Authors: Boonma Nida , Swatevacharkul Rosukhon
Published: June 2020

Buta The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of the autonomous learning process (ALP) on learner autonomy of undergraduate students in English public speaking class and its effect size; and  to explore how learner autonomy is revealed through the ALP. This study employed a variant of a mixed-methods approach, which is an embedded experimental design. Employing the cluster sampling method, nineteen Thai students were included. The students were trained in the ALP based on the four dimensions of learner autonomy (technical, psychological, political-critical, and sociocultural.) Quantitative data were collected from the Learner Autonomy for Public Speaking (LAPS) questionnaires and analyzed by the dependent samples t-test. Qualitative data were drawn from the Overall Written Reflections, and thematic content analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the level of students’ learner autonomy in the post-questionnaire significantly increased from the pre-questionnaire (p = 0.00). Its effect size is large (d = 1.28), and learner autonomy, as revealed through the ALP, can be classified into five emerging themes. The themes are (1) use and plans of the learning strategies, (2) evaluation of learning and learning strategies, (3) capacity to provide and accept praise and criticism, (4) increased positive emotions and (5) sense of awareness and a better understanding of self. Recommendations for further study are provided.The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of the autonomous learning process (ALP) on learner autonomy of undergraduate students in English public speaking class and its effect size; and  to explore how learner autonomy is revealed through the ALP.

The Political Debate on Climate Change in Italy: A Discourse Network Analysis
Authors: Ghinoi Stefano , Steiner Bodo
Published: June 2020

Climate change is considered by policymakers as one of the most pressing global issues of our time. International institutions and national governments are, to varying degrees, committed to tackling climate change, but it has only been possible to define a shared system of collective goals across countries through the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP21). A growing interest in climate change policy has been present in the Italian political debate, yet we have little evidence regarding the nature of related climate change debates across Italian policymakers. By using Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) to investigate Italian policymakers’ discourses in the Chamber of Deputies during the 17th Italian Legislature (2013–2018), this study shows that debates on climate change-related strategies are largely unpolarized, except for certain issues, and that coalitions emerge over time around core strategies. Groups of policymakers with similar policy beliefs emerge independently from their political affiliations. Our analysis is thus the first to apply DNA to provide empirical evidence of the convergence across Italian policymakers and the potential for the bridging of political discourses on climate change.
Business Power in Noisy Politics: An Exploration Based on Discourse Network Analysis and Survey Data
Authors: Rinscheid Adrian
Published: June 2020

This study links voter-centred and interest group perspectives to assess the role structurally powerful businesses can play in contested political issues. Revisiting the literature on business influence in politics, incumbent businesses are theorised to strategically use their structural power to influence voters’ preferences. The conceptual framework is illustrated with a case study of a direct democratic vote related to Swiss energy policy. To empirically trace the role incumbent businesses played in the run-up to the vote, the study employs a two-step approach. First, it uses Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) to examine arguments and actor coalitions in the public debate preceding the vote. Second, the DNA results inform a statistical analysis of survey data on voting behaviour. The findings suggest that incumbent businesses can use their structural power strategically to shape voting behaviour. The study stimulates the discussion about political power relationships in societies and enriches the nascent debate about phasing out unsustainable energy infrastructure. Importantly, it opens up ways to combine DNA with other methods, an avenue that shows promise for use and further refinement in future applications.
Integrating Manual and Automatic Annotation for the Creation of Discourse Network Data Sets
Authors: Haunss Sebastian , Kuhn Jonas , Padó Sebastian , Blessing Andre , Blokker Nico , Dayanik Erenay , Lapesa Gabriella
Published: June 2020

