‘Just keep on walking in a straight line': allowing for chance in Zadie Smith's overdetermined London (White Teeth, The Autograph Man and On Beauty)
2008
International audience; Zadie Smith's three novels signal a sullen yet coherent evolution in the representation of both real and fictional London. Each of the three texts reveals a threefold failure in the way the city can become the ideal place for the characters to know and fulfil themselves. London is first a mere topographical and cultural gridlock: its neighbourhoods are overdetermined in a way that leads to the negation of the individual, leaving no space for action and banning any type of self-improvement. Yet Smith's London in White Teeth is not as coded as often claimed, and may provide some tools to pervert this conditioning of places and people. The novels indeed examine the dyna…
Les Humeurs de Zadie Smith : surplus d'humour et esthétique du reste
2010
Dans les trois romans de Zadie Smith (White Teeth, The Autograph Man et On Beauty), l'humour fait rage selon des modalités précises et toujours différentes. Au-delà du tableau tendre et féroce du Londres moderne multiculturel, le public apprécie dans ces romans une certaine immédiateté dans leur rapport au réel et au monde d'aujourd'hui, immédiateté que Smith a choisi de rendre sur la page par un humour toujours à l'œuvre dans sa présentation des personnages et dans les mots de ces derniers. Nous proposons de travailler essentiellement sur l'humour dans White Teeth et On Beauty, afin tout d'abord de souligner comment il génère pour Smith une modalité peut-être féminine de la réécriture. En …

Bene ordinata et eleganter picta. Kościół św. Jerzego w Gliwicach-Ostropie (1667-1719-2019). Monografia wydana z okazji 350. rocznicy budowy kościoła…
2019
Wieloautorska monografia, pod naukową redakcją ks. Piotra Góreckiego, powstała z okazji 350. rocznicy budowy murowano-drewnianego kościoła pw. św. Jerzego w Gliwicach-Ostropie oraz 300. rocznicy jego poświęcenia. Pod koniec prowadzonego przez ponad 10 lat kapitalnego remontu zdecydowano się, aby pozostawić trwały ślad nie tylko w strukturze zabytkowej odrestaurowanej budowli, ale także aby opublikować monografię książkową, zbierającą w jedną całość dotychczasową wiedzę o tym zabytkowym kościele: jego przeszłości i aktualnym stanie, jego historycznej konstrukcji i przechowywanej w nim lub też w Muzeum Diecezjalnym w Opolu zabytkowej substancji. Do napisania poszczególnych rozdziałów zaproszo…
Body mass index categories and anxiety symptoms among adults aged =?50 years from low and middle income countries.
2021
Background: Body weight may be a risk factor for anxiety; however, there is a scarcity of studies on this association in older adults especially from low and middle income countries (LMICs). Therefore, we investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and anxiety symptoms among adults aged ≥ 50 years from 6 LMICs. Methods: Cross-sectional, community-based, nationally representative data from the World Health Organization (WHO) Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) were analyzed. The BMI was based on measured weight and height and was categorized as: < 18.5 kg/m2 (underweight), 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 (normal weight), 25.0–29.9 kg/m2 (overweight), 30.0–34.9 kg/m2 (obesity cla…
STEM CELLS FOR TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES: AN UMBRELLA REVIEW OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS

Music making software programs for children from ages five to twelve
2010
This research classifies the qualities in the existing music creation software programs that enable them to be operated by young users. This is done through comparison of the literature on musical development of children and the examination of the existing software. For the research were selected three fundamentally different pieces of music creation software that potentially provide a wide variety of features. The selected programs are GarageBand, Songsmith and Groovy Music. Each of the three programs has its own strengths in benefiting children s musical development in different ages. What all programs share is the ease of use and a clear interface. Icons of the functions help navigating …
The Color of Avant-Garde: Kenneth Goldsmith’s "The Body of Michael Brown"
2018
In the following paper, I put forth a claim that literary works created according to the rules of conceptualism, seemingly devoid of expression, often reveal that values are inseparable from any textual operations. This is visible in Kenneth Goldsmith’s recent project, “The Body of Michael Brown,” which follows the format of Goldsmith’s previous book—Seven American Deaths and Disasters—a transcription of news reports of American national disasters, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy or the attacks of 9/11. The text rewrites the autopsy report issued by the St. Louis County Coroner’s Office on the shooting of Michael Brown, an African-American teenager shot and killed by a white po…
Pholiotina cyanopus, a rare fungus producing psychoactive tryptamines
2014
Abstract Pholiotina cyanopus was collected from wood chips and other woody remnants of undetermined tree species. Its basidiomata were found in June within the area of closed sawmill in the central part of Żywiec city (SW Poland). Description and illustration of Ph. cyanopus based on Polish specimens are provided and its ecology, general distribution and comparison with similar taxa – Pholiotina smithii, Pholiotina sulcatipes, and others are discussed as well. The identity of the active compounds of Ph. cyanopus was additionally determined. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data sets were obtained to support the occurrence of psilocybin and its analogues – psilocin, baeocystin…
Rewritten literary classic : Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
2013
Jane Austenin Ylpeys ja ennakkoluulo on inspiroinut useita variaatioita Elizabeth Bennetin ja herra Darcyn klassisesta rakkaustarinasta. Ylpeys ja ennakkoluulo ja zombit jatkaa omalla omintakeisella tavallaan pitkää Ylpeys ja ennakkoluulo -variaatioiden sarjaa. Tarinaan on lisätty vaikutteita itämaisista taistelulajeista sekä kauhutarinoista tutut hitaasti etenevät zombit, jotka ovat muuttaneet Ylpeys ja ennakkoluulo kirjan idylliset maalaismaisemat veriseksi taistelutantereeksi. Elizabeth Bennet ja herra Darcy saavatkin huomata, että heidän orastavan romanssinsa tiellä ovat paitsi heidän ylpeytensä ja ennakkoluulonsa toisiaan kohtaan myös lukematon määrä zombeja. Huolimatta siitä, että tar…
