‘Assistance from A to Z’ as an Innovative Social Investment in Action. Evaluation of a Case Study
Authors: Wiktorska-Święcka Aldona , Moroń Dorota
Published: December 2017

The aim of the article is to present a case study of the implementation of innovative social investment in the area of social inclusion. The case study analysed, namely the project Assistance from „A” to „Z” — Professional activation of homeless people from Wroclaw Circle St. Brother Albert Aid Society, refers to the social and vocational integration of homeless people at the municipal level in Poland. The authors hypothesize that innovative social investments are key to the success of the policy of social inclusion, which requires new, innovative ideas to empower people at risk of exclusion.

The article uses the case study method and the method of desk research, in which an analysis of the strategy documents, source materials and activities was carried out. The results were subjected to critical analysis, using the achievements of research in the field of social investment, social innovation and social inclusion policy. The paper is the result of partial studies carried out within the framework of the research project Innovative Social Investment: Strengthening communities in Europe (InnoSI), financed by the EU Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020.

As a result, one has to consider the question “What works?”. The analysis showed the accompaniment method to be the most effective tool in the project’s actions and one which may be disseminated as a recommendation for social investment. The question “How?” brought evidence that the existing set of activities and their sequence (integrity and complexity) was appropriate, necessary and effective from the perspective of beneficiaries, the Wroclaw Circle St. Brother Albert Aid Society and stakeholders. Considering the question “In what circumstances?”, the key element was related to the leadership offered by the Wroclaw Circle St. Brother Albert Aid Society, which was running the implementation of the project. As a conclusion, one can formulate the cautious thesis that the outcomes can to some extent be generalized, particularly at the level of other local entities in Poland or in other countries/regions of Central and Eastern Europe, which have a similar welfare model (e.g. the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia).
Political and National Identity in Ukraine’s Regions: Where Does the Center Fit?
Authors: Pohorila Nataliia
Published: December 2017

This article is devoted to the issue of national identity and political preferences of the region of Central Ukraine. The essence of the “in-the-middle” position is tested using a national representative survey known as “Ukrainian Society” for the period of 2000–2012. This longitudinal survey allows for the delineation of tendencies of well-articulated political identities. This includes Galicia being compared to Crimea and Donbas. In this study these areas are compared to those of the Center, a region with an identity lacking thorough study. The specific trends in the development of a national identity and of political preferences are defined and compared within rural and urban populations in the analysed regions. The Center was chosen as a comparison to other Ukrainian regions as it characterizes the mobilization of political support in the formative years of Ukraine, commencing with the Orange Revolution in the fall of 2004.
The Foundations of Judicial Diffusion in China: Evidence from an Experiment
Authors: Chen Benjamin Minhao , Li Zhiyu
Published: December 2017

Chinese judicial opinions were, for a long time, not readily accessible even by the courts. But an emerging norm of judicial transparency, coupled with the technological advances of the last decade, has resulted in the accumulation of vast bodies of cases available for consultation by both the lay and the learned. These recent developments in the Chinese legal landscape allow judges to influence and be influenced by the decisions of judges sitting in other courts. This project is the first to adopt an experimental approach to evaluating the influence of prior judicial decisions on Chinese judges. We find that citation of a case out of a sister court had a substantial and statistically significant effect on judges’ interpretation of a vague, permissive, legal standard. This effect was not, however, accompanied by a reduction in the length of sentences awarded by judges. An additional study suggests that prior judicial decisions have an indistinguishable influence on judges and law students, indicating that role and environment are unlikely to be the explanation for the main result.

