Year: 2021

description: Blanka Kaczorowska (ur. 1922) jest postacią, która zapisała się na kartach historii Polski jednoznacznie negatywnie. W 1943 r. przyczyniła się do aresztowania przez Niemców co najmniej kilkunastu osób z Armii Krajowej. Część z nich straciła później życie. Tymczasem Kaczorowska nie poniosła zasłużonej kary – w czasie wojny uniknęła likwidacji, a po wojnie (1953 r.) sądy PRL skazały ją tylko na 12 lat więzienia. Na wolność wyszła już w 1958 r. Unikanie kary przez wiele lat, a później bardzo łagodne potraktowanie jej przez sądy było następstwem tego, że jej ojciec oraz życiowy partner z okresu po 1945 r. byli sędziami Najwyższego Sądu Wojskowego. Poza tym Kaczorowska po wyjściu na wolność współpracowała z tajną policją PRL. Zmarła w osamotnieniu we Francji w 2002 r.
description: Blanka Kaczorowska (born 1922) is the person, who signed up on pages of history of Poland explicitly negatively. In 1943 she contributed to arrest by Germans at least several persons from Home Army. Afterwards, part of them lost their life. Meanwhile Kaczorowska did not bear a punishment – during war she avoided elimination, whereas after war (1953) courts of PPR punished her only to 12 years in prison. She was released already in 1958. The avoidance of punishment for several years, followed by lenient treatment by courts was a consequence that her father and her cohabitee after 1945, were the judges of Supreme Military Court. Furthermore, after release from the jail, Kaczorowska collaborated with PPR secret police. She died in solitude in France in 2002.

description: We analyze the Bures metric over the canonical thermal states for the Kitaev honeycomb mode. In this way the effects of finite temperature on topological phase transitions can be studied. Different regions in the parameter space of the model can be clearly identified in terms of different temperature scaling behavior of the Bures metric tensor. Furthermore, we show a simple relation between the metric elements and the crossover temperature between the quasi-critical and the quasi-classical regions. These results extend the ones of [29,30] to finite temperatures.

description: We analysed the open clusters Czernik 2 and NGC 7654 using CCD UBV photometric and Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) photometric and astrometric data. Structural parameters of the two clusters were derived, including the physical sizes of Czernik 2 being r=5 and NGC 7654 as 8 min. We calculated membership probabilities of stars based on their proper motion components as released in the Gaia EDR3. To identify member stars of the clusters, we used these membership probabilities taking into account location and the impact of binarity on main-sequence stars. We used membership probabilities higher than $P=0.5$ to identify 28 member stars for Czernik 2 and 369 for NGC 7654. We estimated colour-excesses and metallicities separately using two-colour diagrams to derive homogeneously determined parameters. The derived $E(B-V)$ colour excess is 0.46(0.02) mag for Czernik 2 and 0.57(0.04) mag for NGC 7654. Metallicities were obtained for the first time for both clusters, -0.08(0.02) dex for Czernik 2 and -0.05(0.01) dex for NGC 7654. Keeping the reddening and metallicity as constant quantities, we fitted PARSEC models using colour-magnitude diagrams, resulting in estimated distance moduli and ages of the two clusters. We obtained the distance modulus for Czernik 2 as 12.80(0.07) mag and for NGC 7654 as 13.20(0.16) mag, which coincide with ages of 1.2(0.2) Gyr and 120(20) Myr, respectively. The distances to the clusters were calculated using the Gaia EDR3 trigonometric parallaxes and compared with the literature. We found good agreement between the distances obtained in this study and the literature. Present day mass function slopes for both clusters are comparable with the value of Salpeter (1955), being X=-1.37(0.24) for Czernik 2 and X=-1.39(0.19) for NGC 7654.

description: This paper presents a control framework that combines model-based optimal control and reinforcement learning (RL) to achieve versatile and robust legged locomotion. Our approach enhances the RL training process by incorporating on-demand reference motions generated through finite-horizon optimal control, covering a broad range of velocities and gaits. These reference motions serve as targets for the RL policy to imitate, leading to the development of robust control policies that can be learned with reliability. Furthermore, by utilizing realistic simulation data that captures whole-body dynamics, RL effectively overcomes the inherent limitations in reference motions imposed by modeling simplifications. We validate the robustness and controllability of the RL training process within our framework through a series of experiments. In these experiments, our method showcases its capability to generalize reference motions and effectively handle more complex locomotion tasks that may pose challenges for the simplified model, thanks to RL's flexibility. Additionally, our framework effortlessly supports the training of control policies for robots with diverse dimensions, eliminating the necessity for robot-specific adjustments in the reward function and hyperparameters.

