Who were puritans and did they exist?
No full textPuritans and Puritanism are terms commonly used in the Polish language. Yet when one seeks to answer their meaning, a popular version of pious, religious and moral religious folk, dressed like
the well known Amish, comes to mind. Moreover, Puritanism in Poland is probably more often associated with the English colonies in North America, than 16th century England. In the article, the author presents the plethora of defi nitions of the term to be found in Polish history textbooks. Very often they present Puritans as an organized movement, even society, which caused the 17th century English civil war. Bringing forth the most recent understanding of the term, the author subsequently presents the newest, and in fact the only, publication on Puritans released in the Polish language. It is a book by Joel R. Beeke and Randall J. Pederson, which was translated and
presented to the readers in 2010
Early modern Grand Tourer in Poland-Lithuania : fiction or real possibility?
No full textIn the last fifty or so years, Grand Tour has become a very popular and extensively researched phenomenon. Although mainstream researchers have analyzed various aspects of the Grand Tour, they have tended to adopt a narrow definition limited to the experiences of young English gentlemen undertaking a study tour of Italy and France. This article poses a somewhat provocative question: was the Grand Tour feasible as a study tour of an English gentleman visiting Poland- Lithuania? Based on contemporary travel writing, the author reveals the challenges and the difficult logistics of such an undertaking

Strach i nienawiść jako pożywka dla tłumów w Anglii wczesnonowożytnej
No full textArtykuł podejmuje fenomen zachowania tłumu w Londynie w pierwszym okresie angielskiej wojny domowej, czyli w latach 1640-1643. Grupy ludzi wielokrotnie gromadziły się albo pod parlamentem, albo w innych częściach miasta, aby protestować i demonstrować. Protesty skierowane były przeciw królowi, jego ministrom, a następnie w obronie parlamentu. To właśnie "motłoch" uniemożliwił Karolowi I aresztowanie kilku posłów. W swoim artykule autor twierdzi, że ów motłoch, londyński tłum, sterowany był przez ówczesną propagandę. Była ona skierowana przeciw papieżowi, Kościołowi katolickiemu, jezuitom, a w końcu i królowi. Obrazowe opisy krwawych ekscesów stronników papieża, łącznie z opisami tortur i obcinania członków, musiały oddziaływać na wyobraźnię ówczesnych ludzi. Kiedy publikowane w dużych nakładach broszurki zaczęły donosić, że planowany jest zamach na parlament i jego wysadzenie, londyńczycy tłumnie zgromadzili się wokół budynku, aby go bronić. Doszło nawet do konieczności podjęcia stosownych uchwał przez posłów, usuwających przeszkadzających obrońców. Nie ma wątpliwości, że mamy
do czynienia z jedną z wczesnych, a zarazem skutecznych manipulacji tłumem w celów stworzenia odpowiedniego nastroju grozy, strachu, a nawet paniki.This article discusses the phenomenon of urban crowds in London in the years 1640-1643. The author argues that these gatherings were not entirely spontaneous responses to current events, but were inspired by contemporary prints, which spread fear of popish enemies as well as hatred for those who could endanger the English state and Parliament
Geoinformatic subsystem for real estate market analysis
No full textBibliogr. k. 68-73.This dissertation presents the main concept and execution of geoinformatic subsystem, that will be used to support real estate market analysis and real estate appraisal. Attributes’ inputting into the database takes place by means of special designed dialog windows. Values of particular attributes’ are calculated on the basis of five degrees attributes’ scales. This work presents also the ‘subbase creator’ algorithm which was worked out by the author. The main stage of this algorithm is the calculation of the price creative indicator for each real estate, using their attributes’ values. The subsystem can make more efficient real estate market analysis and real estate appraisal process thanks to this implemented algorithm. Geographical Information System software was used for realization this project, therefore the subbase, chosen in this way, can be visualized on the map. The geoinformatic subsystem will be used for the un-built real estates and living premises.Niniejsza dysertacja prezentuje projekt i realizację podsystemu geoinformatycznego, który będzie służył do analizy rynku i wyceny nieruchomości. Wprowadzanie danych o nieruchomościach do bazy danych podsystemu odbywa się za pomocą specjalnie zaprojektowanych okien dialogowych a wartości poszczególnych atrybutów są obliczane na podstawie opracowanych pięciostopniowych skal. Praca przedstawia również opis autorskiego algorytmu do wyboru podbaz nieruchomości podobnych. Kluczowym etapem tego algorytmu jest obliczenie wskaźnika cenotwórczego na podstawie ustalonych wartości atrybutów danej nieruchomości. Algorytm został zaimplementowany w podsystemie, dzięki czemu podsystem może usprawnić analizę rynku i wycenę nieruchomości. Do realizacji projektu zostało wykorzystane oprogramowanie Systemów Informacji Geograficznej, dlatego podbaza nieruchomości wybrana za pomocą tego algorytmu może być wizualizowana na mapie. Podsystem geoinformatyczny zaprojektowany został dla nieruchomości gruntowych niezabudowanych przeznaczonych pod budownictwo mieszkaniowe oraz dla lokali mieszkalnych.streszczeniespis treśc
