The Dreyfus case in the context of the questioned document examination
No full textThe Dreyfus case is a significant reference in forensic handwriting analysis due to the numerous elements that make it one of the most important cases in the study of questioned documents. The only incriminating piece of evidence against Dreyfus was the bordereau, an anonymous handwritten letter that has become the most analysed document in the world. This case underwent several judicial processes, including two court-martials against Captain Dreyfus and one against Commander Esterhazy, as well as a criminal trial against writer Émile Zola and numerous legal appeals. In total, more than 40 experts from various countries were involved. Few forensic handwriting experts and graphologists of the time did not weigh in on the case, and many published studies comparing the handwriting of the bordereau with that of Dreyfus and Esterhazy.  
Integrated expertise in legal psychology with the use of handwritten document analysis
No full textPsychological expertise in the legal context is complex because traditionally used instruments may be less reliable. Therefore, experts must be cautious when evaluating typical questionnaire-based self-assessment tests. This is because of known issues such as systematic biases, natural subjectivity, context-dependency, social desirability, and ambiguity of questionnaire items. It is important to use clear and concise language, avoid biased or emotional language, and maintain a formal register. Tests should be combined with other methods in the legal context due to the potential untrustworthiness of respondents. Handwriting analysis is a nonverbal and external assessment that can add objectivity and reliability when applied in a formalized and validated manner. Furthermore, analysing handwritten documents can help evaluate a person’s cognitive condition, especially in their absence, which is often crucial in legal cases. The article demonstrates the integration of the computer-aided HSDetect system, which uses handwriting-based methods, with psychometric instruments such as the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI), Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), and Leonhard–Shmishek Test (LST) on real cases. It discusses the methodological aspects and problems of integrating these methods
Securing the old age with real estate
No full textThis paper investigates the role of real estate as a potential source of retirement security for homeowners, focusing on the perceptions and attitudes of property owners. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative individual-in-depth interviews with quantitative analysis of data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE).
The findings reveal that additional real estate is primarily viewed as an investment asset, a means of allocating surplus capital, and a source of passive income. Property owners attribute a high level of confi dence and security to their real estate, considering it signifi cant financial support, particularly in relation to anticipated future pension benefits. The property is rarely seen as a potential inheritance, with owners planning to leverage their real estate assets in their retirement years. The study provides insights into housing tenure and ownership of other real estate across European countries, revealing notable differences in ownership rates and income from real estate. In Poland, younger groups (50–64) are more active in receiving income from other real estate, while older groups are more passive. The findings reflect wealth and economic activity in each country, with noticeable variation in Poland due to historical and economic changes. The quantitative analysis of SHARE data sheds light on the complex relationship between real estate and retirement security, offering valuable insights for policymakers and individuals planning for their retirement
Theatre as the machinery of political propaganda
No full textIn this article I try to examine the role of the theatre in serving the political propaganda, using the example of Lift: The Slobodan Show, produced by the People’s Theatre of Prishtina (Narodno Pozoriste Pristina), “temporarily relocated in Belgrade”, an agit-prop show that attempts to revise history, and to rehabilitate Milošević’s criminal past. I also describe how difficult the cultural struggle in Serbia is for artists from the “other camp,” those who take a liberal approach and who are critical of war and chauvinist politics. I conclude that the social and political stability of the Balkan troubled region relies on the intensification of cultural exchange, the installation of a critical mindset towards the past and the present, and eventually, the arrival of new, more open-minded, progressive, and emancipated political classes. But I argue that changing the future course of the region is still deeply linked to Serbia. Because just as it has been a source and exporter of crises, Serbia is also the key potential source for eventual peace and prosperity in the region
Serbian comfort: Transformation of genre as ideological transition. Plays of Maja Pelević (“Orange Peel”), Tanja Šljivar (“Scratching or: How My Grandmother Killed Herself”) and Dimitrije Kokanov (“Movement [Technology and Choreography of Fear]”)