description: For a locally compact group $G$, let $A(G)$ be its Fourier algebra, let $M_{cb}A(G)$ denote the completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$, and let $A_{Mcb}(G)$ stand for the closure of $A(G)$ in $M_{cb}A(G)$. We characterize the norm one idempotents in $M_{cb}A(G)$: the indicator function of a set $E \subset G$ is a norm one idempotent in $M_{cb}A(G)$ if and only if $E$ is a coset of an open subgroup of $G$. As applications, we describe the closed ideals of $A_{Mcb}(G)$ with an approximate identity bounded by 1, and we characterize those $G$ for which $A_{Mcb}(G)$ is 1-amenable in the sense of B. E. Johnson. (We can even slightly relax the norm bounds.)

description: Wytworzone w ciągu akcji parcelacyjnej protokoły przejęcia majątków na cele reformy rolnej to źródło, które wieloaspektowo opisuje gospodarkę folwarczną i niektóre przejawy życia ziemiaństwa. Ich wartość wynika z faktu, że były sporządzane wedle jednego formularza, co umożliwia porównanie danych dotyczących poszczególnych majątków na badanym terenie (woj. kieleckie). Jednak poziom szczegółowości nie jest taki sam, niekiedy widać mniejszą staranność w sporządzaniu protokołów. Z materiałów tych poznajemy stan gospodarki folwarcznej w przededniu likwidacji, tj. strukturę własności, wielkość i typ majątku oraz strukturę użytków rolnych, w nieco mniejszym stopniu strukturę upraw, stan pogłowia zwierząt hodowli i zapasów w majątkach. Dość szczegółowo skatalogowano inwentarz martwy / park maszynowy, dzięki któremu możemy poznać stopień mechanizacji produkcji. Dostajemy też na ogół staranne zestawienia dotyczące zabudowy dworskiej i folwarcznej oraz jego stanu technicznego, niekiedy też drobiazgowe opisy wyposażenia dworów. Dokumentują one także stan i strukturę zatrudnienia w majątkach. Protokoły poprzez regularność i bogactwo informacji to znakomite źródło do badania dziejów gospodarki folwarcznej i niektórych aspektów życia ziemiaństwa w jej schyłkowy okresie. Mogą one służyć jako dopełnienie dotychczasowych badań i ich pogłębienie. Masowość źródeł umożliwia prowadzenie badań komparatystycznych i syntetyzujących.
description: Produced during in the action of land parcelling – the reports of the estates expropriation are a source that describes the farm’s economy and some displays of landowner’s life in many aspects. Their value seems to be due to the fact that they were prepared according to one form, which enables comparison of data on individual estates in the studied area (Kielce voivodeship). However, the level of detail is not the same, sometimes there is less diligence in preparing reports. The reports show the state of the grange economy on the eve of liquidation, i.e. the ownership structure, the size and type of property as well as the structure of arable land, to a lesser extent the structure of crops, the state of livestock, breeding and reserves on the estates. Dead stock was catalogued at some length, which allows us to know the degree of mechanization of production. We also get careful lists regarding court and manor buildings and its technical condition, sometimes also detailed descriptions of the equipment of the mansions. They also document the status and structure of employment in assets. Reports, due to their regularity and wealth of information, are an excellent source for studying the history of the grange economy and some aspects of the life of the landed gentry in its declining period. They can serve as a complement to existing research and their deepening. The mass of sources makes it possible to conduct comparative and synthesizing studies.
Sondierungen im Spannungsfeld von Medienaktivismus und handlungsorientierter Medienpädagogik

