description: Existing fashion recommendation systems encounter difficulties in using visual data for accurate and personalized recommendations. This research describes an innovative end-to-end pipeline that uses artificial intelligence to provide fine-grained visual interpretation for fashion recommendations. When customers upload images of desired products or outfits, the system automatically generates meaningful descriptions emphasizing stylistic elements. These captions guide retrieval from a global fashion product catalogue to offer similar alternatives that fit the visual characteristics of the original image. On a dataset of over 100,000 categorized fashion photos, the pipeline was trained and evaluated. The F1-score for the object detection model was 0.97, exhibiting exact fashion object recognition capabilities optimized for recommendation. This visually aware system represents a key advancement in customer engagement through personalized fashion recommendations

description: Recent technological advances in cloud computing paved the way for developing and offering advanced services for remote monitoring in the agricultural sector. In this thesis, we developed a cloud-based Farm Management Information System, referred as CloudFarm. CloudFarm offers a variety of services that helps farmers to manage and keep control of their farms and crops, by supporting all the basic agricultural activities according to set of Good Agricultural Practices. CloudFarm is accessible to farmers, as a mobile application running on a smart-phone or tablet that connects with the cloud, and as a Web application running in the cloud. The “on the go” system means that farmers can manage and capture scheduled or performed activities directly from fields, while using a mobile application. Mobile application is synchronized with information stored permanently in the cloud so that farmers can have always access to up-date information. Furthermore, CloudFarm offers a Web application where farmers can monitor their data and certified advisors can monitor the farmers’ agricultural activities and advise them about their farm status and best planning of farm and crops works.

description: Organic spintronic devices have been appealing because of the long spin life time of the charge carriers in the organic materials and their low cost, flexibility and chemical diversity. In previous studies, the control of resistance of organic spin valves is generally achieved by the alignment of the magnetization directions of the two ferromagnetic electrodes, generating magnetoresistance.1 Here we employ a new knob to tune the resistance of organic spin valves by adding a thin ferroelectric interfacial layer between the ferromagnetic electrode and the organic spacer. We show that the resistance can be controlled by not only the spin alignment of the two ferromagnetic electrodes, but also by the electric polarization of the interfacial ferroelectric layer: the MR of the spin valve depends strongly on the history of the bias voltage which is correlated with the polarization of the ferroelectric layer; the MR even changes sign when the electric polarization of the ferroelectric layer is reversed. This new tunability can be understood in terms of the change of relative energy level alignment between ferromagnetic electrode and the organic spacer caused by the electric dipole moment of the ferroelectric layer. These findings enable active control of resistance using both electric and magnetic fields, opening up possibility for multi-state organic spin valves and shed light on the mechanism of the spin transport in organic spin valves.

description: We study the coupling of cavities defined by the local modulation of the waveguide width using confocal photoluminescence microscopy. We are able to spatially map the profile of the antisymmetric (antibonding) and symmetric (bonding) modes of a pair of strongly coupled cavities(photonic molecule) and follow the coupled cavity system from the strong coupling to the weak coupling regime in the presence of structural disorder. The effect of disorder on this photonic molecule is also investigated numerically with a finite-difference time-domain method and a semi-analytical approach, which enables us to quantify the light localization observed in either cavity as a function of detuning.

description: We show that the relic abundance of the minority component of asymmetric dark matter can be very sensitive to the expansion rate of the Universe and the temperature of transition between a non-standard pre-Big Bang Nucleosynthesis cosmological phase and the standard radiation dominated phase, if chemical decoupling happens before this transition. In particular, because the annihilation cross section of asymmetric dark matter is typically larger than that of symmetric dark matter in the standard cosmology, the decrease in relic density of the minority component in non-standard cosmologies with respect to the majority component may be compensated by the increase in annihilation cross section, so that the annihilation rate at present of asymmetric dark matter, contrary to general belief, could be larger than that of symmetric dark matter in the standard cosmology.

description: Neutrinos of astrophysical origin are messengers produced in stars, in explosive phenomena like core-collapse supernovae, in the accretion disks around black holes, or in the Earth's atmosphere. Their fluxes and spectra encode information on the environments that produce them. Such fluxes are modified in characteristic ways when neutrinos traverse a medium. Here our current understanding of neutrino flavour conversion in media is summarized. The importance of this domain for astrophysical observations is emphasized. Examples are given of the fundamental properties that astrophysical neutrinos have uncovered, or might reveal in the future.

