Published: December 2021

Assessment is a critical component in the process of teaching and learning. Without an effective assessment, it is impossible to know whether students have learned the lesson. This research aimed to investigate the washback of a formative assessment in EFL instructions. This study was a case study conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Singkep. The data were collected by using observation guidelines, questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis. This study has findings: 1) Good perception of formative assessment. It was drawn from interview questions and observation guidelines which showed that the teacher claimed to have good experience in implementing formative assessment, teacher figured out assessment importance, and teacher assumed by using supported media to address formative assessment. 2) Positive washback on EFL teaching. It was drawn from document analysis, observation, and interview which the results showed that the teacher provided good attention on the lesson plan, the teacher was successful on studentsâ€™ engagement, the teacher used systematic instruction and understandable language use. 3) Positive washback on EFL learning. It was drawn from questionnaires and observation which the results showed students had good participation in doing a task, students had responsibility in learning, and students and the teacher had a kind relationship in the classroom. In conclusion, it is recommended that the teacher should understand more the formative assessment and readiness of the students. We suggested teachers provide oral and written advice or feedback that is written down on students' writing tasks or another subject.

Authors: Rahman Dian Fathur , Linggar Bharati Dwi Anggani , Rukmini Dwi
Published: December 2021

This research is a qualitative study of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) practice. PjBL is one of the three main teaching and learning methods suggested in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum. Researches on the teachersâ€™ perception were mostly on the benefits of PjBL, but their understandings of PjBL were commonly ignored. Meanwhile, the teachersâ€™ beliefs and perceptions affect what they do in the classrooms. Their perceptions deeply influence the way they plan, teach, and perform assessments. Therefore, this study is aimed at evaluating how the teachers perceive, plan, implement, and assess PjBL in writing instruction. The result of this study is expected to enrich the practical concept and theory of PjBL. Besides, it is important for the readers, especially the teachers to either revise or improve their perception, knowledge, and understanding of PjBL, especially in writing instruction. To collect the data, the researcher used a questionnaire, document, classroom observation, and interview. The findings show that the teachers have several incorrect perceptions of PjBL. Their misperceptions lead them to make inappropriate PjBL plans, implementations, and assessments. Accordingly, it reveals the teachersâ€™ perceptions of PjBL were compatible with their PjBL plan, implementation, and assessment. However, this compatibility did not show the appropriateness of the teachersâ€™ PjBL practice due to several misperceptions of PjBL of the teachers.

Published: December 2021

In a learning context, students are usually faced with images and texts, especially in textbooks they carry around with them. Nowadays, meaning-making rarely depends on language alone. Sometimes, the combination between image, color, sound, and action symbol have been considered as paralanguage no longer play a subordinate role in modern communication. This research aims to explain 1) the existence of visual representational meaning and the text ideational meaning in Cambridge Guess What Pupilâ€™s Book 6, 2) the function of visual representational meaning and the text ideational meaning in the Cambridge Guess What Pupilâ€™s Book 6, and 3) the function of visual representational meaning and the purposes of the texts in Cambridge Guess What Pupilâ€™s Book 6. The findings showed the existences of the visual representational meaning and the ideational meaning of the texts. They had the same participants and processes. However, not all clauses on the texts had the same participants. There were only several clauses that had the same participants with the figures. It meant visual representational meaning only could visualize the description of the same participants or visualize the narration of the same processes.

