Establishment and activity of the prefecture of the Krakow department 1809 (1810) -1815
Get PDFThe departmental prefecture of Kraków was established in April 1810 on the basis of the Administrative Office of the Kraków Powiat, established by the provisional Polish authorities during the War of the Fifth Coalition (1809). The creation of the prefecture was preceded by a dispute over the scope of powers of this institution and an attempt to grant Kraków a special status outside the departmental structures in the Duchy of Warsaw. In political terms, the prefect of the department presented pro-Napoleonic views until May 1813. After the seizure of Kraków by the Russian army, he switched to pro-Russian positions, seeing Tsar Alexander as the protector of the Polish cause. The Kraków Department was managed efficiently by the prefecture. In some cases (Kraków’s local governance, limitation of Jewish economic activities), the prefect of the Department applied solutions that were inconsistent with the applicable law. For the next two prefects of the Kraków Department (Stanisław Wodzicki and Kasper Wielogłowski) this office was the first stage of their official career, which ended for them with the function of the president of the Senate of the Free City of Kraków
Extension to the health resort in Krynica in 1806-1830 in the light of the files of the Lviv Governorate
Get PDFThe Austrian authorities in Galicia sought to use the mineral springs existing in that land. Krynica was one of the few state-owned villages that had mineral springs. The health resort was founded in 1793. But it was only the investments from 1806-1810 that transformed the village into a real health resort. In 1811, further works were stopped, and after a few years they were resumed to a very limited extent. The main reason for the lack of new investments was the financial crisis of the state related to the Napoleonic wars. Hopes for a quick transformation of Krynica into the main health resort of Galicia, to which Poles would also come from abroad (Russia, Prussia, the Duchy of Warsaw – later the Kingdom of Poland), ended in failure. The high number of visitors recorded in the first years of the 19th century soon declined. Krynica lost the competition with other spas in Southern Poland (Krzeszowice, Swoszowice), as well as with resorts in the Kingdom of Bohemia and in Hungary. Only in the second half of the 19th century, Krynica became the largest spa in Galicia, and one of the most important in Austria. However, this took place under completely different socioeconomic circumstances
Determining the personality of Internet users by analyzing their digital footprints in the light of selected research by Michał Kosiński
Get PDFAccording to data from Internet Live Stats, in April 2021, about 92,000 queries were made, every second, in the Google search engine. Each activity performed by users of digital devices is indexed as so-called digital footprints [also called digital traces], thanks to which it is possible, using appropriate technologies and methods, to precisely define personality traits, political views and sexual orientations of these users.The article was inspired by the works of PhD Michał Kosiński and describes the issues related to analyzing digital traces of Internet users (mainly social media).The main aim of the article is to present the research by PhD Michał Kosiński and to draw the attention of the IT community to the issues related to analyzing the digital traces of Internet users.

Tvarauskas įsteigė pirmąją lietuvišką spaustuvę Šamokine (Pensilvanija, JAV). Jis buvo pirmosios lietuviškos knygos Amerikoje – dvikalbio anglų-lietuvių ir lietuvių-anglų kalbų žodyno „Tlumaczius arba Slownikas Angielckaj-Lietuwyszkas ir Lietuwiszkaj-Angielckas“ – autorius, redaktorius ir leidėjas. Iki šiol išliko tik vienas šios knygos egzempliorius ir reklaminis bukletas lietuviams „Mieli broliai“. 1997 m. „Minties“ leidykla išleido abiejų leidinių faksimiles. Tai labai vertingas šaltinis istorikams ir kalbininkams. Šiuose leidiniuose naudojama kitokia rašyba nei dabartiniu metu. M. Tvarauskas vartojo savo gimtojo krašto, Kybartų, tarmę, t. y. vakarų aukštaičių pietvakarinės dalies tarmę. Naujame leidime pateikiami Lietuvos mokslininkų straipsniai, skirti M. Tvarausko gyvenimui, veiklai ir „Žodynui“.

He was the author as well as an editor and printer of the first Lithuanian book in the U.S. - a bilingual English-Lithuanian and Lithuanian-English Dictionary (Tlumaczius arba Slownikas Angielckaj-Lietuwyszkas ir Lietuwiszkaj-Angielcaks, Shamokin 1875). Only one original copy of the book and an advertising brochure, addressed to Lithuanians (called „Dear Brothers"), has survived. In 1997 "Mintys" Publishing House reprinted both literary monuments. They are very valuable as the sources for historical and linguistic research. The spelling orthography used in these publications are different than today. Their language is based on the West South form of the West High Lithuanian dialect used in the Kibartai area where Twarowski was born. This edition is accompanied with articles written by Lithuanian scholars and devoted to Twarowski's life, his activities and the "Dictionary"
