Healthworlds, Cultural Health Toolkits, and Choice: How Acculturation Affects Patients’ Views of Prescription Drugs and Prescription Drug Advertising
Authors: Adams Crystal , Harder Brittany M. , Chatterjee Anwesa , Hayes Mathias Liza
Published: February 2019

How do minorities differ from Whites in their interactions with the broader consumeristic health culture in the United States? We explore this question by investigating the role that acculturation plays in minority and White patients’ views of prescription drugs and the direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription drugs. Drawing on data from six race-based focus groups, we find that patients’ views of prescription drugs affect their responses to DTCA. While both minorities and Whites value the information they receive from DTCA, level of acculturation predicts how minorities use the information they receive from DTCA. Less acculturated minorities have healthworlds and cultural health toolkits that are not narrowly focused on prescription drugs. This results in skepticism on the part of less acculturated minorities toward pharmaceuticals as treatment options. In this article, we argue that researchers must consider the role acculturation plays in explaining patients’ health dispositions and their consumeristic health orientations.
Weighing the Effects of Vertical Integration Versus Market Concentration on Hospital Quality
Authors: Short Marah Noel , Ho Vivian
Published: February 2019

Provider organizations are increasing in complexity, as hospitals acquire physician practices and physician organizations grow in size. At the same time, hospitals are merging with each other to improve bargaining power with insurers. We analyze 29 quality measures reported to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Hospital Compare database for 2008 to 2015 to test whether vertical integration between hospitals and physicians or increases in hospital market concentration influence patient outcomes. Vertical integration has a limited effect on a small subset of quality measures. Yet increased market concentration is strongly associated with reduced quality across all 10 patient satisfaction measures at the 95% confidence level ( p < .05) and 6 of the 10 patient satisfaction measures remain statistically significant with a Bonferroni corrected p value ( p < .005). Regulators should continue to focus scrutiny on proposed hospital mergers, take steps to maintain competition, and reduce counterproductive barriers to entry.
Drawing into being: The trap as a diagram for ecological exchange between art and anthropology
Authors: Spriggs Hermione
Published: February 2019

This article aims to further Alfred Gell’s assertion (‘Vogel’s net: Traps as artworks and artworks as traps’, Journal of Material Culture, 1996) that traps be considered as functional artworks and vice versa, and builds on this foundation for an even bolder approach to practical exchange between art and anthropology. The trap is explored as a particular kind of technology that enables analytical play between species perspectives and disciplines which might at first appear to be ontologically distinct from one another, but are in fact recursively shaped and shape one another. Particular emphasis is placed on the ‘craftiness’ of animal traps as adaptable structures with a playful (if combative) propensity, by way of parallel examples of artistic forms and engagements that are ‘tricky’ in relation to existing norms of consumption and production – or even in regards to the label of Art itself.

Gell’s initial comparison is used as a means by which traps and artworks might bear more integrally upon one another to suggest not only certain structural similarities (as Gell suggested), but further co-generative potential for new frames of anthropological engagement and more-than-human artistic production. The trap emerges as a ‘diagram of practice’ that enables visual art to locate itself in an ecologically recursive relationship with a given environment. Just as Gell suggested, the trap takes art beyond existing art-historical frameworks and aesthetic conventions. As a method for anthropology, trapping suggests an experimental approach to fieldwork that adopts unconventional media from a given context to playfully draw from its more-than-human object of study. It is for both art and anthropology alike to conjure up the question – like a well-set trap – what is it like to ‘be’ and draw into being that which one is not?
Presidential speeches and the online politics of belonging: Affective-discursive positions toward refugees in Finland and Estonia
Authors: Ojala Markus , Kaasik-Krogerus Sigrid , Pantti Mervi
Published: February 2019

The so-called ‘refugee crisis’ has added urgency to the social dynamics of inclusion and exclusion in European societies. This study explores how emotions figure in this politics of belonging by studying their discursive mobilization in Finnish and Estonian public debates on asylum seekers. Focusing on presidential speeches addressing the refugee issue, on the one hand, and their reception by online commenters on popular tabloid news sites, on the other, the comparative analysis highlights both similarities and differences in how emotional expressions are employed in these two countries with very different experiences of taking refugees. Despite employing common discursive elements in their speeches, the diverging national contexts prompted the two presidents to emphasize contrasting emotional positions: the insecure Finn, threatened by abusive asylum seekers, and the compassionate Estonian, capable of identifying with the plight of refugees. In contrast, the reactions to speeches by Finnish and Estonian citizens on tabloid news sites demonstrated highly converging emotional positions. Online comments in both countries revealed deep anger and distrust of political elites among tabloid news audiences, articulating a complex relationship with the nation as a divided and exclusive political community.
Variation in delegation size in multilateral diplomacy
Authors: Onderco Michal
Published: February 2019

