“I Pity the Brave Man Willing to Visit Its Countries.” The Lyrical Image of Poetry in the Work of Bogusław Adamowicz
No full textThe article concerns the poem by Bogusław Adamowicz Ta poezja, to rusałka from the volume Gra wyobraźni of the year 1897. The text refers to the lyrical image of poetry contained in the poem, presented as a nymph. Adamowicz, a Polish modernist author, creates a parallel between the features of poetry as a creative act and the attributes given to this Slavonic demon. This poem is definitely distinguishable, both against the background of the other poems by Adamowicz, and in the manner of using Slavonic beliefs in Polish modernist literature

Representative photomicrographs are shown in Fig. 10.

Males have been found in small numbers in collections from sites in North Carolina in May and June; however, they are typically found in the highest abundance in the autumn (Hegyi 1973). Males of this species were not examined in this study, and thus detailed morphometrics cannot be presented. However, Hegyi (1973) presented a photograph and brief description of a male <i>Holopedium</i> which, based on distributional data, is probably <i>H. atlanticum</i>.</p> <p> <b>Differential diagnosis.</b> Although <i>H. atlanticum</i> is morphologically indistinguishable from <i>H. amazonicum</i>, these two species have allopatric distributions reducing the likelihood of genetic exchange (Fig. 4 c,e). <i>Holopedium atlanticum</i> is distinguished from <i>H. acidophilum</i> by the larger size and greater number of anal spines of the latter species. It differs from members of the <i>H. gibberum</i> complex by the absence of a basal spine on either postabdominal claw. <i>Holopedium atlanticum</i> can be biochemically distinguished from <i>H. acidophilum</i> at the <i>Pgm</i> locus, as <i>H. atlanticum</i> produces an enzyme which migrates slower than that of the latter species. COI mtDNA sequence divergence between <i>H. atlanticum</i> and <i>H. amazonicum</i> averages 12.3%, while the divergence between <i>H. atlanticum</i> and <i>H. acidophilum</i> averages 10.6%. Based on current evidence, individuals showing less than 4.8% divergence from a representative COI mtDNA sequence (GenBank AF 245353) belong to <i>H. atlanticum</i>.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> <i>H. atlanticum</i> was found along the Atlantic coast of North America from New Brunswick and Maine south to Florida, (Fig. 4 c). Populations of <i>Holopedium</i> reported by other workers from the southeastern United States are likely also <i>H. atlanticum</i>. Its range overlaps that of <i>H. glacialis</i> in the northeastern USA and southern New Brunswick, where these species occur sympatrically without hybridization. The extent of range overlap with <i>H. glacialis</i> is unresolved by this study, but several workers have identified <i>H. atlanticum</i> (formerly <i>H. amazonicum</i>) as far north as New Brunswick and <i>H. glacialis</i> (formerly <i>H. gibberum</i>) as far south as Tennessee and possibly South Carolina (Coker 1938, Bunting 1970, Hebert & Finston 1997).</p> <p> <b>Breeding system.</b> Males were not detected in populations collected throughout the summer in this study. In a life history study spanning two years, males were most abundant in early spring and late autumn (Hegyi 1973). In some southern localities, populations persist throughout the winter. Due to the existence of males, this species likely reproduces by cyclic parthenogenesis, but there is very little allozyme variation, suggesting that either this species engages in sexual reproduction infrequently or that variation has been trimmed due to a population bottleneck.</p> <p> A note regarding <i>H. groenlandicum</i> and <i>H. ramasarmii</i></p> <p> While individuals from Greenland were not included in the present study, the recently described species <i>H. groenlandicum</i> (Korovchinsky 2005) can purportedly be distinguished from <i>H. gibberum</i> by its “dorsally low shell and jelly envelope, shorter row of valve marginal spinules which are subdivided in groups, and comparatively longer postabdominal claws.” However, shell shape is a highly variable feature, which may be environmentally influenced (Røen 1962) and can depend upon the locality and presence/absence of fish (CLR pers. obs). The body lengths (0.74 to 1.09mm, mean 1.45mm), carapace heights (0.80 to 1.57mm, mean 1.19mm), and H:L ratios (0.641 to 1.000, mean 0.814) found by Korovchinsky (2005) in the Greenland populations fall within the ranges of values found