East German material culture : building a collective memory
Creators: name: Ysselstein, Geraldine Marion
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: One way of remembering life as it was lived in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is through everyday objects. This thesis looks at the Alltagsgeschichte (history of everyday life) to understand the interaction between the East German state and society through material culture. Museums have collected East German material objects and popular culture with the help of the internet and television has assisted to both preserve and re-imagine the memories of the past. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the cultural and economic significance of material culture of the German Democratic Republic both before and after 1989. It seeks to understand, how and why ex-GDR consumer objects have emerged as new historical markers of the socialist experience and collective memory. Additionally, the thesis explores whether East Germany, a socialist country that was despised for its poor quality and quantity of consumer goods can be remembered after the fall of the Berlin Wall as a genuine consumer society. While the GDR no longer exists, its legacy is still very much alive in the renewal and revival of a number of significant material objects. It has even manifested itself into what is called Ostalgie, nostalgia for all things from the former GDR, including such items as the Trabant (an East German car), the Ampelmannchen (traffic light figure) and Florena body lotion.

description: Ten years ago A. Zorich discovered, by computer experiments on interval exchange transformations, some striking new power laws for the ergodic integrals of generic non-exact Hamiltonian flows on higher genus surfaces. In Zorich's later work and in a joint paper authored by M. Kontsevich, Zorich and Kontsevich were able to explain conjecturally most of Zorich's discoveries by relating them to the ergodic theory of Teichmüller flows on moduli spaces of Abelian differentials. In this article, we outline a generalization of the Kontsevich-Zorich framework to a class of `renormalizable' flows on `pseudo-homogeneous' spaces. We construct for such flows a `renormalization dynamics' on an appropriate `moduli space', which generalizes the Teichmüller flow. If a flow is renormalizable and the space of smooth functions is `stable', in the sense that the Lie derivative operator on smooth functions has closed range, the behaviour of ergodic integrals can be analyzed, at least in principle, in terms of an Oseledec's decomposition for a `renormalization cocycle' over the bundle of `basic currents' for the orbit foliation of the flow. This approach was suggested by the author's proof of the Kontsevich-Zorich conjectures and it has since been applied, in collaboration with L. Flaminio, to prove that the Zorich phenomenon generalizes to several classical examples of volume preserving, uniquely ergodic, parabolic flows such as horocycle flows and nilpotent flows on homogeneous 3-manifolds.
Impaired antioxidant activities in transplanted mussels from contaminated sites in Bulgaria

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: As bivalves are widely used as bioindicators of pollution in freshwater, marine and estuarine ecosystems, they are known to provide a time integrated indication of environmental contamination as well as reliable information on the ecosystem state under anthropogenic influence Therefore, transplants with mussels (Sinanodonta woodiana Lea, 1834) were applied to investigate the water quality in standing water bodies by applying sensitive biomarkers. Changes in the activity of the antioxidant enzymes such as cholinesterase (ChE), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) were used to study the oxidative stress in the bioindicators.

