Poezja w protestanckich kancjonałach Białorusi w XVI wieku
No full textPierwsze poetyckie utwory renesansowe w języku starobiałoruskim i w łacinie zostały wydru kowane na początku XVI w. w Krakowie, Brześciu i Nieświeżu, zaś w latach 50.-60. XVI w. ukazywały się drukiem pierwsze wiersze i poematy w języku polskim. Aktywni działacze ruchu protestanckiego, usiłując spopularyzować w społeczeństwie nowe poglądy religijne, korzystali z dostępnej dla odbiorcy formy wiersza. W danym artykule autor zwraca szczególną uwagę na dwa kancjonały: brzeski Pieśni chwał Boskich, przygotowany przez Jana Zarębę i wydrukowany przez Stanisława Murmeliusa w 1558 r., oraz nieświeski Katechizm, albo krótkie w jedno miejsce zebra nie wiary i powinności Krześcijańskiej..., wydany w 1563 r. przez Daniela Łęczyckiego w drukami należącej do Macieja Kawiaczyńskiego. Zdaniem autora, wiersze zawarte w kancjonałach, będąc religijnymi utworami o charakterze publicystycznym, przygotowywały grunt do powstania świec kiej poezji politycznej.The first Renaissance poems in Old Belarussian and Latin were printed at the beginning of the 16lh century in Cracow, Brześć and Nieśwież, however the first poems in Polish came out in print in the 50s and 60s of the 16th century. Protestant activists of the Protestant movement poem, accessible to the reader, in order to popularize their religious views in the society. In the article the author places particular emphasis on two religious songbooks: the Brześć Pieśni chwał, by Jan Zaręba and printed by Stanislaw Murmelius in 1558, and the Nieśwież Katechizm, albo krótkie, w jedno miejsce zebranie wiary i powinności Krześcijańskiej, published in 1563 by Daniel Łęczy ca in the printing house of Maciej Kawiaczyński. The author expresses the view that, as religious works of commentary nature, the poems from the songbooks set the stage for the appearance of secular political poetry
American Roulette: The Effect of Reminders of Death on Support for George W. Bush in the 2004 Presidential Election
No full textAn experiment was conducted to assess the effect of a subtle reminder of death on voting intentions for the 2004 U.S. presidential election. On the basis of terror management theory and previous research, we hypothesized that a mortality salience induction would increase support for President George W. Bush and decrease support for Senator John Kerry. In late September 2004, following a mortality salience or control induction, registered voters were asked which candidate they intended to vote for. In accord with predictions, Senator John Kerry received substantially more votes than George Bush in the control condition, but Bush was favored over Kerry following a reminder of death, suggesting that President Bush's re-election may have been facilitated by non conscious concerns about mortality in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.This is an electronic version of the article published in Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, 5(1):177-187, 2005 Dec.The definitive version is available at www3.interscience.wiley.co
Laboratoria edukacji medialnej w Polsce
No full textCelem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza koncepcji medialabu oraz jej znaczenia dla edukacji medialnej. Artykuł uwzględnia współczesny dyskurs dotyczący laboratoriów cyfrowej humanistyki oraz szerzej ujmowanego zwrotu laboratoryjnego. Rozważania teoretyczne uzupełnia studium przypadku Medialabu Gdańsk, Medialabu Katowice oraz UBU labu w Krakowie. Analiza instytucji została przeprowadzona na podstawie badań jakościowych. Perspektywa trzech zróżnicowanych inicjatyw wskazuje na zupełnie odmienne wdrażanie postulatów edukacji medialnej i cyfrowej osadzonej w lokalnym kontekście kulturowo-społecznym.The goal of this article is to analyze concept of medialab and meaning of paradigm for media education. The author takes into account contemporary discourse of digital humanities laboratories and laboratory turn. Theoretical considerations are filled by case study of Medialab Gdańsk, Medialab Katowice and UBU lab in Krakow. Analysis of these institutions was provided by qualitative research. The perspective of three different initiatives indicates various methods of implementation of media and digital education postulates set in local cultural-social context
Collective dynamics differentiates functional divergence in protein evolution.
No full textProtein evolution is most commonly studied by analyzing related protein sequences and generating ancestral sequences through Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood methods, and/or by resurrecting ancestral proteins in the lab and performing ligand binding studies to determine function. Structural and dynamic evolution have largely been left out of molecular evolution studies. Here we incorporate both structure and dynamics to elucidate the molecular principles behind the divergence in the evolutionary path of the steroid receptor proteins. We determine the likely structure of three evolutionarily diverged ancestral steroid receptor proteins using the Zipping and Assembly Method with FRODA (ZAMF). Our predictions are within ~2.7 Å all-atom RMSD of the respective crystal structures of the ancestral steroid receptors. Beyond static structure prediction, a particular feature of ZAMF is that it generates protein dynamics information. We investigate the differences in conformational dynamics of diverged proteins by obtaining the most collective motion through essential dynamics. Strikingly, our analysis shows that evolutionarily diverged proteins of the same family do not share the same dynamic subspace, while those sharing the same function are simultaneously clustered together and distant from those, that have functionally diverged. Dynamic analysis also enables those mutations that most affect dynamics to be identified. It correctly predicts all mutations (functional and permissive) necessary to evolve new function and ~60% of permissive mutations necessary to recover ancestral function
