In the paper the author systematically deals with library statistics after World War II in both German states: East and West Germany. The focus is on the current state of the German library statistics. In particular the organization and financing of DBS (Deutsche Bibliotheksstatistik) is discussed. Four main DBS products are described: public library statistics, academic library statistics, special library statistics and cumulative statistics. Attention is paid to the methodology of entering and processing statistical data. In addition, strategies for searching the electronic statistics database and graphical forms of result presentation are described.Korzenie niemieckiej statystyki bibliotecznej sięgają przełomu XIX i XX w.

The inspiration of folk in the jazz compositions of Zbigniew Namyslowski
Zbigniew Namyslowski is one of the most distinguished Polish jazz musicians. He debuted in the late 50-ties, playing violoncello in Krzysztof Sadowski’s Modern Combo band. Violoncello was not commonly seen in jazz music. He changed violoncello to trombone and played in the Warsaw traditional jazz band New orleans Stompers. It is the band for which he created his first arrangements inspired by the Polish folk. The following works should be mentioned here: Motywy goralskie (Highlander motives) and Starzyk (Pipe Smoker). However, as the time passed, the Dixieland style and the trombone stopped satisfying him. He then replaced the trombone with the alt saxophone and switched from Dixieland to modern jazz. Namyslowski is regarded as one of the greatest post-Coleman and post-Coltrane saxophonists in Poland. Once his adventure with Dixieland was over, his area of interested moved to bop, modern jazz trends, including free jazz. He was one of the first Polish jazz musicians to introduce odd metre to his compositions. This article concerns those works in particular. the author presents here the analysis of Namyslowski’s first compositions in the meter 5/4 and 7/4, such as Piątawka (in 4/5 time) and Siodmawka (Dance in Seven). In 1973 Namyslowski composed another work with folk reference, entitled Kuyaviak Goes Funky. The composition is based on the 15/8 meter and consists of three parts, in which the melodies references to the Kuyavian idiom, supported by ostinato rhythm figures. The newest stage of his folk discoveries is the establishment of cooperation with the highlander band of Jan Karpiela “Bulecki” and their joint performances. Joint concerts and the records produced inspired the critics to call Namyslowski the “jazz and folk” musician
The Choir of Slovak teachers - the representative of choral culture in Slovakia
Prof. Milan Pazurik presents in his article the history and artistic activity of the Choir of Slovak teacher which is representative for Slovak culture. This Choir was established in December 1920. Gabor Valocky was one of its founders and its first conductor was Ferdinant Yacha (1860-1932). The Choir performed for the first time on August 22nd, 1922 in Trenczyn. Further, in his article the author describes the trial performance organization, the repertoire of the choir, methods of acquiring the new members and among others the performance of the choir during concerts. Just like each non-professional choir, it has been subject to financial problems, changes of the conductors and changes of the choir performers. However, these difficulties did not affect the level of performance or the frequency of appearances on the stage. The author describes also the activity of the choir at the background of political changes which occurred in Czech Republic and Slovakia. The repertoire of the choir contains the pieces of Slovakian and Czech conductors as well as many pieces of foreign artists. Throughout many years of its performance carrier, the Choir participated at many domestic and foreign music festivals. The Choir won the prizes at festivals held in Athens, Gorizia, Llangollen, Neuchatel and tolosa. The Choir of Slovak teachers has been promoting choral singing since 1920 giving a lot of satisfaction to its listeners and choir performers themselves
Politeness in Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska’s letters to her husband
The linguistic material analyzed in this article has been selected from a publication entitled “Maria z Kossakow Jasnorzewska. Listy do przyjaciół i korespondencja z mężem (1928-1945)”, published by Kossakiana in Krakow in 1998. The content is organized in the following manner: 1. Introduction to the topic, including a reminder of rules of politeness in the Polish language and culture. 2. Brief characteristic of the source of language material. 3. Presentation and discussion of selected examples. Tracing the linguistic layer of M. Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska’s letters brings evidence of use of fundamental norms of Polish linguistic politeness, such as showing respect of her partner and manifesting interest in matters important to him and more specific rules, such as compassion, kindness and approval for her partner’s doings, demonstrating the desire to be in his company, declaring support. The contents of correspondence to her husband also show deliberate actions related to G. Leech’s formal principles of approval and minimizing contention
The dams on the rivers and ecological approach in Poland
The work concerns the review of approaches to water management in Poland, in the construction of dams. The authors presented the main problems that stand in the way of people protection against floods. Presented implemented and planned investments on the waterways in Poland.Budownictwo hydrotechniczne na rzekach Polsce, w postaci zapór i ich zbiorników, datuje się już od początku XX wieku. Pierwsze z nich, tj. najstarsza Zapora Leśna na rzece Kwisie o wysokości piętrzenia 45 m, zbudowana w 1907 roku, Pilichowice na rzece Bóbr (69 m - 1912), jako zapory kamienno-betonowe i zapora kamienna Lubachów na rzece Bystrzycy (44 m - 1917), wszystkie znajdujące w dorzeczu Odry, zostały zbudowane w celu zabezpieczenia przeciwpowodziowego oraz dla hydroenergetyki, później wykorzystywane dla celów rekreacji. Rozwiązaniem całkowitego wyeliminowania z życia społeczno-gospodarczego Polaków problemu powodzi, zwłaszcza dolnego odcinka Wisły, jest kaskadowa jej zabudowa. Dowodem na wykluczenie z „życia rzek” zjawiska powodzi jest m.in. kaskadowa zabudowa rzeki Rodan, górne odcinki Renu i Dunaju (poniżej, w dół tych rzek brak zapór stwarza coroczne zagrożenia powodziowe). Ponadto, kaskadowa zabudowa Dolnej Wisły od ujścia Narwi do Bałtyku umożliwiłaby rozwój zarówno taniego i ekologicznego transportu wodnego, jak i energii elektrycznej. Natomiast zastosowanie metod budowy lateralnych kanałów przyzbiornikowych (Dunaj w odcinku austriackim), traktowanych jako przepławki dla ryb (Babiński, 2006) z zagospodarowaniem zawala, spotęgowałoby proces ekologizacji dna doliny Wisły
Think-aloud protocols in translation into the mother tongue at the advanced level
The purpose of this paper is to analyse think-aloud protocols in translations from a foreign language into the mother tongue and to present the function of translation in the language teaching process. Research on the translation process with the application of think-aloud protocols gives a running commentary on mental activities during the process of translation. The author investigates language learning strategies in translations from German into Polish written by students of Applied Linguistics. The most frequent strategies used by the respondents in the study were cognitive strategies, word-for-word translation and data analysis. The aim of the present study was also to reveal and to describe problems that occur during the translation process on examples taken from students’ works. Students’ verbalisations provide us with the opportunity of acquiring a better understanding of difficulties they encounter with the foreign language, the mother tongue or the language for special purposes as well as difficulties in reading texts in the source language.Artykuł porusza problem przekładu jako środka dydaktycznego w procesie uczenia się i nauczania języka obcego. Na podstawie protokołów głośnego myślenia dokonano analizy tłumaczeń studentów neofilologii w celu określenia rodzaju i częstotliwości użycia strategii uczenia się podczas tłumaczenia z języka niemieckiego na język polski. Dla potrzeb opisu strategii uczenia się w tłumaczeniu przedstawiono także wybrane przykłady trudności, jakie badani mieli w trakcie przekładu na język ojczysty
