Authors: Brzáková Pavlína
Published: January 2025

Within seven middle-term stays in the Evenck autonomous circle author had a chance to monitor how the political system affects two central settlements and small locations and nomadic groups as well. Their lifestyle resisted in past two years the growing process of assimilation only with major problems. The conflict of two different cultures strengthened by a several immigration waves influenced al! spheres of life of these people. The loss of identity of the nomads who were forced by socialist government to settle down has made some of them to realize that it is necessary to preserve their culture for next generations. This paper is trying to analyze their attempt to resurrect the spirit of the Evenck people.

Published: January 2025

This article explores and compares the performance and public face of gambling industry, in particular casino resorts, in the Czech Republic (Prague) and American lndian Country (American Indian tribe from Oregon, and Arizona). ln the main body of the article, l explore both Czech and Native American casino settings within six major areas: physical environment, social geography, time, guests and stuff, gender and age, and ethnicity. Analyzing each area, I illuminate what management strategies are used and how they work in attracting the public in both countries . Drawing upon exploration of these six areas, the article discusses the question of what makes the casinos marketable and how the traditional culture of Bohemian and Native American peoples is presented - brokered, using the term of Richard Kurin - in the public performance of these casinos. ln conclusion, I discuss the performative element of Czech and Native American casinos in the context of Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimbletťs destination culture, which is a concept developíng the notion that in order for the tourist industry to thrive, cultural institutions are structured and conceptualized as venues of tourist destination.

Ereignis a smrtelní
Authors: Benyovszky Ladislav
Published: January 2025

The study closes a cycle of six reflections examining the concept of man in philosophy. It interprets Heidegger's concept of man as a mortal being, a concept deliberately clashing with the classing definition of a "reasonable animal." It is based on the interpretation of mortality as an "ability to die" in relation to the lightness (Lichtung) of being, which means to the "Ereignis." Its conclusion suggests that this concept includes in itself as its "decided" form a concept of man as a reasonable animal. It tries to lead the reader to the understanding that the five preceding reflections were nothing but specification of what "mortality" means for Heidegger.

Názory na čarodějnictví u Nigerijců žijících v České republice
Authors: Jeřábková Petra
Published: January 2025

The Nigerian ethnic community is one of the modem ethnic groups in the Czech Republic. Situated in an emerging mosaic of varied cultures, the Nigerian community brings incentives that in many cases do not relate to the system of European culture. A belief in the power of witchcraft is one such cultural area. The question of the importance of magic and witchcraft in the Czech Republic is a central theme for the article. It was examined by qualitative research of Nigerians living in Prague and other Czech cities. Research has shown that the life of Nigerians living in the Czech Republic is not only intertwined with their initial culture. Ingrained by enculturation, the belief in the effectiveness and formative result of witchcraft practices influences their own actions. Nigerians attribute the ability to use magic and witchcraft also to their European or Czech friends, neighbours and colleagues. Thus, when reflecting the reality in a European or Czech context, Nigerians apply the culturally based and reliable concept of worldview.

The relationship between the number of statutes coming into force and the number of regulations coming into force: Findings from empirical studies
Authors: Ciurak Patryk
Published: January 2025

The aim of this paper is to empirically test the opinion, common in legislative practice, that there is a relationship between the number of statutes and the number of regulations, and to measure the strength and nature of this relationship, if it exists. The data used in the study were obtained from the Polish legal database System Informacji Prawnej Lex and were analysed using Spearman’s correlation and negative binomial regression methods. The results confirmed the existence of the abovementioned relationship, which can be described as strong and exponential. An equation was also formulated to predict the number of regulations that will come into force based on the projected number of statutes coming into force in a given month. The results obtained provide an empirical addition to the extensive legal literature on the regulation as a normative act. They also highlight a possible path for the study of law, particularly in comparative law.
Comparative evaluation of peptide vs. protein-based calibration for quantification of cardiac troponin I using ID-LC-MS/MS
Authors: Asicioglu Meltem , Swart Claudia , Saban Evren , Yurek Emrah , Karaguler Nevin Gul , Oztug Merve
Published: January 2025

Objectives

An analytical protocol based on isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS), which includes a peptide-based calibration strategy, was developed and validated for the determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels in clinical samples. Additionally, the developed method was compared with a protein-based calibration strategy, using cTnI serving as a model for low-abundant proteins. The aim is to evaluate new approaches for protein quantification in complex matrices, supporting the metrology community in implementing new methods and developing fit-for-purpose SI- traceable peptide or protein primary calibrators.