This article investigates the integration of machine learning in the political claim annotation workflow with the goal to partially automate the annotation and analysis of large text corpora. It introduces the MARDY annotation environment and presents results from an experiment in which the annotation quality of annotators with and without machine learning based annotation support is compared. The design and setting aim to measure and evaluate: a) annotation speed; b) annotation quality; and c) applicability to the use case of discourse network generation. While the results indicate only slight increases in terms of annotation speed, the authors find a moderate boost in annotation quality. Additionally, with the help of manual annotation of the actors and filtering out of the false positives, the machine learning based annotation suggestions allow the authors to fully recover the core network of the discourse as extracted from the articles annotated during the experiment. This is due to the redundancy which is naturally present in the annotated texts. Thus, assuming a research focus not on the complete network but the network core, an AI-based annotation can provide reliable information about discourse networks with much less human intervention than compared to the traditional manual approach.
The Science–Policy Interface as a Discourse Network: Finland’s Climate Change Policy 2002–2015
Authors: Kukkonen Anna , Ylä-Anttila Tuomas
Published: June 2020

In this article, we argue that the science–policy interface can be understood as a discourse network constituted by discursive interaction between scientific organizations and other actors that both use scientific arguments in conjunction with other policy arguments. We use discourse network analysis to investigate the climate change policy process in Finland between 2002 and 2015, focusing on the role of and relationships between scientific actors and arguments in the discourse networks. Our data consist of policy actors’ written testimonies on two law proposals, the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol (2002) and the enactment of the Finnish Climate Law (2015). Our results show that two competing discourse coalitions have influenced the development of climate change policy in the 2000s. In 2002, the dominant coalition was economic, prioritizing economic growth over climate change mitigation. In 2015, the climate coalition that argued for ambitious mitigation measures became dominant. The majority of scientific actors were part of the dominant economy coalition in 2002 and part of the dominant ecology coalition in 2015. The centrality of scientific arguments increased over time, and both discourse coalitions used them progressively more. These developments reflect the increasingly central position of science in Finnish climate policymaking. We contribute to the literature on the science–policy interface by operationalizing the interface as a set of connections in a discourse network and by showing how the analysis of discourse networks and their properties can help us understand the shifts in the role of science in policymaking over time.
Policy Debates and Discourse Network Analysis: A Research Agenda
Authors: Leifeld Philip
Published: June 2020

Discourse network analysis (DNA) is a combination of network analysis and qualitative content analysis. DNA has been applied to various policy processes and debates to show how policy actors are related at the discursive level, complementing coordination relations among them that are often analysed in the application of the policy networks approach. This editorial takes stock of the theoretical and methodological research frontiers in DNA and summarises the contributions of the eleven articles in the thematic issue on “Policy Debates and Discourse Network Analysis” in Politics and Governance.
SEPARATISM IN THE CONFLICTIZATION OF PUBLIC LIFE
Authors: Obushnyi Mykola
Published: June 2020

The article deals with the coverage of one of the most conflicting contemporary social phenomena - separatism. Its emergence is compounded by the widespread of contradiction between two principles of modern international law - the selfdetermination of peoples and the territorial integrity of states. In seeking for resolving of this contradiction, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recommends protecting the possibility of exercising the right of ethnic minorities to their selfdetermination without providing an autonomous right to their separation. Thus, the recommendation of the Parliamentary Assembly not only provided ample opportunity for a deeper understanding of the principle of self-determination of nations, but also expanded the use of new varieties of separatism terms: secession; irredentism; enosis; devolution. To confirm this conclusion, we have analyzed the activities of a number of separatist parties and movements legally operating in Europe, in particular in the United Kingdom (Scottish National Party), Canada (Liberal Party of Quebec), Spain (Buck Nationalist Party, Catalonia Independence Movement), etc. Concerning Catalonia's independence, the article emphasized that today in Europe, as in the whole world, such a political and legal situation has emerged that it is impossible to recognize its independence. Accordingly, any protests by the Catalans will be considered as unconstitutional. Given the conflicting nature of separatism both in Catalonia and in other regions of European countries, it is possible that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe may subsequently propose changes and additions to the interpretation of international legal principles in order to more effectively remove the contradiction between the right of nations and the right to self-expression territorial integrity of states.
Seismicity, Stress State, and Style of Faulting of the Ridgecrest-Coso Region from the 1930s to 2019: Seismotectonics of an Evolving Plate Boundary Segment
Authors: Hauksson Egill , Jones Lucile M.
Published: June 2020

