Jacek Dehnel – obraz tłumacza
This article attempts to present Jacek Dehnel as a translator. For this purpose, the author refers to selected works discussing Jacek Dehnel as a writer, poet, translator, and artist. In addition, the author uses Jacek Dehnel's statements on translation made in interviews and his critical comments on poetry and prose translations. The author assumes that a discussion on Jacek Dehnel's (or any other translator's) professional activity solely from the perspective of the texts of their translations would be insufficient. In the article, the author suggests that Jacek Dehnel pays particular attention to non-standard varieties of language in his prose, which in turn may influence his translation decisions. The article notes that when it appears impossible to convey the character of the original language in its entirety, Dehnel has been a proponent of departing from the form of the source text to save its exact meaning - also in poetry translation. The article concludes that Jacek Dehnel is familiar with many views on literary translation, he is interested in its theory, willingly participates in discussions in this field, and reviews other translations. Dehnel treats literature as the best source of knowledge about writing and translation. Despite his unquestionable literary, poetic, and translation achievements, Dehnel does not deny that he is still learning how to write and translate from others. The article is also an invitation to further discussion and critical analysis of Jacek Dehnel's translations.Artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia sylwetki Jacka Dehnela jako tłumacza. Autor opiera się na wybranych pracach, omawiających dotychczasowy dorobek Jacka Dehnela jako pisarza, poety, tłumacza oraz artysty. W artykule wykorzystano wypowiedzi Jacka Dehnela na temat tłumaczenia udzielone w wywiadach oraz jego komentarze krytyczne, dotyczące przekładów poezji i prozy. Autor wychodzi z założenia, że omówienie translatorskiej działalności Jacka Dehnela (oraz każdego innego tłumacza) jedynie przez pryzmat tekstów jego przekładów byłoby niewystarczające. Artykuł jest zatem zaproszeniem do dalszej dyskusji i krytycznej analizy tłumaczeń pióra Jacka Dehnela.

Monitoring of the Topmouth Gudgeon, <I>Pseudorasbora Parva</I> (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) in a Small Upland Ciemięga River, Poland
Background. The topmouth gudgeon, Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846) (known also as stone moroko), is an alien species of the fish fauna of many European freshwater ecosystems. In large quantities, its may affect negatively the fish fauna and the functioning of ecosystems. It competes for food with native fish species and they occupy their habitat. The knowledge about the invasion dynamics may help to find suitable control measures. The aim of this study was to find and observe the population of P. parva in a small river. Materials and methods. Inventory fishing on three sampling sites at the CiemiÄ™ga River was carried out from 2003 to 2007. The abundance and density of P. parva in the river were calculated. The size distribution of P. parva and its length–weight relation were determined. Abundance, density, length, and mass of the fish from all study sites were analyzed statistically. Results. P. parva was first recorded in the CiemiÄ™ga River in the autumn of 2005. The abundance of P. parva in relation to the structure of the local ichthyofauna was the smallest in the spring and the highest in autumn. The total length of P. parva ranged from 15 to 104 mm, and the mass from 0.2 to 10.4 g. Taking into account the number of the specimens, P. parva constituted between 0.9% and 57.2% of the local ichthyofauna, while its mass ranged from 0.0% to 35.1% depending on the study site and the season. The density of P. parva ranged from 72.9 to 6.5 CPUEN, while the mean value for the river was 30.6 CPUEN. Conclusion. In Polish waters P. parva is an alien species and there is still little information about its occurrence in the flowing waters. Since 2005, this species was present almost in all inventory catches in the CiemiÄ™ga River. Its presence was dependent on the kind of the habitat and the presence of predatory fish species (eg brown trout). P. parva occurring numerous may be a lot of competition for native fish species, and therefore an important problem is to understand his habitat preferences and interactions with native fish species
Jacek Salij's Contemporary Apology of Church
Trudno mówić o Kościele i bronić go we współczesnym świecie. Nie boi się jednak tego zadania polski dominikanin Jacek Salij, który dokonuje swoistej apologii Kościoła. W niniejszym artykule w kilku punktach autor ukazał oryginalność i aktualność eklezjologicznej myśli Jacka Salija. Wielką zaletą teologii o. Salija jest komunikatywność i obrazowość. Apologia Kościoła tego dominikanina bez wątpienia pozwala na nowo spojrzeć na Kościół dzisiejszemu człowiekowi.Nowadays speaking about the Church and defending it is a very big challenge. However a Polish Dominican Jacek Salij is not afraid of this task and he performs a kind of apology for the Church. In this article in several points the author shows originality and timeliness of the ecclesiological thought of Jacek Salij. The great advantage of his theology is communication and imagery. Certainly the apology of Church of the Black Friar gives modern man a new look at the Church