in <i>H. gibberum</i> and <i>H. glacialis</i> populations in the present study (the preceding ranges and means that were not published in Korovchinsky [2005] were provided to CLR by that author). Jelly coat shape may be influenced by preservation (CLR, pers. obs), and therefore this trait may not be a good feature for diagnosing species. Moreover, the degree of carapace margin spinulation is also a highly variable trait within species (present study), although the discontinuous nature of the spinulation in the Greenland populations is noteworthy. Finally, the length of the postabdominal claws reported by Korovchinsky (2005, his Figure 1) is within the range of claw lengths observed for the <i>H. gibberum</i> s.s. populations studied here. Furthermore, the fact that we detected closely related lineages of <i>H. gibberum</i> s.s. in both northern Europe and North America suggests that similar lineages may be found in intervening arctic areas.</p> <p> Individuals from India were also not included in the present study. Consideration of the differences between either of the species in the <i>H. gibberum</i> complex and <i>H. ramasarmii</i> (Rao <i>et al.</i> 1998) is not currently possible due to the poor description of the latter species, lacking in detail. Korovchinsky (2004) labeled this species <i>incertae sedis</i>.</p> <p> We suggest that genetic evidence is required to determine if <i>H. groenlandicum</i> and <i>H. ramasarmii</i> are distinct species or if they are synonymous with described taxa.</p>Published as part of <i>Rowe, Chad L., Adamowicz, Sarah J. & Hebert, Paul D.

Myśl antykomunistyczna w literaturze popularnej. "Do walki z bolszewizmem. W sidłach złudzenia" Stefana Kiedrzyńskiego
No full textAnticommunist thought in popular literature. To combat Bolshevism. Trapped by the illusion by Stefan Kiedrzyński
Strong involvement in current political affairs was not only the domain of writers like Żeromski, and popular literature was equally good at dealing with the issue of anti-communism, often not giving way to the topic of highly artistic literature. The purpose of the chapter: Anticommunist thought in popular literature. To combat Bolshevism. Trapped by the illusion by Stefan Kiedrzyński is an attempt to present anti-communist thought in popular literature against the background of high-artistic literature on the example of selected works by Stefan Kiedrzyński, a forgotten and underappreciated writer of the interwar period. To this end, Agata Adamowicz analyzes the brochure To combat Bolshevism (1920), published under the Kiedrzyński's editorship and, above all, his novel Trapped by the illusion (1939) in reference to First Spring (1924) by Stefan Żeromski, drawing attention to the artist's excellent orientation in the current socio-political situation and the awareness of the threat of spreading the idea of Bolshevism. The author tracks similarities between the writers, that undoubtedly comprise their political commitment, as well as presenting readers the real face of the communist movement, searching for a truly Polish idea in the face of powerful threats from outside, and concern for the future of the young generation. The chapter reveals many similarities between Cezary Baryka and the protagonist of Trapped by the illusion – Ryszard Nahorski, which has not been the subject of research so far. The author points to Kiedrzyński's approach to communism not only as a theory, but as a real danger. The analysis of Stefan Kiedrzyński's texts shows that the writer is not free from anti-Semitism, to some extent succumbing to the myth of the Judeo-communism, which is shown by the creation of the protagonists of Jewish communists taken outright from anti-Semitic brochures. The author also indicates the writer's aversion to atheism, which goes hand in hand with his hostility to communism, and Kiedrzyński's thorough conviction about the deep values of Christianity. On the other hand, Kiedrzyński himself, due to his worldview and attitude to communist doctrine, is counted among the writers of the right-hand side of Polish literature
AB INITIO STRUCTURES AND VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA OF AND
No full text1. J. Kurtz and L. Adamowicz, Astrophys. J. 370, 784 (1991).Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, Jon Carroll University; Department of Chemistry, The Ohio State UniversityKurtz and Adamowicz, working at the level of theory, recently predicted the structures of C7 and C9 to be slightly . When the structures of these molecules were re-examined in the present work using larger basis sets, also treating electron correlation via MP2, they are found to be perfectly linear. Harmonic vibrational frequencies and isotopomer frequency shifts have also been calculated, and will be compared to experiment. The reliability of these frequencies and shifts will be discussed
