All these are beautiful and well-known pages in the history of Polish science. What is happening in Polish science today? Polish scientists continue to co-create the common structure of world science. They solve scientific problems individually and in re- search teams, often international ones, in modern laboratories, using extensive research infrastructures and in their own offices, at uni- versities and in scientific and research institutes dedicated to various fields and specializations of science, scattered all over Poland. 5 Foreword Collage of Science and Research Professor Tomasz Szapiro The book, which I am handing over to you, is an invitation to explore THE PUBLICATION you are holding in your hands was prepared with the fascinating, multifaceted world of Polish science and researchers, the support of the Scientific Committee I have the honour to chair. It observed at work, when they are genuinely passionate about their is composed of scholars with remarkable achievements in numerous scientific goals. I would like to thank the Conference of Rectors of scientific domains and extensive experience in carrying out and eval- Academic Schools in Poland for inspiration and cooperation during uating research projects. They had accepted the invitation to join the the process of preparing this publication. I wish you a great read! Committee, convinced that Polish research needs support in the form of professional promotion. Professional promotion of research – the mission of the Polish Agency for Academic Exchange NAWA – is the first stage of a most essential process, which will accelerate the pace of research, facilitate access to research funding and help Poland appear as an attractive partner to scholars all over the world. The starting point in the work on the present book was the mate- — Łukasz Wojdyga rial that had been gathered by the Conference of Rectors of Academic Director General at the Polish National Agency Schools in Poland and subjected to expert assessment. Thus, the for Academic Exchange NAWA Committee’s role consisted in specifying the criteria that the materials provided to NAWA had to meet in order to be included in the publi- cation and in pointing out any elements, which needed to be comple- mented or expanded. The limited size of the book, however, meant that it was necessary to select the content from a very broad range of studies carried out by Polish research centres. Accepting the fact that this would result in a less representative content of the book, the Committee recommended that the priority be diversity with regard to both the projects and their scale on the one hand and the prestige of the institutions they represented on the other hand. This selection is meant to showcase studies, which contribute to the global knowledge and science. As a result, we have created a collage of snapshots showing person- alities, discoveries and state-of-the-art of scientific infrastructure. It resembles an album from a journey across all of Poland with com- mentary in the form of data, interviews, figures and essays. Science in Poland in 34 Snapshots is not an attempt at ranking the best projects, scholars or institutes. The readers could easily add to it numerous other ‘snapshots’ with equally attractive content and high scholarly value. 6 7 Composition of the Scientific Committee Professor Ewa Bartnik Professor University of Warsaw, academic Mieczysław Muraszkiewicz field: natural sciences, biology Warsaw University of Technology, academic field: engineering and technology, computer science Professor Ewa Bińczyk Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, academic field: Professor Henryk Skarżyński humanities, philosophy Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, academic field: medical sciences, Professor Antoni Cygan otolaryngology Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, academic field: arts, painting Professor Roman Słowiński Vice-President of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poznan Professor Marek Krawczyk University of Technology, Medical University of Warsaw, academic field: engineering academic field: medical sciences, and technology, computer surgery, transplantology The essence of our message is simple: the Polish scholarly centres science, AI constitute a part of global research community and possess an inter- Professor Magdalena Król esting and valuable development potential.

  • Feliks Nowowiejski (1877–1946) – Patron Roku 2016. Poznańskie Lata – Miłość Odwzajemniona?
    Pro Musica Sacra 14 (2016), s. 91–106 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/pms.1842 Elżbieta Karolak Akademia Muzyczna im. Ignacego Paderewskiego w Poznaniu Feliks Nowowiejski (1877–1946) – patron roku 2016…. Poznańskie lata – miłość odwzajemniona? Środowisko muzyczne z satysfakcją przyjęło ogłoszenie przez Sejm RP roku 2016 Rokiem Feliksa Nowowiejskiego1. Znaczenie kompozytora w polskim krajobrazie kulturowym I połowy XX wieku jest nie do przecenienia nie tylko ze względu na jego bogatą i różnorodną twórczość, ale także jej wymiar społecz- ny i kontekst patriotyczny przyczyniający się do umacniania polskiej tożsamości narodowej. Przez całe życie Nowowiejski angażował się niezwykle żywo w otaczającą go rzeczywistość i ta aktywność znalazła odzwierciedlenie w jego twórczości, w któ- rej widać dwa wyraźnie zarysowane nurty: profesjonalny i amatorski. Środowisko z trudem wybaczało mu ten drugi, jednak czas pokazał, jak ważną rolę odegrał on w podtrzymaniu ducha narodu i jego tożsamości. W niniejszym opracowaniu zamierzam skupić na poznańskich latach Feliksa Nowowiejskiego (1919–1946). Aby je jednak je docenić i podsumować, zarówno w wymiarze artystycznym, jak i społecznym, warto nakreślić tło wcześniejszych wydarzeń, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem okresu kształtowania się podstaw oso- bowości twórcy i lat jego edukacji. Wydaje się, że Feliks – urodzony 7 lutego 1977 roku w Barczewie jako piąte z jedenaściorga dzieci Katarzyny i Franciszka – otrzymał w dzieciństwie wszystko, co mogło rozwinąć jego naturalne zdolności: zarówno uznanie w domu zapew- niające poczucie wartości i motywujące do rozwoju, jak i umiejętnie pokierowaną 1 „Sejm ustanawia Feliksa Nowowiejskiego patronem 2016 roku w przekonaniu o szczegól- nym znaczeniu dorobku tego wybitnego kompozytora, dyrygenta, pedagoga, organisty wir- tuoza, organizatora życia muzycznego i Szambelana Papieskiego.

