Matka i córka wobec wojennej apokalipsy w świetle książki Anny Janko »Mała Zagłada«: trauma, pamięć, postpamięć
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2022) Kapralska, Łucja
The article refers to the book by Anna Janko <i>A Little Annihilation: A Memoir</i> (<i>Mała Zagłada</i>) and its aim is to present how tragic events, although not experienced personally, affect the life of the next generation after directly experienced trauma. The author’s mother, as a child, was one of the few who survived the war massacre in the village Sochy and struggles all her life with the remembered cruelty of those events. Her daughter knows the war only from her mother's storytelling, through the intergenerational memory message, but she experiences similar syndromes to her mother. The literary narrative turns out to be a remedy for the experienced trauma of both generations – directly suffered by the war and the post-memory generation. By reporting on her mother's fate, Janko puts herself in the position of a descendant of the survivors, but also of a victim who must face with this inherited trauma. Moreover, as the social memory of the war is currently dominated by other narratives, Anna Janko's book takes the mentioned war events out of the margins of social memory.

On nonexistence of global in time solution for a mixed problem for a nonlinear evolution equation with memory generalizing the Voigt-Kelvin rheological model
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Pukach, Petro; Il'kiv, Volodymyr; Nytrebych, Zinovii; Vovk, Myroslava
The paper deals with investigating of the first mixed problem for a fifth-order nonlinear evolutional equation which generalizes well known equation of the vibrations theory. We obtain sufficient conditions of nonexistence of a global solution in time variable.

Pamięć zbiorowa w publicznym dyskursie : dyskusja internetowa sąsiadujących z sobą grup regionalnych
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2010) Szmeja, Maria
Official history at school manuals and in scientific publications presented by dominant group is very often questioned by minority groups. Their interpretation of bygone events usually based on oral history. They believed that history transmitted directly in group is more »authentic«, contrary to the offi cial which is more ideological. I went through internet discussion concerning historical background of two neighboring groups. They live on South-West of country, but during the division of Poland in 1792 they were incorporated to different states. One of them – Silesians were included to Prussia, the other group to Russian Empire. The collective memory of these groups were formed in different circumstances and now descendant of these group recall history in different way. They also presented another attitudes toward offi cial history. Nowadays, because of political reason, these groups live in one administration unit. In communist time, group of Russian background was the ruling one. Now Silesians are more influential in social life. What is interesting, both group used history in very instrumental way. The internet discussion shows how both group used their history to substantiate symbolic domination, how they invent their historical position. Discussion contains past events, commemoration of heroes (monuments, name of street), right to use dialect.

Set representation for rule-generation algorithms
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2022) Kharkongor, Carynthia; Nath, Bhabesh
The task of mining association rules has become one of the most widely used discovery pattern methods in knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). One such task is to represent an item set in the memory. The representation of the item set largely depends on the type of data structure that is used for storing them. Computing the process of mining an association rule impacts the memory and time requirements of the item set. With the constant increase of the dimensionality of data and data sets, mining such a large volume of data sets will be difficult since all of these item sets cannot be placed in the main memory. As the representation of an item set greatly affects the efficiency of the rule-mining association, a compact and compressed representation of the item set is needed. In this paper, a set representation is introduced that is more memory- and cost-efficient. Bitmap representation takes 1 byte for an element, but a set representation uses 1 bit. The set representation is being incorporated in the Apriori algorithm. Set representation is also being tested for different rule-generation algorithms. The complexities of these different rule-generation algorithms that use set representation are being compared in terms of memory and time of execution.

The presence of absence. Transgenerational local memory of the Holocaust among Hungarians
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Papp, Richárd; Csepeli, György
The paper reports on the results of a non-representative focus group research aimed at exploring the local memory of the Holocaust in Hungary. The research took place between 2021 and 2024, almost 80 years after the events of 1944, at the historical moment when communicative memory is transforming into cultural memory. The sites of the research were villages, small and medium-sized towns, and the capital, precisely those scenes where the drama of the Holocaust took place in the summer of 1944. The results of the research showed that the Jews disappeared, but signs of their former presence remained. The traces of past Jewish life, however, became increasingly obscured over time in the minds of the successive generations.

Transgenerational Holocaust memory in Slovakia: from forgetting to ambivalence about the roots of hatred
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Buzalka, Juraj; Očková, Katarína
This article explores Holocaust memory in Slovakia, shedding light on how Slovak citizens perceive this past and its transgenerational transmission. The data presented were gathered in 2023 through ethnographic fieldwork and focus group interviews with informants belonging to three generations (between ages of 18 and 95), in three different locations across the country: Krupina, Prešov, and Bratislava. The initial findings show that Slovakia has been moving from indifference towards the Holocaust to the limited capability of realizing the actual causes and effects of atrocities, while at the same time officially accepting the commemorative centrality of the Holocaust.

Tropami pamięci - wstępne uwagi na temat tożsamości w biografiach krymskich Tatarów
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2011) Borowik, Irena
The article is devoted to the preliminary analysis of biographical interviews, taken with representatives of Crimean Tatars returning to Crimean Peninsula and settling in the places that they or their ancestors used to live before deportation. The research was conducted in summer of 2008 and 2009, 20 interviews were taken with consideration of age, sex, place of living and level of education. Traces of memory are understood in this article as repeatable elements of biographical narratives. By this virtue those repeated elements refer not only to individual identity but they also build collective identity, more precisely national in this case. The key element of the article is the third part of it where relations between memory and identity are explored in collected biographies. As it appeared in all life-stories deportation from Crimea and return after years are crucial elements of construction of biographies and in all cases it has a form of trajectories. The general conclusion is that memory of these painful events and celebration of it is functional for building the strong collective identity which is based on traditional values, religious and political integration of national minority.

"Yizkor" : a case of Holocaust memory activism in a Czech village
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Seidlová, Veronika; Novotná, Hedvika
The article explores the construction and preservation of Holocaust memory in the small Czech village of Kosova Hora. The study, based on focus group interviews, reveals how local Holocaust memory is shaped by a unique combination of activism, local history, and communal practices. The article highlights the role of a Jewish couple who, by rescuing and restoring the village synagogue during the Communist era, created a central site for Holocaust remembrance. This act of preservation catalyzed broader local engagement, resulting in a collective effort to remember the Jewish community that once thrived there. The synagogue now serves not only as a cultural and educational center but also as a place for religious commemoration, despite the absence of a local Jewish population. The research concludes that such localized efforts are crucial for sustaining Holocaust memory, showing how minority activism can embed itself within majority memory, even in small and seemingly ordinary communities.