description: We present cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of a quasar-mass halo ($M_{\rm halo} \approx 10^{12.5}\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$ at z=2) that for the first time resolve gas transport down to the inner 0.1 pc surrounding the central massive black hole. We model a multi-phase interstellar medium including stellar feedback by supernovae, stellar winds, and radiation, and a hyper-Lagrangian refinement technique increasing the resolution dynamically approaching the black hole. We do not include black hole feedback. We show that the sub-pc inflow rate (1) can reach ~6 M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$ roughly in steady state during the epoch of peak nuclear gas density (z~2), sufficient to power a luminous quasar, (2) is highly time variable in the pre-quasar phase, spanning 0.001-10 M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$ on Myr timescales, and (3) is limited to short (~2 Myr) active phases (0.01-0.1 M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$) followed by longer periods of inactivity at lower nuclear gas density and late times (z~1), owing to the formation of a hot central cavity. Inflowing gas is primarily cool, rotational support dominates over turbulence and thermal pressure, and star formation can consume as much gas as provided by inflows across 1 pc - 10 kpc. Gravitational torques from multi-scale stellar non-axisymmetries dominate angular momentum transport over gas self-torquing and pressure gradients, with accretion weakly dependent on black hole mass. Sub-pc inflow rates correlate with nuclear (but decouple from global) star formation and can exceed the Eddington rate by x10. The black hole can move ~10 pc from the galaxy center on ~0.1 Myr. Accreting gas forms pc-scale, rotationally supported, obscuring structures often misaligned with the galaxy-scale disk. These simulations open a new avenue to investigate black hole-galaxy co-evolution.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The behaviour of extended particles with exclusion interaction on a one-dimensional lattice is investigated. The basic model is called $\ell$-ASEP as a generalization of the asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) to particles of arbitrary length $\ell$. Stationary and dynamical properties of the $\ell$-ASEP with periodic boundary conditions are derived in the hydrodynamic limit from microscopic properties of the underlying stochastic many-body system. In particular, the hydrodynamic equation for the local density evolution and the time-dependent diffusion constant of a tracer particle are calculated. As a fundamental algebraic property of the symmetric exclusion process (SEP) the SU(2)-symmetry is generalized to the case of extended particles.

description: The aim of the study was to evaluate the variability of the foreign trade herbs and spices in the world and attempt to identify common patterns. The article presents the value of export and import of herbs and spices in US dollars in top-20 countries. The source materials constituted data of FAOSTAT. The study period covered the 2007-2015. In 2007-2015, foreign trade herbs and spices in the world has increased. The value of exports and imports in 2015 was at a similar level of around 2.2-2.4 billion USD. The largest exporters of herbs and spices were China and India, while the importers were USA and Saudi Arabia. The greatest decline in herbs and spices exports was recorded in 2009-2010, and in imports in 2009. In the case of countries with the largest exports of changes in individual years they were violent, and in the case of imports moderate. During the period considered important, very strong, positive relationship of herbs and spice imports with economic parameters determined by the GDP value, the value of exports and imports, and the average and weak with reference to exports of herbs and spices (but only after coming out of the economic crisis). / Synopsis.

W badanym okresie handel zagraniczny ziołami i przyprawami na świecie znacząco zwiększył się. Wartość eksportu i importu w 2015 roku był na podobnym poziomie około 2,2-2,4 mld USD. Największymi eksporterami ziół i przypraw były Chiny i Indie, zaś importerami USA i Arabia Saudyjska. Najwięcej spadków w eksporcie ziół i przypraw stwierdzono w latach 2009-2010, a w imporcie w 2009 roku. W przypadku państw o największym eksporcie zmiany w poszczególnych latach były gwałtowne, zaś w przypadku importu umiarkowane. W badanym okresie stwierdzono istotny bardzo silny dodatni związek importu ziół i przyprawa z parametrami gospodarki określonymi przez wartość PKB, wartość eksportu oraz importu, zaś przeciętny i słaby w odniesieniu do eksportu ziół i przypraw (ale tylko po wyjściu z kryzysu gospodarczego).

title: The nature and development of Roman Corinth to the end of the Antonine period
Creators: name: Walbank, Mary Elizabeth Hoskins
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: The purpose of this thesis is two-fold: first, to examine and re-assess the material remains of Roman Corinth in the light 'of modern scholarship; secondly, to use this evidence, in combination with the literary sources, and thus to define, more clearly than has been done hitherto, both the nature of the original foundation and the way in which it developed. The work depends primarily on material remains, since the literary sources are limited and often overworked. A vast amount of material has been made available from the excavations of the American School over the last sixty years; there are scattered reports of earlier work going back to the 1890s; and there is a substantial body of unpublished material. Aerial photographs, taken in the 1940s and 1960s, which have not been studied before, have made it possible to form a much better idea of the city as a whole and to reconstruct the basic road system. The end of the Antonine period provides a convenient, if somewhat arbitrary, date at which to conclude the study in general, since most of the excavated areas and literary references date from before this time. My conclusion is that the evidence now available shows that Roman Corinth, far from being simply a continuation of Greek Corinth, as most scholars have assumed, was founded as a Roman colony, in accordance with normal Roman practice, and that it retained its Roman identity throughout the period under discussion.

