Breakthrough in the validation and diagnostic value of test carried out in polygraph examination
No full textW niniejszym artykule autor opisuje proces normalizacji badań poligraficznych
w Polsce i na świecie oraz uzasadnia potrzebę określenia jednolitych standardów przeprowadzania
takich badań. Powołuje się przy tym na dotychczasowy dorobek American
Polygraph Association, przedstawiając wnioski płynące z najnowszego raportu tej
organizacji na temat uznanych technik badawczych. Następnie rozważa problematykę
dowodowego wykorzystania ekspertyz z zakresu badań poligraficznych, porównując
polskie regulacje do sytuacji w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Na zakończenie autor pokazuje
obecne możliwości precyzyjnego określania rezultatów testów poligraficznych na podstawie
Empirycznego Systemu Oceniania (ESS).In this article the author describes the standardization of polygraph examinations in
Poland and around the world, and justifies the need for uniform standards for conducting
such examinations. He refers to the current achievements of the American Polygraph
Association and presents the conclusions of the latest report on validated polygraph
techniques. The issue of evidentiary usage of polygraph expert opinions in Poland is also
considered in comparison to the situation in the United States. Finally, the author shows
the current capabilities of formulating precise outcomes of polygraph tests according to
Empirical Scoring System (ESS)
„I am not and have never been a communist“: Klaus Mann and his relation to communism
Get PDFKlaus Mann (1906–1949) belonged to generation influenced by the two World Wars, burgeoning communism, and rising nationalism. Political component in his work is very strongly articulated not only in novels and essays, but also in autobiographical work. This emphasises his fascination in times he lived, but most of all it expresses his own involvement in fighting the evil which in his eyes were represented by Hitler and Nazism. In Mann’s eyes communism was not solely represented as a political system, but rather an ally in his personal crusade. In the literature there is often a question asked whether Klaus Mann was a communist or an ideologist whose majority of opinions were in line with ideological assumptions and values of the communist system. Despite clear declarations of the author himself, it is worth to look into his inner development: from fascination through growing distance and eventually disappointment which resulted in detaching himself from the communist ideas
The issue of multiple testing in polygraph screening – implications for internal security
No full textBadania poligraficzne o charakterze przesiewowym najczęściej przeprowadza się przed zatrudnieniem kandydata. Statystyka Bayesowska pomaga lepiej zrozumieć rzeczywiste znaczenie uzyskiwanych wyników testów. Zdarza się również wykonywanie badań powtórnych – najczęściej wtedy, gdy za pierwszym podejściem kandydatowi się nie powiedzie. W artykule autor rozważa różne scenariusze związane z ponownym testowaniem oraz ich konsekwencje, także w zakresie bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego poszczególnych instytucji i państw. Poszukuje optymalnych rozwiązań, aby procedury testowania sprzyjały szczelności systemów, a zarazem pozostały wydajne i użyteczne.Screening polygraph tests are most often conducted before a candidate is hired. Bayesian statistics help to better understand the real meaning of the test results obtained. Retesting also happens - usually when a candidate fails on the first attempt. In the article, the author considers various scenarios related to retesting and their consequences, including for the internal security of individual institutions and countries. He seeks optimal solutions so that testing procedures promote tightness in systems while remaining efficient and useful

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

No full text"Standards concerning polygraph examinations for common application can
be found in by-laws as well as in recommendations issued by the American
Polygraph Association (APA) and in standards adopted by ASTM International
(American Society for Testing and Materials International). Th e fi rst of these
organizations was founded in 1966 and has a membership of over three
thousand polygraphists, whereas the second is a normalization organization
which can trace its roots back to 1898. Both have the adjective “American”
in their names, but in fact these are international organizations open to
representatives from all over the world."(...