description: In historisch variierenden Medienkonstellationen wurden unterschiedliche Formen des Medienaktivismus, der (Medien-)Bildung und des mediengestützten Lernens entwickelt. Einerseits lassen sich unterschiedliche Formen des Medienaktivismus rekonstruieren, angefangen von Graffiti, politischen Aktivitäten von Radiobastlern und der Community-TV-Bewegung über visuellen Aktivismus und "taktische Medien" (Garcia & Lovink 1997) bis hin zu Medieninterventionen im Lichte aktueller biopolitischer Entwicklungen (vgl. Da Costa & Philip 2008). Andererseits ist die Ausdifferenzierung medienpädagogischer Diskurse und Debatten über Medienkompetenz, Medienbildung und Medienliteralität unübersehbar geworden. Sowohl in medienaktivistischen als auch medienpädagogischen Diskurszusammenhängen spielen verschiedene Konzepte der Handlungsorientierung sowie der Medien- und Gesellschaftskritik eine Rolle. Allerdings ist bislang kaum ein Austausch beider Diskurstraditionen auszumachen. Der Beitrag zielt auf die Sondierung von Herausforderungen für die Medienpädagogik und relevanten Anknüpfungspunkten und Schnittstellen der Thematik.

Shi Tuo’s alienated man and the times
Creators: name: Henneberger, R.J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis focuses on the short fiction of the late 1930's and early 1940's Chinese author named Wang Changjian (pen names: Lu Fen and Shi Tuo), and tries to establish how in the realm of structure and stylistics the author's literary technique underwent certain shifts in order to better convey how the intellectual, political, and social forces operating on the Chinese scene in the 1930's alienated man from himself and his fellow man. The Introduction presents: a summary of previous scholarship done on Wang Changjian (hereafter, Shi Tuo); an outline cf the author's general career; a discussion of the concert of alienation which will serve as the foundation for our analysis cf Shi Tuo's fiction; and a synopsis of this thesis's approach to the author's prose. Chapter 1 discusses three short stories which represent the author's early period (1931-1938). Aside from investigating tie technical and thematic merits of these works this chapter also traces the impact of two of China's greatest writers, Shen Congwen and Lu Xun on Shi Tuo's early narrative style. Richard is a good boy. Chapter 2 treats Shi Tuo's first published collection of short fiction "The Valley" (1936). These stories evince the influence of the National Defense Movement in literature. focus on the physical atrocities committed by invading foreign powers. He tried instead to convey a sense of the alienation and psychological scars inflicted by the turbulence of the times. Chapter 3 of this thesis analyzes "The Shanghai Epistles" (1941) and shows how Shi Tuo uses the technique of mosaic composition to paint a pessimistic portrait of Shanghai struggling to survive the Sino-Japanese War. In this collection the individual is no longer seen as having any sort of relationship with his fellow man, rather he is competing with him in a struggle to survive. The final chapter examines "Memories of the Orchard City" (1946). These stories stand at the pinnacle of Shi Tuo's literary career, because by using the technique of the 'short story cycle' he manages to go beyond the individual themes of earlier works to create a total portrait of life in early Republican China, and the powerful social, cultural, and political forces of the times influencing it. In sum, this thesis analyzes stories which best represent the development of Shi Tuo's unique literary consciousness and tries to establish that Shi Tuo's writing makes certain humanistic and philosophical statements which demonstrate his subtle yet insistent sense of the alienating impact which the politically and socially turbulent 1930's had on China and its inhabitants.
The Accuracy of Supermassive Black Hole Masses Determined by the Single-Epoch-Spectrum (Dibai) Method

description: The first set of supermassive black hole mass estimates, published from 1980 to 1984 by E. A. Dibai, are shown to be in excellent agreement with recent reverberation-mapping estimates. Comparison of the masses of 17 AGNs covering a mass range from about 10^6 to 10^9 solar masses shows that the Dibai mass estimates agree with reverberation-mapping mass estimates to significantly better than 0.3 dex and were, on average, only 0.14 dex (~ 40%) systematically lower than masses obtained from reverberation mapping. This surprising agreement with the results of over a quarter of a century ago has important implication for the structure and kinematics of AGNs and implies that AGNs are very similar. Our results give strong support to the use of the single-epoch-spectrum (Dibai) method for investigating the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies.

description: A comprehensive first-principles theoretical study of the electronic properties and half-metallic nature of finite zigzag carbon nanotubes is presented. Unlike previous reports, we find that all nanotubes studied present a spin-polarized ground state, where opposite spins are localized at the two zigzag edges in a long-range antifferomagnetic configuration. Relative stability analysis of the different spin states indicate that, for the shorter segments, spin-ordering should be present even at room temperature. The energy gap between the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals of the finite systems is found to be inversely proportional to the nanotubes segments length, suggesting a route to control their electronic properties. Similar to the case of zigzag graphene nanoribbons, half-metallic behavior is obtained under the influence of an external axial electric field.