Authors: Nisak Sukrun , Rukmini Dwi
Published: December 2021

This research is about the use of verbal language and visual image to realize the metafunctions in studentâ€™s textbook. In order to see the process of meaning making in multimodal text, the researcher analyses the implementation of ideational, interpersonal, and textual meaning. The data was taken from conversation sections in Interchange Studentâ€™s Book 1. It consists of verbal language in the form of dialogues and visual image in the form of pictures. There were 16 conversation sections chosen from 16 chapters in the book. This research uses multimodal discourse analysis; using three instruments to classify the data. The checklists are from Eggins (2004) about metafunctions in verbal language, Van Leeuween (2006) about metafunctions in visual image, and Royce (2007) about the relations in verbal language and visual image. In ideational meaning, the result of the study shows that verbal language which dominates the conversation is the material proces; while in visual image, the reactional process is the highest number of process happens. Thus, the verbal-visual relations in ideational meaning found are collocation and repetition. Furthermore, the result in interpersonal meaning finds out that the most common verbal language used is statement; while in visual image, the medium shot is mostly found. Thus, the verbal-visual relation in interpersonal meaning realized through reinforcement of address is interaction between represented participant and represented participant. Moreover, in textual meaning, the result of verbal language shows that the most common used theme is topical theme; while in visual image, the information value is mostly left-right. Thus, the verbal-visual relation in textual meaning shown in reading path is left-right.
Realization of Cultural Filter in The Indonesian – English Translation of “Gundala Movie” Subtitle
Authors: Putri Widya Ivani
Published: December 2021

Translating a movie subtitle from Indonesian into English should be done carefully because Indonesian and English have some differences which may lead to ineffective communication, such as the changing of structures, the difference of meanings, and also dissimilarity of corresponding cultures. This phenomenon might be a concern since many Indonesian movies have entered international audiences and won some international awards, such as the Gundala movie that is directed by Joko Anwar. This study focused on analyzing the cultural filter implemented in Indonesian â€“ English audio-visual translation of Gundala movie subtitles. The analysis utilizes the cultural filter theory proposed by House (2015). The data analysis focused in this study includes the charactersâ€™ utterances in Indonesian and its English subtitle provided in the Gundala movie. The subject is the Indonesian transcription from verbal dialogues produced by the movie characters in Gundala movie and its English subtitles shown on the screen. The object of the study is words, phrases, and sentences produced by the characters in the Gundala movie. Most translations applied cultural filter achieves functional equivalence. Theoretically, the cultural filter can help the translator to achieve functional equivalence. Practically, for the next translation project, it could be a good challenge for the next researcher to explore the translation studies using this theory. Pedagogically, the reader should be more familiar with the cultural differences between Indonesian and English.

Published: December 2021

This qualitative research attempted to review the influence of the Pontianak Melayu dialect on studentsâ€™ English pronunciation of English speech sounds. The objectives of the study were to explain the influence of Pontianak Melayu dialect on studentsâ€™ English pronunciation of vowels, consonants, diphthongs, and consonant clusters and to explain the way teachers play their roles to improve studentsâ€™ pronunciation. This study used a qualitative case study design. The subjects of this study were 17 students from seventh-grade of Junior High School who are originally from the Pontianak. The data were collected by using questionnaires, studentsâ€™ recordings, observation checklists, and interviews. The results of this study show that the Pontianak Melayu dialect contributed insignificant positive transfer on English vowel sounds [É”:], [ÊŠ], and [É’]. It gave significant negative transfer on English consonant sounds [f, v, k, s]. It also gave insignificant negative transfer on English diphthong sound [aÉª]. It gave significant negative transfer on English consonant cluster sounds [fr] and [kl], and significant negative transfer on three consonant clusters. Meanwhile, the teacher did play her role in improving studentsâ€™ pronunciation. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the Pontianak Melayu dialect did not strongly give positive and negative transfer to the studentsâ€™ English pronunciation. The easiness might be caused by the similarities between the Pontianak Melayu language and English. The difficulties might be caused by the lack of studentsâ€™ knowledge about correct pronunciation, lack of pronunciation practice, studentsâ€™ inability to recognize the words, and spelling interference. In teaching pronunciation processes, the teachers and the students should be supported each other to reach the best achievement. The teachers taught by supporting media such as English songs, western movies or English short stories, etc. Meanwhile, the students practice more and more.
The Use of Cohesive Devices to Provide Coherence in Argumentative Essays of Universitas Negeri Semarang Graduate Students
Authors: Alfitri Bahya , Yuliasri Issy
Published: December 2021

This study aims to analyze the use of cohesive devices and the chain interaction of cohesive devices to achieve coherence in argumentative essays of Universitas Negeri Semarang graduate students.  This study employed descriptive qualitative research design. It focused on cohesion and coherence analysis of students’ writing. The findings of the study showed that all of the types of cohesive devices such as reference, substitution, ellipsis, and reiteration were found in the students’ essays. These cohesive devices provide the coherence of the text through their semantic relation or bound which create the two cohesive chains; identity chains and similarity chains. The interaction between both chains can give explicit signals to guide readers towards the intended interpretation of the text. The result of this chain interaction is known as cohesive harmony. Most of students’ essays achieve coherence because the total tokens of the students’ essays enter more than 50% of chain interaction. Unfortunately, the students overuse certain types of cohesive devices such as repetition in creating the chains.