Authors: Piskin Altug , Aktas Himmet Emre , Topal Ahmet , Turan Onder , Baklacioglu Tolga
Published: December 2017

The purpose of this paper is to present a novel turbine balancing using Ant Colony Optimization method. Results are compared against well known optimization methods available at open literature. With the new approach, turbine blade set can be separated in to two blade sets as heavy and light blades. This approach makes possible the application of Ant Colony Optimization methodology. ACO methodology is compared with Steepest Descent and Exchange Heuristic methods using nine different initial blade placements. And results are presented. Performance of the three evaluated methods is affected by the initial blade placement. Exchange Heuristics method was quick and provided good results in most of the cases. Ant colony optimization was able find better results than the Steepest Descent method. The approach of separating blades into two sets decreased the solution time of Steepest Descent algorithm. Ant colony optimization method can be used for turbine blade assembly and balancing for aircraft gas turbine applications. This approach is used for the first time in this area and not seen at the open literature.

Published: December 2017

Phomsoupha, M and Laffaye, G. Multiple repeated-sprint ability test with four changes of direction for badminton players (part 2): predicting skill level with anthropometry, strength, shuttlecock, and displacement velocity. J Strength Cond Res 34(1): 203–211, 2020—The goal of this study was: (a) to assess general and specific lower and upper limb force, shuttlecock velocity, displacement ability, and the anthropometric characteristics of badminton players at 5 skill levels, and (b) to predict individual players' number of points. We divided 83 participants into groups of novice (n = 15), intermediate (n = 16), skilled (n = 23), highly skilled (n = 14), and elite (n = 15) players. The number of points scored for each player performing tournaments (excluding novices) during the entire season was used as a continuous and dependent variable after logarithmic transformation for correlational study. Anthropometric measurements of height, mass, percentage of fat, and muscle were recorded, along with shuttlecock maximal velocity during smashes. Upper limb power and lower limb force were recorded during jumps and handgrip strength. We also assessed players' ability to move quickly around the court through an on-court multiple repetition-sprint ability in badminton (MRSAB) test with 4 changes of direction. All variables were combined in a multiple regression model. The main findings were that the major contributor to skill level is shuttlecock velocity (r = 0.86), the time taken to move during the MRSAB test (r = 0.85) and the squat jump height (r = 0.53). Anthropometric factors contribute only a little to the individual score point (2%). Finally, the multiple regression model reveals that log(number of points) = 4.91 + 0.042 × shuttle velocity − 0.029 × MRSABTime − 0.001 × squat jump height, with r
2 = 0.86 and a relative respective contribution of each variable of 86, 13, and 1%.

Avery, M, Wattie, N, Holmes, M, and Dogra, S. Seasonal changes in functional fitness and neurocognitive assessments in youth ice-hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 32(11): 3143–3152, 2018—Deficits in balance and strength combined with differing rates of sensory and motor neural development may increase risk of sports-related injury in youth. This study evaluated changes in functional fitness and concussion status over the course of a competitive season in youth ice-hockey players, and examined the relationship between these variables and injury occurrence. Thirty-six participants (8.9 ± 1.1 years) completed preseason and postseason assessments including anthropometric measurements, the functional movement screen (FMS), Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test (YBT-LQ), and a computerized neurocognitive assessment (ImPACT). Paired-samples t-tests were used to compare preseason and postseason data. Independent samples t-tests were used to compare FMS, YBT-LQ, and ImPACT scores between injured and uninjured participants at baseline. The mean composite score of the FMS was not statistically different between preseason (15.1 ± 1.8) and postseason (15.6 ± 2.3, p < 0.16). The YBT-LQ composite score showed a decrease in reach distance scores between preseason (86.10 ± 6.00) and postseason (83.20 ± 5.40, p < 0.001). Neurocognitive assessment scores improved in both the injured and uninjured participants. There were no significant relationships between FMS scores, YBT-LQ, and injury incidence. Results from our study provide insight into changes in functional fitness levels and neurocognitive scores over the course of a season in youth ice-hockey players. These findings provide insight into expected changes over the course of a season and provide context for injury risk monitoring by coaches.