Why do some countries send big delegations to multilateral negotiations, whereas others send very small ones? This article looks at both the causes of variation in state delegations to multilateral conferences but also at the consequences of such variation at both micro- and macro-level. It tests the arguments derived from liberal theory of international regimes, using the case of the NPT Review Process. The results suggest that economic and security interests drive states’ participation in the multilateral settings; normative concerns about global public goods matter less. The article also argues that while countries which are more abundantly present in the negotiations do not tend to get more from international organisations; countries which have been less present during the negotiations tended to be more interested in alternative forum shopping in the form of ‘nuclear ban treaty’ negotiations.
Structure behavior of concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls under fire
Authors: Wei Fangfang , Zheng Zejun , Yu Jun , Wang Yongquan
Published: February 2019

Concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls with shear studs, one type of steel–concrete–steel walls, are recently developed and have been used in high-rise buildings, for which fire safety is a big concern. In order to investigate the fire endurance of this new type of concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls, three specimens with different axial compression ratios and different lengths and intervals of shear studs were tested under one-side ISO-834 standard fire to obtain the temperature distribution, deformation, and detailed failure modes. Each specimen consisted of a concrete filled double-steel-plate composite wall-body and two boundary columns. Moreover, finite-element-based numerical investigations were conducted to confirm and extend experimental findings. All the concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls failed in compression–flexure mode with the local buckling at the compressive steel plate. The results indicate that the fire endurance of concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls is significantly affected by the axial compression ratio, the eccentricity of the axial load, and the bond strength between shear studs and concrete. Axial compression ratio, defined as the ratio of axial compression to the nominal compressive capacity of concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls, has both positive and negative effects on the fire endurance of concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls. The axial load eccentricity toward the unexposed side is much more detrimental to the fire endurance of concrete filled double-steel-plate composite walls than the one toward the exposed side. In engineering practice, it is recommended that proper intervals (not greater than 300 mm) and lengths (not less than 40 mm) of the shear studs should be used to ensure the bond between concrete and steel plates.
Experimental seismic response of a column-and-tie wooden structure
Authors: Xue Jianyang , Xu Dan , Qi Liangjie
Published: February 2019

A half-scale model of a two-story and two-span column-and-tie wooden structure was fabricated and tested on the shaking table to assess the seismic behavior of the structure under various base input intensities. The dynamic characteristics, acceleration response, displacement response and shear force distributions were measured and assessed. Besides, the cumulative hysteretic energy dissipation performance of the model was analyzed. The test results revealed that with the increasing magnitude of earthquake excitation, the natural frequency and stiffness of the model structure decreased, and the damping ratio increased. The acceleration amplification factor of each layer fluctuated between 0.286 and 1.383. The wooden house is directly placed on the concrete slab, which to some extent plays a role in sliding isolation. The model dissipates seismic energy mainly by the first layer. When the earthquake excitation was 0.22 g and 0.40 g, the model responded seriously, and the maximum inter-story drifts of the model was 1/65 and 1/35, respectively. When the earthquake input reached 0.5 g, the structure did not collapse. This demonstrates that the wooden structure has strong capability of lateral resistance and deformation resistance. Furthermore, the wooden wallboard component acts as the first seismic line under earthquake excitation, meeting the characteristics of “A wall falls down, while the house will not collapse.” This article can help guide the seismic design and performance assessment of traditional wooden constructions.
Incorporating irregular nonlinear waves in simulation of dropped cylindrical objects
Authors: Xiang Gong , Guedes Soares C.
Published: February 2019

This study investigates the use of second-order irregular waves for estimating loads on dropped objects. The theory for the irregular nonlinear wave model is integrated into a motion prediction model to simulate the falling process of a dropped cylinder under irregular waves. Through frequency analysis, the simulated irregular waves are transformed into wave spectrum by fast Fourier transform and compared with the target wave spectrum. A good agreement between simulated wave spectrum and target wave spectrum indicates the validity of the irregular nonlinear wave model. The effects of cylinder mass density, wave amplitude and initial wave phase on the trajectory and terminal conditions of dropped cylindrical object are systematically investigated, and the simulated results are compared with those induced by regular waves.
Using Artistic Expression as a Teaching Strategy for Social Justice: Examining Music From the Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter Movements
Authors: Bohonos Jeremy W. , Otchere Kimberly D. , Pak Yoon
Published: February 2019

The Problem

Members of organizations often struggle to grasp the importance of social movements and to understand the affective dimensions of the injustices that inspire them to be organized.

