    The petrology and geochemistry of the Montagna Grande-Monte Gibele trachytic shield volcano (Pantelleria, Italy)

    The 45.7 ± 1.0 ka (2σ) eruption of the compositionally zoned (comenditic trachyte to pantellerite) Green Tuff ignimbrite on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, Italy, was followed by the extrusion of a series of post-caldera metaluminous to mildly peralkaline trachyte lavas between 26.2 ± 2.0 and 22.3 ± 2.9 ka (2σ). This study uses whole-rock major- and trace-element compositions, mineral compositions, geothermobarometry, and petrogenetic models to examine the role of trachytes in the evolution of the Pantelleria magma system. Although previous studies have suggested that all of these units are consanguineous and form a liquid line of descent (LLOD) from metaluminous trachyte to peralkaline trachyte and pantellerite, mineralogical and geochemical evidence, as well as the results of modelling, suggest a much more complex origin. The crystallization of alkali feldspar from metaluminous trachyte liquids (descended from alkali to transitional basaltic magma via fractional crystallization) drives the composition of the residual melt to increasingly peralkaline compositions: pantelleritc trachyte first and then, after >65 % crystallization, to pantellerite. This also results in the formation of a syenitic cumulate. Later intrusion of new mafic melt into the cumulate initiates partial melting, which produces comenditic trachyte melts characterized by low concentrations of incompatible trace elements (Rb, Zr, Nb, Th), high concentrations of Ba and Sr, and strong positive Eu anomalies. Entrainment of trachytic alkali feldspars into these melts as antecrysts further enhances these characteristics in whole-rock compositions. The origin of compositional zoning in the Green Tuff can be attributed to fractional crystallization from metaluminous trachyte within the lower pantelleritic portion and to partial melting of the syenitic cumulate for the upper comenditic trachyte portion

    Einige überlegungen zu der zweiten gruppe navigantes in augustins dialog de beata vita

    No full text
    At the beginning of the series of Augustine’s earliest extant literary works are the three philosophical dialogues Contra Academicos, De beata vita and De ordine, which were composed in the autumn of 386 during Augustine’s otium philosophandi in Cassiciacum. In the introductions of all three works, the marine metaphors are widely used. The author compares human life with a stormy sea and sees as the only salvation the port of philosophy. In beata v. 1. 2 Augutin compares the people to whom philosophy can accommodate with navigantes, which he groups in tria genera. Although the people who belong to the respective group are described in detail, the author does not mention names. This arouses research interest and justifies the attempt to propose a representing person for each group. The present work sets itself the goal by parallel reading of beata v. 1. 2, with some passages from Cicero’s Epistulae, Tusculanae disputationes and De officiis to make a new proposal. And this in addition to the currently existing assumption that Romanianus, to whom the dialogue Contra Academicos is dedicated, should be considered as a representative of the second group of seafarers. However, the author of the present work now ventures a completely new approach, in which Cicero can be accepted as a representative of this group

