ODPOWIEDZI NA ANKIETĘ - KRZYSZTOF BRACHA

Author(s): Lidia Michalska Bracha / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

Ad 1. Postawione pytanie wymusza na autorach nie tylko refleksję ogólną, lecz przede wszystkim nieco partykularne, ale zrozumiałe widzenie najbliższej sobie dziedziny czy specjalności, co implikuje obserwacje ze wspomnianym pochyleniem w stronę własnej przestrzeni badawczej. Taki wstęp nie jest usprawiedliwieniem mojego sposobu widzenia osiągnięć historiografii ostatnich 30 lat, lecz prostą konstatacją kompetencji.

ODPOWIEDZI NA ANKIETĘ - WALDEMAR BUKOWSKI

Author(s): Waldemar Bukowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

Zaproszony do uczestnictwa w ankiecie, chciałbym odnieść się do niektórych tylko obszarów badań z okresu późnego, długiego średniowiecza, którym się zajmuję. Ale jako przedstawiciel pokolenia, które zaczynało działalność naukową w latach osiemdziesiątych i aktywny uczestnik ówczesnych wydarzeń, nie mogę nie wrócić pamięcią do przełomowego roku 1989 i niektórych jego następstw. Upadła cenzura. Odzyskaliśmy historię najnowszą. Symbolem tego było ujawnienie i przekazanie przez Rosjan w latach 1990 i 1992 dokumentów potwierdzających odpowiedzialność ZSRR za mord katyński. Wprowadzono system indywidualnego finansowania badań, co umożliwiało realizacje ambitnych projektów.

ODPOWIEDZI NA ANKIETĘ - RICHARD BUTTERWICK

Author(s): Richard Butterwick-Pawlikowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

Zaproszenie Redakcji „Kwartalnika Historycznego”, aby przystąpić do dyskusji o polskiej historiografii ostatniego trzydziestolecia jest słusznie opatrzone zastrzeżeniem, że odpowiedniejszym określeniem może być: „historiografie — Polski, najróżniej rozumianej, dotyczące”. Jednak zanim poświęcę gros uwag tendencjom i osiągnięciom historiografii dawnej Rzeczypospolitej (ze szczególną atencją dla wieku XVIII), warto się zastanowić, jakie kryteria musiałyby zostać spełnione, aby prace historyczne mogły zostać zakwalifikowane do „historiografii polskiej”.

Developing Digital Skills: The Power of the Online Medium in Foreign Language Teaching

Author(s): Laura Ioana Leon / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2020

The foreign language class had to be re-invented during the last decade. This was mainly the result of the rapid development of technology. Foreign language teachers may have come to realize that the world was changing at full speed and, because of that, they had to keep themselves updated in order to face the challenges of the new world. The aim of this paper is to show how technology and the online medium have come to be used in the ESP classes (English for Specific Purposes – Medical English taught to medical students at the “Grigore T. Popa” University of Medicine, Iasi, Romania). The paper also discusses the role of the English language in the context of being the lingua franca of the Internet. In the latest years, the ESP classes have changed out of this necessity to understand the more complex role of the English teacher. Old methodologies were no longer sufficient to transfer an updated amount of information to our students. Therefore the paper also discusses how ESP teachers have started to use English as a medium of instruction in order to touch upon some various and relevant topics related to the medical field. In the new economy of things, by means of the English language, students may get useful knowledge related to their future profession, the ESP class becoming thus an opportunity to practice interdisciplinarity. Besides teaching ESP, we should also focus on how English may be used in order to make our students more aware of the challenges of their future profession and the impact and of the ways in which technology might have a great impact upon their medical activity.

Distance Work with the Preparation of Future Managers of Physical Culture in the Conditions of a Post-Pandemic Society

Author(s): Svitlana Kryshtanovych,Valentyna Horoshko,Olha Pasko,Liudmyla Prudka,Ihor Grynyk / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

Due to the spread of the Covid-19 virus, all countries began to introduce quarantine measures, which led to the closure of all higher education institution indefinitely. They were forced to switch to a distance learning process in a short time. The readiness for this process was different, purely technical problems arose - the lack of the Internet, computers, educational materials on the network. And most importantly, the teachers are not ready for distance learning. The IT industry was the first to respond to the needs of teachers and students in physical culture and sports: the power of channels was increased, a large number of services and tools for teaching appeared. For video conferencing, the ZOOM tool turned out to be very popular, a large number of blogs with training recommendations were published on social networks, distance courses were held on the development of training resources and the organization of training. After the weakening of quarantine in the world, it became clear that humanity has entered a new stage of development, where distance learning will play a big role. Therefore, it is important to analyze the results of the distance learning process and determine the priority ways of developing online education in training future managers of physical culture and sports. The article is devoted to the problems of using distance work in the training of future managers of physical culture and sports.