The Solution

We argued that combining artistic expression with social movement learning (SML) in human resource development (HRD) can help members of the dominant culture to better empathize with those who experience marginalization. This will help organizations to better relate to social movements and to more effectively address related injustices.

The Stakeholders

HRD scholars and practitioners as well as those engaged in social movements.
School Nurses on the Front Lines of Medicine: Emergencies Associated With Sport and Physical Activities: Part 1
Authors: Brigham Elizabeth , Brady Jodi , Olympia Robert P.
Published: February 2019

Illness and injury associated with sport and physical activities may occur in the school setting. Although most sport-related illness and injury in students are considered minor emergencies, life- and limb-threatening illnesses or injuries may occur, such as sudden cardiac arrest, heat stroke, status asthmaticus, catastrophic brain or cervical spine injuries, hypoglycemia, blunt chest/abdominal injuries, or extremity fractures requiring surgery. It is important for the school nurse to recognize potential life- and limb-threatening emergencies associated with sport and physical activity, to initiate stabilization of the student with life- and limb-threatening symptoms, and to triage these students to an appropriate level of care (back to the classroom, home with their guardian with follow up at their primary healthcare provider’s office, or directly to the closest emergency department via emergency medical services). This article describes the initial assessment and management of three common emergencies associated with sport and physical activities.
The Limping Child: Could It Be Lyme Arthritis? Information and Planning for School Nurses
Authors: Laudenslager Tanya , Hartung Sheila Q.
Published: February 2019

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States with Lyme arthritis becoming one of the most common symptoms of Lyme disease. It is imperative that school nurses become familiar with vector-borne disease and promptly consider Lyme arthritis to be contemplated as a differential diagnosis of a child presenting to the office with a limp and joint pain and swelling with no history of acute injury. The following article will discuss the overview, implications and management of Lyme arthritis in the school setting and includes a relevant IHP for school nurses to utilize in practice.

Published: February 2019

Tissue engineering is a promising approach for bone regeneration; yet challenges remain that limit successful translation to patients. It is necessary to understand how real-world manufacturing processes will affect the constituent cells and biomaterials that are needed to create engineered bone. Bioactive phosphate glasses processed into microspheres are an attractive platform for expanding bone-forming cells and also for driving their osteogenic differentiation and maturation. The aim of this study was to assess whether Ti-doped phosphate glass microspheres could support osteoblastic cell responses in dynamic cell culture environments. Dynamic culture conditions were achieved using microwell studies under orbital agitation. Dimensionless parameters such as the Froude number were used to inform the choice of agitation speeds, and the impact on cell proliferation and microunit formation was quantified. We found that phosphate glass microspheres doped with titanium dioxide at both 5 and 7 mol% provided a suitable biomaterial platform for effective culture of MG63 osteoblastic cells and was not cytotoxic. Dynamic culture conditions supported expansion of MG63 cells and both 150 and 300 rpm orbital shake resulted in higher cell yield than static cultures at the end of the culture (day 13). The Froude number analysis provided insight into how the microunit size could be manipulated to enable an appropriate agitation speed to be used, while ensuring buoyancy of the microunits. These small-scale experiments and analyses provide understanding of the impact of fluid flow on cell expansion that will have increasing importance when scaling up to process technologies that can deliver clinical quantities of cell-microsphere units. Such knowledge will enable future engineering of living bone-like material using processing systems such as bioreactors that use mixing and agitation for nutrient transfer, therefore introducing cells to dynamic culture conditions.
Hydrofluoric acid treatment of titanium surfaces enhances the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts

