Kazimierz Kuzyk (1892-1963) : forgotten photographer of the Ottoman army and dynasty
No full textMost of the pictures showing officers and soldiers of the Ottoman XV Corps during its expedition to the East Galicia in 1916-1917 were taken by anonymous photographers from Austro-Hungarian or German units they fought shoulder to shoulder with. However, personal details of one of them have been recently discovered. His name was Kazimierz Kuzyk. In 1914, Kuzyk enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian army as a photographer in the Field Balloon Unit. Since he spent most of his time in the village of Kurzany, where the HQ of the Ottoman 19th division was, he photographed mainly officers and soldiers of this unit. However, the most precious pictures he left to future generations were those of Princes Ömer Faruk and Abdürrahim Hayri, taken during their short visits to Galicia. Kuzyk’s pictures of the Army Group commander Gen. Eduard von Böhm-Ermolli visiting the Ottoman 19th division in January 1917 are the only known photographs of this event. Unlike so many of the jaunty men and officers in his pictures, Kuzyk survived both the war in Galicia and on the Italian Front, where he was transferred to, shortly before the end of WWI. He worked with his camera until his death in 1963. Personal documents related to Kuzyk’s life are being kept in the Archive of the Cracow Province of the Discalced Carmelites Order. His photographs of Turks in Galicia are in the above-mentioned archive, as well as in Irena and Mieczysław Mazaraki Museum in Chrzanów, Poland, in the Austrian National Library and in private collections

Two-photon fluorescence measurements of reversible photodegradation in a dye-doped polymer
No full textY. Zhu, J. Zhou, and M. G. Kuzyk, " Two-photon fluorescence
measurements of reversible photodegradation in a dye-doped polymer," Opt.
Lett. 32, 958-960 (2007) We report on the dynamics of photodegradation and subsequent recovery of
two-photon fluorescence in a dye-doped polymer. The energy dependence suggests
that photo-degradation is a linear process while recovery is entropic. Such
recovery could be useful to high-intensity devices such as two-photon
absorbers, which can be used in many applications
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Ottoman soldiers in Galicia (1916-1917) in the photographs of Kazimierz Kuzyk
No full textA collection of 48 photographs showing officers and soldiers of the Ottoman 19th Division in Kurzany (eastern Galicia) and taken in 1916-1917 by a Polish photographer Kazimierz Kuzyk was found in 2014 in the Irena and Mieczysław Mazaraki Museum in Chrzanów, Poland. Despite a long lasting archive research in Poland and Austria, almost no biographical information on the photographer was found. We only know his three addresses in Cracow and the probable date of birth (1891). Although Kuzyk’s pictures taken in Kurzany represent diverse technical quality (in 1916 he must have been around 25 years-old and, thus, still inexperienced in his profession), their historical value is immense. They represent the biggest known collection of photographs of three Ottoman princes – Abdürrahim, Osman Fuat and Ömer Faruk – taken during their visits to Galicia (only one of those pictures was used in May 1917 issue of the Ottoman illustrated war bulletin “Harb Mecmuası”). Kuzyk also seems to be the only photographer who took pictures during the inspection of the 19th Division made in January 1917 by the commander of Army Group Gen. Eduard von Böhm-Ermolli. Besides the above mentioned facts the collection of the Polish photographer’s pictures has a great value for those historians who carry out research on the Ottoman Army uniform and armament
Stefan Javors’kyj's Sermons
No full textThis edition presents a selection of 15 sermons by Stefan Javors’kyj (1658–1722), a Ukrainian poet and preacher of the late 17th century. His imagination, knowledge, and rhetorical skills made him one of the leading European writers of his time. For political reasons, his sermons remained in manuscript for over 300 years. The editors have painstakingly transcribed the Ukrainian texts and annotated them in English. The edition makes Javors’kyj’s works available to scholars who wish to broaden their knowledge of an unknown part of early modern European literature. Edited by Giovanna Brogi, Maksym Yaremenko, Tetiana Kuzyk, Marzanna Kuczyńska, and Jakub Niedźwiedź with an introduction by Marzanna Kuczyńska in collaboration with Bartosz B. Awianowicz, Grzegorz Franczak, and Monika Miazek-Męczyńsk
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