Decadal scale variations in the seismicity rate in the Ridgecrest-Coso region, part of the Eastern California Shear Zone, included seismic quiescence from the 1930s to the early 1980s, followed by increased seismicity until the 2019 Mw 6.4 and 7.1 Ridgecrest sequence. This sequence exhibited complex rupture on almost orthogonal faults and triggered aftershocks over an area of ∼90  km long by ∼5–10  km wide, which is a fraction of the area of the previously seismically active Indian Wells Valley and Coso range region. During the last 40 yr, the seismicity has been predominantly the result of strike-slip motion, extending north from the Garlock fault, along the Little Lake and Airport Lake fault zones, and approaching the southernmost Owens Valley fault to the north. The Coso range forms an extensional stepover between these two strike-slip fault systems. This evolution of a plate boundary zone is driven by the northwestward motion of the Sierra Nevada, and crustal extension along the southwestern edge of the Basin and Range Province. Stress inversion of focal mechanisms shows that the postseismic stress state consists of almost horizontal σ1 and vertical σ2. The σ1 is spatially rotated across the Coso range stepover with σ1-trending ∼N17° E to the north, whereas, along the Mw 7.1 mainshock rupture, the trend is ∼N6° E. The friction angles as measured between fault strikes and the σ1 trends correspond to a frictional coefficient of 0.75, suggesting average fault strength. In comparison, the mature Garlock fault has a smaller frictional coefficient of 0.28, similar to weak faults like the San Andreas fault. Thus, it appears that the heterogeneously oriented and spatially distributed but strong Ridgecrest-Coso faults accommodate seismicity at seemingly random places and times within the region and are in the process of self-organizing to form a major throughgoing plate-boundary segment.

Published: June 2020

The aims of this study were to determine chemical composition of essential oils from different plant species and their antibacterial activities against gal-forming plant pathogenic bacterial disease agents Rhizobium radiobacter, Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi and P.savastanoi pv. nerii. The chemical compositions of essential oils were identified by GC/MS. The major constituents of the essential oils were carvacrol in Thymbra spicata var. spicata (66.88%) and Origanum syriacum (79.8%), thymol in Thymus serpyllum (41.03%), geranial in Thymus sipyleus (13.72%) and Melissa officinalis (30.4), 4-terpineol in Origanum majorana (31.67%), linalool in Ocimum basilicum (30.23%), carvone in Mentha spicata (55.58%), 1,8 cineole in Lavandula stoechas var. stoechas (35.5%), Laurus nobilis (35.5%) and Rosmarinus officinalis (18.47%), camphor in Salvia officinalis (24.59%) and trans-anethole in Foeniculum vulgare (82.8%) essential oils, respectively. Based on inhibition zone diameter values, essential oils showed very strong antibacterial activities against P.savastanoi pv. savastanoi (7.0-44.67 mm), followed by R.radiobacter (9.6-37.67 mm) and P.savastanoi pv. nerii (6.33-18.33 mm). Essential oils of plants belong to Lamiaceae family were generally found to be more efficient than those belong to Lauraceae and Apiaceae families. The essential oils of O.syriacum, T.serpyllum and T.spicata var. spicata were found to be the most promising essential oils displaying the highest antibacterial activities against all tested bacterial species. The findings of the present study revealed that essential oils have a potential to be used as antibacterial agents against gall forming bacterial disease agents.
Climate Response of Metasequoia glyptostroboides Inferred from Tree Rings, Secrest Arboretum, Wooster, Ohio, USA
Authors: Vargo Lauren J. , Wiles Gregory , Wiesenberg Nicholas , Williams Christopher J. , Cochran Ken
Published: June 2020

