Julian Pulikowski was an associate professor of Musicology who lectured at the University of Warsaw from 1935-1939. The article proves that although there was no formal possibility to defend a Master’s thesis in this field, Pulikowski became an informal supervisor of Gustawa Zysman’s (Krystyna Żukotyńska’s) work. The idea for the topic was conceived in 1934. Stefan Czarnowski, professor at the Department of Cultural History at the University of Warsaw, became the official thesis supervisor. The work titled Opera repertoire of the National Theater as a contribution to the cultural life of Warsaw in the second half of the 18th century was defended in June 1938. It has hitherto remained unknown to researchers - extant only in a typescript stored in the University of Warsaw Archive - as has been the case with Pulikowski’s letter in which he admits his supervision, held in the Jagiellonian Library in Krakow. Although Zysman obtained a Master’s degree in History, the content of the work indicates that it was, in fact, the first work in Musicology defended at the University of Warsaw.

Philip Diaczan (1831-1906) was one of the vital figures within the Russophiles of Galicia, a popular pro-Russian, anti-Polish movement in Austria-Hungary. Having studied in Vienna under Franc Miklosic, in 1858 he started his career as a Greek Catholic priest and a gymnasium teacher in Lviv and Berezhany, specializing in classical languages. In 1866, he moved to the Kingdom of Poland and soon led a mass exodus of Greek Catholic clergy fleeing to Russia in order to embrace better living conditions, and, eventually, join the Orthodox Church in 1875. A gymnasium teacher of classics, first in Chełm, then in Warsaw, in 1874 he was given a professorship at the University of Warsaw, which he held onto until 1903. Lacking in professional competence, he became the very epitome of a social climber and an apparatchik of the superintendent Alexander Apukhtin, giving a bad name to the Imperial University as a place purportedly full of intrigue and devoted to the Russification of Poles instead of spreading academic knowledge.

The article presents the person and works of Georgy Voronoi (1868–1908), the inventor of an original method of diagrams, a student of the famous mathematician Andrey Markov. Georgy Voronoi graduated from the Department of Physics and Mathematics at the University of St. Petersburg, and subsequently worked as a professor of mathematics at the Imperial University of Warsaw. One of his students was the future outstanding Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński. In his brief lifetime G. Voronoi published several important scientific articles on number theory. In an almost 100 page paper in French published in 1908 he described a method of diagrams, or polygons, which became known as the method of Voronoi diagrams. In the digital age this method and its modifications found new applications. The entry “Voronoi” is getting more popular on the Internet, and the method of Voronoi diagrams and its modifications are widely described in handbooks and scientific articles. The article presents application of the method in the most popular computer programs from the Geographic Information System (GIS) group and presents examples of its usage in research on geographic space in various scientific disciplines.

Pomiary chemiczne są wymagane w wielu dziedzinach, gdyż wyniki analiz chemicznych są podstawą istotnych decyzji dotyczących bezpieczeństwa i jakości życia. Wyniki badań klinicznych służą lekarzowi przy podejmowaniu decyzji na temat stanu naszego zdrowia i ewentualnej konieczności stosowania terapii, dobranej na podstawie tych wyników. Wyniki badań żywności są podstawą dopuszczenia towaru do obrotu, a w konsekwencji do spożycia. Ale nie są to jedyne obszary zastosowań pomiarów chemicznych. Duże znaczenie mają również badania antydopingowe w sporcie, wspomaganie procesów produkcyjnych, czy monitorowanie stanu środowiska naturalnego.

Chemical measurements are required in many areas, mainly as a base for a number of important decisions in respect of the safety and quality of life. The results of clinical testing are used by medical doctor for the decisions on the status of the human health and in consequence to prescribe the fit for purpose therapy. The results of food examination are used for the decision whether the composition of the foodstuff fulfils the food safety requirements. There are some more fields of usefulness of the results of chemical measurements, e.g. antydoping analysis in sport domain, industrial testing of substrates and products, and last but not least the monitoring of the environment.