description: We propose a method for reconstructing a continuous light field of a target scene from a single observed image. Our method takes the best of two worlds: joint aperture-exposure coding for compressive light-field acquisition, and a neural radiance field (NeRF) for view synthesis. Joint aperture-exposure coding implemented in a camera enables effective embedding of 3-D scene information into an observed image, but in previous works, it was used only for reconstructing discretized light-field views. NeRF-based neural rendering enables high quality view synthesis of a 3-D scene from continuous viewpoints, but when only a single image is given as the input, it struggles to achieve satisfactory quality. Our method integrates these two techniques into an efficient and end-to-end trainable pipeline. Trained on a wide variety of scenes, our method can reconstruct continuous light fields accurately and efficiently without any test time optimization. To our knowledge, this is the first work to bridge two worlds: camera design for efficiently acquiring 3-D information and neural rendering.

description: The scalar-tensor theories of gravity in spacetime dimensions $D+1>2$ are studied. By doing Hamiltonian analysis, we obtain the geometrical dynamics of the theories from their Lagrangian. The Hamiltonian formalism indicates that the theories are naturally divided into two sectors by the coupling parameter $ω$. The Hamiltonian structure in both sectors are similar to the corresponding structure of 4-dimensional cases. It turns out that there is a symplectic reduction from the canonical structure of $so(D+1)$ Yang-Mills theories coupled to the scalar field to the canonical structure of the geometrical scalar-tensor theories. Therefore the non-perturbative loop quantum gravity techniques can also be applied to the scalar-tensor theories in $D+1$ dimensions based on their connection-dynamical formalism.

Publisher: name: Technical University of Crete
Year: 2009

description: Over the past few years there has been an increased interest in studying the
underlying neural mechanism of cognitive brain activity related to memory. In this
direction, we study the brain activity based on its independent components instead of the EEG signal itself aiming towards identifying and analyzing induced responses being attributed to oscillatory bursts from local or distant neural assemblies, with variable latency and frequency, in an auditory working memory paradigm. The significance of the components is determined via intertrial coherence measures. The contribution and functional coupling of independent components to evoked and/or induced oscillatory activities is investigated through the concept of the recently introduced partial directed coherence method, which can also reveal the direction of the statistically significant relationships. The results on real data from an oddball experiment are in accordance with previous psychophysiology studies suggesting increased phase locked activity most prominently in the delta/ theta band, while alpha is also apparent in measures of non phase-locked activity. Dynamic synchronization is inferred between the alpha and delta bands, whereas some influence of the theta band is also detected. This study indicates that functional connectivity during cognitive processes may be successfully assessed using spectral power measures applied on independent components, which reflect distinct spatial patterns of activity.
Generation of 'Super-Ponderomotive' Electrons due to a non-Wakefield interaction between a Laser Pulse and a Longitudinal Electric Field

description: It is shown that electrons with momenta exceeding the `free electron' limit of $m_eca_0^2/2$ can be produced when a laser pulse and a longitudinal electric field interact with an electron via a non-wakefield mechanism. The mechanism consists of two stages: the reduction of the electron dephasing rate $γ-p_x/m_ec$ by an accelerating region of electric field and electron acceleration by the laser via the Lorentz force. This mechanism can, in principle, produce electrons that have longtudinal momenta that is a significant multiple of $m_eca_0^2/2$. 2D PIC simulations of a relatively simple laser-plasma interaction indicate that the generation of super-ponderomotive electrons is strongly affected by this `anti-dephasing' mechanism.