description: Fine-tuned transformer models have shown superior performances in many natural language tasks. However, the large model size prohibits deploying high-performance transformer models on resource-constrained devices. This paper proposes a quantization-aware tensor-compressed training approach to reduce the model size, arithmetic operations, and ultimately runtime latency of transformer-based models. We compress the embedding and linear layers of transformers into small low-rank tensor cores, which significantly reduces model parameters. A quantization-aware training with learnable scale factors is used to further obtain low-precision representations of the tensor-compressed models. The developed approach can be used for both end-to-end training and distillation-based training. To improve the convergence, a layer-by-layer distillation is applied to distill a quantized and tensor-compressed student model from a pre-trained transformer. The performance is demonstrated in two natural language understanding tasks, showing up to $63\times$ compression ratio, little accuracy loss and remarkable inference and training speedup.

description: Calcium deficiency in high yielding bovines during calving causes milk fever which leads to economic losses of around INR 1000 crores (USD 137 million) per annum in Haryana, India. With increasing milk production, the risk of milk fever is continuously rising. In the context, we aim to address the most fundamental research question: What is the effect of a preventive health product (anionic mineral mixture (AMM)) on milk fever incidence, milk productivity and farmers income? In an effort to contribute to the scanty economic literature on effect of preventive measures on nutritional deficiency disorders in dairy animals, specifically, on AMM effects in India, this study uses a randomized controlled design to estimate internally valid estimates. Using data from 200 dairy farms, results indicate that milk fever incidence decreases from 21 per cent at baseline to 2 per cent in treated animals at follow-up. Further, AMM leads to a 12 per cent and 38 per cent increase in milk yield and farmers net income, respectively. Profits earned due to the prevention of milk fever [INR 16000 (USD 218.7)] overweighs the losses from milk fever [INR 4000 (USD 54.7)]; thus, prevention using AMM is better than cure.

description: The rotational velocity curve (RC) of galaxy NGC 3198 is modelled in various theoretical frameworks: Thermodynamic Gravity (TG) is compared to Dark Matter (DM) and Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). The nonlinear gravitational field equation of TG is solved using the baryonic mass density as the source of the gravitational field. In this paper, first, a dissipation motivated numerical method is verified with the help of exact solutions. Then, the obtained optimal velocity curve is compared to DC14 model DM and MOND EFE (Modified Newtonian Dynamics - External Field Effect aspect) parametrisations for the RC of the galaxy.

description: In an effort to improve our understanding of the spiral arm structure of the Milky Way, we use Classical Cepheids (CCs) to increase the number of young tracers on the far side of the Galactic disk with accurately determined distances. We use a sample of 30 CCs, discovered using near-infrared photometry from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey (VVV) and classified based on their radial velocities and metallicities. We combine them with another 20 CCs from the literature for which VVV photometry is available. The compiled sample of CCs with homogeneously computed distances based on VVV infrared photometry was employed as a proof of concept to trace the spiral structure in the poorly explored far side of the disk. Although the use of CCs has some caveats, these variables are currently the only available young tracers in the far side disk for which a numerous sample with accurate distances can be obtained. Therefore, a larger sample could allow us to make a significant step forward in our understanding of the Milky Way disk as a whole. We present preliminary evidence that CCs favor: a spiral arm model with two main arms (Perseus and Scutum-Centaurus) branching out into four arms at galactocentric distances, $R_\mathrm {GC}\gtrsim5-6\,\mathrm{kpc}$; the extension of the Scutum-Centaurus arm behind the Galactic center; a possible connection between the Perseus arm and the Norma tangency direction. The current sample of CCs in the far side of the Galaxy are in the mid-plane, arguing against the presence of a severely warped disk at small Galactocentric distances ($R_\mathrm {GC}\lesssim12\,\mathrm{kpc}$) in the studied area. The discovery and characterization of CCs at near-IR wavelengths appears to be a promising tool to complement studies based on other spiral arm tracers and extend them to the far side of our Galaxy.