Pentecostalism, Open Economic Policy and Sinhala Buddhist nationalism in Sri Lanka
Authors: Kawashima Koji
Published: December 2017

With the introduction of the open economic policy, Sri Lanka became closely connected with the global economy bringing about considerable difficulties to its people. In addition, with the disintegration of the rural community and the dysfunction of family, traditional social and religious systems could not efficiently cope with the growing needs of Buddhists. Under these circumstances, the Pentecostal churches attracted more and more people. Moreover, open economic policy brought about an asymmetrical relationship with the West. With the rapid rise of foreign aid and NGOs, a large number of Sri Lankans came to feel that they were increasingly dependent on the decisions made outside Sri Lanka. As a result, the deep-seated fear that Sinhala Buddhists had of losing their majority status re-emerged. Some activities of Christian NGOs with rather ample foreign funds were misidentified, intentionally or unintentionally under these circumstances, with the general evangelical works of Pentecostals. A discourse of “unethical conversion” was circulated, by which the Sinhala Buddhist nationalists succeeded in inciting the mobs and gaining tacit support from the government and the masses.
Between the Private and the Public Sphere
Authors: Bachmann Judith
Published: December 2017

Since the 1980s, Pentecostalism has grown immensely in Nigeria. At the same time, witchcraft fears have intensified and stories about flying women, ritual murders and secret cults have been spread through the Nigerian media. Books allegedly written by former initiates of witchcraft are read by Pentecostals and non-Pentecostals alike. Witchcraft beliefs are cultivated in Pentecostal churches, and researchers credit much of their appeal to the fact that they take such beliefs seriously and address them publicly. This paper gives an example from the field by comparing two Pentecostal churches in urban southwestern Nigeria to discuss how and under which circumstances Pentecostals deal with witchcraft in a public or private manner. It concludes that Pentecostals appropriate global discourses when dealing with witchcraft and oscillate between the private and the public sphere in doing so.

Anurans of the Parque Estadual do Mirador, a remnant of Cerrado in the state of Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil
Authors: Andrade Etielle Barroso de , Weber Luiz Norberto , Leite José Roberto de Souza Almeida
Published: December 2017

Abstract The Cerrado is one of the most threatened biomes in Brazil. It is estimated that much of its original vegetation has been replaced by some type of human use. This is quite worrying, mainly in the northern part where the number of wildlife inventories is insufficient and creates the false impression of low diversity in the region. The Parque Estadual do Mirador-PEM, located in the south-central region of the state of Maranhão, presents vegetation typical of the Cerrado biome and corresponds to one of 46 priority areas for conservation in the state. Herein, we describe the species richness and composition of the anurofauna from the PEM and analyze the influence of different types of vegetation in its formation. Our inventory was conducted from December 2013 to February 2015, using the active search and auditory census methods on breeding sites in different water bodies of the park. We recorded 31 anuran species belonging to five families (species number in parentheses): Leptodactylidae (14), Hylidae (12), Bufonidae (3), Microhylidae (1) and Phyllomedusidae (1). The rarefaction curve and species richness estimators indicated that the sampling effort was enough to record most of the species in the region. The richness of anurans in the PEM was higher than reported by other authors for several areas of Cerrado. Most species have a wide distribution in Brazil or are strongly associated with the Caatinga or Amazon biomes. Only about 19% are endemic to the Cerrado biome. This study is the first to inventory the anurans species of the south-central region of state of Maranhão and provides important data on amphibian communities from the northern part of the Brazilian Cerrado.
The mating behavior of Leucothyreus marginaticollis Blanchard, 1843 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)
Authors: Ferreira Kleyton Rezende , Rodrigues Sérgio Roberto
Published: December 2017