  • Jan Obłąk Feliks Nowowiejski Jako Organista W Olsztynie
    Jan Obłąk Feliks Nowowiejski jako organista w Olsztynie Komunikaty Mazursko-Warmińskie nr 2, 182-189 1961 O ile okolice północno-wschodnie miasta zabudowane są nieregu­ larnie, o tyle uderza planowe zabudowanie części północno-zachod­ niej, tworzące prostokąt, zawarty między ulicami Wojska Polskiego i Bohaterów, Zwycięzców i gen. Zajączka, Warmińską i Chrobrego. Tutaj też znajduje się ul. Kolejowa, łącząca śródmieście z dworcem kolejowym. Z nowych budowli lub odrestaurowanych dawniejszych wymienić należy przede wszystkim gimnazjum z lat 1869 — 1870, poszerzenie zakładu dla głuchoniemych i powszechną szkołę katolicką budowaną w r. 1906, następnie wyremontowaną w r. 1922 na wikarię, budowę straży pożarnej z wieżą obserwacyjną w r. 1913, a szkoły ewangelic­ kiej w r. 1915. W latach 1926— 1931 miała miejsce renowacja koś­ cioła parafialnego ee). Reasumując trzeba powiedzieć, że z zabudowy średniowiecznego Reszla nie zostało prawie nic. Pożary z lat 1806 i 1807 zniszczyły pra­ wie całe miasto oraz częściowo zamek. Dużą część domów odbudo­ wanych w latach 1810 — 1820 pochłonęły pożary z lat 1841 i 1917. Z nielicznymi jedynie wyjątkami obecna zabudowa Reszla pochodzi z drugiej połowy XIX w. i pierwszej połowy XX. Do ocalałych zabyt­ ków średniowiecznych zaliczyć należy częściowo zamek, kościół para­ fialny św. Piotra i Pawła, plebanie, spichrze z XVIII w., fragmenty murów obronnych oraz jedyny chyba w swoim rodzaju zacho­ wany gotycki most dwupiętrowy na Sajnie. Z dalszych pożarów w XIX i XX w. wyszedł obronną ręką odbudowany po r. 1810 ratusz, zabudowa rynku (poza stroną południową) oraz fragmenty zabudowy bocznych ulic na terenie właściwego miasta. Ks. JA N OBŁĄK FELIKS NOWOWIEJSKI JAKO ORGANISTA W OLSZTYNIE W roku bieżącym przypada piętnasta rocznica śmierci Feliksa Nowowiejskiego (1877 — 1946).

I had to perform some pushing around and arm-twisting to get articles for this number. I wish to remind everyone that suggestions and ideas for contributions are especially welcome. The newsletter is growing rather weak on the theoretical side. Keep those suggestions coming! I put together this newsletter mostly on a palmtop computer while travelling, with some contributions arriving the very day of publication (on which, to complicate matters, I was giving a talk at a conference, my email reader crashed and our network went down). One of the contributions is a bit longer than the usual format. Again it is my fault for failing to warn the author in due time.