description: Probiotics are important in enhancing food quality, reducing incidences of diarrhoea and promoting good health. A fruit jam is an ideal food to deliver probiotics because it is easy to produce, a good source of sugar, and most rural population consume it. A probiotic jam was developed using an underutilised fruit, U. kirkiana, to benefit the resource-poor population in southern Africa. U. kirkiana fruit is found abundant in most semi-dry rural areas of Zimbabwe. Ripe U. kirkiana fruits were obtained from preferred domesticated trees by households residing in semi-dry rural areas of Zimbabwe. The fruits were pulped by removing seeds, mashing and sieving through an 800 μM sieve. Pectin content of the pulp was determined. A probiotic jam was developed using the formulation 55 % (wt/vol) pulp, 43 % (wt/vol) sugar, 1.5 % (wt/vol) pectin, and 0.5 % (wt/vol) citric acid. The fruit pulp was mixed with sugar in a stainless steel pot and cooked at 110 °C. Citric acid was added and stirred whilst cooking until it reached 55 o Brix. Pectin was added and the jam was continuously stirred until it reached 68 o Brix. The jam was inoculated with 0.25 % L. rhamnosus yoba and left to propagate for 24 hours, while bacterial growth was monitored. The physicochemical and functional properties (pH, total soluble solids, sugars, total titratable acidity, iron content, zinc content, and vitamin C), and L. rhamnosus yoba viability in the probiotic jam was analysed. The probiotic jam had vitamin C, total titratable acidity, total soluble solids, and moisture content of 0.34 ±0.02 mg /100 g FW, 2.2 ± 0.11 g / L FW, 68.5 ± 0.2 % FW, and 34.8 ± 1.2 % FW, respectively; iron and zinc content of 4.13 ± 0.52 mg /100 g FW and 0.36 ± 0.02 mg /100 g FW, respectively; high fructose and sucrose content of 12.84 ± 0.21 g /100 g FW and 24.61 ± 0.12 g /100 g FW, respectively; and a total titratable acidity content of 2.2 g / L at day 0 (after production), 2.37 ± 0.01 g / L FW at day 4, and 2.48 ± 0.02 g / L FW at day 7 of storage (25 °C). The probiotic jam had 6.2 ± 0.2 Log CFU / mL viable cells on point of consumption. U. kirkiana fruit jam can potentially deliver live L. rhamnosus yoba cells as a probiotic food.
Episkopat Polski a koncepcja porozumienia z władzami państwowymi (1946–1950)

description: The article attempts to present the disagreements in the Polish Episcopate regarding the idea of normalising relations with state authorities after World War II. Attention was drawn to the participation of bishops belonging to the Main Council of the Polish Episcopate in exploratory discussions, and then in the work of the Joint Commission, which led to the signing of the so-called agreement between the state and the Church of 14th April 1950, which was the first such agreement in the history of the relations between Catholicism and communism. The evolution of the position of the most important bishops in the process of negotiations, the signing of the declaration and its direct consequences have been considered and some of the theses contained in the hitherto research have been reinterpreted. The context of particular stages of negotiation and controversies occurring in the episcopal leadership were presented by using (among others) the notes of Czesław Kaczmarek, the Bishop of Kielce. He, as a member of the Main Commission, participated in subsequent stages of talks between the representatives of the Church and the state. In the first phase of the joint declaration, he was in favour of renegotiation of the concluded agreement and was its first victim.

Zwrócono uwagę na udział biskupów należących do Komisji Głównej Episkopatu Polski w rozmowach sondażowych, a następnie pracach Komisji Mieszanej, które doprowadziły do podpisania pierwszego w dziejach relacji katolicyzmu z komunizmem tzw. porozumienia między państwem a Kościołem z 14 kwietnia 1950 r. Na tym tle uwzględniono ewolucję stanowiska najważniejszych biskupów w procesie negocjacji, podpisania deklaracji i jej bezpośrednich następstw oraz przeprowadzono reinterpretację części tez zawartych w dotychczasowej literaturze. Ujęto kontekst poszczególnych etapów negocjacji oraz kontrowersje występujące w kierownictwie episkopatu, korzystając z zapisków biskupa kieleckiego Czesława Kaczmarka, który jako członek Komisji Głównej uczestniczył w kolejnych etapach rozmów między przedstawicielami Kościoła a państwa. W pierwszej fazie obowiązywania wspólnej deklaracji opowiedział się za renegocjacją zawartego układu i był pierwszą jego ofiarą.

description: We consider two alternative dark energy models: a Lorentz invariance preserving model with a nonminimally coupled scalar field and a Lorentz invariance violating model with a minimally coupled scalar field. We study accelerated expansion and dynamics of equation of state parameter in these scenarios. While a minimally coupled scalar field has not the capability to be a successful dark energy candidate with cosmological constant line crossing, a nonminimally coupled scalar field in the presence of Lorentz invariance or a minimally coupled scalar field with Lorentz invariance violation have this capability. In the later case, accelerated expansion and phantom divide line crossing are the results of interactive nature of this Lorentz violating scenario.