Abstract In Brazil, there are several species of the genus Leucothyreus Macleay, 1819 occurring throughout the country; however, there are only a few studies describing their biological aspects, times of occurrence, associations of adults and juveniles with native or cropped plants, as well as their mating behavior. Thus, this study aimed to assess the mating behavior of Leucothyreus marginaticollis Blanchard, 1843. The study took place in an experimental area of the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, in Aquidauana, MS, Brazil. Firstly, we sampled adult insects using light traps, from October to November 2013. Simultaneously, we registered the flight period in the field. Afterward, in the laboratory, males and females were separated and then combined into couples for observations of the mating steps. A large number of the adults mated, which lasted on average 22.71 min and occurred from 7 to 11 pm. After mating, part of the males released the females and the other part remained attached to them, which must have happened as an attempt to inhibit other males from mating with them. Moreover, a few females refused to mate with the established male, reinforcing the fact that the pairing of couples occurs after chemical identification among adults. In the field, the largest amount of adults was collected from 8 to 10 pm. Regarding eating habits, adults feed mostly on acerola leaves and flowers (Malpighia emarginata DC, Malpighiaceae), mastic gum leaves (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão, Anacardiaceae), grapes (Vitis vinifera L., Vitaceae), apples (Malus domestica Borkh., Rosaceae), and bananas (Musa sp. L., Musaceae). To the end of the experiment, we could clarify the mating steps of L. marginaticollis in order to assist in further extraction and identification of sexual pheromone.
Light-Duty Vehicle Emissions Control: A Brief Introduction to the China 6 Emissions Standard
Authors: Gong Huiming , Ge Yunshan , Wang Junfang , Yin Hang
Published: December 2017

China has been the world’s largest new vehicle market since 2009 and new vehicle sales exceeded 28 million in 2016, among which more than 87% were light-duty vehicles (LDV). In order to reduce emissions and control air pollution China has recently adopted the China 6 emissions standard for LDV which is 50% more stringent than China 5. Besides strengthening the tailpipe emissions limits, China 6 changes the emissions test driving cycle to the Worldwide Harmonised Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (WLTC), adds real road emissions requirements and significantly strengthens evaporative emissions control. This paper introduces the standard development background, summarises the key technical improvements and discusses the areas for further improvements in future.
Progress and Outlook on Gasoline Vehicle Aftertreatment Systems
Authors: Joshi Ameya
Published: December 2017

Driven by concerns on deteriorating ambient air quality, measures are being taken across the world to adopt and enforce tighter vehicular emission regulations to minimise tailpipe unburned hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). In regions with advanced regulations, the focus is on limiting the pollutants under real-world or in-use driving conditions. Given the intensified effort to curb global warming and limit fossil fuel use in the transportation sector, several countries have adopted targets on tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions. This confluence of stringent regulations for both criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is leading to a rapid adoption of advanced powertrains and aftertreatment technologies. This is a review of some of these recent advances pertinent to reducing vehicular emissions and developing improved aftertreatment solutions. The scope is limited to gasoline vehicles where the adoption of gasoline direct injection (GDI) and hybrid powertrain technologies is leading to significant shifts in the aftertreatment solutions. There is significant work being done to improve diesel aftertreatment systems especially in light of real-world driving emission (RDE) regulations. These are not covered here, rather the reader is referred to a previous article in this journal’s archive (), and to a more recent review ().

Authors: Jain Sanjay , Maske Dinkar , Songra M. C.
Published: December 2017

Background: Abdominal injury is leading cause of morbidity and mortality at present due to great improvement in man's lifestyle and development of industries.Methods: A total 100 cases of abdominal trauma (both blunt and penetrating) were studied in the present study in our institute for period of 18 Months.Results: Males belonging to young age group of 21-30 were most commonly affected. Road traffic accident is most common mode of injury. Abdominal pain seen in 93% of patients. Abdominal tenderness seen in 86% of patients. Plain x ray abdomen erect was sensitive in detecting hollow viscus injuries. Diagnostic peritoneal lavage is better than four quadrant aspirations. Ultrasound examination gives a clear picture of solid organ injury and free fluid. Most common injured viscera in the present study is small bowel and they were managed by simple suturing and closure of perforation and resection and anastomosis. Postoperative complications like wound infection, wound dehiscence, respiratory complications, pelvic abscess and faecal fistula were seen. The duration of stay for most of the patients in this study was between 11-20 days with mean of 15 days. Mortality in this study was 7%. Conditions such as, female gender, long interval between injury and operation, presence of shock on admission, and small bowel injury worsen the prognosis in penetrating abdominal trauma.Conclusions: Young males are most commonly affected due to road traffic accident. Conditions such as, female gender, long interval between injury and operation, presence of shock on admission, and small bowel injury worsen the prognosis in penetrating abdominal trauma.

