Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of acoustic correction in historic opera theatres with the auditorium layout in the form of a horseshoe with deep underbalcony cavities limited with a semicircular wall surface. Both geometry of the cavities and excessive sound absorption determine acoustic phenomena registered in this area of the hall. The problem has been observed in the Theatre of Opera and Ballet in Lviv, Ukraine, where acoustic tests were carried out, simulation calculations performed, and finally a diffusion panel worked out designed for the rear wall of the underbalcony space. Acoustic measurements carried out after installation of the diffusers revealed favourable changes in the sound strength factor G within the range of medium and high frequencies in the underbalcony and auditorium centre area. By replacing textile tapestry with diffusion panels, a significant reduction of sound absorption was achieved for the frequency range above 1 kHz and an increase of uniformity of acoustic parameters registered in the hall. The method presented in the paper can be applied in historic halls of the similar type as well as contemporary rooms where there is a need for correction of acoustic flaws related to sound focusing or the echo effect.

Abstract

The article discusses the question of the Armenian origin of the Lviv chronicler Jan Tomasz Józefowicz (1662‑1728). The origin of the myth as to the Armenian ancestry of the Lviv chronicler Jan Tomasz Józefowicz dates back to the mid‑19th century. This was concocted by Aleksander Batowski and especially by Sadok Barącz. The latter presented a false Armenian genealogy not only for Józefowicz but also for the Lviv historian Bartłomej Zimorowicz, the poet Szymon Szymonowicz, and other historical figures who had no connection to Armenian families whatsoever. The myth about Józefowicz’s Armenian roots was to persist particularly strongly and even survived until the beginning of the 21st century, appearing in numerous publications. However, these imaginary Armenian origins did not align with his own oral accounts, and the information about Armenian history found in his chronicles. Recent publications and the appearance of municipal legal registers along with the testaments of Lviv citizens into scholarly circulation allow us to confidently state that Józefowicz had Polish origins with elements of German and Italian heritage.

Abstract

In the 14th century, copper coins of Galician Ruthenia were minted at the Lviv mint, most of which can be easily attributed to dated issuers. However, among them there are coins of two types that arouse controversy. These are variants with a crown on both sides of the coin ( crown/crown type) and a coin with two initials ( K/crowned L type). Almost all researchers, with the exception of perhaps only Borys Paszkiewicz, date the coins of the crown/crown type to the period before 1370, when the Polish King Casimir III the Great ruled in Galician Ruthenia. The analysis of the dies and die-chains presented in the present article allow us to attribute the coins to Louis of Hungary and refer their issue to the years 1378–1382, as suggested by B. Paszkiewicz. So far, coins of the K/crowned L type were dated to the years of the reign of Louis of Hungary. However, the analysis of the material from hoards and the shape of the punch with letter L indicate that they were minted during the interregnum in Lviv, i.e. between the end of 1370 (the date of King Casimir’s death) and October 1372 (when Władysław Opolczyk, who was appointed the governor of the Hungarian king, Louis in Galician Ruthenia, arrived in Lviv).

Abstract

Stefan Grabiński, a famous Polish author of weird fiction, who is known especially for his collection of short stories Demon ruchu (The Motion Demon, 1919), lived and worked in a period marked by a new artistic style – expressionism. Although Grabiński came from Lviv, often regarded as a province in Poland after the Great War, he could have a contact with the latest ideas concerning art and philosophy. Indeed, both in his short stories and in his novels may be found some traits typical for the expressionist poetics as, for example, a subjective perspective, a color sensitivity or a tendency to violent and dynamic use of formal elements. Grabiński was fascinated by a German literature – he read Gustav Meyrink, E.T.A. Hoffmann and an expressionist magazine “Der Orchideengarten”. Moreover, he liked going to the cinema where he could watch, for example, a famous German expressionist film – The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The only text by Grabiński which was adapted into film in his life was a short story Kochanka Szamoty (Szamota’s Mistress, 1922). Although this seemed to be a great material for an expressionist film, the director – Leon Trystan – decided to realize it in an impressionist poetics.

Abstract

Along with the growth of the population of a city, the need for the availability and accessibility of green areas for all population categories, regardless of age, financial capabilities, legal requirements, time, physical barriers, and most importantly — distance, increases, as green areas are important for maintaining physical and mental health of city residents. In Lviv, the area of public green areas per inhabitant significantly exceeds state norms. However, due to the uneven distribution of these areas in the city’s structure, some of the residents have problems with accessing them. Proposals of the development of the city’s green areas do not account for accessibility, which makes it impossible to improve it in the future due to the impossibility of reserving land for the development of such greened zones. In order to equalize the anthropogenic load and ensure that all residents have access to natural areas, an assessment of the territory of the city of Lviv was carried out in accordance with the green area pedestrian accessibility standard. Zones with an urgent need for the development of public-use green areas use were identified and methods of solving of this problem were proposed.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to take a closer look at school communities in the Polish‑Ukrainian borderland in the 1918/1919 school year. Their members, particularly the headteachers, previously focused on teaching the students obedience and loyalty towards the emperor in Vienna, had to completely redefine their roles in order to find themselves in the new reality in the late autumn of 1918. Moreover, another year of the turmoil of war, countless teachers and students in the army, enormous economic problems, exacerbated by the fights for dominance on the disputed territory, forced the headteachers to deal with matters as they arose, and the decisions they made did not always work in practice. What cast a shadow over secondary school activity apart from the Polish‑Ukrainian war was also Polish‑Jewish relations.

Abstract

Analytic philosophy is sometimes understood in opposition to continental tradition. In this article, I would like to show that a Lviv‑Warsaw School shared many fundamental traits with analytic orientation. In afterwar Poland, this tradition clashed with the dialectical materialism that lacks strong scientific tradition but had the full support of the communist party. This situation produced a unique scenario in which the methodology of science could strive as a mainstream area. A crucial role was attributed to the theory of history.

Abstract

During the interwar period, period many examples of sports facilities were built in the Second Polish Republic. These groups of facilities had one function designed for practicing a specific sport discipline but also multifunctional facilities were also built. Sports centres played a role not only enabling amateur exercises and improving sports skills but they were also the seats of sports societies, unions, clubs or circles that associated sports enthusiasts and promoted the development of physical fitness through sport. The activity of such groups was necessary due to the political and economic situation of the country at that time. The period of the first half of the interwar period was a time of state reconstruction, uncertainty and challenges for society after the end of the First World War. The reconstruction of the country also concerned the sports infrastructure, in which apart from facilities with a form resulting directly from their function (stands, halls, ski jumps) formal buildings were also built. One of the examples of such facilities is the Sports House in Lviv, designed by Jerzy Nechay. The example of the Sports House in Lviv and its formal location a short distance from the city centre is an example of modern design that combines a form of use with a formal function.