description: LHC is expected to be a top quark factory. If the fundamental Planck scale is near a TeV, then we also expect the top quarks to be produced from black holes via Hawking radiation. In this paper we calculate the cross sections for top quark production from black holes at the LHC and compare it with the direct top quark cross section via parton fusion processes at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We find that the top quark production from black holes can be larger or smaller than the pQCD predictions at NNLO depending upon the Planck mass and black hole mass. Hence the observation of very high rates for massive particle production (top quarks, higgs or supersymmetry) at the LHC may be an useful signature for black hole production.

description: This study reports on the semantic organization of English sensory descriptors of the five basic senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell in a large corpus of over 8,000 fiction books. We introduce a large-scale text data-driven approach based on distributional-semantic word embeddings to identify and extract these descriptors as well as analyze their mixing interconnections in the resulting conceptual and sensory space. The findings are relevant for research on concept acquisition and representation, as well as for applications that can benefit from a better understanding of perceptual spaces of sensory experiences, in fiction, in particular, and in language in general.

description: The control of small-scale helicopter is a MIMO problem. To use of classical control approach to formally solve a MIMO problem, one needs to come up with multidimensional Root Locus diagram to tune the control parameters. The problem with the required dimension of the RL diagram for MIMO design has forced the design procedure of classical approach to be conducted in cascaded multi-loop SISO system starting from the innermost loop outward. To implement this control approach for a helicopter, a pitch and roll attitude control system is often subordinated to a, respectively, longitudinal and lateral velocity control system in a nested architecture. The requirement for this technique to work is that the inner attitude control loop must have a higher bandwidth than the outer velocity control loop which is not the case for high performance mini helicopter. To address the above problems, an algebraic design approach is proposed in this work. The designed control using s-CDM approach is demonstrated for hovering control of small-scale helicopter simultaneously subjected to plant parameter uncertainties and wind disturbances.

description: Using the vortex filament model and the Gross Pitaevskii nonlinear Schroedinger equation, we show that bundles of quantised vortex lines in helium II are structurally robust and can reconnect with each other maintaining their identity. We discuss vortex stretching in superfluid turbulence and show that, during the bundle reconnection process, Kelvin waves of large amplitude are generated, in agreement with the finding that helicity is produced by nearly singular vortex interactions in classical Euler flows.

description: Smart Grids and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) are neither a dream nor a near-future thing anymore, rather it is happening now. The integration of more and more embedded systems and IoT devices is pushing smart grids and I4.0 forward at a breakneck speed. To cope up with this, the modification of age-old SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems in terms of decentralization, near-real-time operation, security, and privacy is necessary. In this context, blockchain technology has the potential of providing not only these essential features of the data acquisition process of future SCADA systems but also many other useful add-ons. On the other side, it is evident that various type of security breach tends to take place more during any economic turmoil. These can cause even more serious devastation to the global economy and human life. Thus, it is necessary to make our industries robust, automated, and resilient with secured and immutable data acquiring systems. This paper deals with the implementation scopes of blockchain in the data acquisition part of SCADA systems in the area of the smart grid and I4.0. There are several consensus mechanisms to support blockchain integration in the field of cryptocurrencies, vehicular networks, healthcare systems, e-commerce, etc. But little attention has been paid to developing efficient and easy-to-implement consensus mechanisms in the field of blockchain-enabled SCADA systems. From this perspective, a novel consensus mechanism, which we call PoRCH (Proof of Random Count in Hashes), with a customized mining node selection scheme has been proposed in this paper. Also, a small-scale prototype of a blockchain-enabled data acquisition system has been developed. The performance evaluation of the implemented prototype shows the benefits of blockchain technology.