description: This paper is a sequel to [BKR], where we studied the derived affine scheme DRep_n(A) of the classical representation scheme Rep_n(A) for an associative k-algebra A. In [BKR], we have constructed canonical trace maps Tr_n(A): HC(A) -> H[DRep_n(A)]^GL extending the usual characters of representations to higher cyclic homology. This raises a question whether a well known theorem of Procesi [P] holds in the derived setting: namely, is the algebra homomorphism Sym[Tr_n(A)]: Sym[HC(A)] -> H[DRep_n(A)]^GL defined by Tr_n(A) surjective ? In the present paper, we answer this question for augmented algebras. Given such an algebra, we construct a canonical dense DG subalgebra DRep_\infty(A)^Tr of the topological DG algebra DRep_\infty(A)^{GL_\infty}. It turns out that on passing to the inverse limit (as n -> \infty), the family of maps Sym[Tr_n(A)] "stabilizes" to an isomorphism Sym[\bar{HC}(A)] = H[DRep_\infty(A)^Tr]. The derived version of Procesi's theorem does therefore hold in the limit. However, for a fixed (finite) n, there exist homological obstructions to the surjectivity of Sym[Tr_n(A)], and we show on simple examples that these obstructions do not vanish in general. We compare our result with the classical theorem of Loday-Quillen and Tsygan on stable homology of matrix Lie algebras. We show that the relative Chevalley-Eilenberg complex C(gl_\infty(A), gl_\infty(k); k) equipped with the natural coalgebra structure is Koszul dual to the DG algebra DRep_\infty(A)^Tr. We also extend our main results to bigraded DG algebras, in which case we show that DRep_{\infty}(A)^Tr = DRep_{\infty}(A)^GL_{\infty}. As an application, we compute the (bigraded) Euler characteristics of DRep_\infty(A)^GL_{\infty} and \bar{HC}(A) and derive some interesting combinatorial identities.

description: Taking advantage of development in Cloud Computing technologies we developed IAM (Intelligent Access Management), an application for monitoring traffic and use of facilities in large residential infrastructures. IAM offers a variety of services informing the residential infrastructure manager of possible increase in activity and usage of the available facilities. Access privilege to facilities is granted to the users via limited time subscriptions. The services are provided as a Web application that runs on a smart device (e.g., mobile phone), which connects to sensors associated with specific areas of an infrastructure (e.g., residential building). IAM access and monitoring services are implemented to the cloud that can be a private cloud per infrastructure. IAM not only enables user monitoring and use of certain facilities of a building but also, allows users to interact with the management personnel in cases of emergency or when they need assistance. Anonymous use (log) data from separate private clouds are collected and transmitted to a public cloud for further analysis (e.g., big data analysis). This analysis can provide useful statistics about user preferences or uncover unknown data correlations that can be used to improve business operations and the quality of services (e.g. users’ data may provide feedback for enhancing system functionality and users’ acceptance).
Black Hole Spin via Continuum Fitting and the Role of Spin in Powering Transient Jets

description: The spins of ten stellar black holes have been measured using the continuum-fitting method. These black holes are located in two distinct classes of X-ray binary systems, one that is persistently X-ray bright and another that is transient. Both the persistent and transient black holes remain for long periods in a state where their spectra are dominated by a thermal accretion disk component. The spin of a black hole of known mass and distance can be measured by fitting this thermal continuum spectrum to the thin-disk model of Novikov and Thorne; the key fit parameter is the radius of the inner edge of the black hole's accretion disk. Strong observational and theoretical evidence links the inner-disk radius to the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit, which is trivially related to the dimensionless spin parameter a_* of the black hole (|a_*| < 1). The ten spins that have so far been measured by this continuum-fitting method range widely from a_* \approx 0 to a_* > 0.95. The robustness of the method is demonstrated by the dozens or hundreds of independent and consistent measurements of spin that have been obtained for several black holes, and through careful consideration of many sources of systematic error. Among the results discussed is a dichotomy between the transient and persistent black holes; the latter have higher spins and larger masses. Also discussed is recently discovered evidence in the transient sources for a correlation between the power of ballistic jets and black hole spin.

description: The chiral topological superconductor, which supports propagating nontrivial edge modes while maintaining a gapped bulk, can be realized hybridizing a quantum-anomalous-Hall thin slab with an ordinary $s$-wave superconductor. We show that by sweeping the voltage bias in a normal-hybrid-normal double junction, the pattern of electric currents in the normal leads spans three main regimes. From single-mode edge-current quantization at low bias, to double-mode edge-current oscillations at intermediate voltages and up to diffusive bulk currents at larger voltages. Observing such patterns by resolving the spatial distribution of the local current in the thin slab could provide additional evidence, besides the global conductance, on the physics of chiral topological superconductors.