Zasoby pomocne w osiąganiu dobrostanu po doświadczeniu kryzysu rozwodu u Inicjatorów i Nie-Inicjatorów procesu rozwodowego
No full textThe present study focuses on the problem of psychological well-being of divorce initiators and non-initiators, and the resources that help them to achieve well-being.
In the present study, divorce is understood as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Furthermore, divorce is one of the more stressful events in life, one which changes almost every aspect of life. It has been assumed that for majority of people divorce is connected with a crisis, or seeing it as a turning point in life, and with a sense of loss: with feeling sad or hurt, with a sense of guilt, anger, rage, and so on. It has also been assumed that experiencing divorce is different for initiators (i.e. the persons who decide to leave their spouses) and for non-initiators (persons who are left) (Emery, 2012). In particular, an assumption has been made that psychological well-being tends to decrease significantly in situations which present great challenges.
The author’s own conception of research was prepared and elaborated on the basis of models of adaptation to crisis: Double ABC-X Model by McCubbin and Patterson (1982; in: McKenry i Price, 1994) and Hoff’s The Paradigm of Crisis (2001; in: Weber, 2011). In turn, the theoretical concepts of post-divorce adjustment of Amato (2000) and Demo and Fine (2010) were used to concretise particular parts of the author’s model – especially those concerning the role of risk (long-lasting sense of loss) and protective factors (personal and relational resources) in post-divorce adjustment. Psychological well-being was considered the indicator of positive adjustment. According to the author’s conception of research, the sense of loss after divorce exerts influence on psychological well-being.
The aim of the author’s research was to verify which of the personal resources (ego-resiliency, as well as acceptance of divorce as a specific factor helpful in coping with the divorce crisis – a factor often discussed in literature) and relational resources (perceived social support) contribute to building psychological well-being after a divorce crisis amongst divorce initiators and non-initiators. Three kinds of research questions were posed: (1) questions about the differences between divorce initiators and non-initiators, (2) questions about predictors of psychological well-being and presence of direct relationships, (3) questions about the role of indirect relationships (mediatorial and moderatorial) between variables assumed to be the predictors of psychological well-being (sense of loss, acceptance of divorce, ego-resiliency, perceived social support) and psychological well-being of people after a divorce.
The research was conducted in Poland in cooperation with family diagnostic and consultation centres, psychological and pedagogical counselling centres and other institutions helping children and families. In total, the study group consisted of 157 people after divorce, amongst whom 64.7% were divorce initiators and 35.3% were divorce non-initiators. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous.
It may well be said that satisfactory answers have been found to the research questions posed in the present study. The most important results include:
(1) Existence of significant differences in psychological functioning between divorce initiators and non-initiators was confirmed (initiators evaluated themselves to be in better situation than non-initiators and they presented a higher level of psychological well-being and of the resources examined. In turn, non-initiators presented a higher level of the sense of loss and had difficulties with accepting their divorce).
(2) It was indicated that the model of direct relationships between variables, whose aim was to verify the predictors of psychological well-being amongst people after divorce, was indeed a simplification of the relationships between variables. Therefore, it was decided to conduct the analyses of indirect effects (mediation, moderation and conditional process analyses) with the use of both detailed models as well as a general one.