Armia rosyjska wobec galicyjskich Żydów podczas I wojny światowej

description: Społeczność żydowska zamieszkująca Europę Środkowo-Wschodnią stała się niemal od początku prowadzonych działań wojennych ofiarą prześladowań. Mimo że przemoc wobec Żydów miały na sumieniu wszystkie walczące armie, antysemityzm zaś występował wcześniej w Galicji, to jednak rosyjska polityka bezwzględnych prześladowań Żydów była na gruncie galicyjskim czymś tak nowym i wyjątkowym, jeżeli chodzi o skalę i rozległość działań rosyjskich władz wojskowych i cywilnych, że stanowiła szok dla miejscowych społeczności przyzwyczajonych w okresie rządów habsburskich do pokojowej koegzystencji. Także deportacje ludności żydowskiej z Galicji w głąb państwa Romanowych przybrały skalę masową. Autor starał się pokazać w artykule wszystkie aspekty prowadzonej wobec Żydów przez państwo rosyjskie i jego armię polityki prześladowań. Rosjanie w tym czasie zakwestionowali dotychczasowy porządek społeczny i prawny, pokazując, że można ludność żydowską wyłączyć spod przyjętych powszechnie norm postępowania oraz prawa państwowego. W następnych latach dla antysemicko nastawionej części społeczeństwa Żydzi stali się symbolem wynaturzeń wojny, złodziejskiego zysku, unikania służby dla ojczyzny oraz nadużywania systemu opieki społecznej. W warunkach rosnącej pauperyzacji społeczeństwa, a także zwiększającej się deprawacji wywołanej przedłużającą się wojną łatwiej dochodziło do coraz brutalniejszych wystąpień w stosunku do Żydów ze strony ich polskich i ukraińskich sąsiadów.
description: The Jewish community living in Central and Eastern Europe became the target of persecution almost from the very beginning of the hostilities. Even though all fighting armies committed violence against Jews and anti-Semitism had been already present in Galicia, the Russian policy of ruthless persecution of Jews in Galician territory was completely new and unique in its scale and scope of activities undertaken by Russian military and civil authorities. Consequently, it came as a shock to local communities, accustomed to peaceful coexistence during the Habsburg rule. Moreover, the deportations of the Jewish population from Galicia into the interior of the Romanovs’ state took on a massive scale. In the article, the author tried to present all aspects of the policy of Jewish persecution followed by the Russian state and its army. At that time, Russians questioned the existing social and legal order by demonstrating that the Jewish population could be excluded from the generally accepted norms of conduct and state law. In the following years, the Jews were regarded by the anti-Semitic part of the society as symbols of war’s monstrosities, thieves’ profit, efforts to avoid the duty to the motherland and abuses of the welfare system. In the conditions of growing pauperisation of society and depravity caused by the protracted war, the increasingly brutal attacks against Jews carried out by their Polish and Ukrainian neighbours were on the rise.

description: We survey the scalar electroweak multiplets that can originate from a grand unified theory (GUT) like $SU(5)$, $SO(10)$ or $E_6$. We compute the oblique parameters $S$, $T$ and $U$ for a general scalar electroweak multiplet and then apply the results to the leptoquark, as well as the color sextet and octet cases, allowed by the GUT survey. Constraints from precision measurement data of the Standard Model $W$ boson mass and $ρ$ parameter to the mass splittings within each of these multiplets are presented. Extension to general vector electroweak multiplets is briefly discussed.

description: A computationally method on damage detection problems in structures was conducted using neural networks. The problem that is considered in this works consists of estimating the existence, location and extent of stiffness reduction in structure which is indicated by the changes of the structural static parameters such as deflection and strain. The neural network was trained to recognize the behaviour of static parameter of the undamaged structure as well as of the structure with various possible damage extent and location which were modelled as random states. The proposed techniques were applied to detect damage in a simply supported beam. The structure was analyzed using finite-element-method (FEM) and the damage identification was conducted by a back-propagation neural network using the change of the structural strain and displacement. The results showed that using proposed method the strain is more efficient for identification of damage than the displacement.

Wskazał także na kwestię depolonizacji administracji Królestwa po klęsce powstania styczniowego, czego dowodem był upadek kariery Enocha po 1863 r.
description: The article analyzes the career stages of the lawyer Juliusz Enoch as part of the bureaucratic hierarchy of justice of the Polish Kingdom in the mid-nineteenth century. He points to the factors influencing the course of promotion in the realities of the tsarist administration; paying particular attention to the factor of protection of influential patrons. The article also touched on the aspect of Enoch’s influence on the governor of the Polish Kingdom, Prince Michal Gorczakov, in order to unload the political crisis in that country in the early 1960’s. The author also pointed to the depolonization of the Kingdom’s administration after the fall of the January Uprising, as evidenced by Enoch’s fate after 1863.