Published: February 2019

The attachment of implants relies on bone and soft tissue biocompatibility. The aim of this article is to investigate the effect of fluoride-modified metallic titanium (Ti) surfaces (Ti-F) on proliferation and differentiation of human gingival fibroblasts. Human gingival fibroblast cells were exposed to hydrofluoric acid–modified Ti coins (Ti-F) for 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days, and untreated coins were used as controls. A five- to six-fold increase in the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts on Ti-F compared to Ti surfaces was observed. Enhanced gene expression of interleukin-6 and osteoprotegerin was found at 7 days. Increased levels of sclerostin, interleukin-6 and osteoprotegerin in the media from human gingival fibroblasts cultured on Ti-F coins were found compared to controls. Our results confirm that hydrofluoric acid–modified surface may indirectly enhance the firm attachment of implant surface to junction epithelium, soft tissue epithelium, which would give protection for underlying osseous structures making osseointegration of the dental implant possible.
Case report on intravenous octreotide for the treatment of intraoperative vasoplegia following thymoma resection
Authors: Williams Wendell H , Browne Rosheem C , Bui Thao P , Holmes A Alex , Thakar Dilip
Published: February 2019

Octreotide is a somatostatin analog known for its role in the treatment of acute variceal bleeding, enterocutaneous fistula and carcinoid syndrome. The reduction of portal pressure from splanchnic vasoconstriction has been attributed to the inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis, guanylate cyclase and release of glucagon. Octreotide has many therapeutic applications as a result of the ubiquitous nature of somatostatin receptors throughout the body. The effects of octreotide on vascular tone make it potentially useful in the treatment of intraoperative vasoplegia, hypotension with low systemic vascular resistance with preserved cardiac output that is refractory to adrenergic agonists. We present a case in which a patient undergoing thymoma resection developed vasoplegia that was effectively treated with octreotide. We believe that this case illustrates the need for further investigation on the potential efficacy of octreotide as an adjunct for the treatment of vasoplegia and other forms of shock.
Why Is Sexualization Dehumanizing? The Effects of Posture Suggestiveness and Revealing Clothing on Dehumanization
Authors: Bernard Philippe , Wollast Robin
Published: February 2019

Research has shown that sexualized people are perceived as possessing fewer traits of a human being. Most scholars have argued that these effects are driven by revealing clothing, with targets wearing swimsuits or lingerie being perceived as possessing less mind and less humanness in comparison with nonsexualized targets. However, revealing clothing in these studies was often confounded with other sexualizing factors, such as posture suggestiveness, and, so, the aspects which lead people to perceive women in object-like ways remain unclear. This article begins to fill this gap by examining the role of two key sexualizing factors, namely revealing clothing and posture suggestiveness, on objectification-related traits. After exposure to a picture of a woman, 223 participants were asked to indicate the extent to which this woman possessed warmth, competence, and morality. For competence and warmth, we found an interaction between revealing clothing and posture suggestiveness: Posture suggestiveness caused less attribution of warmth and competence to women wearing revealing clothing, but not for women wearing less revealing clothing. For morality, we found that women in suggestive (vs. nonsuggestive) postures were perceived as possessing less morality, regardless of the type of clothing. The implications of these findings for the field are discussed.
Attention Bias Modification in Remitted Depression Is Associated With Increased Interest and Leads to Reduced Adverse Impact of Anxiety Symptoms and Negative Cognition
Authors: Kraft Brage , Jonassen Rune , Heeren Alexandre , Harmer Catherine , Stiles Tore , Landrø Nils Inge
Published: February 2019

Using a computational network approach, we reanalyzed data from a randomized controlled trial of attention bias modification (ABM) tasks on residual depression symptoms. The main aim was to characterize the symptom-to-symptom changes following ABM. ABM was associated with improvements in interest, which was in turn associated with improvements in other depression symptoms. Although there were no changes in the global network strength following ABM, the comparison with symptom change in the ABM and control group suggests that ABM leads to a reduction of the association between anxiety, depressed mood, and guilt. Findings suggest that reduction in depression symptoms following ABM may have been set in motion by increased interest and involvement in everyday activities, leading to a reduction of the adverse impact of anxiety and negative cognition. ABM may be more effective in patients in whom these symptoms are prominent.
Taking Responsibility inDesire and Domestic Fiction
Authors: Ablow Rachel
Published: February 2019

Nancy Armstrong famously identifies middle-class white Victorian women writers not just as passive victims of ideology but as possessors of relative privilege in relation to power. Even more radically, she identifies herself as possessing analogous forms of power as a woman writer and a feminist critic.
Against the Bildungsroman
Authors: Duncan Ian
Published: February 2019

