No full textThe purpose of this article is to outline the theoretical assumptions of the research project which is biographical learning of Halina Semenowicz. The result of qualitative research is planned to build grounded theory relating to the biographical learning, Halina Semenowicz. The analyzes the author used the biographical research methodology by Fritz Schützego. The author begins by presenting a theoretical context by various researchers to understand the biographical learning units. Then discusses the figure of Halina Semenowicz that in pedagogical circles is known as a precursor of Celestin Freinet techniques. Presents, from the formal, left by Halina Semenowicz daires that wrote for thirty-five years of her life, and also discusses the dairy from 1981, the areas of learning that can be specified during the reading of that journal
The chemistry of Jędrzej Śniadecki
No full textIn Poland, Jędrzej Śniadecki was a continuator and one of the promoters of the French school of chemistry, initiated by the works of Antoine Lavoisier. Śniadecki came into contact with the foundations of this school, which included a new definition of the chemical elements, the principle of mass conservation and the oxygen theory of combustion, while still studying at the university in Kraków. His later studies at European universities and his knowledge of the most recent literature ultimately channelled his views on chemistry. This was reflected in Śniadecki’s academic publications, in particular in his textbook: Początki chemii: stosownie do teraźniejszego tey umiejętności stanu dla pożytku uczniów i słuchaczów ułożony y za wzór lekcyi akademickich służyć mające (The Beginnings of Chemistry: Composed in Accordance with the Current State of This Skill for the Benefit of Students and Auditors to Be Used as a Model for Academic Classes) Vilnius, 1800. It was the first original chemistry textbook in the Polish language. The author used his own chemical terminology, modelled after the new French terminology. The Polish systemic chemical terminology, which conveyed information about the type and composition of a given substance, had been introduced by Śniadecki three years earlier, during his lectures at Vilnius University. The names proposed by Śniadecki caught on and were used in Poland for several decades. Jędrzej Śniadecki’s original contribution to global science was his theory that explained the phenomenon of life and the interdependencies between matter in the animate and inanimate world. This theory, published in the years 1804–1811, in Warsaw in three parts, was translated into German and French. The Polish edition was entitled Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego medycyny doktora Teoria jestestw organicznych ( Theory of Organic Beings by Jędrzej Śniadecki, Medical Doctor). The first part was of great significance for the development of organic chemistry. When this work is compared with later publications by Justus Liebig, it can be shown that Śniadecki’s views had an impact on the writings of this German scholar
The Academy of Arts and Sciences in Krakow (1872–1918) and its Czech members
No full textCelem artykułu jest ukazanie wpływu, jaki słowianofilstwo czeskie wywierało na kształtowanie się składu osobowego Akademii Umiejętności w Krakowie. Obejmuje on okres, kiedy odrodzony naród czeski poszukiwał wspólnoty z innymi narodami słowiańskimim i to przede wszystkim było czynnikiem sprawczym wzmożonego zainteresowania czeskich uczonych filologiami słowiańskimi, własną historią oraz historią Europy Środkowo- wschodniej, naukami społecznymi, prawnymi itd. Z analizy sprawozdań z działalności Akademii Umiejętności w Krakowie od początku jej funkcjonowania (1872) aż do przekształcenia w Polską Akademię Umiejętności (1919) wynika, że ten rozkwit ukierunkowanej wspólnotowo czeskiej humanistyki spotkał się z pozytywnym oddźwiękiem ze strony krakowskiego środowiska naukowego. Jednym z dowodów na to jest fakt, iż czescy humaniści tworzyli najliczniejszą grupę wśrod wszystkich cudzoziemskich członków Akademii w Krakowie.
Pismo cesarza Franciszka Jozefa I z dnia 2 maja 1871 roku, adresowane do ministra wyznań i oświaty Josefa Jirečka, było formalnym początkiem organizowania w Krakowie Akademii Umiejętności. Na jej protektora cesarz wyznaczył arcyksięcia Karola Ludwika. Członkami Akademii byli uczeni ze wszystkich ziem polskich i Polacy na emigracji. Fundusze pochodziły z dotacji państwowej oraz od prywatnych sponsorow. Akademia prowadziła dużą działalność wydawniczą.
Akademia miała trzy wydziały: I. Filologiczny, II. Historyczno‑Filozoficzny, III. Matematyczno‑Przyrodniczy. W ich skład wchodzili członkowie krajowi i zagraniczni. Wśród
tych drugich liczną grupę stanowili czescy uczeni.
Członkami Wydziału I byli: Josef Jireček – filolog, etnograf, historyk; Vaclav Štulc – ksiądz katolicki, pisarz, poeta, tłumacz; Jan Gebauer – twórca nowej gramatyki czeskiej; Zikmund Winter – historyk; Jan Kvičala – filolog klasyczny, pedagog i polityk; Vaclav Vondrak – slawista.
Do Wydziału II należeli: František Palacky – historyk, polityk; Antonin Randa – historyk; Vaclav Vladivoj Tomek – historyk, pedagog, polityk; Jaroslav Goll – historyk, poeta; Karel Kadlec – prawnik, historyk prawa, tłumacz; Emil Ott – prawnik; Jaromir Čelakovsky – prawnik, polityk.
