Jacek Dehnel – obraz tłumacza
Full text linkThis article attempts to present Jacek Dehnel as a translator. For this purpose, the author refers to selected works discussing Jacek Dehnel as a writer, poet, translator, and artist. In addition, the author uses Jacek Dehnel's statements on translation made in interviews and his critical comments on poetry and prose translations. The author assumes that a discussion on Jacek Dehnel's (or any other translator's) professional activity solely from the perspective of the texts of their translations would be insufficient. In the article, the author suggests that Jacek Dehnel pays particular attention to non-standard varieties of language in his prose, which in turn may influence his translation decisions. The article notes that when it appears impossible to convey the character of the original language in its entirety, Dehnel has been a proponent of departing from the form of the source text to save its exact meaning - also in poetry translation. The article concludes that Jacek Dehnel is familiar with many views on literary translation, he is interested in its theory, willingly participates in discussions in this field, and reviews other translations. Dehnel treats literature as the best source of knowledge about writing and translation. Despite his unquestionable literary, poetic, and translation achievements, Dehnel does not deny that he is still learning how to write and translate from others. The article is also an invitation to further discussion and critical analysis of Jacek Dehnel's translations.Artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia sylwetki Jacka Dehnela jako tłumacza. Autor opiera się na wybranych pracach, omawiających dotychczasowy dorobek Jacka Dehnela jako pisarza, poety, tłumacza oraz artysty. W artykule wykorzystano wypowiedzi Jacka Dehnela na temat tłumaczenia udzielone w wywiadach oraz jego komentarze krytyczne, dotyczące przekładów poezji i prozy. Autor wychodzi z założenia, że omówienie translatorskiej działalności Jacka Dehnela (oraz każdego innego tłumacza) jedynie przez pryzmat tekstów jego przekładów byłoby niewystarczające. Artykuł jest zatem zaproszeniem do dalszej dyskusji i krytycznej analizy tłumaczeń pióra Jacka Dehnela.

Finetuned Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (Artificial Intelligence) Model for Calcium Deblooming in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
No full textThe purpose of this study was to finetune a deep learning model, real-enhanced super-resolution generative adversarial network (Real-ESRGAN), and investigate its diagnostic value in calcified coronary plaques with the aim of suppressing blooming artifacts for the further improvement of coronary lumen assessment. We finetuned the Real-ESRGAN model and applied it to 50 patients with 184 calcified plaques detected at three main coronary arteries (left anterior descending [LAD], left circumflex [LCx] and right coronary artery [RCA]). Measurements of coronary stenosis were collected from original coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and Real-ESRGAN-processed images, including Real-ESRGAN-high-resolution, Real-ESRGAN-average and Real-ESRGAN-median (Real-ESRGAN-HR, Real-ESRGAN-A and Real-ESRGAN-M) with invasive coronary angiography as the reference. Our results showed specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the Real-ESRGAN-processed images were improved at all of the three coronary arteries, leading to significant reduction in the false positive rates when compared to those of the original CCTA images. The specificity and PPV of the Real-ESRGAN-M images were the highest at the RCA level, with values being 80% (95% CI: 64.4%, 90.9%) and 61.9% (95% CI: 45.6%, 75.9%), although the sensitivity was reduced to 81.3% (95% CI: 54.5%, 95.9%) due to false negative results. The corresponding specificity and PPV of the Real-ESRGAN-M images were 51.9 (95% CI: 40.3%, 63.5%) and 31.5% (95% CI: 25.8%, 37.8%) at LAD, 62.5% (95% CI: 40.6%, 81.2%) and 43.8% (95% CI: 30.3%, 58.1%) at LCx, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was also the highest at the RCA with value of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.64, 0.89), 0.84 (95% CI: 0.73, 0.94), 0.85 (95% CI: 0.75, 0.95) and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.58, 0.89), corresponding to original CCTA, Real-ESRGAN-HR, Real-ESRGAN-A and Real-ESRGAN-M images, respectively. This study proves that the finetuned Real-ESRGAN model significantly improves the diagnostic performance of CCTA in assessing calcified plaques
Understanding Reform: The Case of Poland
Full text linkThis report reviews the reform process in Poland in the period 1989-2001, from the formation of the first non-Communist government to the defeat of right-wing forces in the 2001 parliamentary elections and the formation of a governing left-wing coalition of social democrats and the peasants’ party (both of them with roots in the Communist era).

The purpose of this article is to present a true picture of corruption in politics and anti-corruption measures, which the author believes, are far desirable standards for the elimination of corruption from public life

Le mani di Jacek Woszczerowicz, attore “di composizione” [An actor of composition. Jacek Woszczerowicz's hands]
No full text"The article aims to draw attention back to the art of Jacek Woszczerowicz, once a
well-known and beloved Polish actor. It focuses on his peculiar acting style by analyzing two
adaptations of stage dramas and a documentary of a theatrical masterpiece Richard III (1960). In
particular, the author highlights Woszczerowicz’s work on gesture and the role played by hands in
building characters. This brief survey will lead us to re-discover the deep process of cognition and
experience realized dramatically by the artist and to understand why Jan Kott considered him
“the first contemporary Shakespeare”, while Jerzy Grotowski praised him as the greatest “actor of
composition”.