Trained on the history of the novel in English, Nancy Armstrong’s Desire and Domestic Fiction also illuminates continental European developments. Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship, the prototype of the nineteenth-century “novel of development” (bildungsroman), forms itself against domestic fiction and its core principle, that, in Armstrong’s words, “the modern individual was first and foremost a woman.” Goethe’s novel elects a male protagonist as the universal subject of a modern developmental logic of human nature and articulates his progress on a succession of sacrificial stages occupied by the story’s women. In a militant response, Germaine de Staël’s Corinne refeminizes the novelistic protagonist, investing the role with the developmental imperative of Bildung and the claim on universal human representativeness, realized through the heroine’s artistic vocation. Corinne, however, falls into a conventional love story and is sacrificed to a marriage plot, which here and elsewhere Staël identifies with the distinctively English genre of domestic fiction. Refusing to naturalize the arrangements analyzed in Desire and Domestic Fiction from its position outside the English tradition, Corinne shows that the hegemony of domestic realism was neither absolute nor inevitable.
Social, Sexual, and Other Contracts in Eighteenth-Century Novels
Authors: Lynch Deidre
Published: February 2019

This essay highlights the role that Enlightenment conjectural histories and liberal concepts of contractual exchange play in Nancy Armstrong’s revisionist description of the rise of the novel. It urges scholars of the novel to follow the example of Desire and Domestic Fiction and remember more often the eighteenth-century narrative experiments that unfolded when liberalism was still new. Eliza Haywood’s novel of amorous (and sapphic) intrigue The British Recluse (1722) suggests one reason to do that remembering. To see how Haywood uses the figure of the contract—very differently from Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen—is to better apprehend how in the early eighteenth century the marriage plot’s ideal of heterosexual complementarity had not yet become the only game in town.
tRNA deamination by ADAT requires substrate-specific recognition mechanisms and can be inhibited by tRFs

Adenosine deaminase acting on transfer RNA (ADAT) is an essential eukaryotic enzyme that catalyzes the deamination of adenosine to inosine at the first position of tRNA anticodons. Mammalian ADATs modify eight different tRNAs, having increased their substrate range from a bacterial ancestor that likely deaminated exclusively tRNAArg. Here we investigate the recognition mechanisms of tRNAArg and tRNAAla by human ADAT to shed light on the process of substrate expansion that took place during the evolution of the enzyme. We show that tRNA recognition by human ADAT does not depend on conserved identity elements, but on the overall structural features of tRNA. We find that ancestral-like interactions are conserved for tRNAArg, while eukaryote-specific substrates use alternative mechanisms. These recognition studies show that human ADAT can be inhibited by tRNA fragments in vitro, including naturally occurring fragments involved in important regulatory pathways.
Rudragaṇikās: Courtesans in Śiva’s Temple? Some Hitherto Neglected Sanskrit Sources
Authors: Goodall Dominic
Published: February 2019

Much ink has been spilt on the status and rôles of the Devadāsī in pre- modern times, but some Sanskrit works that contain potentially useful nuggets of information have until now, for various reasons, been neglected. To cite one instance, some scholars have drawn passages about dancers from an edition of what purports to be a Śaiva scripture called the Kāmikāgama. In 1990 however, Hélène Brunner denounced that ‘scripture’, as a late-19th-century forgery concocted for the purpose of winning a legal case, and thereby called into question the value of the text as evidence for much of what it had to say about, for instance, the initiation of dancers in pre-modern times. Meanwhile, hiding, so to speak, in plain view, passages from a rather older Kāmikāgama, one that has been published by the South Indian Archaka Association and that appears to survive in many South Indian manuscripts, actually also contain information about the status of Rudragaṇikās in medieval times. But these seem not to have been examined to date by historians of dance and dancers. The purpose of this paper is to draw into the debate some hitherto unnoticed passages of relevance that are to be found in pre-modern Sanskrit texts.

Published: February 2019

Chernelytsia by the Dniester. The Development of a Medieval Grod Into a TownThe article explores the early history and gradual modernisation of Chernelytsia – a town of Pokkuttya region. The first settlement in this region was noted on a high triangular cape on the right bank of the Dniester. Initially, it was a modestly fortified settlement located on the border of the Kievan state. However, after its incorporation into the Galicia Rostislav state and subsequently into Galicia–Volhynia Romanovich state, the settlement developed into a tri-part fortified grod of 5 ha in area. The author hypothesises that the grod ceased to be active between the 2nd half of the 16th century and the 1st half of the 17th century, after it had fallen prey to the Tatars who had raided Pokkuttya. Another period in the history of Chernelytsia is marked by the emergence of a new settlement at the area of today’s town’s centre. The emergence is dated at the 1st half of the 15th century. Initially, both the new settlement and the old grod were active, however, soon after being granted a municipal charter, the new settlement took the lead in social and economic activity. The town structure ossified in the 17th century when the bastion castle was built, as well as the St Archangel Michael Church and a Dominican monastery. Also, three tserkov churches were active in Chernelytsia at that time. The market square emerged, the town hall and a synagogue were built, and suburbs became discernible. The town plan changed only at the end of the 18th century when the new era in town’s history started.

