In her article, Barbara M. Stafford argues for the conception of literacy that would encompass visual skills besides the traditional emphasis on verbal competence. Image itself is important, not merely the information it may convey. Moreover, a more extensive notion of education is necessitated by the process of radical perceptual and conceptual changes that have been occurring since the Enlightenment and are all-pervasive in Postmodernism. The new-found power and ubiquity of images needs to be recognized in order to surpass the limitative, yet enduring Platonic distrust in visual culture. Medical,environmental, physical, legal, and other practices have nonetheless profoundly benefited from the technologies of visualization.Examples from the 18th century visual endeavors such as preserving fragmented cultures, exhibition of diversity, and the externalization of somatic experience show, how images challenge the restrictions of human comprehension. With the advent of visual and electronically generated culture, the time is ripe to edify images from their low status.Visual cognition as the crucial element of knowledge should be reflected in a hybrid art-science, public policy, as well as pedagogy.

The information world is full of labeled quantitative data, in which a number of qualitative categories are to be compared based on a quantitative variable. Their graphical representations are various and serve different audiences and purposes. Based on a simple data set and its different visualizations, we will play with the data and their visual representation. We will use well-known charts, such as a regular table, a bar plot, and a word cloud; less-know, such as Cleveland’s dot plot, a fan plot, and a text-table; and new ones, constructed for the very aim of this essay, such as a labeled rectangle plot and a ruler-like graph. Our discussion will not aim to choose the best graph but rather to show the different faces of visualizing labeled quantitative data. I hope to convince the readers that it is always worth spending a minute on pondering how to present their data.

Archaeological excavations in Milejowice, Wrocław district, were carried out in 1999-2002 in connection with the modernization of the A-4 motorway. During those excavations, relics of a settlement from the early Iron Age were discovered that were distinguished by the layout of the buildings. The visual presentation in the form of a 3D reconstruction of the Hallstatt settlement from Milejowice is a computer created image based on analysis of the sources obtained during excavation work. The purpose of 3D imaging of the features discovered on site was to provide a spatial representation of the settlement’s buildings, divided into individual phases. An analysis of the development and spatial organization of the settlement complexes discovered at site No. 19 in Milejowice, was carried out by Jarosław Kopiasz from the Archaeological Museum in Biskupin. For spatial reconstruction, one of many possible suggestions for interpreting the buildings of this settlement was selected. In the 3D technique six separate settlement zones were reconstructed at this site, along with the individual phases of their functioning. The visual presentation of settlement complexes discovered at the Milejowice site is a valuable source of information on early Iron Age construction. The visualization verified the collected data, and 3D modelling facilitated the interpretation of the research results. With the help of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and three-dimensional modelling, it was possible to analyze the spatial organization of settlement complexes from Milejowice and to separate the individual phases of development of the designated zones. It should be noted, however, that digital reconstructions of settlement complexes from Milejowice remain the hypothesis of researchers, based on their analysis of documentation and theoretical assumptions.

Persuasive discourse observed in youth magazines occurs not only on the verbal level. The article shows the role that visualization plays in the context of persuasive discourse. The main tool of influence is language, however the composition of youth magazines, inwhich the visual component dominates over the verbal layer, is deliberate. The composition has been adjusted to the needs and expectations of the teenage target reader, whose perceptive abilities were shaped mostly by visual mass culture. For the magazine recipient photography is the component which articulates the most, subsequently to language. Modern magazines have a very expanded visual stratum, actually, in numerous magazines it even overshadows the text. Glossy magazines have a trait of hybridity and their characteristic feature is the possibility to read and watch simultaneously, as the message does not only restrain itself to the text, but is also transmitted through photographs. The new style of communication is thus accompanied by a shift in the text–image affiliation. Photography in the context of persuasive discourse conducted in magazines, plays as significant a role as the verbal constituent. Focusing on the persuasive influence of the visual layer of magazines, the article discusses the role of photographytreated as a supplement of the text, but also as an independent statement.