Metasequoia glyptostroboides, a deciduous gymnosperm, also known as dawn redwood, was thought to be extinct until living members of the species were found in China in 1943. Analyzing the climate response of a transplanted stand of the trees can give insights into their physiological plasticity, into their use in restoration and reforestation, as well as into interpreting the environmental conditions of the geologic past from fossil Metasequoia. An annual ring-width chronology—spanning 1955 to 2010 and based on a stand of 19 M. glyptostroboides trees planted in Secrest Arboretum in northeast Ohio, USA—shows negative correlations with maximum monthly temperatures: with the strongest relationship with February and the warm months of June and July, all significant at the 99% confidence levels. A positive May to June precipitation correlation is the strongest moisture signal (p < 0.05) and the narrowest rings in the chronology occurred during the drought of 1987 to 1988, consistent with one of the warmest and driest Junes on record. These results have implications for the future as climate change affects the native and transplanted range of this species. Future response of this species to a changing climate will depend on the relative rates of warming maximum temperatures in the winter and summer, as well as changing moisture conditions during the summer months.

Background: Integrating mental health services into primary care is the most viable way of closing the treatment gap and ensuring that people get the mental health care they need. Government of Karnataka initiated the Manochaitanya programme to ensure that mental health services at all primary health care centers, community health centers and taluk hospitals on every Tuesday. Its required to know the patient satisfaction in this programme.Methods: This study was conducted over a period of two years, cross-sectionally seen 102 cases from 9 PHC’s that runs psychiatric clinics every Tuesday. This population was compared with 107 from Tertiary care center. All were assessed by the Psychiatrist using ICD-10 clinically after the informed consent. After 3 follow ups they were assessed with semi structured proforma, Indian Disability Evaluation and Assessment Scale (IDEAS), Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ-18) instruments.Results: The Patient satisfaction was found to be higher in PHCs 83.07±8.72 compared to tertiary subjects 75.27±9.51 (p<0.05). Severe mental illness was higher 48.96% in PHCs as compared to tertiary care center common mental illness 23.36%. Subjects from tertiary care centres report higher GAF score (65%) higher among tertiary care subjects than their PHC counterparts (35%).Conclusions: The patients receiving treatment in PHC’s reported more satisfaction than those who receive treatment in tertiary care center. Higher disability scores on IDEAS in PHC’s than tertiary Center due reporting of more cases of severe mental illness in PHC’s. Married patients have shown higher satisfaction as compared to single/ Divorced/ Separated patients. Alcohol Dependence Syndrome was found to be more in tertiary care hospital than in PHC’s.

Published: June 2020

Background: Supracondylar fracture of humerus is most common of all the fractures around the elbow in children. They occur most commonly in children more so in male child with the peak around 5-8 years. Objective of this study was to compare the outcome of 3 different modalities of treatment for supracondylar fracture of humerus.

Methods: Children with type III supracondylar fracture of humerus were categorized into group A, group B, group C based on conservative, closed reduction and percutaneous K wire fixation and open reduction and K wire fixation modalities of treatment given. All the children were followed for 6 months and the outcome of treatment was evaluated using Flynn’s criteria.

Results: 40 children were treated with 3 different modalities of treatment. The rate of complications was less in children who were operated on first day of admission (p=0.02). Group B and group C had 80% and 61.11% excellent results and group A had 47.05% poor results. The outcome was better with cross K wire pinning than lateral pinning (p=0.015).

Conclusions: Supracondylar fracture of humerus should be operated as early as possible to reduce the rate of complications. The outcome of surgical treatment was better than conservative treatment evaluated in terms of Flynn’s criteria. Cross wire pinning was better than lateral pinning in terms of outcome, but the rate of neuropraxias was more with cross wire pinning.