Methods

To establish traceability to SI units, peptide impurity correction amino acid analysis (PICAA) was conducted to determine the absolute content of signature peptides in the primary standards. Immunoaffinity enrichment was used to capture cTnI from human serum, with a comparison between microbeads and nanobeads to improve enrichment efficiency. Parallel reaction monitoring was used to monitor two signature peptides specific to cTnI. Various digestion parameters were optimized to achieve complete digestion.

Results

The analytical method demonstrated selectivity and specificity, allowing the quantification of cTnI within 0.9–22.0 μg/L. The intermediate precision RSD was below 28.9 %, and the repeatability RSD was below 5.8 % at all concentration levels, with recovery rates ranging from 87 % to 121 %. The comparison of calibration strategies showed similar LOQ values, but the peptide-based calibration exhibited significant quantitative bias in recovery rates. The data are available via ProteomeXchange (PXD055104).

Conclusions

This isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) method, based on peptide calibration, successfully quantified cTnI in human serum. Comparing this with protein-based calibration highlighted both the strengths and potential limitations of peptide-based strategies.
Bi2O3–BiOCl/poly-m-methyl aniline nanocomposite thin film for broad-spectrum light-sensing
Authors: Ben Gouider Trabelsi Amira , Alkallas Fatemah H. , Kusmartsev Fedor V. , Rabia Mohamed
Published: January 2025

The fabrication of a Bi(iii) oxide-Bi(iii) oxychloride/poly-m-methyl aniline (Bi2O3–BiOCl/PmMA) nanocomposite thin-film optoelectronic device capable of light-sensing across a broad spectrum, spanning both visible and ultraviolet wavelengths, has been accomplished. The synthesis of the composite has been achieved using a one-pot technique involving the direct oxidation of m-methyl aniline with ammonium persulfate ((NH4)2S2O8) in the presence of bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO3)35H2O). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the composite’s high crystallinity and compact size of 41 nm, indicative of excellent optical properties and a narrow bandgap of 2.35 eV. The optical analysis of the synthesized core–shell composite is performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and XRD analysis characterize the fabricated composite’s crystalline structure. The composite has been tested electrically using the CHI608E device, demonstrating its potential for efficient light absorption and photon trapping, making it a promising candidate for advanced light sensing applications.
First graders’ metalinguistic awareness of the societal prestige of the standard variety
Authors: Fehér Krisztina
Published: January 2025

This paper discusses first graders’ linguistic biases in a Hungarian town where both the standard and the local varieties are used. Tests and interviews were conducted to determine whether the children who preferred the standard variety to the local dialect were able to verbalize their biases. In a preceding study conducted in the same town, kindergarteners of both genders preferred the standard variety but could not justify their linguistic choices. The current work showed that children became more judgmental and more aware of their biases in the first year of school. First graders commented on their preferences and followed the adult stereotype when describing the typical local speaker as “older, rural, male”. However, there was no evidence of gendered socialization in the children’s linguistic preferences. The qualitative change in the first graders’ metalinguistic awareness of the prestige of varieties highlights the impact of school on sociolinguistic acquisition.

Published: January 2025

Esta investigación analiza la percepción de un grupo de docentes de educación superior en la Región de Coquimbo, Chile, respecto a la formación continua en inclusión sensorial y su implementación en las prácticas docentes.

Este tema cobra relevancia ante el aumento sostenido de matrículas de estudiantes con discapacidades sensoriales en el sistema de educación superior a nivel nacional. También se identifica la percepción de los docentes en aquellos aspectos de la formación continua en inclusión, que no influyen en su práctica docente.

El propósito del estudio es identificar fortalezas y debilidades en la formación continua en inclusión sensorial ofrecidos por las instituciones de educación superior. Su objetivo es analizar la percepción de docentes de educación superior en la efectividad de la formación continua en inclusión sensorial recibida.

Los objetivos específicos incluyen identificar sus percepciones sobre dicha formación, describir su impacto en el desarrollo docente y comparar los elementos percibidos como menos influyentes.

El estudio se enmarca en un enfoque cualitativo y un paradigma interpretativo, utilizando un diseño de estudio de caso. Se llevó a cabo con un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, seleccionando a seis docentes de educación superior pertenecientes a distintas disciplinas e instituciones, incluidas universidades e institutos profesionales. Los datos se obtuvieron mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y se analizaron conforme a los principios de la Teoría Fundamentada, siguiendo un proceso riguroso de paradigma de codificación y categorización.

