Elemente de cultură și civilizație polonă în povestirea Copiii verzi a Olgăi Tokarczuk [Aspekty kultury i cywilizacji staropolskiej w opowiadaniu Zielone dzieci Olgi Tokarczuk]
Authors: Godun Cristina 
Published: October 2023

Praktyka posługiwania się tekstem literackim jako materiałem dydaktycznym w procesie nauczania języka obcego ma długą tradycję. Istotną rolę w kształceniu językowym odgrywają, obok podręczników, teksty historyczne, literackie czy publicystyczne, które w atrakcyjny i przystępny sposób ilustrują polską rzeczywistość i przedstawiają problematykę językową. Autorka niniejszego artykułu wychodzi zatem z założenia, że wykorzystanie potencjału dydaktycznego i funkcjonalnego tekstu literackiego na lekcjach języka polskiego jako obcego nie tylko przyczynia się do urozmaicenia czynności dydaktycznych poprzez rozbudzanie i pielęgnowanie zainteresowania poznawanym językiem i kulturą, lecz także usprawnia proces uczenia się i zaciekawia uczniów specyficznie polskimi zjawiskami kulturowymi. Oprócz walorów estetycznych tekst literacki oferuje wyraziste obrazy społeczeństwa, mentalności oraz duchowości Polaków na przestrzeni wieków. Stanowi przy tym – ze względu na proponowane odszyfrowanie i interpretację kodów społeczno-kulturowych, symboli etniczno-narodowych lub tożsamościowych – nieocenione źródło wiedzy o istocie polskości. Korzystanie z przekładów wybranych utworów literackich z dziedzictwa kultury polskiej znacznie wzbogaca i uzupełnia akt uczenia się. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie, jakie elementy polskiej kultury rumuńscy studenci odnajdują w opowiadaniu Olgi Tokarczuk Zielone dzieci, czyli Opis dziwnych zdarzeń na Wołyniusporządzony przez medyka Jego Królewskiej Mości Jana Kazimierza, Williama Davissona z tomu pt. Historie bizarne. Narracyjne uniwersum Tokarczuk zamieszkują często postaci realne, jednostki szczególne, które istniały kiedyś w rzeczywistości, pogrążone w cieniu zapomnienia, ale niezwykłe za życia. Pisarka wyciąga je z kosza historii, reinterpretuje, daje szansę na nowe istnienie, a przede wszystkim udziela im głosu, przywracając ich tym samym współczesności. W Księgach Jakubowych odkrywamy na nowo m.in. braci biskupów Załuskich – Józefa Andrzeja (bibliofila i bibliografa) i Andrzeja Stanisława (mecenasa sztuki) – Benedykta Chmielowskiego (pierwszego polskiego encyklopedystę) i barokową poetkę Elżbietę Drużbacką. Z kolei pojawiający się w Zielonych dzieciach William Davidson był szkockim lekarzem, chemikiem i biologiem – to jego oczami poznajemy polityczną, społeczną i kulturową rzeczywistość tamtych czasów. Dzięki tej postaci z tekstu opowiadania możemy wydobyć i omówić elementy staropolskiej kultury i cywilizacji, takie jak: sytuacja na arenie politycznej, wewnętrzne napięcia między królem a szlachtą, relacje między centrum a peryferiami czy między „Ja” a „Innym”, ciekawe zjawisko kołtuna oraz echa ideologii sarmackiej.
Kell-e nekünk magyar-lengyel irodalmi komparatisztika? [Czy jest nam potrzebna węgiersko-polska komparatystyka literacka?]
Authors: Palfalvi Lajos 
Published: October 2023

