Lubin - Opis, Położenie, Historia Lubin - opis, położenie, historia Lubin to miasto i gmina w południowo-zachod- niej Polsce, w województwie dolnośląskim, siedziba powiatu lubińskiego, nad rzeką Zimnicą. Powstanie Lubina i jego historia nie są do końca znane, ale dotychczasowe badania datują założenie miasta na rok 1170, a budowniczym miał być Bolesław Wysoki. Osada powstała na przecięciu się ważnych szlaków kupieckich, w związku z czym była zapewne miejscem odpoczynku wędrujących kupców. Jej nazwa pochodzi od staropolskiego imienia Luba. Według legendy, młodzieniec od tym imieniu miał wyzwolić tutejszych mieszkańców ze strachu, jaki rzucał na nich ogromny i niebezpieczny niedźwiedź. 23 VI 1310 roku w Głogowie 10 miast śląskich podpisuje umowę o zwal- czaniu bandytyzmu na drogach. W imieniu Lubina występują : Henryk - wójt dziedziczny i Apeczko - rajca miejski. W 1312 roku powstaje dokument podziałowy księstwa głogowskiego wymienia „Castrum Lubyn”. Biskup Wrocławski poleca krzyżowcom od Św. Ducha wybudować w Lubinie szpital. W latach II wojny światowej (1939-1945) powstaje w okolicach Lubina duża baza hitlerowskiego lotnictwa. Przemysł lubiński pracuje na rzecz zaopatrzenia armii. W powiecie powstają liczne podobozy jenieckie i skupiska ludności kierowanej do przymusowej pracy w rolnictwie i przemyśle. Przeważają w ich liczbie Polacy. Szerzą się represje, prześladowania i egzekucje. Lubin jest związany z przemysłem wydobywczym i przetwórczym rudy miedzi, której najbogatsze złoża w Europie znajdują się właśnie pod tym miastem. W związku z tym Lubin jest znany jako prężnie rozwijająca się stolica polskiej miedzi. Dodatkowo w lubińskich kopalniach należących do KGHM Polska Miedź SA wydobywa się również w sporych ilościach srebro. Sektor wydobywczy, choć rozbudowany tutaj do ogromnych rozmiarów, nie jest jedyną działalnością gospodarczą w tym rejonie. Lubin jest miastem, w którym narodziła się telefonia „Dialog”. Miasto posiada również lotnisko międzynarodowe dla małych samolotów. http://www.mapofpoland.pl/Lubin,opis.html Szanowni Wystawcy, Sędziowie, Goście, Asystenci kynologiczni, Droga publiczności!

We are often fascinated with other people and even fascinated with ourselves, and why shouldn’t we be? After all, within each human skull lies the human brain, which neuroscientist Christof Koch calls the most complex object in the known universe (Flatow 2013). With our brain we can strive to know the world around us, or as astronomer Carl Sagan put it, “We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself.” The field of anthropology trains the lens not on the outward universe but on ourselves. In doing do, anthropologists endeavor to suspend judgment, cultural assumptions, and beliefs about what is normal, and to view ourselves with fresh eyes. Anthropology is not just about one aspect of humanity, such as our economic systems, political organization, religion, or biology.

In fact, anthropology is a broad discipline that covers all of human history, all the peoples of the world today, all the languages, all the technology, and the biology of humans.