Objective: The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the characteristics (positive and negative) of Perceval S valve in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with a biological prosthesis. The study included 67 patients operated on at our institution and a mean follow-up period of 18 months.
Methods: From June 2016 to November 2019, 209 patients underwent aortic valve replacement with a biological prosthesis. Of these, 67 patients were included in the study based on the exclusion and inclusion criteria set before the study began. Their data were recorded during their hospital stay (preoperative, intraoperative, and early and late postoperative time).
Results: Fifty-four patients underwent isolated aortic valve replacement (group I) with a Perceval S prosthesis, and 13 patients had combined aortic valve replacement procedures and CABG procedures (group II). Patients were implanted with the following prosthesis sizes: S (N = 12), M (N = 18), L (N = 28), or XL (N = 9). The Perceval S valve successfully was implanted in 67 (91.8%) patients (in 6 patients, the preoperative transthoracic echocardiographic data did not coincide with intraoperative TEE and surgical measurement of the size of the annulus in the suture). Surgical approaches in patients were medial sternotomy (N = 48), mini sternotomy (N = 15), and thoracotomy through the second intercostal space to the right (N = 4). The mean clamping time of the aorta and CPB length for isolated cases was 54 and 82 minutes, respectively, and 96 and 120 minutes for combined procedures. Four (5.9%) patients died within 30 days.
Conclusion: Early postoperative results showed that the Perceval S valve was safe. Further follow up is required to evaluate the long-term duration of patients with this bioprosthesis.

Enclaves de lirismo en el ensayismo "vaginal" de Ángel Antonio Herrera. Calas en "Mujeres, mujeres"
Authors: Vadillo López Diego
Published: December 2021

Ángel Antonio Herrera es un periodista y poeta español que alcanzó su punta de notoriedad pública allá en los años noventa, fundamentalmente compareciendo en el ámbito de la prensa del corazón como comentarista, entrevistador y cronista. Ahora bien, su trayectoria puramente literaria, centrada principalmente en una creación poética de gran vuelo lírico, ha quedado soterrada por la periodística. No obstante, ambas han quedado emparentadas por el ímpetu lírico de Herrera, que siempre ha trasvasado hallazgos más propios del orbe poético a sus columnas y ensayos periodísticos. Como él mismo ha venido reconociendo, tal proceder lo aprendió de su maestro Francisco Umbral. Un ejemplo de lo antedicho es su libro Mujeres, mujeres (1992). En él realiza una serie de semblanzas de distintas modelos, actrices o escritoras intercalando un elevado número de recursos líricos que contribuyen a otorgar un mayor valor estético-literario al conjunto.
Utilidad del arte, función de la literatura y pensamiento narrativo
Authors: Rubiera Javier
Published: December 2021

Este artículo considera, en primer lugar, el modo de preguntarse por la función de la literatura y de su valor como forma de conocimiento en algunos textos de críticos literarios (Welleck y Warren), profesores universitarios (Mustapha Fahmi y Raúl Álvarez Moreno) o novelistas actuales (Javier Cercas, Juan Villoro y Juan Gabriel Vázquez). En la segunda parte, se analiza la teoría literaria de Rafael Núñez Ramos en torno al pensamiento narrativo y a los aspectos cognitivos del relato. En la tercera parte, el autor muestra de qué modo esta teoría de Núñez Ramos ilumina la propia experiencia de lectura de los relatos cristianos del escritor japonés R. Akutagawa, recientemente co-traducidos al español por el autor.
¿Populismo híbrido? análisis del SMER-SD en Eslovaquia
Authors: Tejero Matos Paula
Published: December 2021