  • Ilona Dulisz Wschodnie Kontakty Feliksa I Rudolfa Nowowiejskich : (Lwów, Wilno, Białowieża)
    Ilona Dulisz Wschodnie kontakty Feliksa i Rudolfa Nowowiejskich : (Lwów, Wilno, Białowieża) Acta Polono-Ruthenica 19, 37-46 2014 UWM w Olsztynie Acta Polono- Ruthenica XIX, 2014 ISSN 1427-549X Ilona Dulisz Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski W Olsztynie Wschodnie kontakty Feliksa i Rudolfa Nowowiejskich (Lwów - Wilno - Białowieża) Biografie Feliksa i Rudolfa Nowowiejskich, urodzonych w ostatnim ćwierć­ wieczu XIX wieku na Warmii w Barczewie, związane są m.in. z przedwojennym Lwowem i Wilnem. Działalność braci w wymienionych ośrodkach trwale wpisa­ ła się w historyczno-kulturowy obraz tych miast. Warto wspomnieć także o rekreacyjnych pobytach Feliksa w Białowieży pod koniec lat 30. XX wieku, które stały się inspiracją do stworzenia kilku ważnych dzieł muzycznych. Feliks Nowowiejski (1877-1946)1 należy do grona wybitnych polskich kompozytorów, zwłaszcza na gruncie muzyki chóralnej i organowej. Zasłynął jako wirtuoz gry na organach, dyrygent, pedagog, animator życia muzycznego. Przyczynił się również do rozwoju amatorskiego ruchu śpiewaczego w całym kraju. To także działacz społeczny i patriota, twórca słynnej Roty do słów Marii Konopnickiej, propagator polskości podczas akcji plebiscytowej na rzecz przyłą­ czenia Warmii, Mazur i Powiśla do Polski w 1920 r. Niewiele młodszy Rudolf Nowowiejski (1879-1963)2, spośród licznego rodzeństwa najbliższy Feliksowi, był teologiem, do 1925 r. księdzem katolickim, misjonarzem, podróżnikiem i działaczem społeczno-narodowym, filologiem kla­ sycznym, pedagogiem, poetą, autorem tłumaczeń na język niemiecki i łaciński wielu wybitnych dzieł poezji polskiej, m.in. J. Kochanowskiego, A. Mickie­ wicza, J. Słowackiego, A. Asnyka, J. Kasprowicza. Podobnie jak Feliks był utalentowany i kształcony muzycznie, grał na kilku instrumentach i komponował pieśni. 1 Zob. J.

New perspectives for Social Psychological Bulletin (Psychologia Społeczna). Social Psychological Bulletin, 13(1), Article e25506. https://doi.org/10.5964/spb.v13i1.25506 Change is one thing, progress is another. “Change” is scientific, “progress” is ethical; change is indubitable, whereas progress is a matter of controversy – Bertrand Russell (1947) Right from the start in 2006, Prof. Maria Lewicka, who acted as the founding Editor-in- Chief of Psychologia Społeczna, had a plan to build an outlet which ultimately would be read internationally. She founded a journal that aimed to publish work from international authors covering a broad range of topics on social psychology using various perspectives and methodologies. The plan was that even though it started off as a Polish-language jour- nal, soon enough there would be lots of submissions in English to choose from (as Polish researchers regularly publish in English-language journals), and the proportions between the two languages could be smoothly adjusted later on. Surely enough, throughout the years it has become one of the best psychology journals in Poland, but the plan for its international impact has been put on hold. Simply not that many people have submitted their English manuscripts to Psychologia Społeczna – most preferred to submit their work in Polish.

    ASTROPHYSICAL APPLICATIONS OF GRAVITATIONAL MICROLENSING IN THE MILKY WAY Przemysław Mróz Ph.D. thesis written under the supervision of prof. dr hab. Andrzej Udalski Warsaw University Observatory Warsaw, April 2019 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Andrzej Udalski, for the encouragement and advice he has provided throughout my time as his student. I have been extraordinarily lucky to have the supervisor who gave me immeasurable amount of his time, as a researcher and a mentor. This dissertation would not be possible without the sheer amount of work from all members of the OGLE team and their time spent at Cerro Las Campanas. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Michał Szymanski,´ Prof. Igor Soszynski,´ Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Paweł Pietrukowicz, Szymon Kozłowski, Radek Poleski, and Jan Skowron, who have helped me since my very first steps at the Warsaw University Observatory. I thank all my collegues from the Warsaw Observatory for many helpful discussions and support. I am also grateful to Andrew Gould, Takahiro Sumi, and Yossi Shvartzvald, who shared the photometric data that are a part of this thesis. I thank Calen Henderson and all Pasadena-based microlensers for their hospitality during my stay at Caltech. I also thank my family for their support in my effort to pursue my chosen field of astronomy. I acknowledge financial support from the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (“Diamond Grant” number DI2013/014743), the Foundation for Polish Science (Program START), and the National Science Center, Poland (grant ETIUDA 2018/28/T/ST9/00096).