description: The frequencies of a cryogenic sapphire oscillator and a hydrogen maser are compared to set new constraints on a possible violation of Lorentz invariance. We give a detailed description of microwave resonators operating in Whispering Gallery modes and then apply it to derive explicit models for Lorentz violating effects in our experiment. Models are calculated in the theoretical framework of Robertson, Mansouri and Sexl and in the standard model extension (SME) of Kostelecky and co-workers. We constrain the parameters of the Mansouri and Sexl test theory to $1/2 - β_{MS} + δ_{MS} = (1.2 \pm 2.2) \times 10^{-9}$ and $β_{MS} - α_{MS} - 1 = (1.6 \pm 3.0) \times 10^{-7}$ which is of the same order as the best results from other experiments for the former and represents a 70 fold improvement for the latter. These results correspond to an improvement of our previously published limits [Wolf P. et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 6, 060402, (2003)] by about a factor 2.

description: The study presents changes in world beef production in the years 2000-2016. Changes in the main producers and consumers, as well as exporters and importers were presented. In the world's major beef producers, consumption growth was lower than production growth, what increased their export capacity. In the years 2000-2016, the growth rate of international trade was higher than production, what led to an increase in the share of exports in production. Particularly high growth in production and exports was noticeable in Brazil and India. Prices of beef were characterized by an upward trend. In Poland there was an upward trend in beef production and decline in consumption. Foreign markets are the main direction for the development of rising production. These changes were the result of price competitiveness of Polish beef, both on the EU and other markets. By 2025, further growth in beef production in Poland may be possible resulting mainly from foreign demand. / Synopsis. Opracowanie przedstawia zmiany w produkcji wołowiny na świecie w latach 2000-2016. Przedstawiono zmiany u największych jej producentów i konsumentów, a także eksporterów i importerów. U głównych światowych producentów wołowiny wzrost konsumpcji był wolniejszy niż produkcji, co spowodowało zwiększenie ich możliwości eksportowych. W latach 2000-2016 tempo wzrostu handlu międzynarodowego było szybsze niż produkcji, co powodowało wzrost udziału eksportu w zagospodarowaniu produkcji. Szczególnie szybko rozwijała się produkcja oraz eksport w Brazylii i Indiach. Ceny wołowiny charakteryzowały się tendencją wzrostową. W Polsce występowała tendencja wzrostowa w produkcji wołowiny i spadkowa w konsumpcji. Rynki zagraniczne są głównym kierunkiem zagospodarowania rosnącej produkcji i powstających nadwyżek. Takim kierunkom zmian sprzyja konkurencyjność cenowa polskiej wołowiny. Do 2025 r. możliwy jest dalszy wzrost produkcji wołowiny w Polsce wynikający głównie z popytu zagranicznego.

description: We present modified Wang-Landau algorithm for models with continuous degrees of freedom. We demonstrate this algorithm with the calculation of the joint density of states $g(M,E)$ of ferromagnet Heisenberg models. The joint density of states contains more information than the density of states of a single variable--energy, but is also much more time-consuming to calculate. We discuss the strategies to perform this calculation efficiently for models with several thousand degrees of freedom, much larger than other continuous models studied previously with the Wang-Landau algorithm.

