THE FACULTY OF LAW WITHIN THE PERIOD 1919-1990
No full textThe Faculty of Law and Administration of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań has
come into existence on May 7,1919, together with the University as a whole. The Author describes
organizational beginnings involved with creating the Faculty and cites the names of many eminent
professors engaged in the cause as well as primary localization of its particular organizational
units and, also, methods of recruitment and teaching students within the period before the
World War II.
After a presentation of main researches done under the auspices of the Faculty, the Author
recalls first honoris causa doctorates and initiation of co-operation with foreign academic centres
in France, Belgium, Italy and Spain - what was a sign of increasing prestige of the Faculty.
Next the Author draws up vicissitudes o f the Faculty and its employees in the period of World
War II as well as first, very difficult years of the reconstruction of scientific and didactic basis after
the nazi occupation (first academic year was shortened and lasted from April 15 to September 31,
1945). Succesive years of communist indoctrination and „politization” of universities have left
their heavy imprint on the Faculty; courses and conversatories found „needless” have been abolished,
professors found „superfluous” were pensioned regardless their age.
This short historical survey, with particular reference to such dates as 1956, 1958 and 1968,
is ended by the Author with a presentation of the Faculty situation on the turn o f the eighties and
the nineties and, on this general background, the position of the Faculty within new social and
economic factual circumstances is also discussed
Kilka uwag o prawniczych studiach II stopnia w latach 1952–1954
No full text SOME REMARKS ON THE GRADUATE LAW PROGRAMME IN 1952–1954The article is an analysis of graduate law programmes at Polish universities in 1952–1954. Drawing on the literature and sources, the author examines the changes taking place in the educa­tion of lawyers during the period of Stalinist indoctrination. He analyses the two-tier programme of studies and concludes that despite its political connotations the programme was not without some achievements. The most important among them was that it educated avaluable generation of law historians making up for the losses suffered by the profession during the Second World War and in the first few years after it ended.

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
Reflections on a climate and ideological conflicts of the seventeenth century
No full textRecollection of anniversary of the Vienna Victory inclines a historian of law
and political thought to express his opinion. Main streams of intellectual and political
discussion in the seventeenth century Europe are described by the author
as well as peculiarities of climate in Poland in the reign of John III Sobieski
presented against their background. Was it different (and to what degree)
from the climate in 'other countries of that tumultous century? What complexes
of phenomena patterned the ideology of Poles of the last quarter of the 17-th century?
What was the intellectual and ideological heritage contributed to the Sobieski
times by the previous age? Influence of the European thought was
diminishing along the decades. Political culture of the last quarter of the century
was clearly of local, "Sarmatian" descent. It was in the times of first elected
monarchs and subsequently, in the reign of Vasas when the signs of atmosphere
were formed Poland in the age of Sobieski was breathing with. Lasting process of
creating grounds for the domination of oligarchy both in the political system, economy and in ideology was completed in the reign of John Casimir and Michael
Korybut.
Nonetheless the age of Sobieski was something more than a mere continuance
of the previous development. Ideological climate of his times is revealed in
petrifying old principles of the system and political orders. "Sarmatism", synonymous
to conservatism then, and ideology of the golden liberty served as apology
of the contemporary age. Elements of the latter were of extreme democratic character
but in the situation of equilibrium among the combatting political parties
in the country they contributed to strengthen the power of oligarchy. The Viennese
success of Sobieski threatened to upset this equilibrium and therefore, the
year 1683 so manificently distinguished itself in Polish military history for example.
induced fostering of political fights in the country and became one more step
forwards the stagnation of the Saxon age. After the 1683 victory all reforms of
the Court were more successfully stopped by the aristocratic opposition.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
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
