Constructional Flaws of Polish Real Estate Tax – Continuation of Fundamental Interpretation Problems
No full textW artykule przedstawiono aktualne problemy podatku od nieruchomości. Odwołując się przede wszystkim do orzecznictwa sądów administracyjnych, autor pokazuje, że sygnalizowane od lat problemy przyczyniają się do pogłębienia się poziomu wadliwości, jakie należy wiązać z tą daniną. W tekście rozważania oparte są przede wszystkim na dwóch katalogach spraw dotyczących opodatkowania: 1) elektrowni wiatrowych oraz 2) linii elektroenergetycznych położonych w lasach. Autor analizuje, co należy do źródeł tych sporów, jakie wady konstrukcyjne podatku je inicjują. Krytycznie ocenia przy tym działania ustawodawcy, który na problemy reaguje punktowo.The article presents the current real estate tax problems in Poland. Basing primarily on the jurisprudence of administrative courts, the author shows that the problems signaled for years contribute to the deepening of the level of defectiveness in this tax. The considerations are based primarily on two catalogs of matters: (1) concerning taxation of wind farms, and (2) concerning taxation of power lines located in forests. The author shows what is the source of these controversies, critically assessing the actions of the legislator, who reacts to problems only casually
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
Marxist Trait of Revisionism: Leszek Kołakowski’s Consistent Transition to Inconsistent Philosophy
Full text linkIn the article the author describes theoretical reasons that stood behind
Kołakowski's transition from being an orthodox Marxist to become an
actual leader of the polish revisionist movement. His intention is to
concentrate on those aspects of Kołakowski's thought that have not
changed, apart from any biographical and psychological reasons. (1)
First of those features is Kołakowski's inability of completability, the
anti-code disposition. (2) The second trait is the moral attitude, an
intention to influence on people's morality by convincing them that
social and internal (necessarily bound with social) changes are
desirable; that an existential calm demolishes morality. (3) Third
feature concerns the fact that Kołakowski did not attempt to create his
own philosophy, he was rather a historian of ideas, a skeptic, and a
critic

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

Kołakowskiego: marksistowski oraz rewizjonistyczny. Wychodząc
naprzeciw pracom, które dotychczas poruszały tę problematykę, autor
skupia się na tych przekonaniach polskiego myśliciela, które pozostały
niezmienne dla każdego z obu okresów, więcej nawet – które wydały
się leżeć u podstaw porzucenia przezeń marksistowskiej dogmatyki. Są
to kolejno: (1) systemowa niezakończoność filozofii, jej antykodeksowe
nastawienie; (2) potrzeba zaangażowania, związana z pomysłem, że do
podstawowych zadań filozofii należy wpływanie na postawy moralne
oraz ich odpowiednie kształtowanie; (3) antytetyczność podejścia
Kołakowskiego, znajdująca istotny wyraz w przyjmowaniu pozycji
błazna, a także konsekwentne nastawienie na negację zastanych
propozycji światopoglądowych (tak tradycyjnych jak współczesnych
polskiemu myślicielowi).Publikacja została sfinansowana ze środków Ministerstwa Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego w ramach programu Narodowego Programu Rozwoju Humanistyki przyznanych na podstawie decyzji 0014/NPRH4/H3b/83/2016 - projekt „Przygotowanie i publikacja dwóch anglojęzycznych numerów monograficznych Internetowego Magazynu Filozoficznego HYBRIS” (3bH 15 0014 83)
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
