O pułapce „skojarzeniowej” w humanistyce. (Na marginesie uroszczenia S. Gałkowskiego w jego próbie „logicznej” wykładni Znanieckiego)
Full text linkAutor polemiki we wstępie wskazuje na zjawisko "reductio ad absurdum" koncepcji Znanieckiego w wykładni adresata jego krytyki.

W tekście wskazuje się na pułapkę czytania epistemicznego jako etyczne nadużycie logiki. Wreszcie, zamiast zakończenia, mówi się o traktowaniu tradycji myśli humanistycznej i uczula na błędy interpretacyjne popełnione przez krytykowanego autora. Główny błąd polega na skojarzeniach czytelnika blokujących mu głębszy dostęp do znaczenia czytanej koncepcji.In his introduction the author of this polemic indicates the phenomenon of "reductio ad absurdum" of Znaniecki's conception in the exegesis of the addressee of this criticism. Next there is an outline sketched concerning the general perspective of disagreement against the approach by S. Gałkowski. There is also outlined criticism and appraisal towards Znaniecki by the author of this polemics. The text illustrates the trap of an epistemic reading as an ethical abuse of logics. Finally instead of a conclusion one is discussing the ways of treatement of the tradition of humanistic reflection and it warns against interpretative errors committed by the criticised author. The basic error is perceived as the result of domination of application of harmful associations of the leader blocking the way to deeper sense of the conception

Brain Segmentation ? A Case study of Biomedical Cloud Computing for Education and Research
No full textMedical imaging is widely adopted in Hospitals and medical institutes, and new ways to improve existing medical imaging services are regularly exploited. This paper describes the adoption of Cloud Computing is useful for medical education and research, and describes the methodology, results and lesson learned. A working Bioinformatics Cloud platform can demonstrate computation and visualisation of brain imaging. The aim is to study segmentation of brains, which divides the brain into ten major regions. The Cloud platform has these two functions: (i) it can highlight each region for ten different segments; and (ii) it can adjust intensity of segmentation to allow basic study of brain medicine. Two types of benefits are reported as follows. Firstly, all the medical student participants are reported to have 20% improvement in their learning satisfaction. Secondly, 100% of volunteer participants are reported to have positive learning experience