Los hallazgos destacan la necesidad de políticas en educación superior que respalden a los docentes mediante formación continua, herramientas accesibles y colaboración interdisciplinaria. Esta formación, alineada con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) N°4 y N°10, fomenta estrategias inclusivas para estudiantes con necesidades sensoriales, promoviendo un sistema educativo equitativo y sostenible.
A seasonal commensalism model with a weak Allee effect to describe climate-mediated shifts
Authors:   Instituto de Física y Matemáticas, Universidad Michoacana, Ciudad Universitaria, C.P. 58040. Morelia, Michoacán, México., Osuna Osvaldo , Villavicencio-Pulido Geiser
Published: January 2025

Climate change is affecting the life cycle of tight interacting species. Commonly, the seasonal population dynamics of species is analyzed through models with periodic rates; however, assuming periodicity in seasonal phenomena which depend on environmental drivers is very restrictive. In this work, we analyze seasonal commensalism between two species in which the per capita growth rate of each species is affected by a weak Allee effect and the demographic and ecological rates are assumed almost periodic. To do this, we construct and analyze an almost periodic model to describe commensalism using a wide family of functions that describe weak Allee effects and the benefits granted by the interaction. We prove that the model admits a unique almost periodic global attractor for a wide family of functions. Numerical simulations of the solutions of the model shown the result proved in this work. We show that if periodic rates are used when the phenomenon is really almost periodic, underestimation or overestimation of the population size of both species can occur, which can lead to design wrong strategies by the decision makers.
Formas normales de campos vectoriales inducidos por acciones holomorfas del grupo SL(2,C) sobre una variedad compleja
Authors:   Instituto de Matemática y Ciencias Afines, Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Perú., Ostos Cordero Benito Leonardo
Published: January 2025

In this work, we study actions of the Lie group SL(2,C) on a complex manifold of dimension three or higher.
It is demonstrated that these types of actions induce three complete holomorphic vector fields, one of which is periodic, and that there exists a particular relationship between them, given by the Lie bracket, which generates a singular holomorphic foliation of codimension two. Subsequently, the types of singularities are classified, and the normal forms of these vector fields are obtained in a neighborhood of each singular point of the foliation.

Partial differential equations (PDE’s) are, we believe, little known in our country, especially at a medium-advanced level, in particular, their historical roots and methods developed in their evolution. The objective of this article is to contribute to a knowledge in this direction especially to colleagues and students who are interested in studying and researching in this central Branch of mathematics. As a model we have chosen H¨ormander’s book, [1], whose study and teaching will be a sign of great progress in this direction in our country. In this article we only give an introduction to part I dedicated to functional analysis and which includes chapters I and II that deal with the theory of distributions and some special spaces of distributions, respectively.
Existence and construction of the Peano selection for a multivalued function
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Trujillo, Trujillo, La Libertad, Perú., Delgado V. Rosario D.
Published: January 2025

In the present article, the necessary conditions are presented for a multivalued function in order to define a Peano selection. To achieve this, a bibliographic review was carried out on general results of compact topological spaces, open and closed sets and continuity. To then address the same topics, but on metric spaces. Next, the theory of multivalued functions was studied, specifically semicontinuity, both superiorly and inferiorly. Finally, using the General Theorem of multivalued functions, the necessary conditions are determined for the multivalued function, F : [0, 1]-->[0, 1] × [0, 1] to admit the construction of the selection of Peano.
Assessing the Impact of Nutritional Knowledge and Information Sources on the Sports Performance of Elite Ethiopian Track Athletes: Insights for Optimized Sports Nutrition
Authors: Taye Abdi Gudeta , Singh Ajita D
Published: January 2025

