Lotem albatrosa — Barton Fink jako artysta modernistyczny
No full textAS THE ALBATROSS FLIES — BARTON FINK AS A MODERNISTThe article is an attempt to present the titular character of the Coen brothers’ Barton Fink, viewed through the prism of the modernist paradigm. The author describes an internal conflict of an individualist writer, caused by the limitations imposed by Hollywood with the application of the concept of signifi cation systems. A modernist is defined in the original context of the term — the period of modernism. This is done on the basis of 19th-century psychology essays Z psychologii jednostki twórczej by Stanisław Przybyszewski and Forpoczty ewolucyi psychicznej i troglodyci by Wacław Nałkowski as well as on Charles Baudelaire’s The Albatross, to which numerous concealed references are found in the Coens’ film. The article is concluded with an attempt to interpret the film in respect of the modernist’s profile and the symbolism of an albatross.Translated by Krzysztof KucharczykAS THE ALBATROSS FLIES — BARTON FINK AS A MODERNISTThe article is an attempt to present the titular character of the Coen brothers’ Barton Fink, viewed through the prism of the modernist paradigm.

Petrology and Stratigraphy of the Berea Sandstone in the Cabin Creek and Gay-Fink Trends, West Virginia.
No full textThe Berea Sanstone consists of marine and non-marine facies in west-central West Virginia. The Cabin Creek and Gay-Fink trends represent alluvial channel fill depositis. They are parallel to the westward dipping regional slope and are oriented 65-70 degrees to the depositional strike (north-south) of the sheetsand facies
Il cane ebreo (storie di animali nella Shoà e altrove a partire da tre racconti di Ida Fink)
No full textIn the first part of the article the author focuses on the Polish-Israeli writer Ida Fink. Follows a short panorama on how some outstanding Jewish writers, Fink included, described animals as protagonist – or co-protagonists – of their narratives of the Holocaust. A further chapter is devoted to Fink’s ambivalent position as a representative both of the international literature of the Holocaust and of Polish literature. Although Fink has been generally considered a «Jewish» or even an «Israeli» writer, here her work is presented with a strong accent on her liaisons with her first motherland’s literature, and especially with the great Polish writer Zofia Nałkowska. Affinities between the two women-writers emerges with particular evidence, according to the author, in the narrative strategies chosen by them to represent the Holocaust and the suffering of animals
Željka Fink-Arsovski, Poredbena frazeologija: pogled izvana i iznutra (Zagreb 2002)
No full textThe article presents a book by Željka Fink-Arsovski which brings an exhaustive discussion on the rich corpus of the comparative phrasemes in the Croatian language from several viewpoints. The author also provides Russian structural and semantic equivalents of these phrasemes and so she draws attention to what is common and what is different in these two Slavic languages.V prispevku je predstavitev knjige Željke Fink-Arsovski, ki z mnogih vidikov izčrpno obdela bogato gradivo primerjalnih frazemov hrvaškega jezika, za katere navaja še strukturne in pomenske ustreznike v ruščini ter tako opozarja na stične točke in posebnosti obeh slovanskih jezikov
Bradykinin is a mediator of anaphylactoid reactions during hemodialysis with AN69 membranes
No full textBradykinin is a mediator of anaphylactoid reactions during hemodialysis with AN69 membranes. Anaphylactoid reactions (AR) are the most feared complications of hemodialysis. Recently, a high incidence of AR has been reported during dialysis with AN69 membranes in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. Plasma levels of C3a, histamine and bradykinin were measured in 12 patients at the onset of AR during dialysis with AN69. We also investigated bradykinin generation in 10 symptom-free patients dialyzed with four different membranes. None of the 12 patients studied during AR displayed excessive complement activation or histamine release. In contrast, high bradykinin plasma levels (2392 53 fmol/ml; mean sem) were observed in all nine patients of whom bradykinin was measured. One patient developed two consecutive episodes of hypersensitivity on AN69 membranes even without taking ACE inhibitors. Bradykinin levels were high in both episodes (5280 and 10467.7 fmol/ml). Furthermore, this patient showed no symptoms and normal bradykinin levels (123.4 fmol/ml) when dialyzed with other membranes. The role of the membrane type in the AR is further substantiated by the observation that AN69 also provoked a significantly higher bradykinin generation (327.6 18 fmol/ml; mean SEM) during symptom-free sessions compared to other membranes like CuprophanR (5.1 7.3), HemophanR (17.2 6.3) and PolysulfoneR (39.7 6.6). Our findings strongly suggest that bradykinin is the principal mediator of AR during hemodialysis with AN69 membranes. To our knowledge it is the first time that data support the hypothesis of a more general role of bradykinin in shock-like symptoms. Furthermore, bradykinin generation must be regarded as a new marker of biocompatibility of extracorporeal treatments
A speech understanding and dialog system with a homogeneous linguistic knowledge base
No full textMast M, Kummert F, Ehrlich U, et al. A speech understanding and dialog system with a homogeneous linguistic knowledge base. IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence. 1994;16(2):179-194.This article presents the speech understanding and dialog system EVAR. All levels of linguistic knowledge are used both to control the analysis process and for the interpretation of an utterance. All kinds of knowledge are integrated in a homogeneous knowledge base. The control algorithm used for the analysis is defined within the representation scheme and does not depend on the application. One of the aims of EVAR is to develop a system structure where linguistic and non-linguistic expectations could be used not only for the interpretation but also as predictions for the recognition process