The food industry has sought to adapt to the trend of healthy consumption habits and, for this, it has invested in the research and production of products with functional purposes, since functional foods have proven to bring several health benefits. Therefore, it was proposed, with this research, the elaboration of a functional bar, rich in functional and protein ingredients, taking into account the nutritional content and its practicality of consumption. For this, varied proportions of quinoa (10%, 17% and 15%, for F1, F2 and F3, respectively) and peanuts (20%, 15% and 17%, for F1, F2 and F3, respectively), were used, and the functional bars were enriched with fructooligosaccharide (FOS), with a ratio between dry ingredients and binding agents of 70% and 30%, respectively. The design of the binary mixture was used for the various compositions of formulations. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to evaluate the physical-chemical composition and its average in relation to the Tukey test at 5% confidence. The three formulations were considered to have a high protein content (21.54%, for F1; 18.17%, for F2; 20.00%, for F3), according to legislation, with a high lipid content (22.02%, for F1; 13.42%, for F2; 22.40%, for F3), coming from good sources, and considerable carbohydrate content (49.62%, for F1; 54.44%, for F2; 47.84% , for F3), including fibers. The proposed functional bar proved to be balanced in nutrients and calories, presenting nutritional characteristics compatible with a diet rich in proteins.

This paper aims to investigate the methodology of calculation and disclosure of the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) for Professional Education Secondary Schools (EMI) and for the Federal Net of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (RFEPCT). The method used was documentary research. Two relevant findings were found: the first one is the absence of an IDEB aggregation unit for Federal Schools; the second is the exclusion of the Professional Education Secondary Schools (EMI) numbers from the State’s IDEB calculation. The main conclusions were: a) the absence of calculation and publicity of the IDEB at Federal level incurs losses for the RFEPCT to monitoring the achievement of the goal nº 7 of the National Education Plan 2014-2024 (PNE); b) the calculation and dissemination of the IDEB for the Federal Professional Education Secondary Schools could confirm the good results obtained by RFEPCT in non-census indicators such as PISA and ENEM; c) measures such as the creation of an aggregation unit for the Federal Secondary Schools and the inclusion of the EMI in the states calculation in the upcoming editions of IDEB, would strengthen this educational proposal against a scenario of recent cuts in education’s investments.

The results on the production of composite magnetosorbents (CMS) based on agricultural wastes (uncontaminated steel gas treatment dust – PGSN, sunflower husk, paraffin) for the treatment of contaminated water from oil and its products and minimizing the environmental impact of petrochemical enterprises are presented. Biotesting at two test sites (crustaceans Daphnia magna and algae Scenedesmus quadricauda) allowed us to establish that PSGN is non-toxic and can be used as a component of magnetosorbents. The resulting materials showed good physicochemical properties. It was shown that CMC have high hydrophobicity – the contact angle of contact was 125–137 degrees; buoyancy of the material for 96 hours did not decrease below 97–99 %; CMC had a low water absorption of 0.132–0.114 g/g. The oil intensity of the sorbents was 6.0 ± 0.15 g/g. Sorption equilibrium was achieved during the first 10–20 minutes contact of the material with oil and oil productsand remained constant. It has been established that the sorption process is influenced by the nature and thickness of the oil product layer. The maximum sorption capacity is achieved with a film thickness of 3.5 ± 0.15 mm.

A Generic Pattern-based Design for Distributed Collaborative Editors
Authors: Cherif Asma
Published: June 2020

With the advent of information sharing technologies, users can share and collaborate in performing common tasks through the use of distributed collaborative applications. Specifically, Distributed Collaborative Editors (DCE) are more and more used in many fields including healthcare, education, software engineering, military, etc. However, all proposed DCE frameworks focused on coordination algorithms, i.e. how to ensure data convergence, while very little attention was given to addressing the design of DCE which shall be the fundamental step for DCE frameworks construction. In this article, we analyze and design DCE as the structure of five layers comprising classifiers, relations among them, and their main properties. We contribute in two areas. First, we define a generic DCE architecture that captures organization, business and software aspects of DCE. Secondly, we propose a pattern-based design that emphasizes good design principles for the business core of DCE. This design will allow DCE researchers and developers to converge towards the same generic framework while improving the quality and performance of proposed DCE applications and tools.

