„Cyrk jak ta lala”. O lalkach w cyrku i o cyrku z lalkami
No full textSztuka lalkarska to nie tyko teatr lalek, lecz także lalkowy kabaret, variétés
i cyrk lalkowy. W niniejszym tekście prezentowane są widowiska cyrku
lalkowego, spektakle inspirowane cyrkiem oraz zastosowania elementów lalkowych
w nouveau cirque. Omówiono również performanse rzeźbiarza Alexandra
Caldera, łączące cyrkowe inspiracje z animacją form plastycznych.
Autorka podjęła próbę wyjaśnienia, co skłania artystów do tworzenia widowisk
cyrku lalkowego czy korzystania z estetyki i tematyki cyrkowej w przedstawieniach
teatralnych.Puppetry art it is not only a puppet theatre, but also a puppet cabaret,
a variété and a puppet circus. The text presents puppet circus performances
and circus-inspired puppet theatre shows. It searches for the puppet-inspired
elements in nouveau cirque. Moreover, the article also discusses performances
made by sculptor Alexander Calder which combine circus inspirations and
animated objects. The author tries to explain reasons for preparing puppet
circus performances and the use of circus inspirations and aesthetics in
theatre performances
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
Cyrkowy hołd dla X muzy. Cirque du Soleil i spektakl Iris
No full textCelem autora jest opisanie procesu transkrypcji historii kina na język cyrku.
Artyści z Cirque du Soleil pokazali autorskie przedstawienie Iris, zainspirowane
legendarnymi filmami, takimi jak Przeminęło z wiatrem i Titanic.
Łącząc w sobie taniec, akrobację, wideo, sekwencje filmowane na żywo
i animacje, spektakl zabiera widzów w podróż po historii kina i różnych gatunków
filmowych, wprowadzając publiczność w świat tworzenia filmów.
Przechodząc od ilustracji do animacji, od czarno-białego obrazu do kolorowego,
widzowie mogą śledzić konstrukcję i dekonstrukcję sztuki filmowej
jako dziedziny i swoistego sposobu przekraczania granic tego, co możliwe.
Autor wysuwa tezę, że spektakl Iris ma przywołać uczucia towarzyszące
pierwszym widzom kinowym. Chodzi tu o nostalgię za czasem, gdy kino
przypominało cyrk. Należy pamiętać, że pierwsze pokazy filmowe miały
charakter jarmarczny, zbliżony do klasycznego cyrku. Współcześnie zarówno
kino, jak i cyrk mają status sztuki.The aim of the author is to describe the process of transcription of the history
of the cinema into the language of the circus. The artists from Cirque du Soleil
showed a performance Iris inspired by the legendary films such as Gone with the
Wind and Titanic. Combining dance, acrobatics, video, filmed live sequences and
animations, the performance takes the audience on a journey through the history
of the cinema and a diverse range of film genres, introducing them to the
world of filmmaking. Moving from illustration to animation, from the blackand-
white picture to color, viewers can follow the construction and deconstruction
of the film art as a discipline and a peculiar way of crossing the boundaries
of what is possible. The author puts forward a hypothesis that the show Iris aims
to evoke feelings that accompanied first cinema viewers. It refers to the nostalgia
for the time when the cinema was like a circus. It is worth remembering that
the first screenings were of the fair nature, similar to the classic circus. Today
both the cinema and circus have the status of art
Heterogeneous Class Size Effects: New Evidence from a Panel of University Students
No full textUsing administrative records from a UK university, we present evidence on the effects of class size on students' test scores. We estimate non-linear class size effects controlling for unobserved heterogen-eity of students and faculty. We find that: (i) at the average class size, the effect size is -0.108; (ii) the effect size is negative and significant only for the smallest and largest ranges of class sizes and zero in intermediate class sizes; (iii) students at the top of the test score distribution are more affected by changes in class size, especially when class sizes are very large. © The Author(s).