В совокупности это приводит к негативному воздействию мошеннических действий, складываясь в существенные потери и для компаний, и для государства. В целях обеспечения успешной работы хозяйствующие субъекты должны внедрять различные системы контроля для борьбы с корпоративным мошенничеством и его устранением.
Анализ отраслевых особенностей водного транспорта как коммерческой структуры
Authors: Виниченко Виктория Александровна
Published: December 2017

Удельный вес убыточных предприятий водного транспорта составляет около 40% от общей доли. Причин этого явления много, однако, особую окраску придает сложившийся стереотип: «транспортная отрасль заведомо убыточна и дотируется государством». В этой связи, работники сферы транспорта, трудятся с надеждой на межбюджетные трансферты, не успевая встраиваться в гиперконкурентную императивную модель мира. О транспорте в целом как о коммерческой структуре заговорили сравнительно недавно, ведь эффективность работы судоходной компании помимо рентабельности имеет очень большое количество критериев, среди которых и подвижность населения, и доступность, и преодоление транспортной дискриминации. Ключевые индикаторы достижения целей поименованы в «Транспортной стратегии Российской Федерации на период до 2030 года». С целью управления базовыми показателями, а также дальнейшего эффективного включения имеющихся ресурсов в транспортный процесс судоходных компаний в работе были проанализированы и раскрыты факторные и результативный признаки, выявлена форма связи, а также установлена зависимость между ними. По связанным факторам были составлены регрессионные модели зависимости.
Оздоровление и развитие денежных отношений в РФ с учетом применения опыта исторических подходов
Authors: Сулейманов Минкаил Джабраилоывич
Published: December 2017

Современная денежно-кредитная политика России имеет небольшой период становления и соответственно опыт достижения поставленных целей. Сложности ее реализации связаны с неразвитостью денежно-кредитных и финансовых отношений рыночного типа, а также тяжелым состоянием экономики. Значение проблем денежного обращения возрастает на переломных этапах исторического развития, о чем свидетельствует опыт современной России. Стабилизация денежных отношений является важной предпосылкой нормализации экономического положения, обеспечения на рынке и создания условий для экономического роста. Расстройство же денежных отношений ведет к подрыву рыночных механизмов, падению производства, угрозе разрушения социально-экономической системы. Именно поэтому назрела острая необходимость возврата денежным отношениям их объективной и товарной природы.

Authors: Pessoa Kenia Dias , Suarez Willian Toito , Lopes Renata Pereira , Dos Reis Marina Ferreira , Franco Mathews De Oliveira Krambeck , Dos Santos Vagner Bezerra
Published: December 2017

A análise de imagens digitais é um método analítico baseado na decomposição da imagem, cujos os valores RGB variam proporcionalmente com a concentração do analito. Para a determinação de etanol, empregou-se a reação de óxido-redução na qual o cromo (VI) é reduzido a cromo (III) ou cromo (II), sendo o etanol oxidado a aldeído acético, gerando mudança da cor amarelo-alaranjada para verde-azulada. Foi obtida uma curva analítica linear no intervalo de 10 a 70 % v/v de etanol, com coeficiente de regressão r2 = 0,991. Os limites de detecção e de quantificação foram iguais à 1,72 % v/v e 5,74 % v/v. Seis amostras de cachaça foram analisadas empregando o método proposto e um método picnométrico, e conclui-se que três delas apresentaram teor de etanol fora da faixa permitida pela legislação. O método analítico baseado em imagens digitais mostrou-se versátil, preciso, exato, de custo baixo e com baixa geração de resíduos, muito útil para análises in situ.
SEPARAÇÃO DE PROTEÍNAS DE UMA SOLUÇÃO SALINA POR MEMBRANA DE DIÁLISE DE ACETATO DE CELULOSE
Authors: Abreu Danielly Cristina Alves , Figueiredo Kátia Cecilia de Souza
Published: December 2017