The early 1960s was the period when a new discipline – INTERPRETATION OF AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS – PHOTOINTERPRETATION – was introduced into the curricula of the University of Warsaw’s Institute of Geography on the initiative of doc. Bogodar Winid. According to him, mgr Andrzej Ciołkosz played an important role because “…while improving his knowledge and organising the Laboratory, he recruited colleagues and junior students interested in the discipline”. In the summer of 1964, the Laboratory of Aerial Photographs Interpretation (PIZL) was set up. In addition to Andrzej Ciołkosz, its first team included: Zbigniew Goljaszewski, mgr inż. Bohdan Kukla and mgr Jan R. Olędzki, with mgr K. Trafas, mgr Maksymilian Skotnicki and mgr Lidia Lemisiewicz as important contributors. The initial years of Andrzej Ciołkosz’s work in the Laboratory had several aspects. The first was organisational activity, which involved gathering the equipment needed for classes and seminars. Initially, the Laboratory had only two Wild stereoscopes and several “museum pieces”: one Drobyshev stereograph, one Leningrad 6x6 cm converter, and two US Army surplus Sketch Master optical converters. It was therefore necessary to accumulate a sufficient number of stereoscopes, optical converters as well as simple drawing and computing instruments, which was quite quickly done. The required aerial photographs were obtained from the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography, State Photogrammetric Enterprise and the General Staff Academy. Another aspect of his work at the University of Warsaw was developing the curricula, writing textbooks and running classes. Andrzej Ciołkosz prepared a programme of lectures and classes in geographical interpretation of aerial photographs, with an emphasis on the photogrammetric, geodesic and topographical foundations of photointerpretation. This work ultimately led to the publication fo the first course book written by the team of the Laboratory of Photointerpretation, which later provided the basis for writing a manual for classes in geographical interpretation of aerial photographs, whose new editions were published in 1976 and 1999. Andrzej Ciołkosz also co-authored the first monograph on thematic interpretation of aerial photographs: Zastosowanie zdjęć lotniczych w geografii [Application of aerial photographs in geography]. The experiences that he gained in teaching were used by him and dr A. Kęsik in writing the course book entitled: Podstawy geograficznej interpretacji zdjęć lotniczych [Foundations of geographical interpretation of aerial photographs], which became a blueprint for the first Polish textbook in interpretation of aerial photographs, inspired by Andrzej Ciołkosz, and written with Jerzy Miszalski and Jan Olędzki: Interpretacja zdjęć lotniczych [Interpretation of aerial photographs], published by PWN in 1978. As the field of interpretation of aerial photographs developed, along with photointerpretation and remote sensing, Andrzej Ciołkosz, in keeping with contemporary trends in teaching remote sensing, wrote (together with Andrzej Kęsik) the textbook entitled Teledetekcja satelitarna [Satellite remote sensing]. This was the first Polish textbook on satellite remote sensing and application of photographs taken from orbital heights in geographical research. As digital imaging was introduced into photointerpretation on an increasingly wider scale, he wrote (together with dr Anna Jakomulska) a textbook on the foundations of digital analysis of satellite images, published in 2004. During his work at the University of Warsaw, Andrzej Ciołkosz devoted a great deal of attention to conducting classes. Starting from 1966 onwards, he held lectures and classes in basic photointerpretation, which were quite famous for their innovative form – particularly the lectures which were illustrated by high-quality and well-chosen slides, a novelty at the time, eagerly accepted by students. In the first years of teaching the interpretation of aerial photographs for geographical purposes at the University of Warsaw’s Institute of Geography, he also held lectures and classes for students preparing their master’s theses in regional geography of the world, economic geography and cartography. Later, he conducted classes in methods of obtaining remote sensing information and MA seminars in geoinformatics. He constantly worked to improve the subject matter of these classes, using newest materials, methods and equipment for analogue or computer-assisted analysis of the content of aerial photographs and satellite images obtained during his work in OPOLIS – the Centre for Processing Aerial Photographs and Satellite Images of the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography. Under his supervision, 21 MA dissertations in the field of remote sensing and cartography were submitted at the University of Warsaw. In 2004, Andrzej Ciołkosz was the supervisor of the PhD dissertation of mgr Małgorzata Krówczyńska from the Department of Remote Sensing of Environment of the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies of the University of Warsaw, entitled: “Application of spectral and structural features of objects shown on satellite images in land use mapping” [in Polish]. He also wrote many reviews of doctoral and postdoctoral dissertations and prepared professorship applications. His organisational and didactic activity did not mean that Andrzej Ciołkosz neglected research work. He conducted research on the structure of crops using photographic methods. On the basis of panchromatic aerial photographs taken from a triangulation tower in the vicinity of Lesznowola near Warsaw, he determined the optimum period for taking aerial photographs for the purposes of crop identification. At a later stage, such aerial photographs were subject to microphotometric analysis. Developing a photointerpretation key allowed him to analyse the produced photograms. The results of crop identification using the key were compared with the results of field research, which allowed for evaluating the reliability of this method. Another publication was devoted to the application of aerial photographs in studies on road traffic. Together with dr Jerzy Miszalski, he developed a method of analysing road traffic on the basis of aerial photographs specially taken for this purpose. With the coming of colour satellite images, Andrzej Ciołkosz indicated the possibilities offered by such images for enriching the content and form of small-scale general maps. In 1968, he got involved in analysing the colours of the Earth in satellite images taken during manned orbital spaceflights and comparing these colours with the colours used by cartographers in landscape maps. This allowed to identify the differences and similarities between maps and satellite images in rendering the representation of the Earth in different types of small-scale maps. Andrzej Ciołkosz also ran a number of projects commissioned by various institutions and implemented by the University’s Laboratory of Photointerpretation. These included analyses of the transport infrastructure in the steelworks of the Upper Silesian industrial district, and an analysis of the spatial structure of selected Polish cities. He also organised training programmes for the staff of various institutions having an interest in the application of aerial photographs. We should also take note of Andrzej Ciołkosz’s activity in the Polish Geographical Society (PTG) related to the popularisation and implementation of the new discipline in geographical sciences, which geographical photointerpretation certainly was in the 1960s. This activity was organisational in nature, connected with the establishment of a problem section at the PTG Main Board to deal with the application of aerial photographs in teaching and research. Andrzej Ciołkosz was among the initiators of the PTG’s Photointerpretation Committee, in 1990 reorganised into a PTG Branch under the name of the Remote Sensing Club. One of the Committee’s tasks was to incorporate the teaching of photointerpretation in university geography studies in Poland. This was done in 1966. Another aspect of his activity was the establishment of a forum for exchange of ideas and experiences related to the application of aerial photographs in geographic research. This was done via national photointerpretation conferences, initially organised every year, and later once every two years. The third aspect of his work was starting a specialised publishing series. The fi rst volume of the periodical entitled Fotointerpretacja w Geografi i [Photointerpretation in geography] was published in 1964. Andrzej Ciołkosz was the editor or a co-editor of the series’ fi rst six volumes. Until today, he is a member of the Programme Council of the series, currently named Teledetekcja środowiska [Remote sensing], whose 40th volume was put out in 2008. He used the experiences gained in teaching at the University of Warsaw in the lectures in remote sensing that he held in other universities and colleges.
