On the Minkowski-H\"{o}lder type inequalities for generalized Sugeno integrals with an application
In this paper, we use a new method to obtain the necessary and sufficient
condition guaranteeing the validity of the Minkowski-H\"{o}lder type inequality
for the generalized upper Sugeno integral in the case of functions belonging to
a wider class than the comonotone functions. As a by-product, we show that the
Minkowski type inequality for seminormed fuzzy integral presented by Daraby and
Ghadimi in General Minkowski type and related inequalities for seminormed fuzzy
integrals, Sahand Communications in Mathematical Analysis 1 (2014) 9--20 is not
true. Next, we study the Minkowski-H\"{o}lder inequality for the lower Sugeno
integral and the class of -subadditive functions introduced in On
Chebyshev type inequalities for generalized Sugeno integrals, Fuzzy Sets and
Systems 244 (2014) 51--62. The results are applied to derive new metrics on the
space of measurable functions in the setting of nonadditive measure theory. We
also give a partial answer to the open problem 2.22 posed by
Borzov\'a-Moln\'arov\'a and et al in The smallest semicopula-based universal
integrals I: Properties and characterizations, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 271

The microbiotest battery as an important component in the assessment of snowmelt toxicity in urban watercourses—preliminary studies
The aim of the study was to use a battery of
biotests composed of producers (Selenastrum
capricornutum, Sorghum saccharatum, Lepidium
sativum, and Sinapis alba), consumers (Thamnocephalus
platyurus), and decomposers (Tetrahymena thermophila)
to evaluate the toxicity of snowmelt and winter storm
water samples. The toxicity of the samples collected in
the winter period December to February (2010–2011), in
one of the largest agglomerations in Poland, the city of
Lodz, was compared to that of storm water samples taken
under similar conditions in June. The most toxic snowmelt
samples were found to be high acute hazard (class IV),
while the remaining samples were rated as slight acute
hazard (class II). L. sativum (in the Phytotox test) was the
most sensitive test organism, giving 27 % of all toxic
responses, followed by S. capricornutum with 23 % of
all responses. T. thermophila was the least sensitive, with
only 2 % of all toxic responses. The greatest range of
toxicity was demonstrated by samples from the single
family house catchment: no acute hazard (class I) to high
acute hazard (class IV
(Re)Producing the Neoliberal Subject: Child-Rearing Advice Literature Following The Great Risk Shift
Following neoliberal restructuring in the 1980s, parenting advice literature experienced a significant growth in popularity. As the state largely transferred responsibility to individual citizens for economic survival, child-rearing discourse encouraged the cultivation of a subject who was best-suited for the contours of neoliberal life. This thesis explores the implications of this parenting rhetoric, as well as of the rise in popularity of parenting advice literature in neoliberal circumstances