Childhood and Modernity: The Polish Reception of American Ideals, or a Few Remarks in the Margins of Sylwia Kuźma-Markowska’s book “Dziecko, rodzina i płeć w amerykańskich inicjatywach humanitarnych i filantropijnych w II Rzeczypospolitej”, Warszawa 2018, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego
No full textThe studied monograph concerns attempts at the transfer of modern, American ideals of childhood and the paradigms and norms of family life to Poland. Protective and pedagogic activities based on the rules of “modern philanthropy” are presented in a very noteworthy way, although the author does not employ numerous valuable studies and theoretic and methodological conceptions from Polish scholars.Omawiana książka dotyczy prób przeniesienia do Polski amerykańskich nowoczesnych ideałów dzieciństwa oraz wzorców i norm życia rodzinnego. Interesująco przedstawia działania opiekuńczo-wychowawcze prowadzone w oparciu o zasady „nowoczesnej filantropii”, ale nie wykorzystuje wielu wartościowych opracowań polskich uczonych oraz koncepcji teoretycznych i metodologicznych
Els llibres d'il·lustració infantil i juvenil en l'Educació Artística. Un cas concret a partir de l’autora Olga de Dios
No full textTreball Final de Grau en Mestre o Mestra d'Educació Primària (Pla de 2018). Codi: MP1840. Curs acadèmic: 2021/2022El treball de fi de grau que aneu a veure a continuació, és un projecte que consisteix en com es poden
treballar a les aules de primària els llibres de l’autora i il·lustradora Olga de Dios. Tractant de treballar
el llibre com a objecte artístic a nivell elemental. A més, de presentar a l’autora i il·lustradora, donarla a conèixer i veure els valors que transmet, també llegiríem quatre de les seues obres a l’aula com
són: “Leotolda”, “En familia”, “Rana de Tres Ojos”, i “Pájaro Amarillo”. Tot açò sumat a la
realització d’un quadern de classe on es colorejaria alguns dels seus personatges de les obres seguint
pautes a nivell curricular. Realitzaríem també una eixida a la biblioteca municipal, on a banda de
rebre una educació no formal, ens facilitaria una mica el fet d’endinsar-nos al món de la il·lustració
infantil, on allí dins, el professional encarregat ens guiarà pels llibres que hi haurà a la biblioteca. I,
per a concloure, elaboraríem un llibre creat per l’alumnat on seguint unes pautes establertes per Olga
de Dios al seu llibre “Leotolda” buscaríem fer una retroalimentació intentant contactar amb ella.
D’aquesta manera tancaríem el cicle que vam començar donant-la a conèixer com a escriptora i
il·lustradora, i exploraríem on està el límit de la creativitat del propi alumnat.The final degree project you are going to see below is a project that looks at how books by author and
illustrator Olga de Dios can be worked on in primary school classrooms. Considering the book as an
artistic object at an elementary level. Besides presenting the author and illustrator, introducing her,
and seeing the values she transmits, we would also read four of her works in the classroom, such as:
"Leotolda”, "In the family", "Three-Eyed Frog", and "Yellow Bird.". All this, in addition to the
creation of a class notebook in which some of his characters from her work would be colored
following guidelines at the curricular level. We would also go out to the local library, where in
addition to receiving a non-formal education, it would make it a little easier for us to enter the world
of children's illustration, where inside, the professional in charge will guide us through the books
which will be in the library. And, to conclude, we would make a book created by the students, where
following some guidelines established by Olga de Dios in her book "Leotolda" we would look for
feedback by trying to contact her. In this way, we would close the cycle that we started by presenting
her as an author and illustrator, and we would explore where the limit of creativity of the students
themselves is
Jeanne d’Arc: Was There a Prophet? Reflections on the Book of O. Togoyeva “The Heretic, who Became Holy”
