WARSAW PRAGA – SEARCHING OF IDENTITY
No full textPodstawą rewitalizacji związanej z tożsamością miejsca jest przywrócenie życia, określenie lub odnalezienie ducha miejsca – tożsamości rewitalizowanym obszarom. Genius loci Pragi określają niepowtarzalny charakter, porządek i kompozycja przestrzeni, obiekty, ich struktura i relacje oraz rytm czasu. Do zrozumienia niepowtarzalnego charakteru miejsca niezbędna jest świadomość niewidzialnych
wymiarów przestrzeni oraz jej znaczeń. Magnesem Pragi jest tożsamość: autentyczna tkanka miejska, układ urbanistyczny i architektura, przestrzenie publiczne o charakterze handlowym o ponadwiekowej tradycji, bogata historia, wielokulturowość, społeczność prażan – jako odrębnego środowiska z praską
gwarą, bliskie sąsiedztwo Starego Miasta i skomunikowanie II linią metra z centrum miasta, charakter
artystyczny dzielnicy, bogata infrastruktura społeczna – to wszystko buduje klimat miejsca, który przyciąga środowiska artystyczne, inwestorów i turystów. Autorka przedstawiła charakterystykę tożsamości
warszawskiej Pragi oraz procesy niszczące i budujące ją. Wykazała, iż świadomość istnienia niewidzialnych wymiarów przestrzeni pozwoli zrozumieć obecną popularność Pragi.The basis for revitalization related to identity of the place is the restoration of life with determination in searching for spirit of the place – the identity of revitalized areas. Genius loci of Praga determines not only the unique character, order and composition of district space, relations of structure, and the pace of life, but also unseen dimensions of space and its meaning. That helps to understand the unique nature of the place. Charm of Praga is its identity: authentic urban fabric and layout, historical architecture, public trade spaces with old tradition, rich history, location well connected with II subway line with the Warsaw downtown and location in walk distance to the Old Town, multicultural community of Praga
– separate Praga’s community with its dialect, artistic neighbourhood, rich social infrastructure – all of this creates a specific atmosphere of the place, attracting the artistic society and tourists. The author presents characteristics of Praga’s identity and processes that destroy
or build it. She shows that awareness of the existing invisible space dimensions will allow
understanding current popularity of Praga
Genius Loci of Warsaw District Praga as a Catalyst of the Renewal of Culture of Place
No full textCelem rozważań jest zwrócenie uwagi na współczesne zjawisko odrodzenia kultury na warszawskiej Pradze w oparciu o zjawisko powstawania
„dzielnicy artystycznej”. Zastosowano metody badań niezbędne dla zrozumienia problemu naukowego. Zmiany zachodzące na warszawskiej Pradze, niegdyś dzielnicy kojarzonej wyłącznie z przestępczością i biedą, bezpośrednio bądź pośrednio powiązane są z autentyczną tkaną miejską i lokalnymi tradycjami. Ten unikatowy „praski klimat” spowodował powstanie nowych współczesnych środowisk społecznych – neo-bohemy. Stworzenie przestrzeni, która nie zakłóci charakteru Pragi zwanego potocznie „praskim klimatem”, to nowe zadania dla architektów i urbanistów. W artykule autorka wykazała, iż kluczem do zrozumienia genius loci Pragi stanowi nie tylko świadomość autentyczności architektury, ale również lokalnej społeczności, jej potrzeb, patriotyzmu, hartu ducha, dążeń i niezaprzeczalnego potencjału. Materiał będący wynikiem badań jest wyjściowy dla dalszych opracowań, zakłada się jego rozpowszechnianie wśród projektantów, inwestorów, artystów związanych z warszawską Pragą.The aim of considerations is to draw attention to the modern phenomenon of cultural Renaissance in Warsaw Praga District on the basis of the