An effective way to retain employees is to maintain and foster a harmonious relationship between the organization and its employees. Good treatment of the company to its employees, will form a positive perception in the minds of its employees so that it arises in the name of engagement or employee engagement. Employees who have an attachment to the company will certainly have a sense of job satisfaction. Employee management must be directed to the ability to elevate Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) through the job satisfaction of its employees, this is mainly because of the employee engagement function that provides a set of values ​​for setting company priorities. The problem of employee engagement is essential for a company, because it will always be related to life in the company. The population of this research is all 557 permanent employees in East Java. The sample in this study was selected using the multistage sampling method. After mapping, eight offices were netted, namely Jember, Malang, Mojokerto, Pasuruan, Sidoarjo, Surabaya Karimunjawa, Surabaya Rungkut, and East Java Regional Office as many as 207. The research hypotheses proposed were 2 and were tested using the path analysis method.

La paradiplomacia, como práctica de gobier­nos locales y regionales, es objeto de una mul­tiplicidad de estudios en diferentes latitudes. Estos han contribuido a relevar y visibilizar el comportamiento de estos actores, en especial, su aporte a las relaciones internacionales y a la política exterior. Durante este proceso, se fue construyendo también una mayor conceptuali­zación del término, que permite establecer diá­logos que comienzan a superar los estudios de caso y dan forma a un emergente campo formal de investigación. Estos avances consistieron en la inclusión formal de la temática en planes de estudios vinculados a las relaciones internacio­nales a través de un proceso heterogéneo. En este artículo se busca generar una contribución al estudio de la paradiplomacia en Argentina, desde una perspectiva regional, para potenciar los estudios académicos en este emergente campo de las relaciones internacionales.
Política exterior y estados periféricos. Análisis de la transformación de la identidad del Ecuador
Authors: Jaramillo Jassir Mauricio
Published: June 2020

El artículo tiene por objeto analizar el cambio de identidad en la política exterior ecuatoria­na, apoyándose en la necesidad conceptual por establecer un vínculo entre lo interno y lo externo. La hipótesis de trabajo consiste en que entre 2008 y 2011, Ecuador transformó su identidad dotándose de un nuevo rol en el sistema internacional, resultado del proceso re­fundacional. Su identidad consistió en buscar un equilibrio regional, donde pudiese influir en ciertos temas, sin alinearse con otros Estados y reduciendo lo que percibía como vulnerabi­lidades. Para demostrarlo, el texto se divide en tres partes. En primer lugar, se analizan los desafíos de la política exterior como campo de estudio para los llamados Estados periféricos; en segundo lugar, se aborda la dimensión exte­rior de la transformación ecuatoriana durante el gobierno de Rafael Correa, sobre todo, entre 2008 y 2011 y, finalmente, se esbozan algunas ideas sobre la manera en que debe ser interpre­tado el cambio de identidad ecuatoriana.

En este estudio se caracterizaron la tecnología local y los aspectos socioeconómicos del sistema productivo de fríjol Caupí en las regiones productoras del Caribe colombiano. Para ello se aplicaron encuestas estructuradas y un taller de costos por consenso a 30 productores seleccionados mediante muestreo aleatorio simple. La información obtenida se analizó por estadísticos descriptivos de distribución de frecuencia, tablas de contingencia y análisis de correlación. Los resultados mostraron que el cultivo se siembra por pequeños productores en 1,1 hectáreas en promedio. La edad promedio de los agricultores es de 55 años con más de 11 años de experiencia en el cultivo. El 78% de los productores encuestados refiere al monocultivo como sistema de producción con rendimiento de grano máximo de 1,7 t ha-1, destinado principalmente al mercado local, de acuerdo con lo indicado en el 90 % de las encuestas.  El valor de la mano de obra constituye el 60% de los costos de producción dado que las labores se realizan predominantemente de forma manual. La rentabilidad es del 19 %, el punto de equilibrio se alcanza con el 84 % de la producción quedando un remanente del 16% como ganancia. Los resultados alcanzados serán de utilidad para entidades enfocadas en el fomento de la producción, planificadores de política y la formulación de agendas de investigación en el frijol Caupí.