Пулсометрични критерии за класификация на тренировъчните натоварвания

Author(s): Maya Chipeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2021

Measuring heart rate gives us the opportunity to make the best analysis of the behaviour of the cardiac system during physical activity and aids us to decide for the ideal training programs a performer must undergo. The aim for the investigation was to draw observant conclusions which would aid us in choosing the activities in said program, as the results portrayed the body’s response to the different intensities of the physical tests. The pulsometric criteria for the classification of the training overloads among amateur runners and football players were used.

THE ROLE AND IDENTITY OF LATVIAN EXILE ART IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: EXAMPLE OF THE STUDENT FRATERNITY “DZINTARZEME” OF THE ART ACADEMY OF LATVIA

Author(s): Agnija Lesničenoka / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The year 1944/45 is inscribed on the pages of Latvia’s history as the time of the second occupation by the USSR, as a result hundreds of thousands of Latvian citizens left Latvia as refugees. Since the 1945 the development of contemporary Latvian art was tragically divided between the occupied native land and the free world. The period in exile from 1945 to 1952 can be called the “restoration period”, or the period of preservation of Latvian national values and art, when the continuation of the form of artistic expression during the period of Latvia’s independence took place in refugee camps in Germany. The issue of national art became more problematic after 1952, when the exile lasted and Latvian artists were scattered on several continents of the world, the question of the fate of the expression of Latvian national art became more topical. In November 1958, with an art exhibition in New York (USA), the Art Academy of Latvia student fraternity “Dzintarzeme” (“Amberland”), which was banned in July 1940 by the USSR, was renewed. There is reason to assume that “Dzintarzeme” can be called as one of the most purposeful associations of Latvian artists in exile in the efforts to preserve and popularize Latvian national art in the USA until 1973. The main purpose of this research is through the example of student fraternity “Dzintarzeme” to clarifiy the concept – what is Latvian national art in exile, what we can define as Latvianness in Latvian exile art, and also look at art development and its role in the society of exile Latvians in the United States of America where the most active community of “Dzintarzeme” was located.

ODPOWIEDZI NA ANKIETĘ - PIOTR FRANASZEK

Author(s): Piotr Franaszek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

Jako osoba wychowana w rodzinie o tradycjach patriotycznych zawsze przywiązywałem dużą wagę do historii Polski. Moja edukacja w szkole średniej i na studiach przypadła na lata siedemdziesiąte XX w. Nauka historii w liceum kończyła się na II wojnie światowej. Na studiach na zajęciach z historii najnowszej zwykle „dochodziło się” do wydarzeń 1956 r. O mordzie w Katyniu wykładowcy mówili bardzo ogólnie i zasadniczo tylko w kontekście zerwania stosunków dyplomatycznych z rządem emigracyjnym i „ucieczce” armii gen. Władysława Andersa ze Związku Sowieckiego.

Study of Compositions for Selective Water Isolation in Gas Wells

Author(s): Sudad Al-Obaidi,Miel Hofmann,V. Smirnov,F. Khalaf,H. Alwan / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2021

A hydrophobic composition containing water repellents and highly volatile solvents is shown in this tudy to isolate water from the bottom hole formation zone of gas wells and reduce as much as possible the saturation of pore spaces with water. During injection, this composition shows selectivity and mostly penetrates water-saturated porous media. The study shows that the injection of such composition into porous media has a high water-insulating effect, reducing the water permeability of water-saturated porous media by 35 times with a degree of water isolation of 97%. Moreover, while injecting, it has selective action, mainly penetrating water-saturated media rather than gas-saturated media. As a result of injecting 0.91 to 0.99 pore volumes (pv) of the composition, the Qwater/Qgas ratio reaches 5.22 to 5.26, indicating high selectivity.

On the Sound, Produced by a Coin, Rolling in a Balloon

Author(s): Denitsa Vasileva / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2021

Balloons may be a thing children love playing with, but they also have different interesting physical properties such as the sound that is produced when something is put inside a balloon. The phenomenon of interest of this article is the one of gently rolling a coin in a balloon and exploration of the sound produced by this movement. It turns out that when a coin with edges is put in a balloon and is being rolled a buzzing sound is produced which varies in frequencies depending on the count of edges of the coin. This can be observed in non-laboratory conditions. Not many experiments have been conducted to explore this phenomenon.

A Possible Contribution of Live Electronics to Modern Education / O posibilă contribuție a aplicațiilor electronice live la educația modernă

Author(s): Mihai Popean / Language(s): English,Romanian Issue: 1/2021

Musical improvisation is as much a form of art as it is a form of education with great potential for transfer. Although associated usually with jazz music, improvisation has a long and unbroken history that can be traced throughout the entire music history. The classically-trained students do not receive education in improvisation, it is not part of the classical music curriculum, the educators themselves do not have such training and are not comfortable improvising and therefore teaching it. However, students can greatly benefit from this type of training by greatly enhancing their technique and performing skills and also by developing a set of other important skills such as creativity, calculated risk-taking, flexibility of mind, capacity to notice opportunities, greater awareness of their environment, intra- and interpersonal skills, enhanced communication abilities and more. One solution that would address teachers’ lack of improvisational skills and students’ need for such educational opportunity is for educators to learn basic visual programming in order to create applications for improvisation that involve live electronics and deploy them in classroom or other educational situations.