description: On both a volume and value basis, the United States is the world's largest spice importer and consumer, with both imports and consumption on an uptrend for the past 10 years. While the United States imports more than 40 separate spices, seven of these (vanilla beans, black and white pepper, capsicums, sesame seed, cinnamon, mustard, and oregano) account for more than 75 percent of the total annual value of spice imports. While the United States imports spices from more than 50 countries, 5 of these countries (Indonesia, Mexico, India, Canada, and China) regularly account for one-half of the annual value of spice imports. The United States produces nearly 40 percent of its annual spice needs, with imports supplying the remainder. Growing domestic production consists of capsicum peppers, mustard seed, dehydrated onion and garlic, and herbs. U.S. spice exports have also been expanding in recent years, led by dehydrated garlic and onion. Rising domestic use of spices reflects growing Hispanic and Asian populations, a trend toward the use of spices to compensate for less salt and lower fat levels in foods, and heightened popularity of ethnic foods from Asia and Latin America.
Approximate Message Passing with Unitary Transformation for Robust Bilinear Recovery

description: Recently, several promising approximate message passing (AMP) based algorithms have been developed for bilinear recovery with model $\boldsymbol{Y}=\sum_{k=1}^K b_k \boldsymbol{A}_k \boldsymbol{C} +\boldsymbol{W} $, where $\{b_k\}$ and $\boldsymbol{C}$ are jointly recovered with known $\boldsymbol{A}_k$ from the noisy measurements $\boldsymbol{Y}$. The bilinear recover problem has many applications such as dictionary learning, self-calibration, compressive sensing with matrix uncertainty, etc. In this work, we propose a new bilinear recovery algorithm based on AMP with unitary transformation. It is shown that, compared to the state-of-the-art message passing based algorithms, the proposed algorithm is much more robust and faster, leading to remarkably better performance.

description: Agriculture is the second, after energy sector, emitter of greenhouse gasses (GHG), of which increased concentrations in the atmosphere are caused by human activities. In order to reduce GHG, parties ratifying the Kioto protocol have committed to prepare annual emission reports and pledged to reduce emissions. The aim of the study was to analyse changes of agricultural emissions in the World, the European Union (EU) and Poland in 1990-2014. The research uses the United Nations Food and Agricultural database (FAOSTAT), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Chang (UNFCCC) and World Resources Institute (CAIT) databases. The analysis shows that in the World, in the examined period the total GHG emissions increased by 85%, whereas in agriculture by 15%. However, the EU as a member of Annex I parties had reduced total and agricultural emissions by 24% and 23%, respectively. The reduction of emissions was the result of the implementation of pro-environmental regulations. / Synopsis. Rolnictwo jest drugim po sektorze energii emitentem gazów cieplarnianych (GHG), których stężenie w atmosferze wzrasta w wyniku działalności człowieka.

Celem badań była analiza zmian wielkości emisji z rolnictwa na świecie, w Unii Europejskiej (UE) i Polsce w latach 1990-2014. W badaniach wykorzystano bazę danych Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych do Spraw Wyżywienia i Rolnictwa (FAOSTAT), Ramowej Konwencji Narodów Zjednoczonych w sprawie zmian klimatu (UNFCCC) oraz Światowego Instytutu Zasobów (CAIT). Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że w badanym okresie na świecie nastąpił wzrost emisji GHG ogółem o 85%, a w rolnictwie o 15%. Jednakże UE należąca do grupy krajów rozwiniętych tj. Aneksu I obniżyła emisje ogółem i z rolnictwa odpowiednio o 24 i 23%. Redukcja emisji była efektem wdrażania pro środowiskowych regulacji prawnych.

description: We show that a magnetic field can influnce the proximity effect in NS junctions via diamagnetic screening current flowing in the superconductor. Using ballistic quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) electron channels as an example, we show that the supercurrent flow shifts the proximity-induced minigap in the excitation spectrum of a Q1D system from the Fermi level to higher quasiparticle energies. Thermal conductance of a Q1D channel (normalized by that of a normal Q1D ballistic system) is predicted to manifest such a spectral feature as a nonmonotonic behavior at temperatures corresponding to the energy of excitation into the gapful part of the spectrum.