Background. Proper nutrition is essential for maximizing athletic performance. Athletes with a high level of nutritional knowledge are more likely to adopt healthy dietary habits, positively impacting their performance. Understanding where athletes obtain nutritional information is crucial, as these sources influence dietary practices and performance.
Objectives. The study aimed to inform a culturally tailored nutritional strategy for Ethiopian athletes.
Materials and methods. A descriptive study was conducted with 301 randomly selected athletes from 10 sports clubs. Data on nutritional knowledge and information sources were gathered through validated questionnaires (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.844 and 0.802, respectively). SPSS version 26 was used to analyze data via descriptive and inferential statistics, including correlation, regression, and ANOVA at a significance level of 0.05.
Results. The average scores for nutritional information sources and knowledge were 3.17 (SD = 1.19) and 3.09 (SD = 1.33), indicating moderate adherence. A strong correlation was found between information sources and performance (R = 0.723, p < 0.001), as well as a moderate correlation between nutritional knowledge and performance (R = 0.629, p = 0.000), explaining 79.2% of performance variance. Regression analysis showed that both factors had a significant effect on performance.
Conclusions. Nutritional knowledge and credible information sources are critical in enhancing athletes’ performance. The study highlights the need for improved nutrition education among Ethiopian track athletes to promote better dietary practices and performance.
Restoration of Lost Functions in Students after Blast Traumatic Brain Injuries in the Process of Inclusive Physical Education
Authors: Blavt Oksana , Herasymenko Oleksandr
Published: January 2025

Background. It has been determined that the main task of higher education today is to solve the problem of providing students who have been injured as a result of war with opportunities along with higher education and rehabilitation conditions.
Objectives. The purpose of the article is to determine the effectiveness of the developed program of inclusive physical education on the restoration of dynamic balance functions in students after blast traumatic brain injury.
Materials and methods. The research combined theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and empirical methods (pedagogical experiment, testing). Testing was realized using the Dynamic Gait Index and the method of stabilization. The experiment, which was realized during the academic year in the academic course of physical education, involved 30 male students after explosive traumatic brain injury, provided there were no complications.
Results. The developed program of inclusive physical education after blast traumatic brain injury is presented. The content of the program is aimed at providing maximum opportunities for differentiation of the educational process and implementation of an individual approach in its implementation. The results of the test control of students of the studied sample before the beginning of classes testified to significant deviations in the state of the studied parameters. According to the evaluation of the obtained control data, the studied indicators did not reach the level of «average», which is a consequence of the influence of blast traumatic brain injury on the state of dynamic balance and gait parameters. The final testing showed a difference in the studied parameters in response to the implementation of the proposed innovations. A statistically significant improvement was observed in determining the progress and effectiveness of the studied parameters of gait and balance in the range of 10-19.6 %.
Conclusions. For the first time, we have implemented a study of students after blast traumatic brain injury, in which we directly controlled the violation of dynamic balance and gait in inclusive physical education. The results obtained are evidence that strategies and approaches will be effective, efficient and lead to the desired result in the case of improving practical methods to develop a reliable evidence base.
Implications and Critiques of Quantitative Research: A Systematic Review
Authors: Sapkota Mahendra
Published: January 2025

Objectives. The study aimed to critically examine challenging notions and attributes embedded with quantitative research from a social science perspective.
Materials and methods. Following a systematic review, this study assessed key gaps and contestations revealed in scientific readings published by highly indexed journals and more cited referred texts. The primary analytical question included conceptualizing quantitative methods and highlighting different dimensions of ontology, validity, reliability, generalizability, and ethical implications.
Results. The quantitative method is widely used in most scientific fields, translating the research findings into strategic analysis through statistical and experimental frameworks. Despite this scope, the results of this study indicate that the quantitative method has some limitations and dilemmas, which could limit our appreciation and understanding of human behaviour and social phenomena in the subjective world. While adding to the base of empirical knowledge, quantitative research has been criticized for an inadequate approach to capturing complex social phenomena, dependence on rigid assumptions, and vulnerability to contextual factors. Reflecting on these limitations of current quantitative methods informs both directions for advancing existing measurement approaches and integrating alternative strategies.
Conclusions. This study concludes that the quantitative method’s implications are rational, though not universal. The deterministic approach of quantitative methodology can dilute the understanding of the subjective world due to its inclination towards absolute realities. Therefore, the study underscores the need for methodological pluralism, encouraging scholars, researchers, and students in social sciences and related fields to be open-minded and receptive to alternative research approaches and multi-method strategies for a more comprehensive understanding of human behaviour and social phenomena.