    Nieustanne zmiany zachodzące w technologicznym i społeczno-kulturowym otoczeniu nie pozostają bez wpływu na sferę badań marketingowych. Powszechność dostępu do Internetu i rosnąca swoboda korzystania z tego narzędzia komunikacji powoduje stałe zainteresowanie wśród przedsiębiorstw realizacją badań marketingowych w przestrzeni wirtualnej. Zjawisko to nie omija naturalnie także metod jakościowych. Potencjalna możliwość uzyskania jakościowych danych pierwotnych w krótkim czasie i przy relatywnie niskich nakładach finansowych stanowi dla praktyków życia gospodarczego kluczowy argument przemawiający za poszukiwaniem nowych rozwiązań metodycznych angażujących nowoczesne rozwiązania technologiczne i Internet do realizacji badań także w tym eksploracyjnym nurcie metodycznym. Zmiany wydają się nieuniknione. Warto jednak przyglądać się wpływowi owych zmian na zakres możliwych do pozyskania danych i ich wiarygodności. Wybór Internetu jako miejsca realizacji badań jakościowych niesie ze sobą bez wątpienia wiele możliwości, stwarza jednak określone ograniczenia zarówno dla przebiegu procesu realizacji badań oraz jakości pozyskiwanych danych. Przedmiotem pracy badawczej uczyniono analizę porównawczą dwóch jakościowych technik badawczych – zogniskowanego wywiadu grupowego (klasyczny FGI – focus group interview), realizowanego w oparciu o bezpo-średni kontakt moderatora z osobami badanymi oraz wywiadu grupowego realizowanego za pośrednictwem Internetu (FGI-online). Celem opracowania jest dokonanie porównania mocnych i słabych stron obu jakościowych technik realizacyjnych z perspektywy kluczowych etapów procesu badawczego. Opracowanie oparte zostało o studia literatury przedmiotu z zakresu metodyki badań społecznych, badań marketingowych oraz psychologiiOngoing changes in technological and socio-cultural settings influence not only marketing activity of companies, but also market research domain. The potential of the Internet is increasing-ly being recognised by market research users, market researchers, as well as academics. The new digital settings have been providing strong impact to the development of new market research approaches, also in field of qualitative research methods. This paper contributes to the debate surrounding the value of qualitative online research in comparison to standard methodology. The main objective of the paper is to compare two of qualitative techniques: standard face-to-face focus groups as well as online focus groups via communicator (chat). The cyberspace generate a lot of methodological challenges for qualitative market research. Going through particular stages of the qualitative research process this paper discusses the opportunities, as well as limitations of standard and online qualitative market research techniques

    O „Damianie Capenece” Aleksandra Świętochowskiego. Zmagania z legendą

    The objective of this paper is to analyse Aleksander Świętochowski’s debut novella series O życie [Oh Life], with particular emphasis on the opening novella. The reflections focus on Damian Capenko, a novella showcasing its relationship with the worldview of the second half of the 19th century and tendentious literature. The author proposes an interpretation of the work in the light of Dumania pesymisty [Musings of a Pessimist], an earlier series of texts by Świętochowski, one of the most outstanding creators of Positivist literature in Poland. As a result of the analyses, the relationship between the texts and the initial ideas of the Polish Positivism programme is explained, along with the apparent artistic inconsistency of the series. Celem artykułu jest analiza debiutanckiego cyklu nowelistycznego O życie Aleksandra Świętochowskiego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem utworu otwierającego tom. Rozważania koncentrują się na opowiadaniu Damian Capenko, ukazując jego związek ze światopoglądem drugiej połowy XIX wieku, literaturą tendencyjną. Autor proponuje interpretację utworu w świetle Dumań pesymisty, wcześniejszego cyklu wypowiedzi publicystycznych Świętochowskiego, jednego z najwybitniejszych twórców literatury pozytywizmu w Polsce. W wyniku przeprowadzonych analiz wyjaśniony zostaje związek tekstów z początkowymi ideami programu polskiego pozytywizmu, a także pozorna niespójność artystyczna cyklu

It belongs to the group of disease that increase the risk of occurrence of cardiovascular complications, which if left untreated can lead to sudden death. It is estimated that in Poland currently 32% of the population suffers from arterial hypertension. Despite great progress in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, it is still a huge medical-socio-economic problem. Increasing the emphasis on patient education can significantly affect self-control, adaptation to recommendations and, consequently, in the future perspective will reduce the mortality rate among patients with this disease. The aim of this work is to draw attention to the still present problems of patients with hypertension by presenting the currently valid definition, epidemiology, etiology of the disease, complications and methods of treatment. Key words: arterial hypertension, definition, epidemiology, etiology, complications, treatmen