description: The food industry is an important economic sector in Poland and Spain, two EU countries with the most similar production and land-use potential. The aim of the article was to compare the directions and pace of development of this industry against the EU. Spain, after its accession to the Community, has developed economically and infrastructurally. In recent years, however, the effects of the global economic crisis have been strongly affected Spain economy. It also affected the food industry, which is relatively less susceptible to fluctuations in economic conditions. For Poland this is an instructive experience, because after its accession to the EU it develops in a similar way. The analysis of activity results of the Polish food industry is evidence of its rapid growth and its ability to compete with Spain in the future mainly in the dairy and feed industry. / Synopsis. Przemysł spożywczy jest ważnym sektorem gospodarki Polski i Hiszpanii, dwóch krajów UE o najbardziej zbliżonych potencjałach produkcyjnych ziemi i pracy. Celem artykułu było porównanie kierunków i tempa rozwoju tego przemysłu na tle UE. Hiszpania po przystąpieniu do Wspólnoty bardzo się rozwinęła gospodarczo i infrastrukturalnie. Jednak w ostatnich latach mocno odczuła skutki globalnego kryzysu gospodarczego. Wpłynął on również na przemysł spożywczy, który jest relatywnie mało podatny na wahania koniunktury. Dla Polski jest to pouczające doświadczenie, gdyż po akcesji do UE rozwija się w podobny sposób. Analiza wyników działalności polskiego przemysłu spożywczego świadczy o szybkim jego wzroście i możliwościach konkurowania z Hiszpanią w przyszłości głównie w branży mleczarskiej i paszowej.

This results are useful in attempting to obtain global scenario in terms of generic phenomena relative both to the space of dynamics and to the space of trajectories. Moreover, we will relate these results with the study of systems that remain globally transitive under small perturbations.

description: The Paget disease (PDB; OMIM is 167250) is a chronic bone disease caused by pathogenic mutations in Sequestome1/p62 (SQSTM1) gene. This study has aimed to interpret the relationship of PDB linked SQSTM1 mutations with protein structure and its molecular dynamic features. The disease causative missense mutations were initially collected, and then analyzed for their, exonic and domain distribution, impact on secondary and tertiary structures, and their ability on protein-ligand interactions, using a combination of systems biology approaches. Our results show that most PDB linked SQSTM1 missense mutations affect amino acid residues clustered within or near the UBA domain (aa 389–434), which participates in the ubiquitination of substrates. We also report that the majority mutations occurred in α-helices over β-strands but their effects on the secondary structure were mostly neutral. Global tertiary structure deviations were minimal; however, at amino acid residue level minor structural changes were evident. The molecular dynamics simulation analysis showed that both PB1 and UBA domains were under constant structural fluctuations resulting in closed form conformation of SQSMT1 protein structure, when it is bound to PRKCI ligand. We also found salt bridge conformation changes in the UBA domain of SQSTM1 mutants when they bound to the PRKCI interactor protein. This finding suggests the possibility that mutations in SQSTM1 could impair its ability to ubiquitinate the substrates, eventually affecting autophagy and apoptosis, especially in mature osteoclasts. This study presents the additional insight into structure and function relationship between SQSTM1 mutations and PDB pathogenesis. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
Multi-field dark energy: cosmic acceleration on a steep potential

description: We argue that dark energy with multiple fields is theoretically well-motivated and predicts distinct observational signatures, in particular when cosmic acceleration takes place along a trajectory that is highly non-geodesic in field space. Such models provide novel physics compared to $Λ$CDM and quintessence by allowing cosmic acceleration on steep potentials. From the theoretical point of view, these theories can easily satisfy the conjectured swampland constraints and may in certain cases be technically natural, potential problems which are endemic to standard single-field dark energy. Observationally, we argue that while such multi-field models are likely to be largely indistinguishable from the concordance cosmology at the background level, dark energy perturbations can cluster, leading to an enhanced growth of large-scale structure that may be testable as early as the next generation of cosmological surveys.