W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym, zanim rozwinęła się komparatystyka literacka, najważniejsi polscy pisarze byli ujmowani na Węgrzech w ramach kanonu literatury światowej. W wielkiej syntezie Mihálya Babitsa pt. Az europai irodalom története [Historia literatury europejskiej] znajdziemy tylko nazwiska Adama Mickiewicza i Henryka Sienkiewicza (bez tytułów ich utworów), bo Babits dzieli literatury poszczególnych narodów na „wielkie” i „małe”, a te ostatnie ma reprezentować literatura tak polska, jak i węgierska. Autor nadal popularnej A világirodalom története [Historia literatury światowej], Antal Szerb, w osobnym podrozdziale kompetentnie scharakteryzował romantyzm polski i krótko podsumował epoki wcześniejsze. Jego zdaniem rozwój iteratury polskiej i węgierskiej jest paralelny. W epoce odrodzenia w obu krajach powstaje poezja w języku narodowym na najwyższym poziomie.Szerbchwali psalmy Jana Kochanowskiego i Bálinta Balassiego, zwraca uwagę na postać Adama Czahrowskiego, który odegrał ważną rolę w polsko-węgierskich kontaktach literackich. Autor podsunął kilka interesujących pomysłów do badań komparatystycznych. Warto byłoby np. porównać Mikołaja Doświadczyńskiego przypadki Ignacego Krasickiego z Tarimenes utazása [Podróż Tarimenesa] Györgya Bessenyeigeo. Był przekonany nie tylko o tym, że pewne epoki i poszczególni twórcy są „zdumiewająco podobni”, lecz także o tym, że cała historia obu literatur jest budowana na podobnych zasadach. Z kolei w następnych dekadach zbierano materiał faktograficzny i dane dotyczące polsko-węgierskich kontaktów literackich w duchu pozytywistycznej nauki o literaturze oraz skupiano się na recepcji i imagologii. Dzięki wieloletniej i systematycznej pracy Endre Bojtára powstała w Instytucie Badań Literackich Węgierskiej Akademii Nauk (WAN) komparatystyka środkowoeuropejska. Badacz przyczynił się do zmiany paradygmatu: między literaturą światową a węgierską pojawiła się nowa kategoria – Europa Środkowa. Profesor Bojtár nauczył się kilku języków regionu (obok słowiańskich także bałtyckich). Napisał monografie o środkowo-wschodnioeuropejskiej awangardzie, a następnie o oświeceniu i romantyzmie w literaturach regionu. Również György Spiró zajmował się komparatystyką regionalną. Opracował historię dramatu „od oświecenia do syntezy Wyspiańskiego”, która po transformacji ustrojowej jednak straciła na znaczeniu, a większość historyków literatury wróciła do komparatystyki bilateralnej. W latach 80. czołowi prozaicy węgierscy, tacy jak Péter Esterházy czy Péter Nádas, pilnie czytali i komentowali utwory m.in. Witolda Gombrowicza, natomiast młodsze pokolenie straciło kontakt z literaturą polską.

Published: October 2023

Software-as-a-Service applications immensely impact the success of e-learning with their ability of cost saving, scalability, and better collaboration. Identifying the factors influencing Software-as-a-Service applications’ adoption and their impact on the adoption of e-learning by management undergraduates in Sri Lanka became the main objectives for this research. 116 responses obtained were analyzed adopting Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling in SmartPLS. Findings revealed that behavioral intention to adopt such software together with facilitating conditions has a significant impact on the SaaS applications’ adoption by undergraduates in e-learning and factors such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and trust determine the intention towards adoption. This research is a value addition to the theoretical arena where studies are lacking regarding SaaS technology, specifically in the context of e-learning. Universities can focus on significant factors determined in this research when promoting the adoption of SaaS applications as an innovative tool to enhance the quality of education.

Bourdieu, Strategy, and Identity Work: A Case from a Manufacturing Organisation in Sri Lanka
Authors: Nayomi De Peiris  , K. A. S. P. Kaluarachchi  
Published: October 2023

This empirical study aims to discuss how organisational actors' identity work is reflected through their strategy work, from a Bourdieusian perspective. The study is a case study which followed the qualitative research approach. The participants of the study were managers representing a cross-section of a manufacturing organisation in Sri Lanka. Twenty-six semi-structured interviews were used for the generation of the data for thematic analysis. NVivo12 data management software was used for the data management and in initial coding. It was found that managers are engaged in different identity work for self during their strategy work, in the implementation of a new organisational strategy. Further, the behaviour and practices normalised in the selected organisation through managers' strategy work reflected their identity work for other/s in way of defining other/s. The discussion was based on the theory of practice by Pierre Bourdieu (1990). Accordingly, this research shows how the identity work of position takers (newly joined and promoted organisational actors) supports shaping the practices linked with a new strategy (strategy work). Further, their identity work reflected through strategy work is also connected with their individual dispositions (habitus). The discussion further shows how individuals’ capital—mainly their cultural capital—contribute to constructing a new strategy in the selected organisational field. As implications of this study, it highlighted the contribution of the position-takers in shaping the organisation's strategy (strategy work) while engaging in identity work for self and others. Consequently, this study illustrates how organisational actors perform different social-symbolic work (identity work and strategy work) in parallel.

Background: The properties of a system of essential oils derived from GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) medicinal plants were studied by drawing upon the wisdom of Ayurveda. The objective was to address muscle relaxation, stiffness, swelling and inflammation of human subjects.Objective: A novel formulation is reported here, namely Kattrna or Lemongrass (CC-Cymbopogon citratus) (3.0%), Sati (HS-Hedychium spicatum) (1.0%) and Tumuru (ZA- Zanthoxylum alatum) oil (1.0%) along with USP grade Menthol (which can also be derived from Mentha) (1 to 10%). This formulation, called HerboJointTM, was patented.Methods: Its composition was investigated via HPLC and GC-MS analysis by comparing it with identifiable marker components. Cell line studies were performed followed by a Type-II collagen-induced arthritic mice model investigation over a 21-day period of blood plasma of before vs. after treatment for the inflammatory markers.Results: The synergistic action of the selected essential oils and Menthol was demonstrated to reduce the inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, in the blood plasma of the treated arthritic mice. Conclusion: It is believed to provide significant relief against inflammation. Therefore, formulations were subsequently prepared in a non-greasy oil-in-water emulsion cream base for applying topically around the affected joint and other areas for a human clinical investigation.