El populismo en Europa se ha concentrado, sobre todo, en la zona oriental y se ha manifestado a través de partidos de derecha. Pero paradójicamente, los estudios centrados en esta parte del continente en comparación con occidente son escasos. Con el fin de contribuir a los conocimientos sobre populismo en esta zona, analizamos un caso excepcional de partido populista de izquierda en Eslovaquia, el SMER-SD. Los resultados muestran cómo, a partir de 2014, el partido eslovaco se convierte en «populista híbrido», económicamente de izquierda y conservador en lo cultural, acercándose a partidos populistas más comunes en la región, como el PiS en Polonia. Además, los votantes del SMER-SD ya poseían actitudes populistas con anterioridad, lo que nos permite inferir que este viraje ideológico ayudó al partido a evitar su total declive y mantener buena parte de sus apoyos electorales en posteriores elecciones.

Aim. To find and confirm the possibility of hydrogen peroxide tank pressurization using high-temperature pressurization gas (~1100К) with a high percentage of steam (up to 70%) without its losses. Research methods. Mathematical modeling of pressurization system parameters with the theory of mass transfer and thermodynamic of variable mass bodies have been used. Results. The conducted research allowed us to find and confirm the possibility of using a new pressurization method with additional sources of heat and elaborate recommendations for its appliance during pressurization time. Scientific novelty. The main processes have been determined, which prevent implementation of the efficient high-temperature pressurization system of the tank with the hydrogen peroxide using peroxide decomposition products. The main obstacle is the volume condensation of vapor in the free volume of the tank when heat exchange processes with boundary surfaces take place. For the first time, by means of theoretical calculations, the expediency and rationality of using the additional sources of heat such as high-temperature combustion product of solid-fuel gas generator based on sodium azide have been proved. Using of this additional source for the first 30 seconds of engine operation has been proved. Practical value. Methodology of pressurization system parameters’ calculation was supplemented with discovered thermodynamic relation, which allowed us to calculate the amount of vapor and take some measures to eliminate the condensation. Results of the research allowed the designation of the pressurization system for the highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide tank with a high value of length to diameter relation with its high-temperature decomposition products.

Procalcitonin Use: Variation Across Hospitals and Trends Over Time
Authors: Cotter Jillian M. , Hardee Isabel , Moss Angela , Dempsey Amanda , Ambroggio Lilliam
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVES

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a relatively novel biomarker that may be superior to C-reactive protein (CRP) in identifying bacterial infection. PCT use in pediatric hospitals is relatively unknown. We aimed to evaluate PCT and CRP use, describe PCT testing variability across children’s hospitals, and compare temporal rates of PCT and CRP testing for patients admitted with pneumonia, sepsis, or fever in young infants.

METHODS

In this multicenter cohort study, we identified children ≤18 years old hospitalized from 2014–2018 with pneumonia, sepsis, or fever in infants <2 months by using the Pediatric Health Information System. To determine use, we evaluated the proportion of encounters with PCT or CRP testing from 2017-2018. We generated heat maps to describe PCT use across hospitals. We also compared PCT and CRP rates over time from 2014 to 2018.

RESULTS

From 2017–2018, PCT testing occurred in 3988 of 34c231 (12%) hospitalizations. Febrile infants had the highest PCT testing proportion (18%), followed by sepsis (15%) and pneumonia (9%). There was across-hospital variability in PCT testing, particularly for febrile infants. Over time, the odds of PCT testing increased at a significantly greater rate than that of CRP.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite limited guideline recommendations for PCT testing during the study period, PCT use increased over time with across-hospital variability. For pneumonia and sepsis, given the importance of high-value care, we need to understand the impact of PCT on patient outcomes. With recent guidelines recommending PCT in the evaluation of febrile infants, we identified baseline testing behaviors for future studies on guideline impact.