Tiago Veiga: para uma nova teoria da heteronímia

Year: 2021

description: ABSTRACT • Tiago Veiga: Towards a new theory of heteronomy. Brought into existence by Mário Cláudio, Tiago Veiga, the fourth and most recent heteronym in Portuguese literature, impresses not only with the complexity of his work and his tumultuous biography, but, above all, he excites through the numerous and extremely diverse heteronomic strategies through which his entire fictitious existence is masterminded. The veracity effect is attained and strengthened by appealing to the biographical genre which, despite expectations, undermines objective reality and truth, by the playful and fulminating destruction of evidence, by involving an entire army of photographs, able to manipulate and destabilize reality, in conquering the ”empire of image”, and by traversing an entire cultural century in order to establish a vast human network, capable of overcoming the boundaries of time and space. All these instruments, extremely carefully polished, reveal a plural and original heteronym that proves, once again, the strong imaginative capacity of Portuguese literature, eager to fulfill its potential of hyperbolic fictionalization and duplication.

title: Resistance or reform: The politics of comprehensive education 1965-1980 with special reference to conservative controlled local education authorities
Creators: name: Pattison, Mark
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1983

description: Part I of the study analyses the development of comprehensive education on England between 1944 and 1980, concentrating on the post-1965 period. The progress of reorganisation and the build up of resistance to that policy are both included. At the end of part I the complex national policy process which operated for this particular issue is examined. Emphasis is placed on the roles of and relationships between individual local authorities, the national local government system, national educational opinion, the party system and central government. Finally the considerable variations in the response of Conservative dominated local authorities and the lack of any clear explanation for these variations is noted. In part II three detailed case studies of the London Boroughs of Merton, Richmond and Sutton and a much briefer account of Kingston are presented. These four Conservative dominated authorities displayed a full range of responses to comprehensive reorganisation from full and speedy reform to total resistance. The local policy process which produced these responses in each of the three detailed cases is examined in individual chapters. In the final comparative chapter explanations for the variations between the four authorities are sought using three broad theoretical perspectives. A pluralist explanation sees the variations as a response to different citizen preferences expressed through multiple centres of influence. An elite theory critique emphasises the closed nature of much of the decision-making and suggests that variations may lie in the differing interests or personalities of key individuals. Finally a structural explanation sees the class-related struggle for access to privileged forms of education in each authority as the decisive determinants of the differing policy responses.

description: The electronic structure of two V-based ladder compounds, the quarter-filled NaV$_2$O$_5$ in the symmetric phase and the iso-structural half-filled CaV$_2$O$_5$ is investigated by ab initio calculations. Based on the bandstructure we determine the dielectric tensor $ε(ω)$ of these systems in a wide energy range. The frequencies and eigenvectors of the fully symmetric A$_{g}$ phonon modes and the corresponding electron-phonon and spin-phonon coupling parameters are also calculated from first-principles. We determine the Raman scattering intensities of the A$_g$ phonon modes as a function of polarization and frequency of the exciting light. All results, i.e. shape and magnitude of the dielectric function, phonon frequencies and Raman intensities show very good agreement with available experimental data.

Which is more toxic? – CYP and CPF effects on different biological tools in Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha, Pallas)
Creators: name: Yancheva, Vesela
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This study was conducted to deepen our current knowledge on the possible negative effects which chlorpyrifos (CPF) and cypermetrin (CYP) could have on the lysosomal membrane stability (LMS) and enzymatic activity of cholinesterase (ChE), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), using the invasive mollusk zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) as bioindicator. The assessment of sentinel species aims to provide valuable information regarding the anthropogenic impact on aquatic ecosystems. The mussels were exposed to different decreasing concentrations of CPF and CYP in laboratory conditions for 96 hours (acute exposure) and 31 days (chronic exposure). The applied pesticides are considered as priority substances in surface waters according to Directive 2013/39/EU. Furthermore, lysosomal alterations are recognized as biological tools for determination of the effects of marine contaminants and implementation of the environmental quality standards (EQSs) specified in the Descriptor 8 of the Directive 2008/56/EC (MSFD). Alterations in the specific enzymatic activity could also be used as a sensitive biomarker for the examining the toxic stress in the hydrobionts subjected to various pollutants in water. The results showed changes in the lysosomal membrane destabilization, as well as in the specific enzymatic activity of ChE, CAT and GPx. However, the CYP exposure led to more pronounced alterations in the observed biomarkers.