The aim of the article is to popularize and attempt to reflect on the phenomenon of visuality in various areas of life in the age of new media. The first part of the text introduces the meaning of the term 'visualization' and shows various dimensions of visuality, which is an attempt to validate the assumption about the leading role of image in the modern world. The next part presents the main characteristics of visuality. Visuality is a mean of communication, description of events and expressing emotions. Visual objects affect both the cognitive and emotional sphere, which is the reason behind the constant increase of importance of the message with their participation. The last part of the article contains analysis of the positive and negative aspects of visuality. The dual nature of modern visual messages is associated with the specifics of digital media. The ease of creating and sending images in the era of new media leads to overload of the space with visual objects.

Podstawowym celem skalowania wielowymiarowego jest przedstawienie relacji między obiektami w przestrzeni wielowymiarowej jako odległości w przestrzeni 2- lub 3- wymiarowej. Dane wejściowe do procedur skalowania wielowymiarowego to zazwyczaj symetryczna macierz kwadratowa wskazująca na relacje (podobieństwa lub niepodobieństwa) pomiędzy obiektami pewnego zbioru. Istnieje wiele technik klasycznego skalowania wielowymiarowego, jednak wszystkie z nich wymagają aby w poszczególnych komórkach tej macierzy znajdowały się pojedyncze wartości liczbowe. Denoeux and Masson (2002) zaproponowali rozszerzenie klasycznego skalowania wielowymiarowego na dane symboliczne w postaci przedziałów liczbowych. Danymi wejściowymi do opracowanego przez nich algorytmu 1NTERSCAL jest tabela zawierająca minimalne i maksymalne odległości pomiędzy hiperprostopadłościanami reprezentującymi obiekty. Takie same podejście występuje w algorytmach SYMSCAL i I-SCAL zaproponowanych przez Groenena i in. (2005). W artykule przedstawiony zostały najważniejsze algorytmy skalowania wielowymiarowego dla danych symbolicznych w postaci przedziałów liczbowych oraz przykłady ich zastosowania dla danych symbolicznych pochodzących z repozytorium http://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~touati/sodas-pagegarde.htm.

The aim of multidimensional scaling is to represent dissimilarities among objects in high dimensional space as distances in low (usually 2- or 3-) dimensional space. Usually the input to multidimensional scaling procedure is a square, symmetric matrix indicating relationships (similarities or dissimilarities) among a set of items. There are many techniques of classical multidimensional scaling but all under assumption that each entry in relationship matrix is single numeric value. Denoeux and Masson (2002) have proposed to extend multidimensional scaling onto symbolic interval data. The input to theirs INTERSCAL algorithm is interval dissimilarity table containing minimum and maximum distance between hyper-rectangles representing objects. The same approach is used in SYMSCAL and I-SCAL algorithms proposed by Groenen et al. (2005). Article presents main algorithms of multi-dimensional scaling for symbolic data in form of intervals along with some examples on datasets taken from symbolic data repository (http://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~touati/sodas-pagegarde.htm).

The method of lean management is very successful in Polish enterprises. In today’s turbulent world, many companies want to increase their efficiency and reduce costs. The lean gives them the opportunity to do so, eliminating all activities that do not bring value from the point of view of the customer, and implementing standardized processes and procedures that contribute to the activities of workers in continuous improvement – kaizen. The purpose of this article is to present the theoretical and empirical effectiveness of lean management in Polish companies basing on the conducted research. The article consists of two parts. The first part is theoretical and based on studies of the literature it describes concepts of lean, kaizen, standardization and visualization, their main objectives and principles. The second part presents the solely empirical research, the responses of managers, specialists in lean or kaizen activities in Polish enterprises on the tools of lean, standardization and visualization.

Visualization is one of the most important parts of statistical analysis. In this paper we present a new method of multiple bar charts to display the frequencies of data tables split up into conditional relative frequencies of one target variable and the absolute frequencies of the corresponding combinations of the remaining explanatory variables. In this paper we present the R package extracat allowing for new graphical tools: rmp and cpcp plot [Pilhoefer, Unwin 2013]. The first plot uses the a crossover of mosaicplots and multiple barcharts to display the frequencies of a contingency table split up into conditional relative frequencies of one target variable and the absolute frequencies of the corresponding combination of the remaining explanatory variables. It provides a well-structured representation of the data with the possibility of easy interpretation. Another plot presented in the paper is the cpcp plot using parallel coordinates. Sequences of points are used to represent each of the variable categories, while ordering algorithms are applied to represent a hierarchical structure in the dataset.