    Nuove acquisizioni sullo Specchio di Illuminazione della Beata Illuminata Bembo

    No full text
    The discovery of some fifteenth-century manuscripts of the Specchio di Illuminazione of Beata Bembo in the so-called “Archivio della Beata Cate­rina”, kept in the Archbishop’s General Archive of Bologna, has opened up new and completely unexpected perspectives on the hagiography of St. Cathe­rine of Vigri, revealing a multiform and complex evolution of this work. Two new editions have emerged, different from the one known so far: one shorter and widely epitomized, the second longer, with significant inserts, concen­trated mainly in chapters VI-IX. Based on some significant clues, the author hypothesizes that this drafting chronologically precedes that of the so-called “autograph” and that it has been the subject of a series of second thoughts and complaints by the author herself or her circle. Some 16th century codices have also emerged, witnesses of the drafting known so far, but not without interest. Very recent paleographic studies had questioned the real autography of the edi­ted manuscript. A first examination of the new acquisitions seems to confirm that they do not derive from the “autograph”, presenting several lessons and disjunctive errors.La scoperta di alcuni manoscritti del XV secolo dello Specchio di Illuminazionedella Beata Bembo nel cosiddetto “Archivio della Beata Caterina”,custodito presso l’Archivio generale arcivescovile di Bologna, ha spalancatonuove prospettive, del tutto inattese, sull’agiografia di santa Caterina de’Vigri, rivelando un’evoluzione multiforme e complessa di quest’opera. Sono emerse due nuove redazioni, diverse da quella finora nota: l’una più breve e ampiamente epitomata, la seconda più lunga, con significativi inserti, concentrati soprattutto nei capitoli VI-IX. Sulla base di alcuni indizi significativi, l’autore ipotizza che questa redazione preceda cronologicamente quella del cosiddetto “autografo” e che sia stata oggetto di una serie di ripensamentie di censure da parte dell’autrice stessa o della sua cerchia. Sonoemersi anche alcuni codici del XVI secolo, testimoni della redazione finoranota, ma non privi di interesse. Recentissimi studi paleografici avevano messo in discussione la reale autografia del manoscritto edito. Un primo esame delle nuove acquisizioni sembra confermare che esse non derivino dall’“autografo”, presentando diverse lezioni ed errori disgiuntivi

    Grażyna joins the game

    A review of Radosław Rychcik's Grażyny (Ludwik Solski Theater in Tarnów, premiere: 23.05.2015) presented during the 2nd New Theater Festival in Rzeszów (23-30.10.2015). Beata Kustra interprets the performance mainly through the lens of Maria Janion's book Women and the Spirit of Otherness, quoted at the beginning of the performance. The author attempts to show that Rychcik adopts Janion's perspective, showing Grażyna to be a woman who adopted the male social role and who can become a heroine only posthumously - when her heroic deed becomes a myth. Kustra points out many motifs and devices used by the director and comes to the conclusion that some served only to make the performance more attractive

    Santo Agostinho apresenta a posse de Deus como o porto da felicidade. Deste modo, veremos que com o diálogo De Beata Vita, o autor oferece uma resposta para tal questionamento, a partir de uma noção de felicidade que consiste no perfeito conhecimento de Deus. Assim, abordaremos a referida questão com a finalidade de tornar mais evidente a concepção agostiniana de felicidade e realização humana.Saint Augustine has the possession of God as the happiness of the harbor. Thus, we seethat with the De Vita Beata dialogue, the author offers na answer to this question, from a sense of happiness consists in the perfect knowledge of God. Thus, we will address that question in order to make it clear the Augustinian conception of happiness and human fulfillment.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES

    The non- -existent wall? The problem of describing Muranów

    No full text
    The article presents the problem of recovering the memory of the Warsaw district of Muranów, the site of the WW2 ghetto in recent literature. Referring to one of the first works devoted to this subject (Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s Umschlagplatz), the author reveals subsequent changes in the treatment Jacek Leociak, Beata Chomątowska and Elżbieta Janicka’s of the issue in their books. Indicating the oscillation between remembrance and forgetting about the ghetto, the authors adopt different perspectives to touch upon the ambiguous presence of the area's former inhabitants in the consciousness of today’s Varsovians. Their ways of focusing attention on this question may be termed a commemorative perspective, focused on the psychology of space and critical discourse. Though signaling the problem differently, the authors are united in emphasising the problems related to the Polish memory of the Warsaw ghetto