О свободе воли поэзии. Поэма как форма сопротивления на примере Галины Рымбу и Анны Адамович
No full textIn the article, the author considers the issue of the agency of poetry in the contemporary world, comparing two attitudes: Galina Rymbu and Anna Adamowicz. A comparative analysis of the works of both authors makes us realize that the degree of involvement depends on the personal situation of the writers. It is no coincidence that Rymbu expressis verbis emphasizes the need to break all conventions in poetry and exceed aesthetic norms that condemn women to silence. Her poetry is an example of civil disobedience, which feminist theorists (m.in. Judith Butler) wrote about. Its role would be to point out the potential for the opposition in every human body exposed to public view. Adamowicz, despite the fact that she belongs to the same generation as Rymbu, does not speak as radically as the poet from Russia. Her judgments about the agency of poetry are balanced and even sceptical. However, he believes that it has an effective potential, which in situations of great importance for societies in highly developed countries, redirects attention to problems removed from view (m.in climate crisis). The article\u27s author does not hierarchize their poetry but notes some regularities, thanks to which Rymbu is a local poet and Adamowicz a global one. These labels are illustrative and do not disavow Adamowicz\u27s work in favour of Rymbu. Their poetic activities are attuned to the political situation that organizes their poetic imagination.Autorka w artykule rozważa kwestię sprawczości poezji we współczesnym świecie, porównując dwie postawy: Galiny Rymbu i Anny Adamowicz. Analiza porównawcza utworów obu autorek uświadamia, że stopień zaangażowania zależny jest od osobistej sytuacji piszących. Nieprzypadkowo to Rymbu expressis verbis podkreśla konieczność łamania w poezji wszelkich konwencji i przekraczania norm estetycznych, które skazują kobiety na milczenie. Jej poezja jest przykładem obywatelskiego nieposłuszeństwa, o którym pisały teoretyczki feministyczne (m.in. Judith Butler). Jego rolą byłoby wskazanie na potencjał do sprzeciwu, jaki tkwi w każdym ludzkim ciele wystawionym na widok publiczny. Adamowicz, mimo że metrykalnie należy do tego samego pokolenia co Rymbu, nie wypowiada się tak radykalnie, jak poetka z Rosji. Jej sądy na temat sprawczości poezji są wyważone, a nawet sceptyczne. Uważa jednak, że posiada ona potencjał afektywny, który w sytuacjach o doniosłym znaczeniu dla społeczeństw w krajach wysokorozwiniętych, pozwala na przekierowanie uwagi na problemy usuwane z pola widzenia (m.in. kryzys klimatyczny). Autorka artykułu nie hierarchizuje ich poezji, jednak zauważa pewne prawidłowości, dzięki którym Rymbu jest poetką lokalną, a Adamowicz globalną. Te etykiety mają charakter poglądowy i nie dezawuują twórczości Adamowicz na rzecz Rymbu. Ich działania poetyckie zestrojone są z sytuacją polityczną, która organizuje ich wyobraźnię poetycką.В статье автор рассматривает вопрос о агентности поэзии в современном мире, сравнивая два отношения: Галину Рымбу и Анну Адамович. Сравнительный анализ произведений обоих авторов дает понять, что степень вовлеченности зависит от личного положения писателей. Не случайно Rymbu expressis verbis подчеркивает необходимость нарушить все условности в поэзии и превзойти эстетические нормы, обрекающие женщин на молчание. Ее поэзия является примером гражданского неповиновения, о котором писали феминистские теоретики (m.in. Джудит Батлер). Его роль будет заключаться в том, чтобы указать на потенциал оппозиции, который лежит в каждом человеческом теле, подверженном общественному мнению. Адамович, несмотря на то, что принадлежит к тому же поколению, что и Рымбу, говорит не так радикально, как поэт из России. Ее суждения о свободе воли поэзии сбалансированы и даже скептически. Однако он считает, что она обладает аффективным потенциалом, который в ситуациях, имеющих большое значение для обществ высокоразвитых стран, позволяет перенаправить внимание на проблемы, снятые с глаз (m.in климатического кризиса). Автор статьи не иерархизирует их поэзию, но отмечает некоторые закономерности, благодаря которым Рымбу является местным поэтом, а Адамович — глобальным. Эти ярлыки являются иллюстративными и не дезавуируют работу Адамовича в пользу Rymbu. Их поэтическая деятельность настроена на политическую ситуацию, которая организует их поэтическое воображение