Visualizing data in the form of illustrative diagrams and searching, in these diagrams, for structures, clusters, trends, dependencies etc. is one of the main aims of multivariate statistical analysis. In the case of symbolic data (e.g. data in form of: single quantitative value, categorical values, intervals, multi-valued variables, multi-valued variables with weights), some well-known methods are provided by suitable 'symbolic' adaptations of classical methods such as principal component analysis or factor analysis. An alternative visualization of symbolic data is obtained by constructing a Kohonen map. Instead of displaying the individual items k = 1,..., n by n points or rectangles in a two dimensional space, the n items are first clustered into a number m of mini-clusters and then these mini-clusters are assigned to the vertices of a rectangular lattice of points in the plane such that 'similar' clusters are represented by neighbouring vertices in the lattice.

Three-dimensional reconstructions of artefacts and monuments play an increasingly important role in reconstructing and popularizing of the past. The 3D visualizations and animations perform an important function in museums and are used for education and popularization. The 3D software is an invaluable tool also for professionals. The visualizations were created at the Archaeological Rescue Research Team of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław. They will be a graphic supplement to published results of excavations conducted in the years 2006-2008 at the Hallstatt cemetery in Domasław. Digital images of some selected graves were made under the project: The Hallstatt painted pottery from Domasław, site No. 10/11/12, Wrocław District, implemented by the Institute and funded by the National Science Centre for the years 2010-2013. The three-dimensional reconstructions of the Hallstatt graves from Domasław were created using 3D graphic software Autodesk 3ds Max 2011 with the rendering engine V-ray Adv for 3 dsmax 2011 (Chaos Group). Spatial presentation of the burials with regard to the layout of the equipment, in particular the position of painted vessels in the aspect of funeral rites, was the aim of the three-dimensional digital illustration. The visualizations were created as a result of the analysis and interpretation of the source materials, in accordance with the guidelines from the London Charter and the Lausanne Charter. Two chamber graves: No. 521 and No. 4270, in which a unique wagon model was discovered, have been reconstructed using the latest in digital techniques. Two urn graves: No. 799 and No. 12108, have been also reconstructed. Four cremation graves, selected for the reconstruction, represent different types of burials discovered at the cemetery in Domasław. Two of them were richly equipped chamber graves (No. 521 and No. 4270), and the other two were rather poorly equipped urn burials, without any kind of inner construction (No. 12108), as well as surrounded by cobbles (No. 799). Four burials discovered at the Hallstatt cemetery in Domasław have been reconstructed using advanced software for creating three-dimensional graphics. 16 digital illustrations were created as a result of this work. They reconstruct the appearance of the burials with regard to the layout of the equipment, in particular the position of painted vessels. The virtual reconstruction has enabled to present visually and to verify the data collected in the course of the excavation. Thanks to solid preliminary source research, the 3D reconstructions have been historically reliable. Proper archiving and documenting of the reconstruction process have been also provided, so that the collected data can be easily verified, updated and corrected if necessary. The three-dimensional reconstructions of the burials from the Hallstatt cemetery in Domasław are intended for an exhibition presenting the results of research at this extremely rich site.

The most important merits of Comenius in the history of education are his justifi-cation and the use of visualization in teaching, describing and justifying the class-lesson system with a breakdown into subjects of teaching, and he is credited with the work of the “improvement of human affairs” in the world in the spirit of “humanistic values”. A careful reading of Comenius’ textbooks, in particular his Orbis sensualium pictus (1658), shows that all these “merits” are the result of a simplified interpretation or even misinterpretation of his works, in particular – focusing only on the theoretical and visionary texts by Comenius and not taking into account his textbooks.

