    Challenges facing valuers in valuation of art and artifacts in Ogun State Nigeria
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Ibisola, Abayomi Solomon; Folarin, Abiola Aishat; Atilola, Moses Idowu
    Contrary to the perception that estate surveyors and valuers are only concerned with the valuation of lands and buildings, their scope of work included art and artifact valuation. The valuation of art and artifacts can pose serious difficulties to a young valuer, as experienced valuers can establish expertise in the arts area. This study examines the possible challenges in the valuation of art and artifacts. Structured questionnaires were administered on 17 estate surveying and valuation firms in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The data was analyzed using the Relative Important Index. The results revealed that the valuation of art and artifacts requires more specialized knowledge and practical skills than what is required for valuing lands and buildings. The results further show that valuers are confronted with the challenges of a lack of information and inadequate access to past transaction records. This study recommends that, beyond the valuation of lands and buildings taught in schools, training on art and artifacts should also be incorporated in a curriculum and as well as professional training from time to time.

    Rzeczy użytkowe i kwestia ekstensjonizmu zobowiązań etycznych – wybrane problemy
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Hoły-Łuczaj, Magdalena
    The article aims to provide a framework for extending ethical obligations toward artifacts (usable things). The first part presents the current debate on both metaphysical and ethical status of artifacts. The second one, drawing upon reism of Tadeusz Kotarbinski, portrays artifacts as concretes, with a focus on the possibility of their damage and destruction. The main part of the article is the analysis of ethical dilemmas related to (1) use of artifacts, (2) their production, (3) purchase and sale, and 4) the post-use period.