Processos de separação por membranas são de grande interesse na separação de macromoléculas, como as proteínas. Nesses processos, ocorre a passagem de uma suspensão através da membrana, ocorrendo separação seletiva dos componentes sob o efeito de uma força motriz. No caso da diálise, essa força motriz é um gradiente de concentração das espécies através da membrana e o fluxo é de natureza difusiva. A diálise tem inúmeras aplicações na separação de componentes e esse trabalho apresenta um experimento didático, de fácil visualização desse fenômeno. Para tal, utilizou-se uma membrana comercial polimérica de acetato de celulose para separar proteínas de uma solução de leite em pó contendo cloreto de sódio. O monitoramento da concentração de sal e proteína na solução dialisante foi feito ao longo do tempo para avaliar a transferência de massa através da membrana. A rejeição da membrana à proteína foi de 99,81%, enquanto a concentração salina foi reduzida em 81 vezes.

Dynamika sieci społecznych osób niepełnosprawnych we współczesnym społeczeństwie polskim
Authors: Stojkow Maria , Żuchowska-Skiba Dorota
Published: December 2017

Ukazanie położenia społecznego osób niepełnosprawnych wymaga określenia ich pozycji względem reszty społeczeństwa, co powoduje konieczność porównania relacji, w których uczestniczą osoby z deficytami sprawności i ludzie sprawni. Przyjęcie takiej perspektywy umożliwia odtworzenie i uchwycenie struktury sieci społecznych osób niepełnosprawnych. Pozwala to ukazać dynamikę integracji tej kategorii społecznej oraz wskazać czynniki ją utrudniające. Pokazanie tego zjawiska staje się możliwe dzięki zastosowaniu teorii sieci poprzez odtworzenie i wielowymiarową analizę dynamicznej sieci powiązań społecznych, która ma istotne znaczenie dla ukazania stopnia marginalizacji osób niepełnosprawnych.Zasadniczym celem artykułu będzie charakterystyka sieci społecznych osób niepełnosprawnych, co pozwoli odtworzyć zachodzące w ich ramach procesy i wskazać czynniki wzmacniające marginalizację tej kategorii i utrudniające jej pełne włączenie do społeczeństwa. W tym celu posłużono się analizą danych zastanych, pochodzących z Diagnozy Społecznej z roku 2011 i 2015.
Kanoniczna koncepcja czynności prawnej. Wprowadzenie dla prawników świeckich
Authors: Skonieczny Piotr
Published: December 2017

Autor przedstawia ogólnie koncepcję kanoniczną czynności prawnej (por. kan. 124–127 CIC). Wskazuje na jej teologiczny i antropologiczny fundament (osoba i actus humanus) oraz korzenie w europejskiej tradycji prawnej. Według autora czynność kanonicznoprawna to taki czyn ludzki (actus humanus), który jest czynnością konwencjonalną (aktem formalnym) oraz wywołuje określone i chciane skutki prawne. Koncepcją kanonicznej czynności prawnej rządzą trzy zasady: personalizmu (podkreślenie osobowego charakteru), uniwersalizmu (szeroki zakres zastosowania pojęcia, również na czynności o charakterze publicznym) i trwałości (zachowania czynności prawnej).
Procedura zawarcia małżeństwa „konkordatowego” – administracyjna czy cywilna?
Authors: Tunia Anna
Published: December 2017