A Comprehensive Survey on Models Used for Acnegenesi
Authors: Nituporna Bora , Jutirani Devi
Published: January 2025

Acne vulgaris is a widespread chronic inflammatory skin illness that is primarily caused by inflammation, irregular skin cell turnover inside hair follicles, increased sebum production, and Propionibacterium acnes bacterial overgrowth. This comprehensive overview examines the intricate causes of acne vulgaris. The paper highlights the significant role of genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, and environmental factors in acne development. Various in vivo and in vitro models, including mouse ear edema, rat models, and advanced techniques like 3D bioprinting and organ-on-a-chip systems, are discussed for their utility in studying acne pathogenesis and testing therapeutic interventions. The review underscores the importance of integrating diverse models to enhance understanding of acne mechanisms and improve treatment strategies, while also acknowledging the limitations of current models in replicating the complexity of human skin. Future research should focus on refining these models to better capture the multifactorial nature of acne and facilitate the development of effective, targeted therapies.
Competencia Digital en alumnado del Máster de Formación de Profesorado. Diferencias con base en el género, la edad y la especialización
Authors: Cepa-Rodríguez Estibaliz , Lancha-Villamayor Vanesa
Published: January 2025

Digital competence (DC) among education professionals is a very popular object of study in approaches oriented towards educational innovation. This study aims to analyse digital skills and relate them to sociodemographic characteristics in a sample of future teachers. Participants were 154 Teacher Training Master's Degree students. The Questionnaire for Studying the Digital Competence of Higher Education Students (CDAES) was used to measure DC. The results reveal that future teachers have a medium-low level in the different dimensions of DC. Specifically, they scored highly for basic tasks associated mainly with ‘Digital Literacy’, although shortcomings were observed in activities related to ‘Creativity and Innovation’ and ‘Critical Thinking’. The results also revealed that DC decreases as age increases, and that students coming from Social Science degrees had the lowest CD indexes, whereas those from Technology and the Natural Science had the highest scores. There is a need for DC training plans that include personalised innovative educational strategies, or in other words, strategies specifically adapted to the characteristics of different university degrees.
Phubbing as a Social Norm: Effects on Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and Perceived Exclusion
Authors: Albalá-Genol Miguel Ángel , Etchezahar Edgardo , Gómez-Yepes Talía , Ungaretti Joaquin
Published: January 2025

Technology and social media have transformed the way we communicate, interact, and stay informed. Phubbing is a term that comes from two words «phone» and «snubbing» and represents the act of ignoring a person in a real life setting by paying attention to their cell phone. This behavior may be normalized or cause social difficulties in certain situations. The aim of this study was to analyze the levels of normative behavior and their relations with FoMO, feelings of social exclusion and the phubbing perceived scale. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and the participants were 1506 people in Argentina (50.79% identified as women and 49.21% as men), with an age range between 18 and 65 years old who completed an online survey. The results confirmed that phubbing is perceived as normative behavior in most of the participants, representing a predictor of phubbing in their social interactions. Relations were also found between the perceived normative phubbing and levels of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and feelings of social exclusion. Implications of the variables studied are discussed as possible predictors of phubbing and are to be considered in its approach. The study examines phubbing as a normative behavior in Argentina. No previous studies have been carried out in our country that consider Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), Feelings of Social Exclusion and Perceived Phubbing as predictor variables.
El uso de GeoGebra en la enseñanza de conceptos matemáticos: prácticas, barreras y percepciones docentes
Authors: Dubarbie-Fernández Luis , Barreras Álvaro , Oller-Marcén Antonio M.
Published: January 2025

The use of GeoGebra in teaching mathematics has grown significantly in recent years, so this study aims to explore the use of this software by teachers in teaching the limit of a function. For this purpose, a questionnaire has been designed and validated and has been answered by 129 mathematics teachers. The data have been analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively with the objective of knowing obstacles to the use of GeoGebra and to the development of own applets, to identify the most outstanding characteristics of the GeoGebra applets for teaching the limit and to determine the moments of the process of teaching-learning in which this tool is used. Thus, a limited use of GeoGebra in teaching the limit and a very low percentage of teachers who develop their own applets has been identified, mainly due to the absence of technological resources and the lack of knowledge. Furthermore, interactivity and the possibility of using various representation systems of the limit are revealed as the characteristics most valued by teachers. Finally, GeoGebra is especially used when showing examples and barely used in the evaluation process.

