Reviewer: Adam Dziadek www.peterlang.com For my husband Jurand and our sons: Michał, Adam and Jan Translator’s Foreword Many of the literary works discussed in this book have not been translated into English. In order not to give the impression that a published translation exists when it does not, I have adopted a slightly unusual policy. In the first instance, the Polish title of the work is given, followed by a translation in square brackets. If this is not simply an explanation of what the original title means but refers to a work which really exists in English, italics (for books) or inverted commas (for poems, short stories etc.) are used, and from then on I use the English title. If no published translation exists, in most cases I continue to use the Polish title. In the case of works entitled Pamiętnik [Memoir], as for example those by Stanisław Brzozowski or Janusz Korczak, I have used the word Memoir with a capital letter but without italics, to indicate that I am referring to a specific work published in Polish but not translated into English. I have not translated the titles of critical works documented in the footnotes, unless it seems important to the argument to do so. Unless otherwise indicated, passages from the literary and critical texts referred to in the book are quoted in my translation. However, when an appro- priate published translation is available, I have generally used it. I have tried as far as possible to supply place names, names of publishers and dates of publication for the literary works and studies referred to in the book, but in some cases this information is not obtainable – for example, texts produced by the underground “second circulation” during the communist period were often not furnished with a place of publication, for obvious reasons. Place names involve some difficulty because of the way that Poland “moved” on the map after World War II, so that many places which had been in pre- war Poland and had Polish names are now in other countries and are known by other names. This consideration applies particularly to places which today are in Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine but which before World War II belonged to Poland’s Eastern Borderlands. To refer to present-day Lviv, for example, as “Lwów”, or present-day Vilnius as “Wilno”, as I frequently do in this book, is not, of course, to suggest that Ukraine or Lithuania have no claim to these cities. It is simply to give the place name with which the memory and imagination of the writers discussed here is associated. Where present-day names are different, I indicate this in the text. Except in the case of Warsaw, I do not anglicise the spelling of any Polish cities.

  • The Bios As a Vestigium Dei1
    Teologia w Polsce 13,1 (2019), s. 59-72 DOI: 10.31743/twp.2019.13.1.04 Fr. Kamil Edward Duszek* KUL, Lublin THEOLOGICAL INSIGHT INTO THE PHENOMENON OF LIFE: THE BIOS AS A VESTIGIUM DEI1 Contemporary discussion on the phenomenon of life is a meeting point for natural sciences and religion. In their dialogue, two extreme opinions prevail, which make us understand life either as a coincidental product of evolution or as an intelligent design created by an external intervention. Both views are reductionist and represent a misunderstanding of the multi-planar character of human cognition. Mature theological insight should not follow this path. There- fore, the article is an attempt to look at the phenomenon of life in a different way. It takes up the theological interpretation of biological life, according to the medieval-originating category of vestigium Dei. However, this notion must be reconstructed in such a way that it takes into account the semantic matrix that developed around it in the twentieth century. The newly developed category of vestigium is a hermeneutical key that allows us to better understand what it means that life, already in its basic manifestations, has a transcendental refe- rence to God, as His trace. INTRODUCTION Is life just a random product of evolution? Or is it a cosmic project – the work of an Intelligent Constructor? Contemporary discussion on the phenomenon of life seems to force us to choose one of these two options. Just as the philosophy of nature used to oscillate between mechanicism and vitalism, many thinkers today * Fr. Kamil Duszek, MA (can.

  • Rodney Stone
    RODNEY STONE PREFACE Amongst the books to which I am indebted for my material in my endeavour to draw various phases of life and character in England at the beginning of the century, I would particularly mention Ashton’s “Dawn of the Nineteenth Century;” Gronow’s “Reminiscences;” Fitzgerald’s “Life and Times of George IV.;” Jesse’s “Life of Brummell;” “Boxiana;” “Pugilistica;” Harper’s “Brighton Road;” Robinson’s “Last Earl of Barrymore” and “Old Q.;” Rice’s “History of the Turf;” Tristram’s “Coaching Days;” James’s “Naval History;” Clark Russell’s “Collingwood” and “Nelson.” I am also much indebted to my friends Mr. J. C. Parkinson and Robert Barr for information upon the subject of the ring. A. CONAN DOYLE. HASLEMERE, September 1, 1896. CHAPTER I - FRIAR’S OAK On this, the first of January of the year 1851, the nineteenth century has reached its midway term, and many of us who shared its youth have already warnings which tell us that it has outworn us. We put our grizzled heads together, we older ones, and we talk of the great days that we have known; but we find that when it is with our children that we talk it is a hard matter to make them understand. We and our fathers before us lived much the same life, but they with their railway trains and their steamboats belong to a different age. It is true that we can put history-books into their hands, and they can read from them of our weary struggle of two and twenty years with that great and evil man.

  • Public Awareness and Consumer Acceptance of Smart Meters Among Polish Social Media Users
    energies Article Public Awareness and Consumer Acceptance of Smart Meters among Polish Social Media Users Yash Chawla and Anna Kowalska-Pyzalska * Department of Operations Research, Faculty of Computer Science and Management, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wyb. Wyspianskiego 27, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-71-3202524 Received: 17 May 2019; Accepted: 9 July 2019; Published: 18 July 2019 Abstract: Both people and things are becoming smarter by the day. Industrial evolution at the peak of the 4.0 phase and indications of 5.0 phase are fascinating. In these circumstances, fulfilling the demand for energy is a challenge faced by countries all over the world. Upgrading the current energy distribution systems with smart grids and smart meters are steps towards facing this challenge, especially for Poland, which is primarily relying on conventional sources of energy. For any innovation or new technology, creating public awareness and consumer acceptance enhances the chance for a fruitful deployment. To achieve this, various communication channels are adopted and social media is found to be one of the most effective tools for it. This study discusses the awareness level and consumer acceptance of social media users in Poland. The source through which they receive information regarding electricity in general and smart meters (SM) in particular and their preferences and willingness about the installation of SM under various conditions are discussed in detail. Findings show that there is low level of public awareness among the respondents which causes them to develop myths, fears and doubts about SM installation in their households.
