Onomastyka portali erotycznych(Wydawnictwo UMCS, 2014) Graf, Magdalena; Beata Jarosz, Małgorzata Karwatowska, Robert Litwiński, Adam SiwiecThe subject matter of the article is on analysis of proper names that are used on the web sites and web pages containing erotic and pornographic contents, as well as by the users of this web sites. Onomastic analysis is combined with arrangements from the field of culture studies the concept of postmodern eroticism.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Centrum i peryferia dyskursu maladycznego(Belianum, 2025) Graf, MagdalenaArtykuł omawia dyskurs medyczny, zderzając narracje medyczne z wartościowaniem językowym.

Tuwim explicitly proclaims “the rule of adaptation, not translation”; most notably she applied this rule in her translations for children, particularly her much-loved and still much-appreciated translations of A.A. Milne’s “Winnie-the-Pooh“ (“Kubuś Puchatek“, 1938) and “The House at Pooh Corner“ (“Chatka Puchatka“, 1938), often described as “congenial translations” or even better than the originals. “The Question of Adaptation“ is not only an important manifesto of an individual translator whose work had an invaluable impact on the Polish reception of English classics but also, in a way, a summary and synthesis of the most prevalent strategy in translating children’s books in Poland up to the 1950s, which was based on far-reaching domestication, freedom in approaching the original and purposeful adjustments for the benefit of the young audience.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , A versatile one-pot strategy for the synthesis of organosilicon-functionalized polyolefins(Elsevier Ltd., 2025-11-25) Januszewski, Rafał; Orwat, Bartosz; Dutkiewicz, Michał; Kownacki, IreneuszWe report a facile one-pot catalytic strategy for the synthesis of organosilicon-functionalized polyolefins — a long-standing challenge in polymer science. This streamlined approach integrates the hydrosilylation of polybutadiene with subsequent hydrogenation of the resulting silyl-functionalized intermediates, all under unified reaction conditions. The developed protocol exhibits exceptional functional group tolerance, enabling the incorporation of a broad spectrum of organic moieties that are typically incompatible with conventional copolymerization or post-polymerization methods. Remarkably, the degree of functionalization can be precisely tuned simply by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of the organosilicon reagent to vinyl groups. This level of control, versatility, and simplicity has not been demonstrated previously in the functionalization of polyolefins. The methodology paves the way for the tailor-made design of advanced silicon-containing polyolefins with attractive functional groups, opening new avenues for applications in materials science, surface engineering, and beyond.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Komunikacyjne aspekty pornografii(Belianum, 2025) Graf, Paweł WładysławTekst analizuje podobieństwa i różnice między erotyką a pornografią w literaturze.