Żydzi i pamięć o nich we współczesnej toponimii Polski (rekonesans)
Authors: Bijak Urszula
Published: January 2025

Przedmiotem artykułu są współczesne polskie nazwy geograficzne pochodzące od etnonimu Żyd oraz innych leksemów związanych z kulturą żydowską. Materiał został zaczerpnięty z „Państwowego Rejestru Nazw Geograficznych” i porównany z danymi historycznymi. Analiza kilkuset toponimów wywodzących się od leksemów – „domniemanych nośników pamięci Żydów”, wykazała, że nie wszystkie one mają związek z elementami kultury żydowskiej. Niewątpliwie nośnikami pamięci o Żydach są liczne nazwy geograficzne wywodzące się od podstawy Żyd-, przymiotnika żydowski oraz mniej liczne od leksemów: bóżnica, ki(e)rkut, okopisko, rabin, od choronimu Palestyna. Są one świadectwem osadnictwa żydowskiego, praw własności, tragicznych wydarzeń z okresu II wojny światowej, dokumentują miejsca modlitwy, miejsca schronienia i miejsca pochówku. Toponimy te są przedmiotem trwałej, zapisanej pamięci zbiorowej Polaków.

Authors: Rutkiewicz-Hanczewska Małgorzata , Walkowiak Justyna B.
Published: January 2025

Mimo że skwery istniały w miastach polskich od dawna, nazwy własne zaczęto im nadawać dopiero w obecnym stuleciu. W kraju istnieje obecnie blisko półtora tysiąca nazwanych tego typu obiektów; ich liczba stale wzrasta, a prowadzone przez lokalne samorządy banki nazw oczekujących na wykorzystanie wciąż się rozrastają. Obserwacja tego procesu nominacji to rodzaj naturalnego eksperymentu społecznego, w którym nazwa miejska w znacznym stopniu uwalnia się od tradycyjnie jej przypisywanej dotąd funkcji pragmatycznej oraz wiążących się z tą funkcją ograniczeń, dotyczących np. długości, łatwości artykulacyjnej, spójności z gniazdem semantycznym czy jednoznaczności adresowej. Przedmiotem artykułu jest synchroniczna analiza wszystkich nazw skwerów Polski w ujęciu terytorialnym oraz w podziale na kategorie semantyczne. Tekst odpowiada na pytania, czy istnieją miasta lub województwa, gdzie są one bardziej popularne, oraz jakie tendencje motywacyjne ich nominacji przeważają. Ocenie podlega także społeczny odbiór ich powstawania (na wybranych przykładach), a niekiedy towarzyszące mu kontrowersje i spory. Autorki zastanawiają się zarazem, na jakie potrzeby społeczne odpowiada kreacja nazw skwerów, i jaka może być przyszłość oraz późniejsze konsekwencje tej nowej mody nazewniczej.
Imiona wozów tramwajowych – powrót do tematu
Authors: Tomasik Piotr
Published: January 2025

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie losu nazw wagonów tramwajowych. Autor podejmuje temat po dekadzie od poprzednich badań. Nadawanie imion tramwajom stało się popularnym zwyczajem w wielu polskich miastach. Wyekscerpowany w badaniach terenowych materiał poddany został analizie onomastycznej włączającej analizę językową, kulturową, funkcjonalną. W pracy wykorzystano metody używane podczas badań innych porejonimów, przede wszystkim nazw pociągów i połączeń kolejowych. Analizowany materiał porównywany jest do nazw miejskich placów i traktów. Rezultatem badań jest konstatacja, iż najbardziej popularnym systemem nadawania imion tramwajom w Polsce jest nadawanie im patronów, tj. przenoszenie imienia i nazwiska znanej osoby na imię tramwaju. W miastach, w których próbowano zastosować inne systemy, zwyczaj nadawania imion nie przyjął się. Szczególną sytuację można obserwować w konurbacji górnośląskiej.
Nazwy własne w przekładzie filmowym: „Za jakie grzechy, dobry Boże?”
Authors: Chrobak Marzena
Published: January 2025

Artykuł ma na celu opis oraz ocenę postępowania z nazwami własnymi w polskim przekładzie słynnej francuskiej komedii filmowej Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? Philippe’a de Chauverona (2014). Materiał badawczy został wybrany ze względu na różnorodność funkcji pełnionych przez onimy, a zwłaszcza ze względu na zastosowanie antroponimów jako inwektyw w celu wytworzenia efektu komicznego. Wyodrębniono dziewięć technik postępowania z nazwami własnymi w przekładzie (tłumaczenie, przeniesienie, wytłumaczenie, zastąpienie ustalonym odpowiednikiem w języku docelowym, zastąpienie odpowiednikiem funkcjonalnym, zastąpienie inną nazwą własną, zastąpienie nazwą pospolitą, zastosowanie techniki mieszanej, opuszczenie) i wprowadzono dwuczłonową ocenę postępowania tłumacza (ustalenie, czy zastosował właściwą technikę, ustalenie, czy zastosował ją prawidłowo). Zaproponowana metoda krytyczna uwzględnia złożoną naturę onimów (posiadających dwie postaci: foniczną i graficzną, znaczenie, styl i funkcje, pozostających w pewnym związku z nosicielem), a także polisemiotyczność badanego utworu. Ustalono, że polski tłumacz Piotr Zieliński, autor wersji lektorskiej do filmu Za jakie grzechy (2014), dobrze poradził sobie z oddaniem znaczenia, funkcji i stylu nazw własnych.
Badania onomastyczne a nowa humanistyka
Authors: Rejter Artur
Published: January 2025