Age and growth rate of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) from a special angling lake Skomielno
During control fishing surveys carried out in the 2005 and 2006 on the special angling lake Skomielno, 56 perches were captured and their scales examined for determination of this species age and growth rate. There were performed individual measurements of fish, while its growth rate and body weight were established by the length-based methods and back-reading procedure. Perch condition was determined by calculating the Fulton coefficient. The age of perch from Skomielno fishing site ranged within I+ up to VIII+ age classes, while IV+ age group was a clear dominant (contributing 30.5% of all fish examined) as well as VI+ (22.2% of fish). The highest average perch length increment was recorded for juvenile fish of VII+ age-group (172 g) and slightly lower for V+ and VI+ ones, i.e. 91 g, 80 g, respectively. A condition coefficient calcu-lated for perches from Skomielno Lake averaged 2.3
Understanding Reform: The Case of Poland
This report reviews the reform process in Poland in the period 1989-2001, from the formation of the first non-Communist government to the defeat of right-wing forces in the 2001 parliamentary elections and the formation of a governing left-wing coalition of social democrats and the peasants’ party (both of them with roots in the Communist era). It reconstructs the sequence of reforms, assesses their relative successes, and focuses on the problem of the stagnation of the reform process at the end of the 1990s.Poland, reform, transition
Prisustvo i populacione karakteristike invazivne vrste amurski spavač (perccottus glenii) u mrtvajama u jugoistočnom delu Poljske
Amur sleeper (Perccottus glenii, Dybowski 1877) is fish which in recent years has been regarded as an alien fish species in natural water ecosystems of Central Europe. In Poland, it was first recorded in 1993 in the middle part of the Vistula River. Because of its morphological and biological predispositions it is a threat to natural water ecosystems. This fish is characterized by high voracity, resistance to adverse environmental factors and a number of features conducive to invasion. The aim of this study was to determine the presence, abundance and percentage contribution of Amur sleeper in the fish fauna of oxbow lakes located in south-eastern Poland.
The study was conducted on two different terms (June and August) in 2012 in six oxbow lakes (No 1-6) located in the Wieprz River basin. Control fishing was carried out using electric fishing gear (IUP-12, 220-250V, 7A). All caught fish were identified to species and their total length (Lt; ± 1 mm) and weight were measured (W; ± 0.1 g). The species composition of the fish fauna of the oxbow lakes and the abundance of Amur sleeper were determined, as well as the size structure and density (in CPUE, i.e. ind.*100m-2*h-1 of fishing) of Amur sleeper.
A total of 14 fish species were found in the oxbow lakes. Amur sleeper was reported in four of the six surveyed oxbows. The total length of Amur sleeper ranged from 34 mm to 128 mm (on average 55 ± 26 mm) and varied depending on the study site. The average biomass of Amur sleeper was 5.4 g (± 7.3 g), ranging from 1.3 g to 11.8 g. The proportional contribution of Amur sleeper in the abundance of fish ranged from 40% in the oxbow in the vicinity of Latyczów (No 2) to 67.3% in the oxbow lake near the town of Wał (No 6). The density of this alien species ranged from 4.0 to 35.6 CPUE and depended on the study site. The size structure of the Amur sleeper population was clearly dominated by individuals with a total length of less than 50 mm.
To identify and determine the routes of dispersion of Amur sleeper into new areas, continuous fish fauna monitoring should be conducted. Moreover, it would be useful to find biological features of this species that would enable its elimination from freshwater ecosystems.Amurski spavač (Perccottus glenii, Dybowski 1877) je vrsta ribe koja se u toku poslednjih godina smatra alohtonom vrstom za prirodne vodene ekosistemime Centralne Evrope. U Poljskoj je prvi put zabeležena 1993. godine u srednjem delu reke Vistula. Zbog njenih morfoloških i bioloških predispozicija ona predstavlja pretnju za prirodne vodene ekosisteme. Ova vrsta ribe se karakteriše velikom proždrljivošću, otpornošću na nepovoljne faktore sredine i brojnim drugim odlikama karakterističnim za invazione vrste. Cilj ove studije je bio da se odredi prisustvo, abundanca i procentualni udeo amurskog spavača u fauni riba u mrtvajama koje se nalaze u jugoistočnom delu Poljske.
