned above. The solution is based on the category of space presented in Berkeley’s Essasy Towards New Theory of Vision. In New Theory of Vision, Berkeley explains his position on problem of visual perception. He begins his argument by resolving the issue of the visual perception of distance, and this subjects leads him to much further matters—including the concept of relative space, grounded in the bodily experience of the cognizing subject.

Abstract

Shipowner’s insurance plays an important role in modern maritime relations. This paper deals with the issues of cargo, fuel and crew insurance. The discussed issue has not found proper reflection in maritime insurance literature, although the history of insurance in maritime transport dates back to the 18th century. The first maritime insurances covered the ship and its cargo and only then the need to introduce the insurance of civil liability for damages caused by sea navigation was noticed. The author’s aim is to draw attention to the variety and complexity of shipowner's insurance both in the subjective and personal sphere.

Abstract

Green-geo-engineering with geosynthetic reinforced soil structures is of increasing practice around the world. Poland is among the leading countries with the third biggest geogrid market in Europe. The German EBGEO 2010 Guideline for Soil Reinforcement with Geosynthetics as first European Guideline for Geosynthetics linked to the Eurocode 7, and the new design code for Japanese railway structures under seismic loading are introduced. New research results from the Geotechnical Institute of the RWTH Aachen, Germany, dealing with the soil/reinforcement interaction and new approaches for design codes for the reinforcement of base courses in traffic areas based on lab and field tests in the USA are presented.