description: When a spin-polarized current flows through a ferromagnetic (FM) metal, angular momentum is transferred to the background magnetization via spin-transfer torques. In antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials, however, the corresponding problem is unsolved. We derive microscopically the dynamics of an AFM system driven by spin current generated by an attached FM polarizer, and find that the spin current exerts a driving force on the local staggered order parameter. The mechanism does not rely on the conservation of spin angular momentum, nor does it depend on the induced FM moments on top the AFM background. Two examples are studied: (i) A domain wall is accelerated to a terminal velocity by purely adiabatic effect where the Walker's break-down is avoided; and (ii) Spin injection modifies the AFM resonance frequency, and spin current injection triggers spin wave instability of local moments above a threshold.

description: Evoking Polish Memory explores the contemporary memoryscape of a mid-sized Polish city through the eyes of victims of repression and former security officers involved in political violence from 1944-1989. A theoretically sophisticated and methodologically rigorous ethnography, the book goes beyond recounting oral histories and uncovers how real people (re)construct memories of the past in the present through their interactions with social networks, state-sponsored memory projects, the court system, political discourses, and religious practices. Rich and compelling, Evoking Polish Memory is a rare success story in interdisciplinary research, taking an anthropological approach to questions of interest to political scientists, legal scholars, sociologists, and historians. Some minor revisions would strengthen the book even further and ensure that it garners the wider readership it deserves.

Warto się jej przyjrzeć także jako świadectwu problemów, z jakimi borykają się dyskursy naukowe funkcjonujące na styku kultur i języków. Większość autorów tekstów opublikowanych w „Travelling concepts…" wywodzi się mianowicie z niemieckiego kręgu kulturowego i językowego. W kilku wypadkach trudno ocenić to na podstawie notki biograficznej, gdyż są wśród nich osoby o bardzo mobilnych życiorysach naukowych. Niemniej, siedemnaścioro spośród dziewiętnaściorga autorów podaje niemiecką afiliację. Ponieważ teksty nie zawierają informacji o tłumaczach, należy wyjść z założenia, że przeważnie pisali oni w obcym języku, czyli angielskim. Właśnie takie publikacje, wydawane w międzynarodowych wydawnictwach i pisane w językach kongresowych, stawiane są od jakiegoś czasu za wzór polskim humanistom. W praktyce oznacza to, że wielu badaczy pisze w innym języku niż myśli lub daje swoje teksty do tłumaczenia. „Travelling concepts" pozwala przyjrzeć się takim działaniom i omówić związane z nimi problemy.

Στη συνέχεια, μελετάται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο αναδύεται το νόημα-βίωμα της λογοτεχνίας, μέσα από το θεωρητικό και λογοτεχνικό έργο του Γιώργου Χειμωνά, καταλήγοντας στην ανάδειξη ενός χώρου ασύλληπτων ετεροτήτων ασύμφωνα με τη σκέψη του Maurice Blanchot για τη λογοτεχνία. Στη δεύτερη ενότητα διερευνάται η ‘αφήγηση’ υπό το πρίσμα της αρχιτεκτονικής, μέσα από τη μελέτη του έργου του αρχιτέκτονα John Hejduk, το οποίο δομείται αφηγηματικά συνδέοντας τη σκέψη και το συμβάν στο χώρο και δημιουργεί πεδία διάδρασης που αναδύουν άπειρες δυνητικές αφηγήσεις και βιώματα.

description: Interface engineering is one of the promising strategies for the long-term stabilization of perovskite solar cells, preventing chemical decomposition induced by external agents and promoting fast charge transfer. Recently, MXenes-2D structured transition metal carbides and nitrides with various functionalization (=O,-F,-OH) demonstrated high potential for mastering the work function in halide perovskite absorbers and significantly improved the n-type charge collection in solar cells. This work demonstrates that MXenes allow for efficient stabilization of perovskite solar cells besides improving their performances. We introduce a new mixed composite bathocuproine:MXene, i.e., (BCP:MXene) interlayer at the interface between an electron-transport layer (ETL) and a metal cathode in the p-in device structure. Our investigation demonstrates that the use of BCP:MXene interlayer slightly increases the power conversation efficiency (PCE) for PSCs (from 16.5 for reference to 17.5%) but dramatically improves the out of Glove-Box stability. Under ISOS-L-2 light soaking stress at 63$\pm$ 1.5{\textdegree}C, The T80 (time needed to reduce efficiency down to 80% of the initial one) period increased from 460 h to > 2300 h.

