Dzieło demiurga. Zapis gnostyckiego doświadczenia egzystencji we wczesnej poezji Czesława Miłosza (książka)
PublicationDziełem demiurga jest świat młodego Miłosza. Książka pokazuje, że jak nikt dotąd w polskiej poezji wypowiedział on temu światu sprzeciw. Buntownicze wizje poety zostały wyrażone językiem stosowanym dotąd do analizy gnostycyzmu i manicheizmu. Język ten odsłania świat żywiołów, wojny, dzieje poddane prawom darwinizmu, myśli i uczucia człowieka zbuntowanego na ziemskim padole. Taki świat wart był w oczach poety jedynie kosmicznego...

Manifesty urbanistyczne. W poszukiwaniu współczesnego modelu miasta
PublicationPrzypominane w tym tomie manifesty urbanistyczne powstały w odpowiedzi na „szok urbanizacyjny” XIX i początku XX wieku, kiedy problemy wyrosłe z nienotowanego nigdy wcześniej wzrostu miast odsunęły na bardzo daleki plan wcześniejsze rozwiązania geometryczne jako nieadekwatne do palących problemów społecznych, ekonomicznych, technicznych i środowiskowych. Wizje miast zaczęli budować nie tylko, a może nawet nie przede wszystkim,...

The gaseous messenger carbon monoxide is released from the eye into the ophthalmic venous blood depending on the intensity of sunlight
PublicationCircadian and seasonal rhythms in daylight affect many physiological processes. In the eye, energy of intense visible light not only initiates a well-studied neural reaction in the retina that modulates the secretory function of the hypothalamus and pineal gland, but also activates the heme oxygenase (HO) to produce carbon monoxide (CO). This study was designed to determine whether the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) in the...
