The article “«Christian yoga»? A few reflections on the Jesus’ Prayer and hesychasm” is a kind of commentary on the Polish translation of the article “Becoming what we pray...” by Michel Plekon that is presented in the same issue of periodical “Kultury Wschodniosłowiańskie — oblicza i dialog”. Author tried to remind the most important facts and figures connected with the history of the Jesus’ Prayer and hesychasm. Moreover, there are described controversies concerning the physical method that was used by some hesychasts during practice of the Jesus’ Prayer. Additionally, one can readabout the role of the heart in Orthodox theology and prayer tradition of Eastern Church. This role can not be overtaxed because from the point of view of Orthodox theology, the heart is the centre of human being, person. It is not only the physical organ, not only the area of emotions and affections but also the space of intelligence, thoughts and wisdom. But most of all, the heart is the place of mysterious meeting of God and man. In the secret hall of human heart a man can fell silent presence of Transcendence, can fellthe real epiphany of God who unceasingly waits for metamorphosis of human being’smentality, thinking, reason, activity, emotions, relations, who waits for transformation of the whole man.
This publication presents the test results of heavy metals and metalloids leachability from ground composite materials. The components of the obtained composites are peat and stabilizing binders in the form of fly ash and hydrated lime. The composites were designed to be used to stabilize low-bearing organic soil in the Lake Druzno basin in the area of Żuławy Elbląskie. The results of the leachability studies show that as the lime hydrated in the composition of the composite increases, the leachability of heavy metals and metalloids decreases. The decrease in the leachability of these elements is also influenced by the increase in the pH value. The results of heavy metals and metalloids leachability from composites as well as the obtained pH values make it possible to conclude that they are neutral to the ground environment and can be used in engineering practice under specific conditions in the area of Żuławy Elbląskie.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