description: Human and humanoid posture control models usually rely on single or multiple degrees of freedom inverted pendulum representation of upright stance associated with a feedback controller. In models typically focused on the action between ankles, hips, and knees, the control of head position is often neglected, and the head is considered one with the upper body. However, two of the three main contributors to the human motion sensorium reside in the head: the vestibular and the visual system. As the third contributor, the proprioceptive system is distributed throughout the body. In human neurodegenerative brain diseases of motor control, like Progressive Supranuclear Palsy PSP and Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease IPD, clinical studies have demonstrated the importance of head motion deficits. This work specifically addresses the control of the head during a perturbed upright stance. A control model for the neck is proposed following the hypothesis of a modular posture control from previous studies. Data from human experiments are used to fit the model and retrieve sets of parameters representative of the behavior obtained in different conditions. The result of the analysis is twofold: validate the model and its underlying hypothesis and provide a system to assess the differences in posture control that can be used to identify the differences between healthy subjects and patients with different conditions. Implications for clinical pathology and application in humanoid and assistive robotics are discussed.

description: Policy makers and other stakeholders are currently asking fundamental questions about whether and to what extent international investment agreements (IIAs) are consistent with and are helping to advance sustainable development objectives at home and abroad. A 2019 paper from CCSI examines the alignment of IIAs with the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, arguing that while FDI will play an important role in advancing development outcomes, existing treaties must be reformed and future IIAs reimagined in order to achieve deep alignment with the sustainable development goals. The paper proposes that IIAs should be designed and evaluated with respect to their ability to promote investments that advance sustainable development goals, while withholding benefits from investments that undermine these goals. It then argues that treaties should also be evaluated according to their ability to promote, rather than constrain, responsible, SDG-advancing governance at the national level. It considers the effects of IIAs on policy-making processes and regulatory space, cautioning that current provisions in IIAs protect the interests of investors over those of other stakeholders and constrain states’ abilities to regulate investments to conform with the public interest. Finally, it suggests that international agreements could and should do more to address transnational governance gaps, regulatory races to the bottom, and global commons problems, where international commitments related to the governance of investment could advance development outcomes.

description: A decade after 1989, Poland began experiencing a "memory boom." This explosion in cultural productions dealing with the past inspired scholarly research on collective memory in fields as diverse as Anthropology, Archeology, Art History, Communications, Cultural Studies, History, Film, Languages and Linguistics, Literature, Journalism, Media Studies, Museum Studies, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. While this intellectual surge drew inspiration from classical works produced earlier in Western Europe and the United States, it also produced a plethora of new concepts, theories, and perspectives rooted in the Central European experience and drew on classical Polish authors. This incredibly rich field of inquiry presents an intellectual labyrinth that can be difficult to navigate. Novices may have trouble finding their bearings, while seasoned scholars may talk past each other, each using terms native to their disciplines for lack of a common language.

description: Den zeitlichen Rahmen des vorliegenden Sammelbandes bildet die Zwischenkriegszeit und hier vor allem die Zeit der Sanacja, also der Zeitraum nach Józef Piłsudskis Maiputsch 1926 bis zum deutschen Überfall auf Polen im September 1939. In diese Zeit fällt in Polen – ähnlich weiteren europäischen Staaten – ein deutlicher, an der Grenze zum Faschismus stehender Rechtsruck der Politik wie auch des öffentlichen Lebens. Der Untersuchung dieses „nationalistischen Diskurs[es], der über verschiedene ästhetische Ausprägungen verfügte" (S. 12), widmet sich – unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Einflusses der Sanacja auf die Literatur, die bildende Kunst sowie die Architektur – das Sammelwerk.