The article describes theoretical foundations of the study of tourism potential of the regions of Ukraine in the context of geography and current state of German cultural heritage. The historical preconditions for the formation and development of cultural heritage of German ethnic minority on the territory of the modern Ukraine are studied. Geography of German ethnic minority of the early XX century within the modern territory of Ukraine and geography of ethnic Germans and German cultural heritage in the modern Ukraine are developed. On the basis of a cluster analysis of indicators of the number of preserved objects and the number of former German settlements, groups of regions with high, medium and low potential for the development of ethnic tourism are identified. Odesa, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv and Zhytomyr are the leaders by the number of objects of German cultural heritage among all regions of Ukraine. The group of regions with a medium level of potential for ethnic tourism includes the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Volyn, Kherson, Ivano-Frankivsk, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Chernivtsi, and Khmelnytskyi regions. Seven main types of preserved objects of German cultural heritage in Ukraine are identified. Sacred objects and public buildings and structures are best represented. The objects of German cultural heritage preserved to this day in the context of the regions of Ukraine are described. It was found that the main obstacles to the development of German ethnic tourism in Ukraine are the destruction of many cultural heritage objects, lack of funding for restoration of these objects, insufficient involvement of objects to tourist routes and low level of their promotion. The main ways to overcome these obstacles are identified: allocation of budget funds for the restoration of objects, attracting private investors, international organizations and German community; development of new tourist routes; marking places with information stands, publishing information materials about objects; digitalization of objects; organization of international conferences, round tables, festivals, etc.

Published: December 2021

This article presents an appraisal of the quality of groundwater in the hard Received in revised form: 15.07.2021 rock aquifer system of the Vasishta sub basin, of the Vellar River Basin. Seventy nine representative groundwater samples were collected from dug and bore wells which are intensively used for domestic and irrigational purposes. The physical parameters viz. PH, EC and TDS were estimated in the field using a portable multiparameter meter. The groundwater samples were transported to the laboratory for measuring major ionic concentrations viz, Ca, Mg, Na, K, CO3, HCO3, Cl, SO4, F and NO3. The hydrochemical data were graphically projected and spatial temporal thematic maps generated with reference to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian (BIS) Standards. The peoples living in the sub basin engage in agricultural activities where the groundwater availability is sufficient. The groundwater is a major source for meeting their basic needs, such as for domestic, irrigational and industrial purposes. Good correlation is exhibited between EC and TDS Cl, SO4.Cl exhibits good correlation with Mg and Ca (0.817), (0.751) indicating leaching of secondary salts. TDS and EC showed strong correlation with Cl, SO4. Clustering groundwater samples based on their similarity is known as Q-mode type clustering method. Spatial and temporal maps of the water quality index reveal that the majority of the groundwater samples fall under the categories excellent to good.
Levels of changes in the genus Pinus Linné in the composition of Mesozoic and Cenozoic flora and vegetation as an additional criterion for the division of sediments by the Mesozoic and Cenozoic of Ukraine
Authors: Sirenko Olena A. , Shevchuk Olena A.
Published: December 2021