phenomenon of “art district”. The author applied the research methods necessary for understanding the scientifi c problem. The changes taking place in Praga, a former district being associated exclusively with crime and poverty, directly or indirectly are related to the authentic structure of municipal and local traditions. This unique “Praga climate” caused the emergence of new contemporary social environments - neo-bohemian. Creating a space that does not disturb the character of Praga, commonly referred to as “Praga atmosphere”, is a new task for architects and urban planners. In the article, the author showed that the key to understanding the “genius loci” of Praga is not only awareness of the authenticity of the architecture, but also the local community, its needs, patriotism, fortitude, aspirations, and undeniable potential. The material resulting from the research is a starting point for further studies, assumed its spread among designers, investors, and artists associated with Warsaw Praga
Métodos de amostragem de insetos‑praga em trigo armazenado a granel
No full textThe objective of this work was to compare methods of sampling insect pests in wheat (Triticum aestivum) grains stored in bulk. The data were collected in three agricultural seasons (2012, 2016, and 2020), 90 days after phosphine fumigation, in 10 replicates. Three treatments were evaluated: pitfall traps, manual probe, and pneumatic probe. During the entire evaluation period, the manual probe showed an inferior performance in sampling live insect pests. The pneumatic probe is more efficient for the collection of maize weevils (Sitophilus zeamais), and the pitfall trap, for capturing the rusty grain beetle (Cryptolestes ferrugineus).O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar métodos de amostragem de insetos-praga em grãos de trigo (Triticum aestivum) armazenados a granel. Os dados foram coletados em três safras agrícolas (2012, 2016 e 2020), 90 dias após o expurgo, em 10 repetições. Foram avaliados três tratamentos: armadilhas de queda, sonda manual e sonda pneumática. Em todo o período avaliado, a sonda manual apresenta desempenho inferior na amostragem de insetos-praga vivos. A sonda pneumática é mais eficiente na coleta de caruncho (Sitophilus zeamais), e a armadilha de queda, na captura de besouro‑dos-grãos (Cryptolestes ferrugineus)
Elocuencia ciceroniana en la Praga barroca: el "De oratore" de Rodrigo de Arriaga (1637)
No full textEste artículo está centrado en la persona de Rodrigo de Arriaga y en su obra titulada “De oratore”, obra que tan sólo cuenta con la edición hecha en 1637 y con puntuales referencias en estudios críticos. En el artículo se procede a situar al autor y su retórica, a describir esta última y a analizar varios conceptos retóricos con la idea de determinar el grado de integración del manual en el conjunto de la obra del jesuita y en el contexto cultural que lo motiva.This paper focuses on Rodrigo de Arriaga and his work “De oratore”, printed only once in 1637 and just cited as a complement of his bio-bibliography. The author and his rhetorical work are briefly explained and described, and several rhetorical concepts are analysed in order to probe the degree of integration of the book both in the production of its author and in the cultural context in which it appeared.Trabajo integrado en el Proyecto de Investigación FFI2008 03246/FILO, subvencionado por el Ministerio de Educación y CienciapeerReviewe
Padre Bresciani nel “Cimitero di Praga”. Eco, riscrittura, citazione
No full textAfter exploring the abundance of quotations and allusions in Umberto Eco’s novel Il cimitero di Praga, this contribution focuses on the presence of passages from nineteenth-century serial narratives and in particular from L’ebreo di Verona by the Jesuit Father Antonio Bresciani. In Eco’s book, a long extract from this novel is delivered by Father Bergamaschi, a character whose biographical traits and psychological features could be related to Bresciani himself. However, the figure of the Jesuit author also lies behind another character, Father Pacchi, whose speech consists of quotations from L’ebreo di Verona. In these passages, Eco alternates between a type of rewriting aimed at linguistic modernization and the insertion of original details
Warsaw’s district of Praga as an urban space of tourist exploration
No full textThe aim of the article is to show that Warsaw’s district of Praga is a space of
tourist exploration, to investigate the processes which led to this phenomenon
and to answer a question of direction, in which the further transitions within this
area can go.
