Oral History Interview, Erika Janik (1299)
No full textIn this interview, Erika Janik discusses her pathway leading her to a career in writing. After she graduated with a Masters in journalism, she became a writer writing several books about Wisconsin, and more. To learn more about this oral history, download & review the index first (or transcript if available). It will help determine which audio file(s) to download & listen to.In her 2012 interview with Laura Lane, Erika Janik narrates her journey to a career in writing. She remembers her early education and undergraduate studies in Oregon, which led her to study history, then journalism at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Beyond graduate school, her time in Madison included working for the Wisconsin Historical Society, an internship with the Wisconsin State Journal, and freelance writing. Since graduating with a Masters in journalism, wide-ranging passions as well as various aspects of her education and work have inspired and enabled her to write A Short History of Wisconsin, Odd Wisconsin, Madison: A Model City, and Apple: A Global History. Janik ends with a discussion of upcoming projects in addition to her thoughts about Madison
50 Years After Wittgenstein’s Vienna. On Wittgenstein, Toulmin and Philosophy. Tomasz Zarębski in Conversation With Allan Janik
Full text linkIn this interview, Tomasz Zarębski speaks with Allan Janik, co-author of Wittgenstein’s Vienna (1973, with Stephen Toulmin), on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the publication of this pathbreaking book. The conversation concerns the circumstances, motivations and reasons for his undertaking the work on the book, as well as its reception and place in Wittgenstein scholarship. A large part of the discussion refers to his perspective of Wittgenstein, Toulmin’s philosophical writings, and Janik’s own vision of philosophy. The interview took place in Innsbruck on 23rd and 25th August 2023
Geographic and species variation in bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops spp.) signature whistle types
No full textGeographic variation in the whistle vocalisations of dolphins has previously been reported. However, most
studies have focused on the whole whistle repertoire, with little attempt to classify sounds into biologically
relevant categories. Common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) use individually distinctive signature
whistles which are thought to help maintain contact between conspecifics at sea. These whistles may show a
different kind of variation between populations than non-signature whistles. Here I investigate signature
whistle use and variation in the two recognised species of bottlenose dolphins (T. truncatus and T. aduncus)
from populations inhabiting the coastal waters of the North America, Scotland, South Africa, Tanzania,
Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and one captive colony. I identified likely signature whistles (signature
whistles types, SWTs) from acoustic recordings by combining two novel techniques: automated contour
categorisation in ARTwarp (Deecke and Janik, 2006) and a specific bout analysis based on the timing of
signature whistle production in T. truncatus termed SIGID (Janik et al. in press). Three ways of categorising
the contours were tested and between 87 and 111 SWTs were identified in total. Repeated emissions of
stereotyped contours were apparent in the repertoire of all T. aduncus populations using both automated and
human observer categorisation, providing good evidence for signature whistle use in this species. There was
significant inter-specific variation in the frequency parameters, looping patterns and duration of SWTs.
Inflection points, duration and measures of SWT complexity showed high variation within populations,
suggesting inter- and intra-individual modification of these parameters, perhaps to enhance identity encoding
or convey motivational information. Using 328 bases of the mtDNA control region, I found high levels of
population differentiation (FST and φST) within the genus Tursiops. These data do not support a link between
mtDNA population differentiation and variability in call type. Instead, morphological variations at the
species level, and learned differences at the population level, better explain the variation found
THE ROLE OF SMALL ENTERPRISES IN POLAND’S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Full text linkThe economic transformations taking place in Poland in recent years have been accompanied by changes in companies’ structure. The role of small companies, employing up to 50 persons, has been constantly growing. These companies, particularly in the first half of the 1990s, helped to reduce unemployment. Many employees who had previously been working in state-owned companies set up their own businesses, thus creating new jobs. The dynamic development of these companies at that time was extensive and was to a large extent stimulated by the privatization processes state-owned companies were undergoing and the greater economic freedom. Since the mid-1990s the rate of development of this group of enterprises has been much slower due to the bureaucratization of setting up new companies and lower availability of bank loans. The growing competition from foreign companies also played a role, and all these factors had a negative influence on the competitiveness of small enterprises. Besides the findings for Poland as a whole, some research results about the state of small companies in Lublin region are also included.small enterprises, barriers, financing sources, EU stimuli

Facts physics on the Background of philosophy
No full textThis article is drafted on the basis of three complementary essays by Professor Jerzy Janik. The author takes a look at selected issues in the field of quantum mechanics – especially the problem of quantum superposition and supersymmetry – from perspective of great philosophical systems. The author draws attention to the fact that some of these issues reflect old philosophical problems (e.g., empiricism vs rationalism), and – in some cases – philosophical perspective may save interpretations of quantum mechanics from paradoxes