Artykuł dotyczy możliwości poszerzenia zakresu badań z zakresu onomastyki o założenia nowej humanistyki, które stanowią: przeciwstawienie się specjalizacji ograniczonej do jednej ściśle wyodrębnionej dyscypliny lub subdyscypliny naukowej; interdyscyplinarność i transdyscyplinarność badań naukowych, holistyczność ujęć, co umożliwia nowe spojrzenie na zjawiska związane z kulturą, historią, literaturą czy sztuką; oparcie na nowoczesnym instrumentarium badawczym, takim jak analiza big data, sztuczna inteligencja czy programowanie komputerowe; zastosowanie nauki w praktyce, dążność do wykorzystania odkryć i wniosków w celu rozwiązywania realnych problemów społecznych i kulturowych. Koncepcję wskazania aliansów onomastyki i nowej humanistyki oparto na propozycji Ryszarda Nycza, który w obrębie nowej humanistyki wyróżnia: humanistykę cyfrową, humanistykę zaangażowaną, humanistykę kognitywną, posthumanistykę i humanistykę artystyczną. W każdej z tych domena nowej humanistyki wskazano możliwości prowadzenia badań nad nazwami własnymi. Przeprowadzone obserwacje prowadzą do konkluzji: 1. wnioski wynikające z badań nad nazwami własnymi są nie tylko ważne dla nauki jako konstruktu abstrakcyjnego, ale także dla praktyki, 2. onomastyka powinna być traktowana przede wszystkim jako subdyscyplina lingwistyki i szerzej – humanistyki, stanowiąca źródło wiedzy o kulturze, 3. oprócz opisu i interpretacji zjawisk odnoszących się do samego języka i komunikacji, onomastyka powinna dążyć do formułowania wniosków diagnostycznych i perspektywicznych, naświetlających aktualne problemy człowieka i świata, a także uwrażliwiających na nie, 4. koniecznym założeniem jest pielęgnowanie i pogłębianie otwarcia metodologicznego onomastyki na inne subdyscypliny, dyscypliny i dziedziny nauki, jej zorientowanie na postawione pytanie a nie na narzędzia, które miałyby zostać użyte do udzielenia odpowiedzi, 5. refleksja onomastyczna w obrębie poszczególnych domen nowej humanistyki potwierdza czasami ich krzyżowanie się, a tym samym komplementarność i szansę na ujęcie holistyczne danego problemu.
Internetowy słownik nazwisk w Polsce - historia, przyszłość, odbiór społeczny
Authors: Górny Halszka
Published: January 2025

W artykule przypomniano najważniejsze cele i założenia „Internetowego słownika nazwisk w Polsce” (ISNP) i jego rolę w popularyzacji wiedzy o nazwisku, wskazano elementy składające się na strukturę artykułu hasłowego, a także przedstawiono plany dotyczące rozbudowy antroponomastykonu o kolejne nazwiska według malejącej frekwencji użycia. Uwagę poświęcono jednak przede wszystkim zagadnieniu społecznego odbioru słownika, przybliżając dane statystyczne dotyczące aktywności jego użytkowników, omawiając problemy poruszane w listach (e-mailach) kierowanych do zespołu autorskiego, a także sygnalizując duże zainteresowanie mediów słownikiem nazwisk.
Nazwy własne jako „leksemy kulturowe” na polskich pograniczach wewnętrznych
Authors: Kurek Halina
Published: January 2025

