Artykuł osadza początek chemii teoretycznej w Polsce i życiorys jej twórcy, profesora Kazimierza Gumińskiego, w chronologii odkryć, które doprowadziły do powstania chemii kwantowej oraz w politycznej historii tamtych czasów, mianowicie drugiej wojny światowej i okresu stalinizmu. Te właśnie okoliczności zewnętrzne pośrednio doprowadziły do utworzenia, z dniem 1 września 1952, Katedry Chemii Teoretycznej na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim w Krakowie. Większość informacji tutaj zawartych pochodzi ze złożonego przez Gumińskiego sprawozdania z pierwszych 10 lat funkcjonowania tej katedry. Jest ono załączone jako aneks. Oryginalne a wysokie wymagania stawiane przez Gumińskiego swoim uczniom autor relacjonuje z własnego doświadczenia.

Wiek XIX należy do przełomowego w dziejach polskiej terminologii medycznej. Powstał wówczas, opublikowany w 1881 roku w wyniku licznych dyskusji, głównie środowiska lekarskiego, najważniejszy leksykon krakowski Słownik terminologii lekarskiej polskiej. Chociaż jego terminologia reprezentuje szkołę krakowską, to wpływy innych polskich ośrodków naukowych są w nim również widoczne, ponieważ na ostatnim etapie przygotowań leksykonu krakowscy autorzy słownika konsultowali się z warszawskimi, poznańskimi i lwowskimi lekarzami. Materiał w tym przekładowym słowniku jest różnorodny i nierzadko przekracza granice ówczesnej medycyny. Jest bogatym źródłem dla historyka języka polskiego do badania nie tylko stanu polskiej terminologii medycznej w XIX stuleciu (np. liczebności, pochodzenia terminów), terminologii wówczas porządkowanej i uzupełnianej w sposób zorganizowany i świadomy, lecz także – charakterystycznych w niej zjawisk (np. synonimii i polisemii) na tle innych epok w dziejach polskiej terminologii medycznej. Celem artykułu jest nie tylko zrelacjonowanie stanu dotychczasowych badań historycznojęzykowych, lecz także wskazanie możliwości, jakie te badania dają kolejnym badaczom polszczyzny.

In 1999, four editorials in the journal Biological Chemistry commemorate how, since the 1980s, Vienna has transformed from a “[peripheral] outpost near the Iron Curtain” to a “central hub” for life science research. A closer look at these texts reveals the explicit and implicit role of drawing maps for and within science, depicting centers, peripheries and ‒ in this case ‒ geopolitically real and allegorical “iron curtains”. Based on this observation and the issues it raises, I re-examine the pertinent empirical material covering relevant times, places, (sub-) disciplines and institutions, as well as the period after 2000. I deal with “molecularization” in biology, (sub)disciplinary differentiation, internationalization, as well as changes in public-private relations and a pair of complementary concepts of innovation and tradition. Thus, I retrace the establishment of a techno-epistemic culture in a local, disciplinary context. I conclude that guiding principles such as excellence and internationality are understood and implemented in academia in locally and historically bounded ways, and I argue that a critical re-examination of empirical material can substantially enrich our approach to such topics.

2021 saw the thirtieth anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and there is a growing interest in the historicization of the past 30 years of transformation. Taking this anniversary as a point of departure, we want to look into a specific area that has markedly changed in the last three decades – the scholarly community. The interest of analysing the academia in a period of transformation is not new, and the 1990s are amply covered by the literature scrutinising changes and forging plans for the future development, but we intend to enrich this discussion with approaches coming from the history of science and of scholarship. By looking at changes that happened in the decade following the end of the Socialist utopia, we propose to look into mechanisms of organizational and intellectual innovation and place them in the context of European and global integration. As we argue, looking at the 1990s in Central and Eastern Europe can help us to understand how scholarly systems change by oscillating between tradition and innovation, and we propose the notions of a selective Westernisation and an equally selective traditionalism for our case study.

The article discusses the scientific and pedagogical activity of the outstanding Ukrainian radiophysicist Abram Slutskin in the context of the development of world radiophysical research. It is substantiated that the theoretical works of the scientist defined a new direction of research in Ukraine, namely the radar, and were important for the development of ultrahigh frequency physics. Innovative research initiated by Abram Slutskin found application in new defense technologies, military equipment, and special devices for medicine, biology, navigation, communications, household television and the radio industry. The article proves that Abram Slutskin had priority in launching research in the field of biophysics in Ukraine. The research on the use of ultrahigh frequencies for treatment of oncological patients carried out by scientists were unique for that time. Abram Slutskin᾽s graduate students became well-known specialists, who further developed the scientist’s ideas by initiating innovative areas of research and creating new institutions. We have grounds to consider Abram Slutskin as one of the founders of the Ukrainian scientific radio-physical school.

The foundations of mathematics cover mathematical as well as philosophical problems. At the turn of the 20th century logicism, formalism and intuitionism, main foundational schools were developed. A natural problem arose, namely of how much the foundations of mathematics influence the real practice of mathematicians. Although mathematics was and still is declared to be independent of philosophy, various foundational controversies concerned some mathematical axioms, e.g. the axiom of choice, or methods of proof (particularly, non-constructive ones) and sometimes qualified them as admissible (or not) in mathematical practice, relatively to their philosophical (and foundational) content. Polish Mathematical School was established in the years 1915–1920. Its research program was outlined by Zygmunt Janiszewski (the Janiszewski program) and suggested that Polish mathematicians should concentrate on special branches of studies, including set theory, topology and mathematical logic. In this way, the foundations of mathematics became a legitimate part of mathematics. In particular, the foundational investigations should be conducted independently of philosophical assumptions and apply all mathematically accepted methods, finitary or not, and the same concerns other branches of mathematics. This scientific ideology contributed essentially to the remarkable development of logic, set theory and topology in Poland.

The Danzig Academic Gymnasium (1558–1817) was one of the first Protestant schools at the college level in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It became one of the most famous educational institutions in Europe of the 16–18th centuries. For almost 260 years, it attracted one of the best professors and students of the era. We concentrate on the achievements in science, the role of the City Council Library in the academic life in and outside of the Gymnasium, and highlight the activities of the Danzig Naturalist Society. In this survey, we feature important representatives of the scientific disciplines present in the Gymnasium, both faculty and their students, as well as Gdańsk scientists in general. We outline the lasting impact of the Danzig Academic Gymnasium on the intellectual life in Gdańsk, the Pomerania region, and some intellectual circles in Europe.
