The conflict in the Siedlce local government in 1937 with a Russian agent in the background in the light of press reports
Full text linkThe article shows the conflict in the Siedlce local government, which took place over several months in 1937, and whose parties were two groups of councilors - opponents and supporters of vice-president Stanisław Zdanowski. The reason for the antagonism was the assessment of the financial activities of the city management. An important argument put forward by Zdanowski’s opponents was accusing him of employing his brother-in-law in the city services, who turned out to be a Russian agent. The conflict was reported on an ongoing basis by two magazines - “Ziemia Siedlecka” and “Życie Podlasia”. The inhabitants of Siedlce could learn the arguments of both sides. In reporting on the conflict, the editors of both magazines waged a press war with each other, revealing their sympathies. “Ziemia Siedlecka” presented the position of S. Zdanowski’s group, and “Życie Podlasia” presented the position of the opposing party.Artykuł opisuje konflikt w samorządzie siedleckim, rozgrywający się w ciągu kilku miesięcy 1937 r., a którego stronami były dwie grupy radnych – przeciwników i zwolenników wiceprezydenta Stanisław Zdanowskiego. Powodem antagonizmów była ocena działalności finansowej zarządu miasta. Ważnym argumentem wysuwanym przez przeciwników Zdanowskiego było oskarżenie go o zatrudnienie w służbach miejskich swojego szwagra, który okazał się rosyjskim agentem. Konflikt był na bieżąco opisywany przez dwa czasopisma – „Ziemia Siedlecka” i „Życia Podlasia”. Mieszkańcy Siedlec mogli poznać racje obydwu stron. Redakcje czasopism w relacjonowaniu konfliktu prowadziły ze sobą wojnę prasową, ujawniając swoje sympatie. „Ziemia Siedlecka” prezentowała stanowisko grupy S. Zdanowskiego, zaś „Życie Podlasia” strony przeciwnej
Wyrażenia przyimkowe używane zamiast morfologicznie wyrażanego dopełniacza i celownika (na podstawie północnowschodnich gwar języka polskiego, potocznego języka niemieckiego i angielskiego)
Full text linkThe article discusses selected examples of the interplay between prepositional phrases and morphologically marked cases (Genitive and Dative). Section One briefly introduces the concept of prepositions on the basis of data from Polish and English. Prepositions in the two languages show similarities and differences. Because Polish prepositions assign cases, further analogies are drawn between Polish and German (which, similarly to English, is a Germanic language). Section Two focuses on the replacement of Dative with the preposition dla ‘for’ governing Genitive, which phenomenon is characteristic of the north-eastern dialects of Polish in Podlasie (especially in the area of Białystok and Suwałki) and in the Eastern Borderlands. In the same local dialects of Polish, the reverse tendency has been observed. It results in the replacement of dla + Genitive with the Dative case (due to hypercorrectness). The interplay between the two cases is also observable in colloquial German, in which morphologically signalled Genitive is replaced with the preposition von ‘from’ + Dative. The phenomenon is illustrated in Section Three. Finally, Section Four discusses the overlap between Genitive, Dative, and prepositional phrases in other structures in German and English.Artykuł omawia wybrane przykłady wzajemnych współzależności między wyrażeniami przyimkowymi i przypadkami (dopełniacz i celownik), które są wyrażane morfologicznie. Sekcja Pierwsza zwięźle zaznajamia Czytelnika z koncepcją przyimków na podstawie danych z polskiego i angielskiego. Przyimki w obu językach wykazują podobieństwa i różnice. Ponieważ w języku polskim, przyimki rządzą przypadkami, dalsze analogie dotyczą języka polskiego i niemieckiego (który podobnie do angielskiego jest językiem germańskim). Sekcja Druga skupia się na zastępowaniu celownika wyrażeniem z przyimkiem dla, który rządzi dopełniaczem. Zjawisko to jest charakterystyczne dla północno-wschodnich gwar języka polskiego na Podlasiu (szczególnie w okolicach Białegostoku i Suwałk) i Kresach Wschodnich. W tych samych gwarach języka polskiego zaobserwowano odwrotną tendencję. Przejawia się ona tym, że konstrukcja dla + dopełniacz jest zastępowana morfologicznie wyrażanym celownikiem (z powodu hiperpoprawności). Wzajemne oddziaływanie obu przypadków jest także dostrzegalne w potocznym niemieckim, w którym morfologicznie wyrażany dopełniacz jestzastępowany wyrażeniem przyimkowym z von ‘od, z’ + celownik. Zjawisko to jest omówione w Sekcji Trzeciej. W Sekcji Czwartej przytoczone zostały dalsze przykłady wzajemnych podobieństw i różnic między wyrażeniami z dopełniaczem, celownikiem i przyimkami w niemieckim i angielskim
Ale historia!: O pewnym spotkaniu pomiędzy papieżem Piusem XII i ambasadorem RP przy Stolicy Apostolskiej, Kazimierzem Papée (styczeń 1943)
Full text linkSpółdzielczość Południowego Podlasia w XIX wieku – do 1939 r.