Community phylogenetics: methodological approaches and patterns in subarctic freshwater insect systems
No full textI aimed to expand our understanding of community assembly and species co-existence by examining the implications of phylogenetic robustness on metrics describing phylogenetic community structure, as well as the phylogenetic patterns of co-occurring insect species in Churchill, MB. Using a variety of tree reconstruction methods, I found that cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) was able to accurately estimate phylogenetic community structure metrics calculated from a multi-gene phylogeny when using more biologically realistic approaches. This included incorporating known phylogenetic relationships among families, and methods that employ best-fit models of molecular evolution (i.e. Bayesian inference). My second study examined the phylogenetic community patterns of freshwater insects. Overall communities were phylogenetically clustered suggesting environmental filtering, but community structure varied with time, habitat, taxonomic group, and water chemistry (particularly pH and turbidity). My thesis has suggested more robust techniques for calculating phylogenetic community structure, and described patterns of phylogenetic community composition in subarctic freshwater insects.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of CanadaInternational Barcode of LifeGenome CanadaOntario Genomics InstituteCanadian Foundation for InnovationOntario Ministry of Research, Innovation and ScienceChurchill Northern Studies CentreAboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canad
Od Jądra ciemności przez Serce mroku ku Sercu ciemności, czyli o eksperymentach przekładowych Jacka Dukaja
No full textFrom Jądro ciemności via Serce mroku towards Serce ciemności or on Jacek Dukaj’s Translatory Experiments
The article examines two works by Jacek Dukaj Serce mroku and Serce ciemności. The former is Dukaj’s short story inspired by Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness while the latter is an experimental translation of it. The author argues that in both cases Dukaj uses similar methods for experiential transference. The techniques comprise amplification, explication and condensation, among others. Dukaj called his form of translation „transfiguration or transfusion” whereas the author proposes for this the term transcreation. Transcreation is an aesthetic reinterpretation of the original work suited to a new target language audience. In other words, it is an authorial version of Heart of Darkness which leaves no space for interpretative indeterminacy.</jats:p
Electronic spectroscopy of carbon chain radicals using cw cavity ring down in conjunction with mass detection
No full textThe electronic absorption spectrum of the 2A'' − X 2A'' origin band of the
nonlinear carbon chain radical C6H4
+ was rotationally resolved by cw-CRD
spectroscopy [41]. It was analysed using a least-squares method and the rotational
constants of the ground and excited states were determined accurately. The 581 nm
band observed under the same discharge conditions is assigned to the same electronic
transition of C6H4
+ but involving the excitation of the ν12 vibrational mode in the
upper state based on comparison with ab initio results. The presented data provide a
basis for future observations of the C6H4
+ radical in both millimeter and infrared
regions.
A linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer was constructed to provide on-line
monitoring of the plasma discharge with a mass resolution of 1 amu at a range up to
120 amu. The results from the acetylene/helium plasma discharge are in good
agreement with those obtained using the reflectron TOF mass spectrometer and a
similar ion source [42]. To improve the experimental set-up, the following
modifications can be made:
• Transferring the signal from the oscilloscope directly to a PC via a
GPIB card will increase the speed of data processing;
• Computer control of the voltage applied will make the spectrometer
easier to operate;
• Using a metal grid at ground potential in front of MCP detector will
increase the flight time of ions improving the mass resolution;
• Installing a focusing lens will increase the number of ions arriving at
the detector, and therefore increase the signal on the oscilloscope