The theoretical framework of this paper is based on the concept of a tourist
space by S. Liszewski (1995). The author distinguished five types of tourist
space and adapted her typology to the urban space (Liszewski 1999). The areas
of tourist exploration within a city include areas undiscovered by mass tourism,
as well as those, commonly visited by tourists. According to S. Liszewski (1999),
the tourist exploration spaces can include residential areas, production areas
(warehousing, industrial), communication areas (stations, airports, seaports) as
well as green and recreational areas (zoos, botanical gardens, parks, cemeteries,
recreational facilities).
This article analyses Warsaw’s district of Praga, defined as three out of four
regions comprising an administrative borough of Praga Północ: Nowa Praga,
Stara Praga and Szmulowizna, according to Civic Information System (see Fig.
2). As far as Warsaw is considered, this area is not particularly outstanding in
terms of population size or cultural values, but it does have a genius loci of
a sort, which is related, among other things, to the fact that this part of the city
was not destroyed during World War II. Since the mid-1990s, artists started to
intensively populate the district (cataloguing performed in October 2010, showed
28 art galleries and artist studios, although it can be assumed that these figures
are lower than the actual amount) and their migration brought the boom of new
trendy cafes and clubs (see Fig. 2). The artists of Praga contributed to the
change of the district’s image.
The Warsaw’s district of Praga fulfils all the criteria of tourist space’s
exploration. It is a unique and interesting part of the city, which is emphasized by
both, artists and interviewed owners of a dozen clubs, bars and restaurants in
the area. Mass tourism has not (yet?) reached this location. Those tourists, who
visit Praga are scarce. Are they attracted to a myth of artistic Praga? They do
not necessarily visit the area to see an art gallery or to explore open artist
studios. Instead, they rather come to see a trendy district, frequently mentioned
by the media.
Praga has a chance to become a space of tourist penetration (although some
of its parts, such as the City Zoo, already function as this type of tourist space).
As one of the photo studio owners in Praga says: “This is Warsaw, at its most
original. (...) If managed properly, this district can become a real tourist-magnet,
although not for all, as not everyone likes this type of ambience”
Padre Bresciani nel "Cimitero di Praga". Eco, riscrittura, citazione
No full textDopo aver illustrato la ricchezza di citazioni e allusioni nel romanzo di Umberto Eco Il cimitero di Praga, il contributo si sofferma sulla presenza di brani prelevati dalla narrativa d'appendice ottocentesca e in particolare da L'ebreo di Verona del padre gesuita Antonio Bresciani: un lungo passo tratto da questo romanzo viene fatto pronunciare al personaggio di padre Bergamaschi, dietro al quale si può riconoscere, anche per alcuni elementi biografici e caratteriali, lo stesso Bresciani; ma la figura dello scrittore gesuita si cela anche dietro un secondo personaggio, padre Pacchi, il cui discorso è formato da un insieme di citazioni da L'ebreo di Verona. Nei brani in questione, Eco alterna alla citazione letterale la riscrittura finalizzata a un ammodernamento linguistico e l'inserimento di particolari inediti.After exploring the abundance of quotations and allusions in Umberto Eco's novel Il cimitero di Praga , this contribution focuses on the presence of passages from nineteenth-century serial narratives and in particular from L'ebreo di Verona by the Jesuit Father Antonio Bresciani.