The Targowiska Parish Chronicle of the World War I PeriodIn The Targowiska Parish Chronicle the local parish priest, Rev. Mateusz Sos, gives an account of all that he thought was worth noting down in a given year; all that happened in the parish, the neighbourhood, the diocese and in the world. What the reader finds in the Chronicle are such issues as: the pastoral duties during the marching of troops through town, the ups and downs of celebrating liturgy, destruction of church property and peasants’ farms, visits to the parish (especially of priests), locals’ attitude and response to particular events, important documents (e.g. announcements issued by military, religious, and civil authorities), requisitions, plunders (mainly by the fighting parties), arsons, murders, epidemics. The author gives a detailed account of the relations with Russian authorities, particularly with the tsar’s army officers stationed in the presbytery, and with the Cossacks. For the purposes of this paper, records from 1914-1918 have been quoted.

Starveling’s Gong. A Humorous Portrayal of the Intellectual Atmosphere and Customs of the Natural Medicine Centre of Dr Apolinary Tarnawski in KosowStarveling’s Gong is a unique copy of a satirical piece  in the form of a typewritten journal edited by the patients of the Natural Medicine Centre of Dr Apolinary Tarnawski in Kosow in Pokkuttya. The Natural Medicine Centre was located on the territory of the former Stanisławow Voivodeship (currently Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine). The centre , active in 1893-1939, was one of backbone of Polish cultural life in the Borderlands. As a popular holiday destination for the intelligentsia, it became an ideal platform for stimulating literary and artistic creativity. The preserved text was created by prominent writers, poets and artists, such as: Kazimierz Wierzyński, Wit Tarnawski, Stefan Norblin, Alina Kwiecińska, Wiktor Podoski, Wojciech Zaleski or prof. Ignacy Chrzanowski, who all stayed in Kosow for treatment in the summer of 1937. From the edited manuscript provides a vivid image of the Polish intellectual activity in the 1930s. In addition, the text brings us closer to fuller knowledge about what entertainment the elite provided themselves during the stay in health resorts. The retrieved manuscript undoubtedly inspires further research into the intellectual contribution and cultural achievements of the medical centre in Kosow for the development of the native culture.

From Mościska to Jugów. Testimonies of Józefa Wójcik and Maria Kocur, repatriates from the Eastern Polish BorderlandsThe history of the inhabitants of the former Polish Eastern Borderlands is an interesting research topic, especially when connected to everyday life issues. Oral testimonies are important historical sources which help explore the subject better. This paper presents transcriptions of two conversations with sisters Józefa Wójcik (born in 1930) and Maria Kocór  (born in 1928). Both of them were born and spent their prime years around Mościska near Lviv, and after World War II were re-settled to Jugów in Lower Silesia. The interviews were conducted in 2014 as part of a research project in the field of oral history entitled “Everyday life of inhabitants of the Owl Mountains in 1945-1970”.

Qualities of the Orthographic System and Presentation Peculiarities of Phonetic and Semantic Value of the Lexemes of Semitic Origin in the "Russian Bible" (resp. "Бивлиꙗ рꙋска") by Francysk SkarynaThe article newly actualizes the problem of peculiarities in the presentation of the phonetic and semantic value of lexemes of Semitic origin in "Russian Bible" by F. Skorina from Polatsk ("Бивлия руска выложена докторомъ Францискомъ Скориною из славнаго града Полоцька" [Prague: Typography of Francisk Skorina, y. 1517–1519]). An analysis of the named structural complexes of theses lexemes not only opens an opportunity for identification of mistakes in the translated text, but also determines the scope of Skorina’s knowledge in the field of original realities of the Semitic culture. On the basis of linguistic research into the phonetic and semantic value of lexemes of Semitic origin in Skorina’s "Russian Bible", the following conclusions can be drawn:1. the fricative consonant -в- (resp. -v-) in the lexeme Бi-в-лиꙗ might have resulted from a contamination of homonyms: Middle-Lat. biblia ‘machinae bellicae jaculatoriae’ and Lat. (or Middle-Lat.) Biblia ‛Bible’, with the provisions of the prototype of the homonyms Gk. (Middle-Gk.) αἳ βίϐλοι ‘ballistic machines’ (with the minuscule ϐ ) ↔ Gk. (Middle-Gk.) τὰ βιβλία ‛Jewish sacred books; Old Testament; Bible; finished paper work; New Testament’ taken into account;2. Lat. (Middle-Lat.) biblia ‘machinae bellicae jaculatoriae’ / Gk. (Middle-Gk.) αἳ βίϐλοι ‘ballistic machines’ presupposes the reconstruction of a hypothetical sememe *‘God’s will – a weapon of the Almighty’ ← ‘Bible’;3. Old Hebrew and Aramaic fragments used by F. Skorina in the exordiums of his Russian Bible (Бивлиꙗ рꙋска) are to be regarded as illustrative elements but not as arguments on the basis of which Skorina could be elevated to the rank of connoisseur of Semitic languages.