Procedura zawarcia małżeństwa „konkordatowego” obejmuje zespół określonych czynności, których spełnienie jest konieczne dla skutecznego zaistnienia małżeństwa na płaszczyźnie prawa polskiego oraz prawa własnego Kościoła katolickiego. W jej toku można wyróżnić kilka etapów, tj. czynności poprzedzające zawarcie małżeństwa, czynności związane z zawarciem małżeństwa i czynności związane z rejestracją małżeństwa. Przedmiotowa problematyka zawiera w sobie zarówno elementy administracyjnoprawne, jak i cywilnoprawne. Celem artykułu jest ustalenie, które z elementów procedury zawarcia małżeństwa „konkordatowego” mają charakter administracyjny, a które z nich wchodzą w zakres zainteresowania prawa cywilnego. Ponadto zwrócono uwagę na tryb uregulowania przepisów normujących procedurę zawarcia małżeństwa „konkordatowego” w kontekście recepcji norm prawnokanonicznych na płaszczyźnie wymienionych dziedzin prawa polskiego.
Rola stylu naukowego i urzędowo-kancelaryjnego na kursie przygotowującym kandydatów do podjęcia studiów w Polsce
Authors: Czempka-Wewióra Maria
Published: December 2017

Na podjęcie studiów w Polsce decydują się często obcokrajowcy, którzy nie znają języka polskiego zupełnie lub poznali go w niewielkim stopniu. Zmuszeni są więc w ciągu dwóch semestrów opanować nowy język na tyle, by w następnym roku akademickim podjąć studia na wybranym przez siebie uniwersytecie w Polsce. Podczas opracowywania programu kursu dla wymienionej grupy odbiorców i jego realizowania nie można ograniczać się do wykorzystania popularnych podręczników do nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego. Niezwykle istotnym elementem w przygotowaniu obcokrajowców do studiowania i uczestniczenia w życiu społeczności akademickiej jest opanowanie stylów naukowego i urzędowo-kancelaryjnego. Wyznaczniki owych stylów powinny być ćwiczone w sposób zintegrowany w ramach wszystkich sprawności językowych. W tym celu przyszli studenci winni analizować i opanowywać określone gatunki, wyrażać towarzyszące im funkcje językowe, umieć rozpoznawać, rozumieć i stosować wybrane struktury gramatyczne zarówno w rozumieniu ze słuchu i tekstów pisanych, jak i wypowiedzi ustnej oraz pisemnej.
O leksyce nacechowanej stylistycznie w nauczaniu Białorusinów języka polskiego
Authors: Kaleta Radosław
Published: December 2017

Artykuł dotyczy leksyki nacechowanej stylistycznie w nauczaniu języka polskiego Białorusinów. Szczególna uwaga zwracana jest na niuanse stylistyczne różniące leksemy polskie i białoruskie, które z pozoru wydają się bardzo do siebie podobne. Zebrany materiał może pomóc lektorom pracującym z Białorusinami w akcentowaniu poszczególnych kwestii stylistycznych w nauczaniu JPJO, a Białorusinom uczącym się języka polskiego – w unikaniu błędów stylistycznych.

Ucieczki do Polski żołnierzy z krajów sąsiednich w latach 1920–1939
Authors: Kasprzycki Remigiusz
Published: December 2017