We propose a system of colour visualization of music based on a system of colour signs, which are connected to musical tones. Tones, which are in harmonic relationships, are represented by related colours. First, we outline the foundations on which the system of colour signs is based - the mathematical model of harmony. We discuss several possibilities of visual representation of expressive elements of music - melody, composition, rhythm and harmony. These relationships enabled us to develop a computer program that employs these elements for visualization. The program mimics human perception in which the parts are determined by the perception of the whole. Furthermore, the program enables the development of tools that can enhance music understanding during listening or performing. Music performance can acquire a new quality with the use of interactive coloured musical instruments, which by using colours show the performer different possibilities for forming musical harmonies and thereby change the composing of music into a game and attractive colour-aural journey. Here we stumble upon a challenge for educational science and methodology: how to use such upcoming multimedia tools. These tools would bring the processes of learning and playing a game closer together since playing games is a child's most natural form of functioning. Furthermore, in the area of artistic creation we can once again establish a balance between our logical and intuitive nature.

This paper gives a visualization of the territorial origins of the population of the Recovered Lands (Poland) in 1950. It constitutes a map series, based on Kosiński’s research from 1960, presenting data from the first post-war census. Vector data of the historical administrative borders of Poland was used to prepare the maps; specifically the administrative division of the People's Republic of Poland from 1946 and the state border of the Second Republic of Poland from 1931. The administrative borders were modified as appropriate using, among other things, historical maps and satellite images. The results of this research constitute a comprehensive study on the origins of the population of the Recovered Territories. Twenty-four maps were designed, showing many aspects of the studied phenomenon.

Economic indicators provide much information concerning the functioning of an enterprise. Their usefulness depends also on decision-makers' comprehension of structural and semantic connections existing between indicators. Visualization of a semantic network in the topic map allows users to more swiftly notice and understand various relations. The main goal of this paper is to discuss the research on heuristic evaluation of visualization in the semantic searching for economic information. This study consists of three experiments with the participants. We used the two author’s applications of the ontologies for return on investment indicator and for early warning system. In this paper we analyze and compare the results of these experiments.

Pattern recognition of bankrupt or non-bankrupt enterprises may not only extend or confirm the knowledge in economics, but also deliver to experts, from the standpoint of the decision support, a view of the economic and financial situation of the audited enterprise. Therefore, it may be an effective tool for early warning of the bankruptcy risk of the enterprise. Such a tool is especially important for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the underdeveloped regions. The research described in the paper is intended for generation and visualization of the state of SMEs in the Podkarpacie region on the basis of information included in financial reports. A self-organizing map (SOM), often called the Kohonen net, has been used in the unsupervised modelling mode. Results of research show a high potential of the method to the stated objectives and the simplicity of the representation of knowledge transferred to entrepreneurs and financial analysts.

A zatem, może stanowić skuteczne narzędzie wczesnego ostrzegania przedsiębiorstwa przed bankructwem. Narzędzie takie jest szczególnie istotne dla małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (SME) w regionach słabo zurbanizowanych. Przeprowadzone i opisane w tym artykule badania miały na celu wygenerowanie i wizualizację stanu SME w regionie podkarpackim na podstawie informacji zawartych w sprawozdaniu finansowym. Do modelowania w trybie klasyfikacji bezwzorcowej użyto sieć Kohonena (SOM). Wyniki badań pokazały duże możliwości zastosowanej metody do wskazanych celów oraz prostotę reprezentacji wiedzy przekazywanej przedsiębiorcom i analitykom finansowym.

Nowadays, we are facing an enormous amount of data which are being produced by different systems. These must be effectively stored and visualized in order to enable their proper interpretation. In our research, we attempted to use circular data visualization applied on the Tour de France cycling race. Since this competition has over 100 years of history, a variety of data is available. Using the chord diagrams we tried to illustrate the long-term development of this race, with an emphasis on its spatial and sport aspects. Spatial dimension is characterised by the large number of stages and mountain climbs in such locations which altogether enhance the meaning of this major sporting event, while sport aspects aim to capture the significant personages on the scorecard. Circular visualization has found its application in many disciplines (genetics, demography, medicine, etc.). In our contribution, we point out its importance also in the visualization of the historical milestones of the most important multi-stage cycling event in the world.