Full text linkW artykule przedstawiono oddziaływanie idei spółdzielczej powstawanie pierwszych spółdzielni różnych typów (głównie oszczędnościowo-pożyczkowych, spożywców, rolniczo-handlowych, mleczarskich i innych) na Południowym Podlasiu u schyłku X IX w. a ż po 1939 r. Spółdzielnie, wyrastające z wcześniejszej tradycji filantropijnej, stanowiły przejaw samoorganizacji społeczności lokalnych dla zaspokajania wielu potrzeb bytowych, kształtowały działaczy gospodarczo-społecznych, uczyły zaradności, przedsiębiorczości i współpracy dla wspólnego dobra.This paper presents the influence of economic collaboration ideas and establishing of the firth differentco-ops (mainly saving and credit, consumer, peasant’s trade and supply, dairy and others) on South Podlasie at the end of XIX c. up to 1939 in towns and villages. The centres of co-operatives’ propaganda were also shown. The philanthropic foundations prepared at the beginning the underground for future co-operative associations, created by educated people among nobles, priests, medicines, teachers and – with time going – by peasants’ leaders. Co-ops had served for local societies in everyday needs. They had formed social leaders, had taught remedy and entrepreneurship
Investigating thermal comfort in the Kohandej on Mount Khajeh in Sistan, Iran, based on physiological equivalent temperature
Full text linkKohandej building architecture on Mount Khajeh in Sistan dating back to the Parthian and Sasanian periods were affected by climatic factors. This study aimed to investigate the thermal comfort in this building. The novelty of this study lies in examining building thermal comfort in outdoor, semi-open, and indoor spaces in this historically significant site based on the PET index. Four datalogger stations were located outside the castle as a reference, in the courtyard in the castle, in the semi-open space of the northern iwan, and an indoor space. The study findings revealed that the thermal sensations of the reference and outdoor stations were in an extremely hot status, while the stations in semi-open and enclosed spaces ranged from warm to hot status. Meanwhile, the highest average PET value among the stations in various hours of the day pertained to the outdoor station at 45.92°C, while the lowest rateof 38.34°C pertained to the indoor station. To conclude, the indoor station was in a more desirable thermal comfort status than the outdoor station. The results suggest that the architecture of the castle has lowered the temperature in the interior and in the iwan closer to the thermal comfort levels. While the mean radiant temperature fluctuates within 38.69-49.42 °C in the four stations, the mean PET of the indoor space is lower by 7.58 °C than the outdoor space, and the mean PET of the semi-open space is lower by 4.50 °C than the outdoor space
Russian diplomatic representatives in the Afshars’ state
Full text linkThe issue of studying the history of diplomatic missions, consulates and embassies is particularly important for the study of international relations in the 18th century. In the absence at that time of a tradition of permanent diplomatic embassies in the Afshars’ state, the exchange of missions and the establishment of consulates, together with and diplomatic correspondence were the main forms of establishing and maintaining intergovernmental contacts. This article describes the Afshar and Russian diplomatic missions and consulates.. The paper relies on official and semi-official historiography, contemporary mainly Russian accounts, and archival dates, as well some secondary sources. Considering this data is of utmost importance, as our previous knowledge was predominantly based on Iranian sources, which are highly biased and frequently present a distorted narrative in their content
Ukrainian-Russian relations after the collapse of the Soviet Union