W skład Wydziału III wchodzili: Karl von Rokitansky – anatomopatolog; Bohuslav Brauner – chemik; František Vejdovsky – zoolog.The article shows that the Czech humanists formed the largest group among the foreign
members of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Krakow. It is mainly based on the
reports of the activities of the Academy.
The Academy of Arts and Sciences in Krakow was established by transforming the
Krakow Learned Society. The Statute of the newly founded Academy was approved by
a decision of the Emperor Franz Joseph I on February 16, 1872. The Emperor nominated
his brother Archduke Karl Ludwig as the Academy’s Protector.
The Academy was assigned to take charge of research matters related to different
fields of science: philology (mainly Polish and other Slavic languages); history of literature;
history of art; philosophical; political and legal sciences; history and archaeology; mathematical
sciences, life sciences, Earth sciences and medical sciences. In order to make it
possible for the Academy to manage so many research topics, it was divided into three
classes: a philological class, a historico‑philosophical
class, and a class for mathematics
and natural sciences. Each class was allowed to establish its own commissions dealing
with different branches of science.
The first members of the Academy were chosen from among the members of the Krakow
Learned Society. It was a 12‑person
group including only local members, approved by the Emperor. It was also them who elected the first President of the Academy, Jozef Majer,
and the Secretary General, Jozef Szujski, from this group.
By the end of 1872, the organization of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Krakow
was completed. It had its administration, management and three classes that were
managed by the respective directors and secretaries. It also had three commissions, taken
over from the Krakow Learned Society, namely: the Physiographic Commission, the
Bibliographic Commission and the Linguistic Commission. At that time, the Academy
had only a total of 24 active members who had the right to elect non‑
resident and foreign
members. Each election had to be approved by the Emperor.
The first public plenary session of the Academy was held in May 1873. After the
speeches had been delivered, a list of candidates for new members of the Academy was
read out. There were five people on the list, three of which were Czech: Josef Jireček, František
Palacky and Karl Rokitansky. The second on the list was – since February 18, 1860 –
a correspondent member of the Krakow Learned Society, already dissolved at the time.
They were approved by the Emperor Franz Joseph in his rescript of July 7, 1873.
Josef Jireček (1825–1888) became a member of the Philological Class. He was an expert
on Czech literature, an ethnographer and a historian. František Palacky (1798–1876)
became a member of the Historico‑Philosophical
Class. The third person from this group,
Karl Rokitansky (1804–1878), became a member of the Class for Mathematics and Natural
Sciences.
The mere fact that the first foreigners were elected as members of the Academy was
a perfect example of the criteria according to which the Academy selected its active members.
From among the humanists, it accepted those researchers whose research had been
linked to Polish matters and issues. That is why until the end of World War I, the Czech
representatives of social sciences were the biggest group among the foreign members of
the Academy. As for the members of the Class for Mathematics and Natural Sciences, the
Academy invited scientists enjoying exceptional recognition in the world. These criteria
were binding throughout the following years.
The Academy elected two other humanists as its members during the session held on
October 31, 1877 and these were Vaclav Svatopluk Štulc (1814–1887) and Antonin Randa
(1834–1914). Vaclav Svatopluk Štulc became a member of the Philological Class and Antonin
Randa became a member of the Historico‑Philosophical
Class.
The next Czech scholar who became a member of the Academy of Arts and Scientists
in Krakow was Vaclav Vladivoj Tomek (1818–1905). It was the Historico‑Philosophical
Class that elected him, which happened on May 2, 1881.
On May 14, 1888, the Krakow Academy again elected a Czech scholar as its active
member. This time it was Jan Gebauer (1838–1907), who was to replace Vaclav Štulc, who
had died a few months earlier.
Further Czech members of the Krakow Academy were elected at the session on December
4, 1899. This time it was again humanists who became the new members: Zikmund
Winter (1846–1912), Emil Ott (1845–1924) and Jaroslav Goll (1846–1929).
Two years later, on November 29, 1901, Jan Kvičala (1834–1908) and Jaromir Čelakovsky
(1846–1914) were elected as members of the Krakow Academy. Kvičala became
a member of the Philological Class and Čelakovsky – a corresponding member of the
Historical‑Philosophical
Class.
The next member of the Krakow Academy was František Vejdovsky (1849–1939)
elected by the Class for Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Six years later, a chemist, Bohuslav
Brauner (1855–1935), became a member of the same Class.
The last Czech scientists who had been elected as members of the Academy of Arts
and Sciences in Krakow before the end of the World War I were two humanists: Karel
Kadlec (1865–1928) and Vaclav Vondrak (1859–1925).
The founding of the Czech Royal Academy of Sciences in Prague in 1890 strengthened
the cooperation between Czech and Polish scientists and humanists
Swiss experiences of Ignacy Mościcki
Full text linkIn Fribourg, Ignacy Mościcki found favorable conditions for the development of his engineering talents. He was one of the founders of the Swiss nitrogen and electrical industry. He announced the results of his works in Polish, German and French scientific journals. This was followed by rapid adaptation of Mościcki’s discoveries and inventions regarding the dielectric properties, the construction of technical high voltage capacitors, the construction of fuses protecting the electrical transmission lines against lightning, production of nitric acid from the air, the construction of devices used for absorption of gaseous substances, etc. His experience Mościcki transferred to Lvov