description: Tytuł zbioru wskazuje na obszar badawczy, jakim jest polska pamięć kulturowa, a równocześnie na przyjętą wobec niego perspektywę feministyczną, pozwalającą skupić się na historii kobiet, ich aktywności społecznej, politycznej i artystycznej. Pojęcie „głosów kobiet", użyte przez redaktorki, można odnieść zarówno do ich praw obywatelskich, udziału w życiu publicznym, ale także do ich ekspresji w literaturze i innych dziedzinach sztuki. Wyrazem tej wieloznaczności jest trójdzielna konstrukcja książki. Pierwsza część prezentuje zagadnienia historyczne i teoretyczne, zaś dwie kolejne są analityczne – jedna poświęcona jest literaturze, a druga filmowi, teatrowi i studiom lingwistycznym. Jak zaznacza we wstępie Urszula Chowaniec, współredaktorka tomu obok Urszuli Philips, perspektywa feministyczna stanowi dla zebranych tekstów jedynie umowną ramę. Chowaniec określa typ badań, w którym mieszczą się kwestie społeczno-polityczne i kulturowe związane z kobietami – także te kontrowersyjne, pomijane bądź traktowane w pobieżny sposób. Konieczność ich przedyskutowania na nowo wydała się Chowaniec o tyle istotna, iż mimo intensywnych przemian po 1989 roku w Polsce, wiele kwestii genderowych, związanych z równością płci pozostało nierozstrzygniętych. Przygnębiająco wypada zwłaszcza przytoczone we wstępie zestawienie okresu 1989-2009 z dwudziestoleciem międzywojennym, gdy kobiety zyskały prawo do głosowania, edukacji, pracy zawodowej, co przełożyło się na ich aktywność, także intelektualną. Tymczasem po upadku komunizmu, mimo demokratyzacji systemu, „nowy porządek", jak ujęła to Maria Janion, był rodzaju męskiego.

description: Die Geschichte des Deutschen Ritterordens wie auch des von ihm im Spätmittelalter im Preußenland und dem Baltikum errichteten Ordensstaates erweckt neben Deutschland vor allem in Polen immer noch großes Interesse, was sich nicht nur in expliziten geschichts- sondern auch in zahlreichen populärwissenschaftlichen Publikationen der letzten Jahre widerspiegelt. In Polen dominierte seit dem 19. Jahrhundert bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein ein überwiegend negativ konnotiertes Bild der Deutschritter, die nur allzu oft als eine der frühen Facetten des als genuin aggressiv und expansionistisch betrachteten „hässlichen Deutschen" dargestellt wurden. Im letzten Vierteljahrhundert war die historiographische Wahrnehmung des Deutschen Ordens wie auch seines streng organisierten theokratischen, an der Ostseeküste zwischen der Weichsel- und Narvamündung gelegenen Staates einem steten Imagewandel unterzogen, der zu einer etwas differenzierten Betrachtungsweise unter den polnischen Forschern beigetragen hat. Die Herausgeber des vorliegenden Sammelbandes, Roman Czaja und Andrzej Radzimiński, sehen sich in der Tradition der letzten zwei Dezennien, in denen vor allem ein – verglichen mit früherer polnischer Forschung zum Deutschen Orden – nüchternerer Umgang mit vorhandenen Quellen gepflegt und ein dezidierter Blick auf die Errungenschaften und Misserfolge der Deutschritter im Preußenland und dem Baltikum gelegt wurde.

description: Ważne dla życia społecznego wydarzenia skłaniają do okresowego formułowania refleksji na temat ich samych oraz wywołanych przez nie skutków. Recenzowana praca, która stanowi pokłosie zorganizowanej w 2009 roku przez Instytut Socjologii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego konferencji pt. „Polska po 20 latach wolności", jest przejawem tego typu zbiorowego namysłu nad dwoma dekadami przemian społecznych w naszym kraju. Jednak, jak zaznaczają redaktorzy tomu, nie jest jedynie pokonferencyjnym zbiorem tekstów, ponieważ wśród 30 opublikowanych w nim artykułów autorstwa pracowników i doktorantów Instytutu znalazły się także i takie, które napisano specjalnie do tego wydania. Zebrany w tomie materiał podzielono na sześć tematycznych części, z których dwie odnoszą się do instytucji (instytucje polityki, instytucje i systemy społeczne), jedna do wartości (przemiany struktur i wartości), a trzy do tożsamości (naród, gender, polityka pamięci). Taki podział zasadniczo odpowiada sformułowanemu we wstępie założeniu, „że dla socjologa najważniejsze są wzajemne związki między instytucjonalnymi, strukturalnymi i kulturowymi wymiarami transformującego się społeczeństwa" (s. 7).
