Recenzja: Wiedeński okres w życiu Adolfa Hitlera w ujęciu Brigitte Hamann i Augusta Kubizka
No full text THE VIENNESE PERIOD IN ADOLF HITLER’S LIFE AS PRESENTED BY BRIGITTE HAMANN AND AUGUST KUBIZEKThe article discusses the literature and the findings concerning the relatively least explored questions concerning Adolf Hitler, namely those of his youth. As the author stresses, just over a dec­ade ago Polish readers interested in the Hitler phenomenon knew much less than they do now. Thanks to several books recently published in Poland they have had a chance to considerably expand their knowledge. The present author points to two figures, Brigitte Hamann and August Kubizek, focusing on the similarities and differences in their approach to this period of Hitler’s life.

Poglądy polityczne Żelaznego Kanclerza
No full textPOLITICAL VIEWS OF THE IRON CHANCELLORThe article is devoted to a critical analysis of Mariusz Kopczyński’s interpretation of Otto von Bismarck’s political thought. In the first part of the article the author recalls the earlier Polish attempts to describe the “Iron Chancellor”, noting that they concerned mostly his public activities. In the second part the author argues that although M. Kopczyński’s research did not bring about a “Copernican revolution” in the academic literature dealing with Bismarck, it did make a fresh contribution by describing the Chancellor as a political thinker.POLITICAL VIEWS OF THE IRON CHANCELLORThe article is devoted to a critical analysis of Mariusz Kopczyński’s interpretation of Otto von Bismarck’s political thought.

Recenzja: O naturze przywództwa Adolfa Hitlera w ujęciu Laurence’a Reesa
No full textON ADOLF HITLER’S LEADERSHIP LAURENCE REES, THE DARK CHARISMA OF ADOLF HITLER: LEADING MILLIONS INTO THE ABYSS, TRANSLATED INTO POLISH BY KRZYSZTOF MASŁOWSKI AS ZŁOWROGA CHARYZMA ADOLFA HITLERA. MILIONY PROWADZONE KU PRZEPAŚCI, PRÓSZYNSKI IS-KA, WARSAW 2013In the article the author discusses the evolution of Hitler’s charismatic leadership among the Nazis until 1933 and after their accession to power in Germany – also among other Germans. Drawing on Laurence Rees’ book and other publications the author analyses the reasons, propagandist premises, ideological elements, political determinants and various consequences of the cult or even myth of the NSDAP leader in German society. He presents the successive stages in the growth of Hitler’s charismatic leadership, from the early 1920s to the fall of the Third Reich. He points to the almost uncritical attitude of avast majority of the Germans to their Führer and even their fascination with him, especially in the 1930s and in the early 1940s.ON ADOLF HITLER’S LEADERSHIP LAURENCE REES, THE DARK CHARISMA OF ADOLF HITLER: LEADING MILLIONS INTO THE ABYSS, TRANSLATED INTO POLISH BY KRZYSZTOF MASŁOWSKI AS ZŁOWROGA CHARYZMA ADOLFA HITLERA.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Recenzja: Carl Schmitt i Leo Strauss wobec pozytywizmu prawniczego
No full text CARL SCHMITT AND LEO STRAUSS ON LEGAL POSITIVISMThe article reviews a monograph autored by Łukasz Święcicki. The book is devoted to the critiques of legal positivism which were put forward by two German conservative thinkers, i.e. a lawyer Carl Schmitt and a philosopher Leo Strauss. The said critique is presented on the backround of the accomplishments of Polish scholarly analyses of Germany, with particular attention being paid to the research on German political and legal thought. The author of the article — referencing the contents of Święcicki’s work — discusses the main premises and assumptions of the relevant criticism. While evaluating legal positivism, both Schmitt and Strauss reached similar conclusions even though their personal philosophical positions were vastly different. They both considered the paradigm of legal positivism as an example of modernity in reflection upon law which naturally clashed with the conservative understanding of legal questions.

Adjuvant breast cancer treatments cardiotoxicity and modern methods of detection and prevention of cardiac complications
No full textAbstract The most common cancer diagnosis in female population is breast cancer, which affects every year about 2.0 million women worldwide. In recent years, significant progress has been made in oncological therapy, in systemic treatment, and in radiotherapy of breast cancer. Unfortunately, the improvement in the effectiveness of oncological treatment and prolonging patients' life span is associated with more frequent occurrence of organ complications, which are side effects of this treatment. Current recommendations suggest a periodic monitoring of the cardiovascular system in course of oncological treatment. The monitoring includes the assessment of occurrence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in combination with the evaluation of the left ventricular systolic function using echocardiography and electrocardiography as well as with the analysis of the concentration of cardiac biomarkers. The aim of this review was critical assessment of the breast cancer therapy cardiotoxicity and the analysis of methods its detections. The new cardio‐specific biomarkers in serum, the development of modern imaging techniques (Global Longitudinal Strain and Three‐Dimensional Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) and genotyping, and especially their combined use, may become a useful tool for identifying patients at risk of developing cardiotoxicity, who require further cardiovascular monitoring or cardioprotective therapy
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
