Streszczenie
Aktywność fizyczna jest nieodłącznym elementem życia człowieka Bez ruchu niemożliwe byłoby zarówno funkcjonowanie, jak i rozwój ludzkości. Ruch gwarantuje również prawdziwy i najbardziej korzystny wypoczynek. W czasach, w których tak popularne stały się gry komputerowe i najróżniejsze portale społecznościowe, coraz trudniej zachęcić dzieci i młodzież do uprawiania aktywności fizycznej. Dlatego tak ważne jest, aby lekcje wychowania fizycznego były atrakcyjne. Zajęcia ruchowe mogą stać się interesujące między innymi dzięki wprowadzaniu innowacyjności i to w postaci nowoczesnych rozwiązań organizacyjnych, jak i nowych dyscyplin sportowych.
Celem pracy było wykazanie w jakim zakresie i jak często nauczyciele wychowania fizycznego stosują metody innowacyjne podczas zajęć, skąd czerpią pomysły na nie, jakie napotykają problemy podczas pracy tymi metodami, a także jakie korzyści one przynoszą. Badaniami zostało objętych 97 nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego. Badania prowadzone były na terenie województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego na przełomie roku szkolnego 2015/2016. Dla lepszego poznania problemu wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. Arkusze składały się z pytań zamkniętych oraz półotwartych. Badanie było całkowicie anonimowe co pozwoliło respondentom na swobodę odpowiedzi. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, iż ciekawe, innowacyjne prowadzenie zajęć wpływa na większą obecność na lekcjach uczniów oraz na zaangażowanie ucznia w lekcje wychowania fizycznego

Klasyfikacja doktryn buddyjskich według Zongmiego a istota religii
No full textThe classification of Buddhist doctrines by Zongmi and the essence of religion In the paper the system of doctrinal classification (pànjiào 判教) created by the Buddhist scholar of the Chinese Tang Dynasty (618–907) Guifeng Zongmi (Guīfēng Zōngmì 圭峰宗密, 780–841) has been analyzed. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part the author describes Zongmi’s doctrinal classification, focusing on the process of the deconstruction of consecutive Buddhist doctrines. In the second part the author compares particular doctrines with the most important theories on the essence of religion. The comparison aims at revealing the limitations of those theories, when applied to the understanding of the religious systems, based on the gradual attaining of gnosis, such as the system of panjiao. In the conclusion the author suggests the creation of a synthesis of the enlisted concepts of religious studies, based on the
synthesis of the Buddhist doctrines combined within the panjiao system
Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski's School. Historical-Literary Connections
No full textJuliusz Nowak-Dłużewski (31.03.1893, Goszcza – 19.04.1972, Warszawa), a literary scholar and historian, a teacher in secondary schools in Kielce and Warszawa. He did Polish Studies and his PhD in 1932 at the Jagiellonian University in the care of his promoter, Professor Ignacy Chrzanowski. During World War II he lectured at Kielce branch of Polish Studies of University of Western Lands. After the war he habilitated in Toruń on the basis of his monograph dedicated to priest Stanisław Konarski, afterwards, he took a job as a substitute for a Professor at Catholic University of Lublin and as an associate professor at University of Warsaw. His teaching and pedagogic service bore fruit in 1938 in the form of the Gold Cross of Merits. Post-war frameworks of reconstruction and the effort of the preservation from destruction of post-courtly collections from the position of the director of the National Museum in Kielce resulted in the Order of Polonia Restituta (1963). Finally, Nowak-Dłużewski’s research and development works met with recognition from the jury of the Włodzimierz Pietrzak Literary Award two times (1964, 1967).
The memoir dedicated to Professor J. Nowak-Dłużewski develops from his student’s conviction about the perfection of his didactic and educational mission performed by him with devotion during the difficult times when Communism was on the rampage. We experienced Professor’s special care and foresight in the last decade of his life (1962-1972), when he resolved to “remake us into angels” by destining us for creative work in conditions close to monastic closure – in the team of a PhD seminary. A doubtless protagonist of the given text is our Master, Professor Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski. For this reason, the references include only articles and utterances of particular people with the intention of underlining our interpersonal master-pupils bond. To my mind, this aspect appears to excuse the author in the eyes of Colleagues as well as Readers
Leszek Nowak – obituary
No full textOn 20th of October 2009 died Leszek Nowak, one of the most creative and original Polish philosophers. Born on 7th of January 1943, Nowak studied law (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań) and philosophy (Warsaw University). He lived to philosophize. It is not a conventional phrase but the true description of his activities. He devoted his live to philosophy. He got professor’s title in 1976, at the age of 33. At that time he was the youngest professor in Poland and the author of the methodological conception – the idealizational theory of science. His theory was inspired by ideas he found in Marx’s writings. He made them explicit and precise by using the language of contemporary logical philosophy. The result was the theory that offered a new, detailed and systematic picture of science [10], [18]. Leszek Nowak admired Marx’s ideas and planned to reconstruct Marx’s entire philosophical system. It soon occurred to him that Marx’s social philosophy was unable to account for the functioning of the societies of so-called real socialism. Nowak retained Marx’s materialism but rejected the narrow, economic view of society. In 1977 he started to work on a new, generalized social theory, which he called the non-Marxian historical materialism [12]. In this theory real socialism occurs as the most oppressive system in the history of the hitherto known societies. One has to be bold or naïve to work on such a theory in the country of real socialism. Leszek Nowak was aware of the risk but he did not decide to accept intellectual compromise and in 1979 disseminated the typescript of his book on real socialism. During the time of Solidarność movement he spent all energy to educate union members and to reveal the oppressive nature of socialism. He was interned on 13th of December 1981 and spent a year in jail. In 1985 he was expelled from the university and in 1989 his professorship was reinstated. Extremely hard work, engagement in the Solidarność movement, and protests during internment seriously undermined his health. In the last years Leszek Nowak was not able to teach but he painstakingly worked on his new love – metaphysics. Results of his research were published in Polish in three volumes [16], [19], [20]. In our view his conception represents a non-standard approach to metaphysical problems. In Polish philosophy Nowak’s metaphysics can be only confronted with Roman Ingarden’s The controversy over the existence of the world. It is our firm conviction that Leszek Nowak’s place in Polish philosophy in the second half of the twentieth century is defined by the following qualities: a bold search for new and original idea, laborious work to present it in a systematic way, readiness to defend it against petrifying tendencies be they scientific, political, religious or ideological
„Street data” – some suggestions on the use of data from participatory processes
No full textParticipation has gained enormous popularity in Poland in recent years. More and more local authorities – mostly due to the influence of city activists – are decided to: conduct public consultation, implementparticipatory budgeting and other forms and tools involving residents in co-decision processes on city issues. A huge number of data sets and reports are the results of these activities. It is assumed that loads of these documents might be an easily accessible data source for urban researchers. This paper presents own way and experience of using data from participatory budgeting conducted in Łódź, as well as some suggestions and possibilities of using data obtained by participatory techniques.

Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski's School. Historical-Literary Connections
No full textJuliusz Nowak-Dłużewski (31 III 1893 - 19 IV 1972), historyk literatury, absolwent filologii polskiej Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, uczeń i doktorant prof. Ignacego Chrzanowskiego, nauczyciel Gimnazjum Jana Zamoyskiego w Warszawie, a podczas II wojny światowej organizator i wykładowca filii kieleckiej Tajnego Uniwersytetu Ziem Zachodnich – po pięknych zasługach w powojennym ratowaniu bibliotek dworskich i dzieł sztuki współtworzył Muzeum Świętokrzyskie i Bibliotekę Wojewódzką w Kielcach. W 1951 r. habilitował się u prof. Konrada Górskiego w Toruniu, obejmując stanowisko zastępcy profesora KUL, a następnie od roku akad. 1956/57 – profesora nadzwyczajnego Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. W stolicy witali go bardzo serdecznie dawni jego uczniowie. „Kochał bardzo młodzież i dobrze ją rozumiał” – napisze potem z oddali emigracyjnej prof. Wiesław Strzałkowski, żołnierz PSZ na Zachodzie, lecz przede wszystkim poeta, z nabożeństwem dedykujący Profesorowi własne wiersze. W 1962 roku, gdy Nowak-Dłużewski, powołując seminarium doktoranckie, podjął „świętą wojnę” z ostracyzmem komunistycznym, garnęli się doń przybysze z całego kraju. Gdyby nie przyjął pomocy Instytutu Wydawniczego „PAX” ze strony przedwojennych uczniów, byłby jako badacz narażony na intelektualny niebyt. Dwukrotnie wzmocniły go Nagrody im. Włodzimierza Pietrzaka (1964, 1967). Czytelnikom dał się poznać odkrywczym opus vitae, 6-tomową syntezą „Okolicznościowa poezja polityczna w Polsce” (1963-1980). Wychował grono doktorów, ucząc ich wiary i nadziei, a także odporności na ciśnienie obcej ideologii. O tych niełatwych latach – i o wspólnym zwycięstwie – pisze jeden z nich.Juliusz Nowak-Dłużewski (31.03.1893, Goszcza – 19.04.1972, Warszawa), a literary scholar and historian, a teacher in secondary schools in Kielce and Warszawa.

Nonzero-sum Stochastic Games
No full textThis paper treats of stochastic games. We focus on nonzero-sum games and provide a detailed survey of selected recent results. In Section 1, we consider stochastic Markov games. A correlation of strategies of the players, involving ``public signals'', is described, and a correlated equilibrium theorem proved recently by Nowak and Raghavan for discounted stochastic games with general state space is presented. We also report an extension of this result to a class of undiscounted stochastic games, satisfying some uniform ergodicity condition. Stopping games are related to stochastic Markov games. In Section 2, we describe a version of Dynkin's game related to observation of a Markov process with random assignment mechanism of states to the players. Some recent contributions of the second author in this area are reported. The paper also contains a brief overview of the theory of nonzero-sum stochastic games and stopping games which is very far from being complete.average payoff stochastic games, correlated stationary equilibria, nonzero-sum games, stopping time, stopping games