No full textThe topic of this paper is the relationship between the type of critical engagement and the type of genre model used by the Serbian playwrights in the first two decades of the 21st century. The first dimension of analysis is the application of the satirical mode in the treatment of the problem of the modern emancipated urban woman faced with double pressure – ideals imposed by the petty- bourgeois spirit and consumerism mentality, embodied in machines for “body production” – the cosmetic treatment, plastic surgery, and multimedia mechanisms. The second level of this relationship considers the way in which the situation of a group of schoolchildren, burdened by war traumas, poverty and a sense of loss, is presented through an allegorical pattern as a ritual of self-destruction. Finally, on the third level, we analyse the dramatic method which, adding to the problem of the individual and the collective, the phenomena of the “non-human” and the “superhuman” through the genre of the parable, views the modern man as a creature that is absolutely endangered, but also as a creature that absolutely endangers the world around him

No full textRisk factors in creative services (the analysis of interior design services)
Get PDFThe purchase of services, particularly creative ones, is perceived as bearing a higher consumer risk than the purchase of goods. Creative services are characterised by a high degree of the service provider’s creativity and their central role in the creative process. This indicates the importance of deepening knowledge about the factors that constitute consumer risk concerning the service provider. The author of the article refers to this type of risk as a subjective risk. So far the phenomenon has not been acknowledged, so an attempt was made to explore and defi ne it. Accordingly, research was conducted among those who have used interior design services. It was a qualitative research based on the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The problems and research questions that the article focuses on are: criteria for evaluating the service provider, their key competence, potential losses and concerns of service recipients related to the interior design process. The accumulated data made it possible to separate the perceived subjective risk, embodied in the person of the interior designer, from the subjective risk, related to the material output of the interior design service. The study confi rmed the existence of subjective risk which is associated—among other things—with the designer’s knowledge, their soft skills and the pivotal role the service provider plays in the creative process. The results of the study provided a basis for systematizing the subjective risk factors into two groups: soft and professional competence. Thereby, the research gap in the fi eld of subjective consumer risk was fi lled. The empirical part of the article was supplemented by the theoretical considerations, introducing the terms such as creative economy, creative services and the concept of consumer risk
Represje niemieckie wobec dzieci polskich robotnic przymusowych na przykładzie działalności przytułków w Kreis Verden
Get PDFThe article constitutes an attempt to discuss the activities of the Nazi foreign children nurseries (ger. Ausländerkinder-Pflegestätte) in the Verden district of Lower Saxony. Despite the enormous scale of German crimes committed in the area, none of the Polish researchers have tackled this subject so far. The state of research on the matter is exceptionally poor. Not even a partial list of names of children who died in this region has been created, and thus the vast majority of victims remain anonymous. The article also details activities of maternity facilities in the Verden district by analysing conditions of childbirth and puerperium. Living conditions in orphanages for Polish children are also included in the research, with the focus being placed predominantly on one such facility in Cluvenhagen
Planowanie przestrzenne w Polsce w latach 1945–1989
Get PDFCurrently, the leading role in the spatial planning system is fulfilled by the municipality (gmina)—the basic unit of the Polish local administrative division. As a local government unit, it has a wide range of autonomy in this regard, formally referred to as the planning authority. However, spatial planning matters were regulated differently during the authoritarian period of 1945–1989. At that time, spatial planning corresponded to the requirements of the centrally planned state and was also closely linked to its economic planning. This paper aims to present the spatial planning system of the People’s Republic of Poland, while comparing it with key legal solutions utilised today
The Dogmatic and Non-Dogmatic Images of Desire: Plato, Freud, Lacan, and Deleuze (and Guattari)
Get PDFThis article explores the roots of the Deleuzian concept of desire which, as I argue, moves beyond the traditional logic of desire. Initially, the focus is on examining the dogmatic and traditional paradigms accounts of desire grounded in the framework of lack. This is followed by examining a non-dogmatic and nontraditional image of desire, linked to Deleuze’s (and Guattari’s) approach to a new logic of desire in contemporary philosophy. This new logic is deeply rooted in the machinistic production of desire as productive, schizoid, and creative. Throughout this exploration, the goal is to reconstruct Deleuzian or Deleuzoguattarian desire, which challenges the traditional framework of interpreting desire