W latach 1920–1939 do Polski przedostało się co najmniej kilkuset dezerterów z krajów sąsiednich. Schronienia szukali tu również żołnierze z armii węgierskiej, a nawet francuskiej. Dezerterzy uciekali do Polski prześladowani na tle narodowościowym, religijnym i politycznym. Szczególnie dotyczyło to służących w Armii Czerwonej i Wehrmachcie. Wśród uciekinierów nie brakowało żołnierzy, którzy na terenie swoich krajów dopuścili się przestępstw. Charakteryzowało to zwłaszcza żołnierzy z armii czechosłowackiej i rumuńskiej. Dezerterzy z państw obcych dopiero po wnikliwym przesłuchaniu i żmudnej weryfikacji mogli zostać zaliczeni do politycznych uchodźców, dla których poszukiwano miejsca zamieszkania i pracy. Postępowania wobec dezerterów z państw obcych zostały określone w rozporządzeniach w marcu i kwietniu 1923 r. Takie postępowanie było konieczne ze względu na bezpieczeństwo państwa. W innym przypadku pozorny dezerter szybko okazywał się szpiegiem lub dywersantem. Mimo ograniczonego zaufania do dezerterów informacje uzyskane od zbiegów były niekiedy cennym materiałem wywiadowczym. Było tak m.in. wiosną 1936 r., kiedy przesłuchanie litewskiego dezertera znacznie rozszerzyło wiedzę polskiego wywiadu o tamtejszej armii. Dezerterzy służyli również polskiej propagandzie, która szczególnie latem 1939 r. nagłaśniała przypadki ucieczek niemieckich żołnierzy do Polski. Działania takie miały na celu osłabienie morale armii niemieckiej a jednocześnie pokrzepienie własnych żołnierzy i obywateli.
Obraz jest świadectwem niewyobrażalnego. Ekspresjonizm abstrakcyjny i Zagłada (Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Frank Stella)
Authors: Jedlińska Eleonora
Published: December 2017

Wydarzenia rozgrywające się w Europie w okresie panowania ideologii faszystowskiej wywarły znaczący wpływ na malarstwo artystów amerykańskich związanych z ekspresjonizmem abstrakcyjnym. Nazwa „ekspresjonizm abstrakcyjny”, nieprecyzyjna i nieco myląca, pozostała pojęciem trwale obecnym w terminologii naukowej historii sztuki. Rozważając jednak tę sztukę z perspektywy wydarzeń, które miały miejsce w Europie między 1933 a 1945 r., posiłkując się znaczącymi tytułami prac i kontekstem ich powstania – Marka Rothko ponumerowane, szare, brunatne i czarne murale do Seagram Building na Manhattanie z końca lat pięćdziesiątych, czarne i brunatne obrazy do kaplicy w Houston powstałe w latach siedemdziesiątych, Barnetta Newmana 14 obrazów The Stations of the Cross: Lema Sabachthani, Franka Stelli minimalistyczny obraz zatytułowany Arbeit macht frei (1958), The Polish Village Series, seria 24 czarnych obrazów powstałych w młodzieńczym okresie twórczości artysty – sięgając do wypowiedzi tych artystów, ich biografii, winniśmy tę sztukę rozpatrywać jako sztukę historyczną. Trzej przedstawiciele tego nurtu, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, którym poświęcony jest niniejszy artykuł, reprezentują malarstwo pozornie pozbawione odniesień formalnych, próbują poprzez nie wyrazić niewyobrażalne, niejako zmuszając umysł do wyobrażenia sobie, czym było piekło Auschwitz.

Creativity Assessment of Primary School Children by the Tests, Teachers’ Ratings, and Self-estimates
Authors: Petrova Svetlana , Shcheblanova Elena
Published: December 2017

Development of the child’s creativity is recognized as one of the main objectives in education. Our study aimed to investigate the relations of the objective and subjective indicators of creativity with intellectual and personal variables in 240 primary school children (aged 7-8 and 9-10). We used Teachers' Checklist of children’s abilities; The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking; Group Inventory for Finding Talent; Cognitive Abilities Tests; school achievement. The results show positive correlation between the teachers' ratings of intelligence and creativity in both ages, but not between the intelligence and creativity test-scores. The teachers' creativity ratings also did not correspond to the pupils’ creativity self-estimates because the teachers mostly orientated towards intellectual abilities and work organization skills of the children. The data demonstrate the need to integrate subjective and objective information to evaluate multifaceted children’s creativity.
