PIERWSZA OSOBA LICZBY POJEDYNCZEJ

Author(s): Patrycja Mikulska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2022

Man is born alone and dies alone. It lies in the nature of things and is a law of nature”1 – says one of the characters in the novel Jealousy and Medicine in an internal monologue. He thinks with resignation about the mistake we make in not accepting this state of affairs, in running away from it - for example, in seeking love; However, it turns out to be only a "palliative"2. A similar statement could be quoted by referring to a source of greater importance or without any footnotes. The thought of the irremovable loneliness of man accompanies many human experiences, especially those borderline, but sometimes it appears when making even an easy decision. In such contexts, we understand the meaning of this thought, we know what it refers to or what experience it summarizes in a certain way.

Generatywna sztuczna inteligencja – zagrożenie czy szansa dla uczelni?

Author(s): Lars STRANNEGÅRD / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

Shudders have been sweeping globally through the education system recently, touching the very core of academic activity. At international conferences, principals and academic staff are asking themselves, and each other, similar questions about examinations and the content of courses. There has always been an awareness that pupils and students can cheat on their assignments. Plagiarism and the use of writers from other countries are examples of the deceitfulness that has been feared. Teachers have tried to curb cheating by appealing to morality, describing how to make references correctly and clarifying where the line falls between using other people’s texts and plagiarism. Tools such as “Ouriginal” are currently used to match and detect text theft.

LEKSIKOGRAFIA SHQIPE, FJALORI I GJUHËS SHQIPE DHE PASURIA LEKSIKORE E TË FOLMEVE SHQIPE

Author(s): Hajri Shehu / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 52/2022

Siç dihet, në themel të leksikut të gjuhës së sotme letrare shqipe – edhe për arsye historiko-gjuhësore të zhvillimit të saj – janë bashkëmarrëdhëniet gjuhë letrare (standard) – ligjërim popullor (të folme). Në studimin e tij të gjatë, “Baza popullore e gjuhës letrare shqipe dhe i ashtuquajturi purizëm”, profesor Androkli Kostallari thotë: “Duke ruajtur nëpër shekuj strukturën fonetike e gramatikore, fondin themelor leksikor, strukturën e mjetet fjalëformuese me vlerat reale e potenciale të tyre dhe me prirjet themelore të evoluimit të tyre, baza popullore ka luajtur e luan një rol vendimtar e shumë aktiv edhe për përhapjen e zhvillimin e pasurimin e gjuhës letrare njëformëshe e të përbashkët, e cila, jo vetëm është kristalizuar si e tillë duke u mbështetur në tërë sistemin e vet te kjo bazë shumë e gjerë dhe e thellë, por edhe është ushqyer e ushqehet pandërprerë prej saj”

Ljubav prema zavičaju nadilazi sve prolaznosti

Author(s): Zvonimir Stjepanović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 129-130/2023

Slavonac je oduvijek volio svoga konja, smatrao ga prijateljem, bilo da ga je koristio za obradu njiva, kirijanje ili kada ga je jahao kao graničar na Savi. Konj mu je uzvraćao ljubav, bio mu vjeran i u polju i u boju! Konj za Šokca ima mitsko značenje. Etnograf i svećenik Josip Lovretić kazuje da ljudi vole životinje, a osobito konja i psa. Najači kult kod Šokaca je kult konja („Od sve marve Šokac voli samo konja“, zapisat će Juraj Lončarević). Koliko je to jak kult vidi se, recimo, i po tome što jahači i konjske zaprege predstavljaju udarne i najatraktivnije točke na svim tradicijskim manifestacijama. U pjesmi Miroslava Slavka Mađera „Pjevat će Slavonija“, neslužbenoj slavonskoj himni, spominju se konji: „Pjevaj, majko, ratara i bekrija, pjesmu onu što nam život vara. Konje vrane kad osedla Šokadija, vrisne pjesma od plamena i žara“.

Kako je nestala bazilika u Sutini

Author(s): Anđelko Zelenika / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 131-132/2023

Šire područje doline rijeke Neretve u okolici Mostara bilo je naseljeno u kontinuitetu – od najstarijih vremena do danas. Uz ostalo, nedaleko od vrela Bune pronađeno je naselje pećinskog neolitskog čovjeka i nekoliko desetaka arheološki značajnih lokaliteta iz metalnog doba, prapovijesti, rimskog doba i srednjega vijeka. Od osnivanja Zemaljskog muzeja u Sarajevu za vrijeme austrijske uprave kod nas, koncem 18. stoljeća do početka Prvoga svjetskog rata, mnogo je učinjeno u BiH na organiziranom, stručnom, povijesnom i arheološkom istraživanju starije prošlosti ovoga područja.

Salamonova (Salamunova) zvijezda na kamenom križu u groblju sv. Luke u Blaževićima

Author(s): Damir Zorić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 131-132/2023

U selu Blaževići , na groblju sv. Luke, između više zanimljivih nadgrobnih spomenika, pozornost privlači i jedan kameni križ, visine jednoga metra, skladnih (rimskih) proporcija. O križu, danas postavljenom na sekundarnom položaju, koliko je poznato, u literaturi nema nekih posebnih podataka i objašnjenja. Budući da mu je sadašnji smještaj na zidu novije građene mrtvačnice, očito da je križ prethodno stajao negdje drugdje. Mještani tek potvrđuju da je nakon uređenja područne2 crkve i groblja ovaj križ donesen s kamene gomile iza groblja, gdje je nađen s ostatkom, odnosno dijelom jednoga drugog sličnog križa te postavljen na sadašnje mjesto. Taj drugi križ, slične veličine i s natpisom, nakon što je uz pomoć stručnjaka Tihomira Glavaša i fra Ante Marića3 obnovljen i postavljen u prezbiterij crkve4 sv. Luke, danas se, učvršćen na kamenom postolju, nalazi u posebnoj kapelici na groblju sv. Luke. Oba su križa slične veličine, izrađeni od vapnenačkog kamena miljevine. Ovaj drugi križ iz Blaževića moguće je posve točno vremenski smjestiti, jer je na njemu, uz natpis o posvećenju groblja urezano –1676 21 sič, dakle 21. siječnja 1676., dok na onom prvospomenutom križu, nema natpisa ili ga je barem teško uočiti i pročitati pa je i datiranje otežano5 . Na oba križa, s frontalne je strane reljefno prokazan znak križa, no reljefi su različite stilizacije pa je teško zaključiti potječu li oba križa iz iste klesarske tradicije, odnosno radionice.

BALLET IN THE AGE OF COVID

Author(s): JULIE C. VAN CAMP / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

Samuel Johnson famously said, “When a man knows he is to be hanged...it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” I have often thought back to that astute observation since spring 2020 when the comfortable world many of us enjoyed seemed to collapse. COVID concentrated our minds in horrifying ways, but it also forced us to find new ways to enjoy our favorite artforms, in my case, classical ballet.