Bolesław Erzepki as an Editor of the Old Polish Lexicographical Works, on the Example of Przyczynki do średniowiecznego słownictwa polskiego cz. 1 (1908)Glosses recorded in an incunable 78d from the the Cathedral Library in Gniezno, containing the Latin-German dictionary called Vocabularius Ex Quo are important sources in research on the Old Polish lexis and the beginnings of Polish lexicography. It was abundantly quoted in the Etymological Dictionary of A. Brückner and the Old Polish Dictionary through the edition of these glosses published in 1908 by Bolesław Erzepki in the article Przyczynki do średniowiecznego słownictwa polskiego. 1. Glosy polskie wpisane do łacińsko-niemieckiego słownika (Vocabularius Ex Quo) drukowanego w roku 1490. The edition contains neither the description of the source document, nor the publisher’s introduction. So far his work has not been verified for its completeness and correctness. By comparing the published language material with digital photographs of the incunabule and analysing Erzepki’s handwritten notes stored in the Raczyński Library in Poznań, the author of this paper reconstructed the editor’s set of publishing principles and checked the accuracy of their observance. The edition shows great knowledge and diligence of Erzepki, but it does not fully reflect the complexity and diversity of the incunabule’s glossing. The examples of publisher’s errors and inconsistencies provided in this paper indicate the need to re-issuing the Polish vocabulary he discovered.

Functions of Upper-Case Letters in an Old Polish Manuscript. Karta RogawskiegoThe use of capital letters in Old Polish manuscripts is an unexplored subject. The present article is an analysis of the function of capital letters in Karta Rogawskiego (‘Rogawski’s Card’), a fifteenth-century Polish-language manuscript. Despite the small size of the monument (175 lines), it contains 70 upper-case letters, used consciously and consistently. In this respect, the text is unique compared to other mediaeval monuments in Polish. In Karta Rogawskiego, upper-case letters perform two functions. One is the rhetoric-syntactic function, i.e. they segment the text, introduce additional comments, start integrals which describe the activities of other characters and, above all, they introduce utterances of individual characters, separating the citation from the introduction. The other role of upper-case letters is the stylistic-semantic function, when they are used at the beginning of proper names. In the case of important words, it can be seen that their use is conscious and consistent; e.g. the word cesarz ‘emperor’ is always spelt with an upper-case letter when it refers to a specific person, and with a lower-case one when it only means a function. In addition, upper-case letters appear in the same places in the text, i.e. at the beginnings of titles and chapters.
O dwukropku w dawnym piśmiennictwie użytkowym (na przykładzie traktatów stawiarskich Olbrychta Strumieńskiego i Stanisława Strojnowskiego)

On the Use of Colon in Old Utalitarian Literature (Using the Example of Olbrycht Strumieński and Stanisław Strojnowski’s Treatises on Ponds)The aim of this paper is to present a description of the appearance of the colon with respect to its lexical and syntactic surroundings. Following the example of the authors of prescriptive works on punctuation, attention has been paid to both right- and left-hand context in which the colon is used. Also, examples in which the colon is the only indicator of the relation between segments of the text, have been made note of. The analysis is based on works by Olbrycht Strumieński (1573) and Stanisław Strojnowski (1609, 1636) which represent utalitarian literature, devoted to the problems of pond management.
'Zgniłe' czy 'zgnite jabłko'?