No full textThis article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of O. I. Togoeva, proposed by her as a research method in the monograph «The heretic, who became holy». In it, the author attempted to prove that the national heroine of France, Jeanne d’Arc, was a visionary, a prophet who had predicted individual events of the Hundred Years War. Since contemporaries were not sure who its prophecies come from - from God or from the Devil, we had to perform several procedures using the «discretio spirituum» method, that is, the « discerning of spirits». The first two, held in Chinon and in Poitiers in the spring of 1429, ended with the acquittal of Joan of Arc, the third, completed in Rouen in 1431, with an accusation, and finally, the last - in 1450-1456, - restoration of a good name. One may agree that some contemporaries considered Joan of Arc as a prophet or presented her as a prophet, but the fact that the Maid of Orleans really was a prophet remained unproved. The article shows that other interpretations of the mission of Joan of Arc and her actions are possible, including an explanation of her actions not as a prophet, but as one of the captains of the royal army
The influence of subgrid-scale modelling on the performance of a new non-equilibrium wall-model for large-eddy simulation
No full textThe computational cost of wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) rapidly becomes prohibitive with increasing Reynolds number. Wall-modelled LES attempts to significantly reduce the computational cost of simulating wall-bounded turbulent flows by modelling the effect of the near-wall small-scale motions, rather than fully or partially resolving them. The present study concentrates on a new wall-model that is able to predict fluctuating wall-shear stress given a large-scale velocity input. The velocity input for the model is affected by the choice of subgrid-scale (SGS) model. Therefore, this study also focusses on the impact of the SGS-model on the distribution of quantities at the wall. Results show that the new wall-model is able to resolve more of the wall shear-stress variance than a standard wall-model; and that the SGS-model affects the distribution of fluctuations of both wall-shear stress and wall-pressure
Self-archiving practice and the influence of publisher policies in the social sciences
No full textAuthors in different disciplines exhibit very different behaviours on the so-called ‘green’ road to open access, i.e. self-archiving. This study looks at the self-archiving behaviour of authors publishing in leading journals in six social science disciplines. It tests the hypothesis that authors are self-archiving according to the norms of their respective disciplines rather than following self-archiving policies of publishers, and that, as a result, they are self-archiving significant numbers of publisher PDF versions. It finds significant levels of
self-archiving, as well as significant self-archiving of
the publisher PDF version, in all the disciplines
investigated. Publishers’ self-archiving policies have
no influence on author self-archiving practice
Współczesne oblicza rządomyślności Mityczna podróż bohatera i troska o siebie we współczesnej „literaturze sukcesu”
No full textCelem artykułu jest wstępna rekonstrukcja wyobrażeń na temat
pracy i przedsiębiorczości obecnych w „literaturze sukcesu”. Można doszukać się w niej elementów mitycznej wyprawy bohatera i związanych z nią praktyk odnoszących się do troski o siebie,
które autor traktuje jako dwa wymiary rządomyślności. W pierwszej kolejności przedstawiona została rama teoretyczna analizy, wyznaczana przez dwa kluczowe elementy. Z jednej strony są to
kategorie zaczerpnięte z analiz struktur narracyjnych podejmowanych przez takich autorów jak
Otto Rank, Lord Raglan czy Joseph Campbell, z drugiej zaś wypracowane w późnej fazie twórczości Foucaulta kategorie rządomyślności oraz troski o siebie. Następnie autor proponuje wstępną
analizę tych elementów obecnych w wybranych tekstach. W zakończeniu zawarte zostały wnioski
płynące z analizy oraz dalsze możliwości badań nad „literaturą sukcesu”.The aim of the article is to reconstruct the
depictions of work and entrepreneurship
implicit in the “literature of success”. There are
elements of the mythical hero’s journey and
practices related to care of the self in this kind
of literature, which the author treats as two dimensions
of governmentality. First, the author
presents the theoretical framework of analysis
determined by two key elements. On the one
hand, these are the categories taken from
the studies of narrative structures provided
by such authors as Otto Rank, Lord Raglan
and Joseph Campbell. On the other, there are
Foucault’s late works of governmentality and
care of the self. In the subsequent passage the
author proposes a preliminary analysis of the
basic dimensions of the mythical elements
present in the selected texts. In the last part
of the article, the author presents conclusions
and points out further possibilities for research
on the contemporary “success literature