The article presents an analysis of a large array of results of palynological studies of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments of Ukraine and adjacent regions of Belarus and Russia. Numerous literature data on the palynological characteristics of Meso-Cenozoic sediments and the materials of the authors are summarized according to the results of spore-pollen analysis of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments within the main tectonic structures of Ukraine. It has been established that the genus Pinus (Pinaceae) is an integral part of the Meso-Cenozoic flora of Ukraine. Although, the participation in the flora and vegetation of the genus Pinus and its species diversity in different periods of geological time were different. Despite the long history and significant achievements of palynological research of Meso-Cenozoic sediments of Ukraine, no attention has been paid to the historical aspect of Pinus development in the Meso-Cenozoic flora. This work is presented as the first stem to fill this gap. The genus Pinus has a large stratigraphic range, but its species diversity and quantitative changes in the composition of Mesozoic and Cenozoic flora of different ages are markedly different. The analysis of these changes made it possible to trace the emergence and main levels at which the species composition was renewed and the role of Pinus in flora increased during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. According to the results of the research, 5 levels of increasing the participation of the genus Pinus and changes in its species affiliation in the Mesozoic flora were established: Aalenian period of the Middle Jurassic (appearance of the first representatives of Pinus); Oxfordian time of the Late Jurassic; Valanginian – Early Barremian times of the Early Cretaceous; Albian time of the Early Cretaceous; Late Campanian time of the Late Cretaceous. 5 levels of increasing the role of Pinus and its species diversity for the flora and vegetation of the Cenozoic were also established: Oligocene time of the Paleogene, Konkian-early Sarmatian time of the Middle Miocene; early Pontian (Ivankov) time of the Late Miocene; early Kimmerian time (early Sevastopol) of the Early Pliocene and Martonosha time of the Early Neopleistocene. Certain levels have been traced for the similar age of Cenozoic flora of Belarus and Russia.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the methodology for determining the European quality of life index. The theoretical and methodological basis of research is the ideas of the interdependence of life quality and sustainable development. To achieve the desired goal, the following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis (for determining theoretical and practical aspects of ensuring the life quality); statistical (for determining standardized indicators and a European Quality of Life Index for Sweden and Ukraine); abstract-logical (for theoretical summarization and conclusion). As a result, the authors created the European Quality of Life Index based on the comparison of the characteristics of international life quality assessment systems (calculation principle, number and composition of indicators, number of countries covered for calculation), as well as systematization of research by Ukrainian and foreign authors. Therefore, the authors selected twelve main indicators. The indicators are divided into two groups: stimulants (prosperity index, basic human needs index, welfare bases, availability of nutrition and basic health care, GDP per capita, population, global competitiveness index, personal security, access to basic knowledge, ecosystem status) and disincentive (government debt, unemployment). To determine the “European life quality index”, the authors used the formula for calculating the arithmetic mean, as all selected indicators can be considered equivalent as a result of standardization by the method of “minimum- maximum”. In addition, for in-depth analysis, the authors calculated the growth rates of indicators, as well as coefficients of variation. The authors made calculations based on data of 2013–2019 for two countries, namely Sweden and Ukraine. Sweden occupies a much better position in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, so studying the impact of life quality on sustainable development in this country will suggest ways to achieve the chosen strategic priorities for Ukraine.
A política de emprego no Brasil e no Chile
Authors: Oliveira Ednéia Alves de , Vidal Paula
Published: December 2021

Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa documental sobre as políticas de emprego no Brasil e no Chile no período de 2013-2018. Trata-se de uma análise comparativa sobre as políticas supramencionadas e, embora algumas particularidades do desenvolvimento do capitalismo em ambos os países, os resultados nos permitem considerar que a política de emprego está submetida a uma lógica comum, pois seguem parâmetros propostos pelas agências multilaterais e estão subordinadas à dinâmica de crescimento econômico fundomonetarista. Portanto, configuram-se como medidas paliativas, mantendo a pobreza e a desigualdade social como traço marcante na formação social dos países em tela.

English for Specific Purposes in tertiary level puts its importance to Need Analysis (NA) process for syllabus design. This present research is concerned with designing ESP syllabus for Mechanical Engineering students in tertiary level through need analysis. The research aims to identify the immediate needs of the Mechanical Engineering students and design appropriated syllabus based on students’ needs using Target Situation Analysis (TSA) and Present Situation Analysis (PSA). In order to achieve the research’s objectives, a questionnaire was administered to a total 50 respondents. The finding of the research shows that among 4 basic English skills, listening skill emerged as the most important skill that students’ really need, followed by speaking, reading, and writing.

The study shows that the use of information and communications technology resources assist the students to learn mathematics. It also develops the office content, skill to interpret, know and solve mathematical problems from everyday situation to students
Sorry, not sorry
Authors: Licata Gabriella
Published: December 2021

Right-wing populism emboldens its members to publicly challenge those they find threatening to white conservative frameworks, e.g. progressive female politicians of colour. I critically analyse how Republican Ted Yoho uses discursive agency to deliver infelicitous statements in response to the diatribe he directed at Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in July 2020. Guided by the principles of citationality (Derrida 1988), I utilise image repair theory (Benoit 1997) to reveal how Yoho minimises the alleged offences he committed by redirecting his rant at policy, not person. This allows Yoho to issue non-apologies and – in line with right-wing populism – villainize Ocasio-Cortez and elevate himself and his party. Both Democrats and Republicans deemed Yoho's apology ‘appropriate’, resulting in unfavourable perlocutionary effects for female politicians of colour. The dismissal of Yoho's offences highlights the normalisation of violent language directed at women of colour, revealing how white supremacy and toxic masculinity are normalised aspects of US media ecology.