Os limites do planejamento tributário
No full textTCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Direito.O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso tem como objetivo identificar a maneira com que o Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais se posiciona em relação aos atos e negócios jurídicos praticados pelo contribuinte com a intenção de redução da sua carga tributária. Para tanto, a pesquisa é dividida em três capítulos. O primeiro tem por finalidade apresentar as noções gerais introdutórias do instituto do planejamento tributário, como elementos constituintes, princípios e garantias constitucionais do Direito Tributário, diferenciação entre elisão e evasão fiscal e a norma geral antielisiva. No segundo, conceitua-se os atos e negócios jurídicos praticados pelo contribuinte que parte da doutrina considera como atos ilícitos que invalidariam o planejamento tributário. Por fim, o terceiro capítulo destina-se ao tratamento dado aos planejamentos tributários. Delimita-se o campo a ser estudado entre os diversos julgados sobre a matéria, extraídos do Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais. Por meio destes é possível observar a interpretação utilizada pelo órgão julgador na aplicação de normas que desconsideram os atos ou negócios jurídicos praticados pelo contribuinte, chegando-se à conclusão de que, em que pese a divergência teórica e a falta de positivação sobre o assunto, há sim a tentativa de estabelecer limites para o planejamento tributário
The effects of manual techniques on pain pressure threshold in neck pain - literature review
No full textUvod: Bolečina v vratu predstavlja pomemben javnozdravstveni problem z visoko prevalenco in je najpogosteje posledica preobremenitvenih sprememb ali poškodb vratne hrbtenice, mehkih tkiv ali živčevja. Manifestira se kot lokalizirana bolečina v predelu vratu, ter lahko vodi v omejen obseg gibljivosti, tenzijske glavobole in zmanjšano zaznavanje praga bolečine s pritiskom. Pri obravnavi bolečine v vratu se priporoča uporaba različnih fizioterapevtskih postopkov, kot so: kinezioterapija, inštrumentalna terapija, edukacija pacienta in vse pogosteje tudi manualna terapija. Namen: V diplomskem delu smo želeli prikazati učinke manualnih tehnik na zaznavanje praga bolečine s pritiskom pri pacientih z bolečino v vratu. Metode dela: Pregledana je bila podatkovna zbirka PubMed, iz katere smo na podlagi vključitvenih in izključitvenih kriterijev izbrali raziskave za podrobnejšo analizo, z uporabo naslednjih ključnih besed v angleškem jeziku: neck pain, pain pressure threshold in manual technique. Rezultati: Na podlagi izbora je merilom ustrezalo šest randomiziranih nadzorovanih raziskav, objavljenih v zadnjih desetih letih. V vseh vključenih raziskavah so kot eno od merilnih orodij za oceno intenzitete bolečine uporabili zaznavanje praga bolečine s pritiskom. Z različnimi manualnimi tehnikami so dosegli statistično pomembno izboljšanje zaznavanja praga bolečine s pritiskom na m. trapezius in m. suboccipitales za vsaj 20 % in zmanjšanje intenzitete bolečine za vsaj 30 % pri pacientih z bolečino v vratu. Prav tako se je statistično pomembno izboljšala funkcija pri pacientih z bolečino v vratu. Razprava in zaključek: V pregledu literature smo pokazali, da so manualni postopki ena od učinkovitih in ugodnih konservativnih možnosti za takojšnje in kratkoročno izboljšanje zaznavanja praga bolečine s pritiskom, zmanjšanje bolečine in izboljšanje funkcije posameznikov z bolečino v vratu. Za nadaljnje raziskave bi bilo smiselno ovrednotiti dolgoročne učinke manualnih postopkov pri osebah z bolečino v vratu.Introduction: Neck pain represents a significant public health issue with a high prevalence, most commonly resulting from overuse changes or injury to the cervical spine, soft tissues, or nerves. It manifests as localized pain in the cervical spine region and can lead to limited range of motion, tension headaches, and a decreased pain pressure threshold. Various physiotherapeutic procedures, such as kinesiotherapy, instrumental therapy, patient education, and increasingly manual therapy, are recommended for managing neck pain. Purpose: The aim of this diploma work was to demonstrate the effects of manual techniques on the pain pressure threshold in individuals with neck pain. Methods: The PubMed database was reviewed, and studies were selected for a detailed analysis based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, using the following English keywords: neck pain, pain pressure threshold, and manual technique. Results: Six randomized controlled trials published in the last decade, utilizing pain pressure threshold as a measure of pain intensity, were deemed suitable based on the selection. Various manual techniques statistically significantly improved pain pressure threshold on the trapezius and suboccipital muscles by at least 20 %, along with a minimum 30 % reduction in pain intensity in patients with neck pain. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant improvement in function among patients with neck pain. Discussion and conclusion: The literature review has demonstrated that manual techniques are effective conservative options for immediate and short-term improvement in pain pressure threshold, pain reduction, and enhanced function in individuals with neck pain. Further research should evaluate the long-term effects of manual techniques in individuals with neck pain
