Stefan Javors’kyj's Panegyrics
Full text linkThis book presents the first edition of Polish and Latin works by Stefan Javors’kyj (1658–1722), the leading author of Ukrainian literature of his time. The book contains four panegyrics dedicated to the Ukrainian political and ecclesiastical leaders, Hetman Ivan Mazepa and Metropolitan Barlaam Jasyns’kyj. In his masterful books, Javors’kyj combines emblems, lyric and epic poetry with prose in two languages. The edition will help to bring Ukrainian texts into the canon of early modern European literature and to recover an important fragment of literary history. Edited by Jakub Niedźwiedź and Bartosz B.

The legal mind : a new introduction to legal epistemology /
No full textHow does a lawyer think? Does legal intuition exist? Do lawyers need imagination? Why is legal language so abstract? It is no longer possible to answer these questions by applying philosophical analysis alone. Recent advances in the cognitive sciences have reshaped our conceptions of the human mental faculties and the tools we use to solve problems. A new picture of the functioning of the legal mind is emerging. In The Legal Mind, Bartosz Brożek uses philosophical arguments and insight from the cognitive sciences to depict legal thinking as a close cooperation between three cognitive mechanisms - intuition, imagination, and language - and addresses the question of how to efficiently use these mental tools. This novel and provocative approach provides a fresh perspective on legal thinking and gives rise to important questions pertaining to the limits of legal interpretation and rationality in the law.Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 08 Nov 2019).How does a lawyer think?

Design and optimisation of a coreless superconducting synchronous generator
No full textConstantly increasing demand for electrical power requires more efficient and more powerful machines to be built. The conventional technology cannot provide such machines. It cannot deliver machines that are smaller, lighter and provide larger torques and power ratings. The answer to these problems is believed to be in superconducting machines.After short introduction to the phenomena of superconductivity and superconducting devices, practical superconducting tapes are described. The evolution and problems considered during the design of a coreless superconducting rotor for a synchronous machine are described. A few possible coreless rotor configurations are characterised and a simple formula is used to minimise the harmonic content.Estimation of machine parameters and evaluation of losses is also conducted. The areas to which particular attention has to be paid are pointed out. All these are undertaken for a demonstrator size machine with BSCCO windings. But to achieve real benefits it is important to build a machine that more closely represents real machines. Hence an optimisation method is used to investigate the possibility of increasing the size of the machine
Comparison of Microsoft Academic (Graph) with Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar
No full textThe project aims to study the Microsoft Academic Graph, a scholarly citation database, by comparison with three competitors in the field: Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Openness, transparency of data gathering and processing, and completeness of data including the global unique identifiers has been researched in each of the four datasets. The analysis has been conducted using a set of 75 institutional affiliations, 6 randomly selected authors from the and 639 documents published by these authors. The coverage of total research output in MAG of the six selected authors had reached 76.0%, hence being on-par with coverage of Google Scholar (76.2%) and significantly better than that of Scopus (66.5%) and Web of Science (58.8%). The overall results indicate that Microsoft Academic Graph can be an interesting source of information for bibliometric or scientometric analysis. However, no definite conclusions regarding the scope of MAG can be drawn due to the small size of the sample. Furthermore, problems with affiliation and author disambiguation in MAG have been highlighted. Finally, studies focusing on the disciplinary coverage of the datasets in greater detail are proposed

Really unique? On the swords in the West Balt Circle
No full textThe paper deals with the problem of swords in the West Balt circle. It has been stated that they lack here almost entirely,
with the exception for several swords known. The author opposes such idea, showing new materials proving the usage
of swords in the Balt cultural milieu, specifically swords from bog sacrificial sites (Wólka, Czaszkowo) and elements of
swords’ scabbards, fittings of baldric belts aimed to hang the scabbard, or sword’s handle fitting discovered in graves
without swords themselves. That phenomenon is observed both in the Roman (the Bogaczewo culture and Dollkeim-
Kovrovo culture) and Migration Period (the Olsztyn group). It seems to prove that Balts frequently avoided placement
of swords in graves what could be expressed by the value of swords (see long usage of broken and then sharpened
swords) or ritual matters/beliefs (e.g. pars-pro-toto principle or taboo).Bartosz Kontn
Minimal-uncertainty prediction of general drug-likeness based on Bayesian neural networks
No full text© 2020, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited.Triaging unpromising lead molecules early in the drug discovery process is essential for accelerating its pace while avoiding the costs of unwarranted biological and clinical testing. Accordingly, medicinal chemists have been trying for decades to develop metrics—ranging from heuristic measures to machine-learning models—that could rapidly distinguish potential drugs from small molecules that lack drug-like features. However, none of these metrics has gained universal acceptance and the very idea of ‘drug-likeness’ has recently been put into question. Here, we evaluate drug-likeness using different sets of descriptors and different state-of-the-art classifiers, reaching an out-of-sample accuracy of 87–88%. Remarkably, because these individual classifiers yield different Bayesian error distributions, their combination and selection of minimal-variance predictions can increase the accuracy of distinguishing drug-like from non-drug-like molecules to 93%. Because total variance is comparable with its aleatoric contribution reflecting irreducible error inherent to the dataset (as opposed to the epistemic contribution due to the model itself), this level of accuracy is probably the upper limit achievable with the currently known collection of drugs11Nsciescopu
Poetic Commemorations virtus sacerdotalis in Bartosz Paprocki’s “The Coats of Arms of Polish Knighthood”
No full textXVI‑wieczne dzieło Bartosza Paprockiego „Herby rycerstwa polskiego” było wielokrotnie przedmiotem badań historyków, genealogów czy heraldyków. Autorka zwraca uwagę na religijno‑historyczny kontekst powstania dzieła: reformację i postanowienia soboru trydenckiego – zwłaszcza na naukę o sakramencie kapłaństwa, a także starożytne i średniowieczne pisma poświęcone moralnemu ideałowi duchownych. W tym właśnie kontekście analizuje sposób prezentowania w „Herbach” osób duchownych, zwłaszcza ich cnót kapłańskich.“The Coats of Arms of Polish Knighthood” by Bartosz Paprocki has been studied and commented by historians and genealogy researches. The author emphasizes religious and historical context of this book: reformation and the Council of Trent, especially its teaching on prieshood, and ancient and medieval writings on the moral paragons of virtue for the clergy. Paprocki’s presentation of priests and their virtues is examined in this context
Pretrial as a Part of Judicial Case Management in Poland in Comparative Perspective
Full text linkIn his comparative study, Bartosz Karolczyk focuses on the analysis of procedural provisions pertaining to the preparation of trial. This stage in the proceedings, following its common law origin, is often called pretrial. The goal of this preparatory stage is to increase both the transparency and efficiency (reduce cost, increase accuracy of decisions) of civil litigation.The author extensively discusses Polish law (in the light of the 2012 amendments), German law and American (federal law). Some references are also made to Norwegian law and Lithuanian law. The purpose of the analysis is to synthesize existing trends and the essential elements of effective pretrial regulations. This requires reconstruction of the sequence of procedural actions taken by the court and the parties, as well as the relationship between them and the actors.In conclusion, the author recaps his findings. In addition, by putting forth three theses he identifies the main challenges to the evolution of Polish procedure in accordance with European trends. He concludes with specific recommendations for the Polish legislator