Zgniłe or zgnite jabłko? Or about a Certain Derivational Tendency in Polish Dialects and Its ConsequencesThe author presents and analyses the consequences of a characteristic for Polish dialects appearance of verbal adjectives which are the continuation of former gerunds ending in ‑ły. They occur very often in Polish dialects. The author pays attention to lexical and morphological consequences of this phenomenon. They consist in separation of a formant -ły that can create words from a great number of derivatives of an adjectival meaning not only on a verbal basis (e.g. przeszpiegły, wartły). Finally they also consist in the appearance of derivational synonymy. Functional character of adjectives ending in -ły enables their interchangeable action with other adverbial words ending in -ny, -ony, -any, ‑ty of resultant effect.
Fałszywe regionalizmy – leksyka regionalna na nowo odczytana
Authors: Ochmann Donata

False Regionalisms: Regional Vocabulary Read AnewNew electronic tools open new possibilities for research of regional vocabulary; they allow both to reach poorly attested units, and to verify dictionary data on the regional character of various lexemes. The paper is an attempt to problematize observations which have been made during the development of a dictionary of Cracow regionalisms. It discusses those lexical units which are listed in works devoted to regionalisms as associated with Cracow and which in reality do not have such status, as could be shown thanks, among others, to a new material verification. Using several examples, the paper presents cases of false interpretation of the regional status of lexemes: attribution of the wrong meaning or the wrong range of occurrence, and in consequence, consolidation and replication of a faulty image of these units. The analysis is set against the background of a new sociocultural view on the essence of regionalism, seen here as a factor which shapes the local identity, which view, according to this author, should not relieve of the care for scientific reliability or be based in fiction.

Dyskurs cywilizacyjny Zygmunta Krasińskiego w przestrzeni międzykulturowej

Zygmunt Krasiński’s Civilization Discourse in an Intercultural SpaceConstituted in Zygmunt Krasiński’s French texts, discourse about civilization arose within intercultural communication with authorities representing political institutions and the religious institution of Western Europe (among others, François Guizot, Napoleon III, or Pius IX) in years 1831–1858. Its aim was cognitive: to transfer knowledge, hitherto unknown to receivers, about the place occupied by Polish civilization in the European space. This goal was accomplished through the creation in the discourse, of representations of individual civilizations which were composed of its characteristic features selected from the respective fragment of reality as seen from the perspective of Polish communication community, and of opinions which evaluated them axiologically. Polish civilization has been presented in a cultural clash: from one side, with English civilization and in a further perspective with the civilization of the West, and from the other side with Russian civilization. The characterstics of individual civilizations were selected by Krasiński with respect to epistemic categories of similarity vs difference, compatibility vs incompatibility with rules, norms and values shared in the space of European civilization. As a result of the argumentative action of discourse, arose a representation of Polish civilization as comparable or even similar to other Western civilizations, and entirely incompatible with the eastern civilization of Russia. Russian civilization was portrayed as fundamentally irreconcilable with civilization at large with respect to those values on which the latter is built, such as justice, rule of law, transparency, and freedom; it appeared indeed to be anti-civilization. Krasiński created representations of civilizations which introduced to European political space new knowledge about itself. Transgressing the borders of the Polish language, civilization discourse became intercultural, the place where transfer and exchange of senses, meanings, and notions took place, from Polish language-culture where they were created to other linguistic-cultural spaces.
Terminy „sufiks” i „końcówka” w polskiej terminologii gramatycznej
Authors: Stachowski Marek
Published: February 2019

The Terms “Suffix” and “Desinence” among Polish Grammatical TermsThe Polish grammatical tradition seems unique in that the strict limiting of the use of the term “desinence, ending” to inflection and that of “suffix” to word formation is observed. This author arguesagainst an obligatory status of that differentiation. His opinion is that both terms should interchangeablybe used because a special term for an inflectional suffix (= “ending”) generally only produces redundant syntagms as is, for instance, the case with “genitive ending” = “inflectional genitive suffix”. A special problem concerns the English suffix -ing that forms both inflectional forms (a beating boy) and gerunds (beating a boy) and cannot actually be classified as either “suffix” or “desinence” (the fact that the term “gerund” is used for both functions in modern grammars does not eliminate the distinctness of the functions).
Gwara w górnośląskiej przestrzeni miejskiej

Dialect in Upper Silesian Urban SpaceThe paper presents ways in which linguistic messages are stylized to the local dialect in the space of Upper Silesian towns. The multitude of examples is a testimony to fashion for Silesian-ness, a turn towards locality and opposition to globalization. The phenomenon is related to quest for identity and the state and status of Silesian speech. The author discusses the role of towns in sociolinguistic research, and the notion of linguistic landscape. The paper presents inscriptions observed in Upper Silesia: place names, product names, official messages, posters and billboards (including political and advertisement ones), exhibitions, inscriptions on walls and on clothes.