Przedmiotem artykułu są nomina propria (imiona, nazwiska, nazwy miejscowe i terenowe, chrematonimy), o proweniencji wołoskiej lub łemkowskiej, występujące na tzw. wewnętrznych pograniczach Polski w lokalnych polskich gwarach (oraz w polszczyźnie ogólnej) i pełniące funkcję „pogranicznych leksemów kulturowych”. Opisywane pogranicza to tereny leżące w Beskidzie Niskim (zwłaszcza Dukielszczyzna) oraz w Beskidzie Sądeckim (okolice Piwnicznej) zamieszkiwane po sąsiedzku (obecnie lub tylko do czterdziestych lat XX wieku) przez wiejską ludność polską i łemkowską. Występujące tu leksemy kulturowe to językowe łącza decydujące nie tylko o odrębności kulturowej badanego obszaru, lecz przede wszystkim o tworzeniu poczucia wspólnoty ludności pogranicza, która, bez względu na przynależność narodową, potrafi dzięki nim zrozumieć lokalny świat znaczeń i wartości.

Objective: Though previous studies have assessed both COVID-19 outcomes in pregnancy and racial disparities among non-pregnant patients with COVID-19, few have specifically investigated racial disparities among pregnant patients with COVID-19. The objective of this study is to explore the potential association between race and disparate COVID-19 risk in pregnancy.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed using data collected as part of the COVID-19 in Pregnancy and The Newborn: State of Michigan Collaborative, an established database of pregnant patients admitted to 14 institutions in Southern Michigan. Cases were defined as patients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result. Controls, those who had no symptoms of COVID-19 prior to universal screening or a negative PCR test, were matched to cases on the same unit within 30 days of each case. For this analysis, the independent variable was race, with maternal age, body mass index (BMI), chronic hypertension, diabetes, asthma, substance use, and smoking included as a potential covariates- in a robust Poisson regression model, and COVID-19 status (COVID or non-COVID) used as the primary dependent variable. In addition, symptomatology (an aggregate of eighteen symptoms) and disease severity (mild/moderate/severe) were compared between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White patients using the same statistical method.

Results: Of 1,131 non-Hispanic gravidas, 42.9% (n=485) self-identified as Black. These patients were at two-fold greater risk for COVID-19 compared with their non-Hispanic White counterparts [35.9% vs. 18.3%, RR=1.96(1.6-2.4)]. After adjusting for the risk factors mentioned, only obesity and diabetes independently contributed, in addition to race (aRR 1.96[1.57-2.35]). There was no difference between non-Hispanic Black and White groups with COVID-19 in either symptomatology or severity of disease presentation.

Conclusions: There is disparity in the risk of COVID-19 during pregnancy between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic white patients. This disparity is not explained by a range of covariate risk factors. Thus, other kinds of determinants, such as social determinants of health, will need to be examined to fully understand this disparity. In addition to increased susceptibility to infection, our analysis will further delve into examining disparities in treatment and outcome within our sample.
Breast Cancer Decision Support: Expert Systems vs. Machine Learning – have we thrown the baby out with the bathwater?

Background and Aim: Machine learning enabled clinical decision support systems offer the potential to enhance the efficiency of decision-making processes in breast cancer multidisciplinary team meetings. We examine the circumstances where a traditional rule-based expert system may have advantages over machine learning enabled clinical decision support systems.

Methods: We compared the concordance of an expert system (Deontics) and a machine learning enabled clinical decision support system (Watson for Oncology) with the treatment recommendations of a gold standard consensus panel of breast surgeons and medical oncologists for 208 non-metastatic breast cancer patients, and for 165 patients deemed eligible for triage to an agreed standard of care, and ‘not for discussion at multidisciplinary team meeting’.

Results: The overall concordance between the Deontics clinical decision support system treatment plan recommendations and the gold standard consensus panel was 98% compared to 92% for the machine learning enabled clinical decision support system. Using a clinical decision tree, 79% of patients were eligible for triage to a standard of care and ‘not for discussion at multidisciplinary team meetings’; for these patients the concordance between the Deontics clinical decision support system and gold standard consensus panel was 98.8% (95% CI: 95.6-99.8%), whilst for the machine learning enabled clinical decision support system concordance was 78.8% (95% CI: 71.7-84.8%).

Conclusion: The high level of agreement between the Deontics clinical decision support system and clinical consensus suggests it may be acceptable for use in the breast multidisciplinary team pathway, whereas the level of disagreement observed for the machine learning enabled clinical decision support system would result in a clinically unsafe error rate if used to triage patients away from the multidisciplinary team meetings. These findings, if replicated in prospective studies in a routine clinical setting, could improve the efficiency of UK breast cancer diagnostic and treatment pathways.