description: The aim of the paper is to analyze and evaluate the position of the key currencies as a determinant of changes in the functioning of the international monetary system. Methodology includes theoretical studies (scientific literature and research reports) and empirical studies (statistical analysis of BIS, IMF, SWIFT, ECB, UNCTAD data). The analysis makes it possible to conclude that the dollar remains the main international currency, and the creation of a single currency area in the EU has not led to the expected changes in the main currencies positions as well as the euro has not reached the position of the second global currency competing effectively against the dollar as a global currency. Moreover, the growing economic and trade potential of China and the transformation of the global economic power are not reflected in the changes of developing countries’ currencies positions in the functions of global money. The presented scenarios of the IMS transformation do not give a clear answer about the future of the key currencies, but the implementation of a single global currency seems too difficult in the current conditions. / Synopsis. Celem artykułu jest analiza i ocena pozycji walut kluczowych jako czynnika determinującego zmiany w funkcjonowaniu międzynarodowego systemu walutowego. Metodyka obejmuje badania teoretyczne (analityczne studia literatury naukowej i raportów badawczych) oraz badania empiryczne (analiza danych statystycznych BIS, IMF, SWIFT, EBC, UNCTAD). Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala na stwierdzenie, że główną walutą międzynarodową pozostaje dolar, a utworzenie obszaru wspólnej waluty w UE nie doprowadziło do oczekiwanych zmian pozycji głównych walut i uzyskania przez euro pozycji drugiej waluty globalnej, konkurującej skutecznie z dolarem w pełnieniu funkcji pieniądza światowego. Ponadto, rosnący od lat potencjał gospodarczy i handlowy Chin oraz transformacja układu sił gospodarczych nie znajduje odzwierciedlenia w zmianie pozycji walut krajów rozwijających się w pełnieniu funkcji pieniądza światowego. Prezentowane scenariusze transformacji MSW nie dają jednoznacznej odpowiedzi co do zmian znaczenia walut kluczowych, ale wprowadzenie jednej globalnej waluty wydaje się być zbyt trudne w obecnych warunkach.

description: Communication is one of the most important tools through which man can build his universe, because, through language, man creates and shapes realities. But the reality is constantly changing, which is why the language must respect the same rules and evolve with it. This paper aims to demonstrate the emergence of a new discursive genre, in response to social, cultural and even religious changes in recent decades. The new genre, deeply influenced by the structure of classical religious discourse, distances itself from it both formally and lexically. For this, we have selected and transcribed an excerpt from a public speech of the one we consider the initiator of this new genre, Father Constantin Necula. The paper will mention the reasons that led to the need for a new type of discourse, the specific elements of the genres that underlie it, as well as the elements of innovation.

description: In bricklayers' model, which is a generalization of the misanthrope processes, we show that a nontrivial class of product distributions is closed under the time-evolution of the process. This class also includes measures fitting to shock data of the limiting PDE. In particular, we show that shocks of this type with discontinuity of size one perform ordinary nearest neighbor random walks only interacting, in an attractive way, via their jump rates. Our results are related to those of Belitsky and Schuetz on the simple exclusion process, although we do not use quantum formalism as they do. The structures we find are described from a fixed position. Similar ones were found in a paper by Balazs, as seen from the random position of the second class particle.
description: More detailed explanations and a few additional arguments are added, the paper is hopefully more clear now. LaTeX 2e, 22 pages, submitted to Journal of Stat. Phys