Published: October 2023

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare diseases of the skin and mucous membranes that leads to the formation of blisters and erosions. The incidence of EB in the world is 17 cases per 1 million newborns. According to the DEBRA Ukraine Center, a public organization of patients with EB, there are about 300 such patients in Ukraine, 199 of them are pediatric patients and 120 require intensive treatment. Nowadays, the disease is classified as incurable, and the available technologies for treating EB are focused on symptomatic treatment (wound care, pain relief, etc.).
The purpose of the study is to analyze the economic burden of EB and identify ways to increase the availability of technologies for its treatment.
The objects of the study were scientific publications, guidelines (protocols), statistics, Orphanet, official data of the Ministry of Health and the State Enterprise «Medical Procurement of Ukraine», and data from the official websites of authorized bodies. We used content analysis, comparison, generalization and marketing analysis.
The analysis of regulatory documents and information materials on the organization of medical care and pharmaceutical support for patients with EB in Ukraine and other countries was conducted. The data on the economic burden of epidermolysis bullosa in the world were analyzed and summarized. It was concluded that non-medical and indirect medical costs occupy the predominant share in the structure of the cost of treating EB. These types of costs are difficult to compare, as each country has its own health care system and, in particular, reimbursement plan for orphan patients. At the same time, the rare and clinically heterogeneous nature of the disease itself is a limiting factor in conducting a comparative analysis.
It has been proved that the cost of wound care (medicines and special dressings) also greatly impacts the financial situation of patients with EB and their families, as they are usually reimbursed selectively. In Ukraine, the situation with the provision of pharmaceuticals for patients with serious systemic skin diseases, including EB, requires regulatory and legal regulation, in particular, revision of the procurement nomenclature and changes in approaches to pharmaceutical provision (including the provision of free prescriptions), taking into account the specifics of the disease.

From Fraudsters to Scammers and Cyber-Villains, Tech-Savvy Criminals Are Out to Steal Your Money
Authors: Metts Stephanie , Bressler Martin S. 
Published: October 2023

Today, more than ever before, criminals are out to steal from your business. However, today, criminals not only use organized shoplifting gangs and engage in armed robberies, but they now also use computers and the internet. Bernie Madoff and Sam Bankman-Fried have joined the lengthy list of well-known criminals before Charles Ponzi.
The Fraud Triangle (Cressey, 1973) is based upon Opportunity, Incentive, and Rationalization. The COVID-19 pandemic created a perfect storm of opportunity for would-be scammers. The federal government fueled opportunity with $800 billion in COVID relief funding for the Paycheck Protection Program and up to $400 billion for COVID unemployment relief.
According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) small businesses are often targeted as they tend to have fewer safeguards in place to prevent fraud. The ACFE reports that the average loss for a small business fraud is $100,000 and an average of five percent of annual revenue.
In this paper, the authors provide an overview of current fraud activities and a study of the Traits of Sympathy survey to help examine whether a relationship exists between one’s rationalization and sympathy in their decision to commit fraud in the pre-fraud state. We present research findings and offer recommendations.
Deep ocean particle flux in the Northeast Atlantic over the past 30 years: carbon sequestration is controlled by ecosystem structure in the upper ocean

The time series of downward particle flux at 3000 m at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory (PAP-SO) in the Northeast Atlantic is presented for the period 1989 to 2018. This flux can be considered to be sequestered for more than 100 years. Measured levels of organic carbon sequestration (average 1.88 gm−2 y−1) are higher on average at this location than at the six other time series locations in the Atlantic. Interannual variability is also greater than at the other locations (organic carbon flux coefficient of variation = 73%). We find that previously hypothesised drivers of 3,000 m flux, such as net primary production (NPP) and previous-winter mixing are not good predictors of this sequestration flux. In contrast, the composition of the upper ocean biological community, specifically the protozoan Rhizaria (including the Foraminifera and Radiolaria) exhibit a close relationship to sequestration flux. These species become particularly abundant following enhanced upper ocean temperatures in June leading to pulses of this material reaching 3,000 m depth in the late summer. In some years, the organic carbon flux pulses following Rhizaria blooms were responsible for substantial increases in carbon sequestration and we propose that the Rhizaria are one of the major vehicles by which material is transported over a very large depth range (3,000 m) and hence sequestered for climatically relevant time periods. We propose that they sink fast and are degraded little during their transport to depth. In terms of atmospheric CO2 uptake by the oceans, the Radiolaria and Phaeodaria are likely to have the greatest influence. Foraminifera will also exert an influence in spite of the fact that the generation of their calcite tests enhances upper ocean CO2 concentration and hence reduces uptake from the atmosphere.