Dyplomata, Polak, minister spraw zagranicznych. Agenor Gołuchowski młodszy w karykaturze wiedeńskich pism satyrycznych
Authors:   Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, Polska, Strzelczyk Agata
Published: December 2021

The aim of the article is to analyze the image of Agenor Gołuchowski in the light of caricatures published in Viennese satirical magazines (1895–1906). Agenor Gołuchowski the younger (1849–1921) was the only Pole in the position of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria- Hungary (1895–1906). More than once, he became the object of mockery in newspapers such as “Kikeriki!”, “Wiener Caricaturen”, or “Der Floh”. The article focuses on how Gołuchowski was portrayed in caricatures and on what aspects of his identity they were focused. Caricatures are a contribution to reflection on racial and national stereotypes in Viennese satire and the mentality of the late nineteenth century.
W trosce o pamięć wieszcza. Lwów w obchodach sprowadzenia zwłok Adama Mickiewicza do Krakowa – 4 lipca 1890
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Polska, Sierżęga Paweł
Published: December 2021

Bringing the poet’s body to Wawel in 1890 became an event of international significance. Due to its multiculturalism, Lviv was of special importance. From the perspective of the administrative capital, the celebrations created an opportunity to build a national unity of a supra-ethnic nature based on Polish culture. On the other hand, they revealed the growing Polish-Ukrainian antagonism. The celebration of bringing the body of A. Mickiewicz to Kraków also became a catalyst for the development of research on the literature of Romanticism.
The First Demographic Transition in Galicia as an element of modernization – Rzeszów against the background of the largest cities in Galicia: Lviv and Kraków
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Polska, Rejman Sabina
Published: December 2021

The article concerns selected aspects of the modernization of Galician society as illustrated by demographic changes in Rzeszów in the 19th century. The subject of the study is the first demographic transition consisting in the reduction of the value of the birth and death rates. In the case of smaller cities, such as Rzeszów, the use of nineteenth-century statistical data raises doubts among historians. The re-analysis, taking into account the current state of research, provides the premises for the conclusion that in Rzeszów at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the symptoms of the first demographic transition were noticeable.
Ewidencja samochodów w Krakowie 1906–1918
Authors:   Muzeum Podgórza Oddział Muzeum Krakowa, Polska, Gaweł Robert
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the issue of car registration by the Krakow Police Directorate in the years 1906–1918 and the registers of this process kept by it. The registration system was based on assigning individual vehicle numbers to each vehicle, consisting of a letter-distinguishing mark and a three-digit number. These registers have been preserved in the resources of the National Archives in Krakow. As of today, they are the only known documents of this type related to the history of the automotive industry in Galicia. Their analysis facilitated the preparation of an inventory of cars registered in Kraków in 1906–1918.
Bohdan Janusz – polsko-ukraiński miłośnik historii i pamiętnikarz o początkach Wielkiej Wojny
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach, Polska, Woś Paweł
Published: December 2021

The article presents the social and political face of Lviv during the First World War, based on the memoirs of Bohdan Janusz. The notes covering the initial period of the war from the perspective of a Polish-Ukrainian researcher of the culture and past of Lviv and Eastern Galicia present not only the strong emotional context of the described events, but also fully reflect the atmosphere in the city. The diversification of the transmission of the ego-documents, due to the social status of their author, allows a much closer look at the collective portrait of the inhabitants of Lviv.
Republika kooperatywna jako forma demokracji uczestniczącej
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Polska, Cwynar Katarzyna M.
Published: December 2021

The author, pointing to the assumptions of participatory democracy, emphasises the importance of grassroots social initiatives in the formation of a democratic society. They are a symptom of the democratic culture of society. These conditions are fulfilled by the concept of a cooperative republic, formulated by the Polish philosopher Edward Abramowski, who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. As a project of socio-political progress, the principles of the cooperative republic are still relevant.