(3) The role of individual resources (ego-resiliency and acceptance as the specific factor which facilitates adaptation to the post-divorce situation) and relational resources (perceived social support) as mediators was identified. According to the assumptions, the investigated resources play a protective role in the process of building a state of well-being after divorce. Furthermore, due to the post-divorce sense of loss, resources undergo weakening and deterioration.
(4) The role of the “initiator status” as a moderator in relationships between the sense of loss and acceptance of divorce, and between acceptance of divorce and psychological well-being was verified. Intensive sense of loss was connected with low level of acceptance of divorce; this relationship was particularly strong amongst divorce non-initiators. Furthermore, acceptance of divorce had greater significance in building psychological well-being in this group as compared to divorce initiators.
(5) As a result of the use of a general, complex model of indirect relationships, the meaning of all protective factors indispensable for psychological well-being and for achieving balance after a divorce was established. Also, the presence of moderated mediation was confirmed. Results show that the total mediation, in which acceptance of divorce is a mediator between sense of loss and psychological well-being, is statistically significant only in the group of divorce non-initiators.
The results obtained by the author of the present study are consistent with the findings by foreign researchers: the existence of differences between divorce initiators and non-initiators, among other things, has been confirmed. Furthermore, social support and acceptance of divorce proved to be important for building psychological well-being of people after divorce. Finally, the present study provides new information on the complexity of the conditions for psychological well-being amongst divorced people. The presented results indicate particular importance of acceptance of divorce, especially for people who were the non-initiators, and underline the role of various resources in reaching well-being and overcoming the negative influence of post-divorce sense of loss. Most importantly, the present research concentrates on an important individual resource of both divorce initiators and non-initiators, i.e. ego-resiliency, and its meaning for building psychological well-being, thus filling the gap identified in the area of research concerning post-divorce functioning. Conclusions that may be drawn from the results presented are important not only from the theoretical perspective; they can also provide assistance to practitioners helping divorce initiators and non-initiators to cope with the situation
Otwartość na dialog w mediacjach rodzinnych
No full textThe objective of this paper was to analyze the sociocultural and personal reasons pivotal to the openness of the conflicting parties to a dialogue in the framework of family mediation. In the quest to answer the question what factors can influence the development of the family mediation in Poland and its acceptance both by the society and the families in conflict, the author presented the results of international and Polish research on the efficacy of the family mediation process and the readiness of the parties to use the mediation in family conflicts. Two theoretical concepts characterizing the sociocultural origins of resistance to mediation were analyzed in detail, namely that of the social resistance proposed by B. Mayer and that of the moral resistance by R. Benjamin. Moreover, the paper addressed the issue of the promotion of mediation together with the unrealistic expectations as to what can be achieved through mediation, mythologization of mediation and dilemma connected with the neutrality of the mediator. Finally, an integrated systemic approach to family mediation was proposed, which could enhance the chances of acceptance of the mediation by the parties in conflict. In essence it is proposed that the promotion of mediation should be exercised on three levels: (1) general societal level (to promote the winwin solutions in family conflicts), (2) level of specific educational activities for the conflicted parties (e.g. organization of premediation consultative meetings), and (3) level of specific actions targeted at various professional groups (e.g. judges, lawyers, probation officer, employees of the family support centres, etc)

Abstract
The role of psychological characteristics of the personality in the emergence and development of dental diseases has been substantiated by a number of studies of domestic and foreign scientists, in which features of the emotional and personal sphere of patients with different resistance of hard dental tissues and periodontium to diseases were considered.
The purpose of the study was to study the indices of caries intensity in people with periodontal disease in various clinical variants of psychophysiological disadaptation.
Materials and methods. Determination of the intensity of dental caries (DMF index) was carried out among 90 young people (aged18-44 years) with periodontal diseases and considering their psychophysiological conditions.
Results. While analyzing the values of the DMF index in patients in the experimental groups, it was eatablished that in group I, the mean DMF value (5.42 ± 0.18) indicated a low intensity of the carious process, which was 1.3 times lower than the mean values of the DMF (7.10 ± 0,19) in individuals of group II, whose values of DMF indicated a moderate intensity of caries.
Key words: caries, intensity, psychophysiological state, young age, disadaptation responses