El cultivo del cacao (Theobroma cacao L) ha adquirido gran importancia para Colombia en los últimos años, debido al incremento de las áreas cultivadas y al compromiso con su exportación por parte del Gobierno nacional. Para el año 2018, en el país había aproximadamente 170.000 hectáreas sembradas. Esta especie se cultiva entre los 20° de latitud norte y los 20° de latitud sur, a altitudes comprendidas entre los 0-1200 msnm. Los principales productores de cacao se encuentran ubicados en el continente africano (Ghana y Costa de Marfil), que contribuyen aproximadamente con el 70 % de la producción mundial. En América, la producción se enfoca en cultivos de cacao fino y de aroma, especialmente en países como Ecuador, Perú, Brasil, Colombia, México, entre otros. Los retos que enfrenta este cultivo en la actualidad son diversos: la escasa disponibilidad de mano de obra, la existencia de enfermedades limitantes como las causadas por Moniliophthora roreri y Phythophthora spp., y las restricciones establecidas por los 

países consumidores frente a la presencia de ciertos metales pesados que son bioacumulados por el cacao y que pueden generar problemas a la salud humana. Por tanto, el objetivo de esta revisión es analizar las diferentes variables que intervienen en este cultivo, como instrumento de consulta para productores y técnicos interesados en este sistema productivo, con el fin de que se convierta en una herramienta en la toma de decisiones del cultivo y de sus implicaciones de establecimiento.

Waśnie martyrologiczne Wielkiej Emigracji. Demokraci wobec Mickiewicza
Authors: Kihara Makiko
Published: June 2020

Today, the martyrological discourse is one of the most conspicuous traditions of Polish Romanti-cism. When searching for the genesis of this discourse, one cannot overestimate the importance of the literary and political activities of Adam Mickiewicz from the autumn of 1832 to the middle of 1833. However, little is known about the problem of the resonance of Mickiewicz’s martyrological language and about how this discourse functioned in various texts of the Great Emigration. This paper attempts to answer those questions in reference to left-leaning texts of Komitet Narodowy Polski (KNP) and To-warzystwo Demokratyczne Polskie (TDP) from the 1830s. A study of the writings of KNP has led the author to the conclusion that they represent a common martyrological code of the emigration’s logo-sphere, while the TDP publications constitute an interesting variation of the martyrological collective imagination. The original character of the martyrological expression of the democrats stems from their views on the role of the people in regaining independence. On the other hand, certain common traits existed between TDP and Mickiewicz, which demonstrates that democrats modified the martyrological framework as a national narrative established by Mickiewicz.

Placówka Bolesława Prusa jako przyczynek do charakterystyki sąsiedzkich stosunków z Niemcami w Kronikach Bolesława Prusa. Rekonesans
Authors: Lubczyńska-Jeziorna Elżbieta
Published: June 2020

The article analyzes the Polish–German relations described by Bolesław Prus in Kroniki (Chronicles). It raises questions about how the author’s personal beliefs determine the construction of his novel characters. The author has avoided the coloured chauvinism of complaints about the in-creasing number of German colonists coming to the cities and provinces. Prus was aware of threats, but also saw the advantages and strengths of German organizations. Observations of neighbours and international relations were used by Prus mainly for comparisons. Prus’s chronicles and letters are a testimony to the sinusoidal variation of the author’s moods: from intoxication with greatness and modernity to emotional depression.