Collaborative DIY music production practices in conservatoire settings: findings from a pilot distance teaching-learning project /Metode de producție muzicală colaborativă DIY în cadrul școlilor de muzică: rezultate ale unui proiect pilot de predare-

Author(s): Yannis Mygdanis,May Kokkidou / Language(s): English,Romanian Issue: 2/2021

In the last decades, the vast development of emerging technologies has transformed the ways people engage with music, expanding the affordances of music expression, creation, learning, and education. Music production software allows artists to create songs collaboratively in digital contexts, not necessarily being in physical contact. Likewise, many young people produce songs alone or with peers, constructing musical experiences through informal kinds of learning. Although several studies have focused on integrating technological-based activities in school music education, the research interest in conservatoire education is limited. The COVID-19 pandemic crisis and the need for an urgent shift to online educational environments revealed numerous problems concerning the use of technology. Both teachers and students faced difficulties to operate and effectively continue the studio lessons online. Some recognized the situation as a dead-end for conservatoire education, while others perceived it as a prompt for innovative and creative solutions. The present article discusses the findings of a pilot distance musictechnological project with adolescents in conservatoire education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary aim was to investigate students’ musical-technological experiences, the knowledge and skills they acquired, as well as the development of their musical creativity through collaborative DIY music production practices. In particular, our purpose was to develop a more nuanced understanding of how the students experienced their work and their learning using DAWs (Bandlab). The results support the view that merging traditional and online teaching-learning procedures in a hybrid approach can open new pathways in music education

Peculiarities of Online Lessons in Music and Movement Classes (I) / Particularități ale lecțiilor on-line la disciplina Muzică și mișcare (I)

Author(s): Lucian Ghişa,Dalia Ioana Ghisa / Language(s): English,Romanian Issue: 2/2021

The present research aims to contribute to the optimization of online teaching regarding the Music and Movement subject. The Music and Movement class activities are aimed to facilitate the acquisition of important general skills, such as: learning children’s songs and simple elements of musical language, performing children’s songs, with age-specific means and in order to express ideas, feelings and experiences through music and movement, individually or in groups. We highlighted in this research the provisions of the curriculum, insisting on the competences that need to be acquired. In this regard, the curriculum expresses a series of contents with specific activities, which can be approached in the classroom according to each level of learning. The skills that students have to acquire in the Music and Movement class formed the basis of the concerns which emerged due to the pandemic situation (isolation at home), because at first the resources available were not known, as neither were the methods and means by which to achieve them, taking into account the fact that the transition from traditional classes to those in the online environment was sudden.

Legal education at the crossroads of social responsibility and the development of individual competencies – experience at the University of Szeged (Hungary)

Author(s): Judit Tóth,Renáta Kálmán / Language(s): English Issue: 34 (2)/2021

The authors describe the role of the legal clinical education as an instrument for community empowerment through pro bono legal counseling, easily understandable e-compilation (Vademecum) of legal terms, and extended legal practice for law students, together with the development of their professional competencies. The new requirements in legal education, as determined by the government in 2016, focus on labour market needs, but academics and leaders of the University of Szeged have created an amalgam of tools for access to justice for local residents and NGOs in a less wealthy social environment, thereby introducing changes in education. The article proves how difficult it is to change historically-determined traditions in legal education in an innovative way, developing social solidarity, legal responsibility, ethics, and communication skills of the future generation of jurists in Hungary. In the course of the research, the authors analyze their own experiences since the establishment of the Legal Clinic at the University of Szeged under predefined requirement, e.g. number and type of cases or form of help. As a result, key fields are revealed where the work of the Legal Clinic is essential, and such a conclusion provided great help to further develop the partnership system and the entire clinical legal education at the University of Szeged.

Exploring teacher-initiated humour in Academic English classes:

Author(s): Aziz Kholmatov / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

As a subject focused on teaching grammar forms needed for academic studies and genres of academic writing, Academic English may seem tedious at times. Sometimes it is a complex subject for students who are fresh to academia and it needs a peculiar didactic approach to provide a smooth transition of students from general to academic English writing at a university level. One of these approaches may be using humour during classes. The current research explores teacher-initiated humour in Academic English classes at Westminster International University in Tashkent and its effects on students. Besides, it seeks answers to questions as to what types of humour teachers employ during the class mostly, how often they use humour, as well as students’ and teachers’ recommendations given on how to use humour in class. This study uses both qualitative and quantitative data extraction methods in the form of an online questionnaire with students and a semi-structured interview with teachers. Obtained results show that affective and social roles of humour, its quality of lessening anxiety, creates favourable conditions for students and teacher’s connectedness, which outweighs other humour’s roles. Besides, mnemonic and engaging roles of humour received a solid support in the respondents. To obtain a more positive effect, it is recommended that teachers, when incorporating humour in class, apply a systematic approach. Humour should be planned beforehand and needs to be appropriate. Moreover, it should be used with moderation.