  • Title: Re-Conceiving Nonhuman Animal Knowledge Through Contemporary Primate Cognitive Studies
    Title: Re-conceiving nonhuman animal knowledge through contemporary primate cognitive studies. Author: Andrew Fenton, PhD Affiliation: Novel Tech Ethics, Department of Bioethics, Dalhousie University. Address: Novel Tech Ethics, 1234 Le Marchant Street, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada, B3H 3P7. Email: [email protected]. Abstract In this paper I examine two claims that support the thesis that chimpanzees are substantive epistemic subjects. First, I defend the claim that chimpanzees are evidence gatherers (broadly construed to include the capacity to gather and use evidence). In the course of showing that this claim is probably true I will also show that, in being evidence gatherers, chimpanzees engage in a recognizable epistemic activity. Second, I defend the claim that chimpanzees achieve a degree of epistemic success while engaging in epistemic activity. Typically humans qualify as substantive epistemic subjects. Again, typically, knowledge plays an integral role in intentional human behaviour. As a consequence of defending the claims that chimpanzees are evidence gatherers and achieve a degree of epistemic success while engaging in such epistemic activities, I will also have shown how knowledge plays an integral role in intentional chimpanzee behaviour. The importance of these arguments does not wholly reside in the significance of knowledge explaining some chimpanzee behaviour. Treatments of animal knowledge in the literature tend to go in one of two directions: either the treatment embraces reliabilism and so construes animal knowledge as reliably produced true beliefs (or, if not beliefs, the relevant analogue for non-linguistic animals), or it embraces an anthropocentric stance that treats animals as knowers only when they find themselves behaving in circumstances that, were it true of humans, would imply the presence of causally efficacious knowledge.

Against the background of humanities writing about animal agency, this article examines primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa’s work with his ‘research partner’, the chimpanzee Ai, and her conspecifics at the Kyoto University Primate Research Institute and in an outdoor laboratory in Guinea from 1976 to 2016. This latest chapter in the history of Japanese primat- ology describes an attempt at synthesizing benchwork and fieldwork. It examines how what both humans and chimpanzees can do varies across a whole spectrum of scientific practices, bridging the gap between controlled experiments and field observations. While some recent animal studies literature has presented laboratory animals as deprived of agency and thereby implicitly attributed agency to creatures of the wild, this historical and ethnographic account does not take the analytic category of agency for granted, but examines how Japanese primat- ologists think about the ways in which chimpanzees interact with each other, with humans and with their environment.

  • Colour Matters More Than Shape for Chimpanzees' Recognition Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Colour matters more than shape for chimpanzees’ recognition of developmental face changes Yuri Kawaguchi1,2*, Koyo Nakamura2,3,4 & Masaki Tomonaga1 Social primates must recognise developmental stages of other conspecifcs in order to behave appropriately. Infant faces have peculiar morphological characteristics—relatively large eyes, a small nose, and small mouth—known as baby schema. In addition, the infant faces of many primate species have unique skin coloration. However, it is unclear which features serve as critical cues for chimpanzees to recognise developmental changes in their faces. The present study aimed to investigate the relative contributions of facial shape and colour to age categorisation in chimpanzees. We used a symbolic matching-to-sample task in which chimpanzees were trained to discriminate between adult and infant faces. Then, we tested how their age category judgments transferred to a series of morphed faces which systematically difered in facial shape and colour. Statistical image quantifcation analysis revealed signifcant diferences both in shape and colour between adult and infant faces. However, we found that facial coloration contributed to age categorisation in chimpanzees more than facial shape. Our results showed that chimpanzees use unique infantile facial coloration as a salient cue when discriminating between adult and infant faces. The display of their developmental stages through facial colour may help chimpanzees to induce appropriate behaviour from other individuals. Faces are a rich source of biological and social information such as age, identity, gender, emotional states, impres- sions and so on in humans1,2. Te ability to extract various information from faces plays a critical role in a wide range of social and emotional interactions.

Chimpanzee Personhood Supporting Scientific Documentation compiled by Jonathan Balcombe, PhD March 2012 Background The aim of this document is to provide scientific support for granting chimpanzees and bonobos the legal status of persons. The studies summarized here have been selected because they show these species to have levels of awareness, cognition, emotionality and virtue that rivals that of their hominid cousins, Homo sapiens. Chimps, like other great apes, have long-term relationships, grieve the loss of a loved-one, can solve complex puzzles, display a sense of justice, and can learn hundreds of signs and put them together in logical sentences. Chimpanzees and bonobos (pygmy chimpanzees) are our closest living relatives, and we (not gorillas or orangutans) are theirs. Our genomes are over 98% identical. In 2003, a group of scientists proposed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that chimpanzees should be included in the genus Homo (Wildman et al. 2003). In most parts of the world, it is still legal to torture and murder chimps.