Istraživanja su obavljena u toku dva dana 2012. godine i obuhvatila su šest mrtvaja (No 1-6) koje se nalaze u basenu reke Wieprz. Izlov ribe je izvršen korišćenjem aparata za elektroribolov (IUP-12, 220-250V, 7A). Svi izlovljeni primerci riba su određeni do nivoa vrste i izmerena je njihova totalna dužina (Lt; ± 1 mm) i totalna težina (W; ± 1 g). Određen je ihtiofaunistički sastav mrtvaja i abundanca amurskog spavača, kao i dužinska i težinska struktura i gustina (kao CPUE, tj. ind.*100m-2*h-1 izlovaljavanja) ove vrste.
Ukupno je nađeno 14 vrsta riba u istraživanim mrtvajama. Amurski spavač je nađen u 4 od 6 ispitivanih mrtvaja. Totalna dužina amurskog spavača je bila u rangu od 34 mm do 128 mm. (u proseku 55 ± 26 mm) i varirala je u zavisnosti od istraživanog lokaliteta. Prosečna biomasa amurskog spavača je bila 5.4 ± 7.3 g i varirala je od 1 g to 12 g. Proporcionalni udeo amurskog spavača u abundanci riba je varirao od 40% u mrtvaji u blizini lokacije Latyczów (No 2) do 67.3% u mrtvaji u blizini grada Wał (No 6). Gustina ove alohtone vrste je varirala od 4.0 do 35.6 CPUE i zavisila je od istraživanog lokaliteta. U dužinskoj strukturi populacije amurskog spavača dominirale su jedinke sa totalnom dužinom manjom od 50 mm.
U cilju identifikacije i određivanja puteva širenja amurskog spavača u nove oblasti, potrebno je vršiti kontinualni monitoring ihtiofaune. Štaviše, bilo bi korisno pronaći biološke karakteristike ove vrste koje bi omogućile njenu eliminaciju iz slatkovodnih ekosistema
Le mani di Jacek Woszczerowicz, attore “di composizione” [An actor of composition. Jacek Woszczerowicz's hands]
"The article aims to draw attention back to the art of Jacek Woszczerowicz, once a
well-known and beloved Polish actor. It focuses on his peculiar acting style by analyzing two
adaptations of stage dramas and a documentary of a theatrical masterpiece Richard III (1960). In
particular, the author highlights Woszczerowicz’s work on gesture and the role played by hands in
building characters. This brief survey will lead us to re-discover the deep process of cognition and
experience realized dramatically by the artist and to understand why Jan Kott considered him
“the first contemporary Shakespeare”, while Jerzy Grotowski praised him as the greatest “actor of
composition”.
Changes in a Fish Community in a Small River Related to the Appearance of the Invasive Topmouth Gudgeon Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846)
In recent years, the topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva) has been one of the most invasive fishes in Europe. Pseudorasbora parva can potentially affect ecosystems, fish communities, and particular fish species. Electrofishing was carried out over a five-year period at three study sites in the Ciemięga River (eastern Poland) before and after P. parva had been found in the river. Changes in the occurrence, abundance, and density of native fish species after the appearance of the invader were determined. Changes in the species’ richness were calculated, and correlations were estimated between the occurrence and density of P. parva and particular fish species and richness indices. The presence of P. parva has not affected the density of native species but coincides with a significant increase in estimated species richness and the total density of fish. There was a significant relationship between the presence of this invasive species and the fish community’s composition, though the PERMANOVA result was unclear with regards to site-specific effects. Moreover, tench and bleak were associated positively, whereas Eurasian perch and sunbleak were associated negatively with the occurrence of P. parva. Pseudorasbora parva density was highly correlated with Cyprinidae density (excluding P. parva), species richness, and the Margalef diversity index. Thise study has shown that the presence of predatory fish in the river (Salmo trutta L.) may reduce the numbers of invasive P. parva
