History Of

Powszechna Wystawa Krajowa, zorganizowana w Poznaniu w 1929 r. była największym wydarzeniem wystawienniczym w historii II Rzeczypospolitej. Mając za cel pokazanie dorobku niepodległej Polski, była przeglądem jej osiągnięć w zakresie przemysłu, polityki, kultury, rolnictwa. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie najważniejszych materiałów – katalogów, książek, fotografii, czasopism, które zostały wydane z okazji Wystawy, lub które o niej wspominają. Analiza wybranych publikacji pozwala zapoznać się szczegółowo z treściami prezentowanymi na poszczególnych ekspozycjach. Wiele publikacji miało również odgrywać rolę edukacyjną. Część z nich była opracowaniami historycznymi, a część stanowi dziś świadectwo o ówczesnej sytuacji społeczno-polityczno-kulturalnej w Polsce, dzięki czemu mogą być uznane jako źródła do badań historycznych z dzisiejszej perspektywy. Materials regarding the Polish General Exhibition in 1929 in the collection of the Greater Poland Digital Library The Polish General Exhibition organized in Poznań in 1929 was the biggest exhibition in the history of the Second Polish Republic. Its goal was to showcase the achievements of independent Poland, and present a review of its accomplishments in the areas of industry, politics, culture, and agriculture. The article aims at presenting the most important materials: catalogs, books, photographs, and magazines, which were published to celebrate the Exhibition or contain references to it. The analysis of selected publications allows one to gain detailed insights into the content of particular displays. Many publications were also meant to play an educational role. Some of them were historical studies, and some are now the testimony of the social, political, and cultural situation in Poland back then, which means they can be treated as sources for historical research from the contemporary point of view.

In The Beginning

The paper deals with the problem of the establishment of capitalism in Russia in the late 19 - early 20th centuries. Using a wide array of historical research and documents the author argues that the thesis on the advanced state of capitalism in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century does not stand up to historical scrutiny, and the role of the famous Emancipation reform of 1861 appears to be of limited importance.

This article discusses impact of UMNO-PAS political cooperation towards Islamic development in Malaysia from 1973 until 1978. The success of political cooperation in 1973 was the result of both UMNO’s leader, Tun Abdul Razak and PAS’s leader, Asri Muda willingness to explore a new political approach compared to what was being practiced at that time. Both leaders then started the development of a government known as the ‘Cooperation Government’ with the combination of UMNO and PAS in 1973 and later on, the development of the National Front’s (BN) Coalition Government in 1974. The Islamic religion benefits the most from the development of the Coalition Government which is a favourable gain for the Malays in Malaysia. Henceforth, this article will discuss in detail on the impact of the political cooperation between UMNO and PAS within the cooperation period. The methods used for this research is by interview and also by referring to secondary sources which are analyzed in a historical descriptive manner that is normally practiced in historical research. At the end of this research it is established that there are profound impacts to the Islamic religion within the UMNO-PAS cooperation period within 1973 to 1978 for example, the television and radio station beginning starting their programmes with the recitation from Quranic verses, the promulgation of ‘Adhan, alcohols are no longer served in official government’s function, lottery companies are not allowed to promote and announce the lottery results in official government’s media, the establishment of Islamic institution, the strengthening of Islamic education and the appropriate change in the relevant ministry’s symbols.

In this article we propose two research techniques that can bridge the gap between quantitative and qualitative historical research. These are: (1) a multiple regression approach that gives information about general patterns between numerical variables and the selection of outliers for qualitative analysis; (2) a homogeneity analysis with alternating least squares that results in a two-dimensional picture in which the relationships between categorical variables are graphically presented.

Union Workhouse

This essay analyses J.M. Synge's construction of domestic and institutional space in his debut play The Shadow of the Glen. The Richmond Asylum and Rathdrum Union Workhouse, the two institutions of confinement which are mentioned in the play, are seen as playing important roles in constructing a threatening offstage space beyond the cottage walls. The essay reads Nora's departure from the home at the end of the play as an eviction into this hostile environment, thereby challenging the dominant interpretation of The Shadow as a woman's choice between her home and the road. By drawing on historical research and Synge's travel writing to delineate contemporary attitudes towards the asylum and the workhouse, the essay aims to provide a deeper understanding of the play's dynamics of place.