Full text linkRussia’s war against Ukraine has drawn researchers’ attention to Ukrainian-Russian relations. Since the fighting started, a large number of publications have appeared trying to explain what was happening in Ukraine from different perspectives. A historical approach is used in the article to find the answers to two questions; were there ever any chances for good neighborly relations to develop between Ukraine and Russia, and could these relations have led differently than to the military invasion in 2022? The analyses of official documents, statements and speeches of Russian officials, book contents, articles, research in Russian scientific publications and periodicals, and sociological research results lead to the conclusion that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was a logical continuation of the policy that Russia has pursued towards Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union
The Melancholy of an Eastern European. The emotional and affective dominants of Józef Mackiewicz\u27s pre-war reports
Full text linkThis article examines the geocultural conditions of melancholy in the pre-war reportages of Józef Mackiewicz, where melancholy takes two distinct forms. The first one is postcolonial melancholy, which has a social basis and stems from a sense of impossibility resulting from the long durée of the imposed subordination. In the text, this melancholy is expressed through the depiction of emotions experienced by men, usually from the lower social strata. The second kind of melancholy emerges in connection with the descriptions of nature, appearing as a distinctive aura of the Eastern European landscape perceived by the reporter in his encounter with the native environment.This article examines the geocultural conditions of melancholy in the pre-war reportages of Józef Mackiewicz, where melancholy takes two distinct forms.

From exalted emotionality to indifference and scepticism: On emotions in selected contemporary Slovak plays after 1990
Full text linkContemporary Slovak drama is dominated by male characters who are not heroes in the true sense of the word; they undergo a crisis of masculinity and can not face reality, which leads to male negativism, cruelty, and manipulation. These states, along with the structural transformation of the play and dramatic personae, unleash a wide range of emotions and a spectrum of expression. The subject of interest is seven emblematic dramatic texts from the post-1990 period by E. Maliti-Fraňová, the group of authors of the SkRAT theatre and D. Vicen, D. Gombár and M. Karásek. The article focuses on male emotions, especially the negative ones like fear, anger, anxiety, jealousy, envy, resignation, and scepticism.Contemporary Slovak drama is dominated by male characters who are not heroes in the true sense of the word; they undergo a crisis of masculinity and can not face reality, which leads to male negativism, cruelty, and manipulation.

The Image of the Scholar in Walentyn Tarnawskyj’s Dissertation in the Context of Masculinity Discourse
Full text linkThe article examines the protagonist of Walentyn Tarnawskyj’s long short story, The Dissertation, within the context of masculinity discourse in Ukrainian literature. The author maintains that the position of scholars in the Soviet Union depended on the field and background; therefore, the dominant models of Soviet masculinity fit them selectively. The literary representation of scholars in Ukrainian literature of the Soviet period was rare and reflected the dominant Soviet ideology. The late 1980s in Walentyn Tarnawskyj’s writing present a new type of scholar-character and literary expression. In the context of masculinity discourse, Tarnawskyj’s protagonist appears as a person of convoluted identity torn between his life priorities regarding academic and social status and suppressed spiritual desires provoked by an ideal woman. The author concludes by stating that Tarnawskyj’s Dissertation while breaking the socialist realist Soviet canon, may well be regarded within the tradition of Ukrainian “Chimeric” prose as well as within European classics.The article examines the protagonist of Walentyn Tarnawskyj’s long short story, The Dissertation, within the context of masculinity discourse in Ukrainian literature.
