Antichrist in the Oval Office: the Rhetoric of \u27antichrist\u27 in Online Discourse Surrounding Donald Trump

This thesis examines how people compare the president to the Antichrist online, specifically during the Trump administration. Looking at digital Antichrist comparisons as distinct communicative practices, I argue that the digital affordances and logics that allow for the rapid spread of ideas online work synergistically with the historical weight of the Antichrist as a concept, helping the comparisons to spread further and faster than they could have through other mediums while simultaneously being more impactful than other digitally-spread content due to the wealth of sources, both within religion and pop culture, which can be drawn on. In examining a Twitter trend that compared Donald Trump to The Omen\u27s Antichrist, Damien Thorn, I argue that the Antichrist was used as an apt metaphor for violence connected to religion and politics, which was then able to expand the idea of Trump as the Antichrist to other moments of Trump\u27s presidency through contamination and remix practices. From there, I look at a digital conspiracy archive that details a variety of different ways that Donald Trump could be connected to the Antichrist, where the structure of the archive allows visitors to gravitate toward the elements that are most useful to them, all of which is more effective due to the invisible presence of information about the Antichrist that has infiltrated cultural awareness. Whether public or hidden, these case studies demonstrate how well an ancient political idea continues to thrive within the digital landscape

Speculum Saxonum and Ius Municpale as Sources of Law in the Works of Tucholczyk

The paper is an English translation of Speculum Saxonum i Ius munici-pale jako źródła prawa w dziełach Tucholczyka by Władysław Bojarski, published originally in Polish in “Annales Universtitatis Nicoli Coper-nici. Prawo” in 1987. The text is published as a part of a jubilee edition of the “Adam Mickiewicz University Law Review. 100th Anniversary of the Faculty of Law and Administration” devoted to the achievements of the late Professors of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań

Whitney’s jets for Sobolev functions

We present two fundamental facts of the jet theory for Sobolev spaces Wmp. One of them is that the formal differentiation of k-jets theory is compatible with the pointwise definition of Sobolev (m − 1)-jet spaces on regular subsets of Euclidean spaces Rⁿ. The second result describes the Sobolev embedding operator of Sobolev jet spaces increasing the order of integrability of Sobolev functions up to the critical Sobolev exponent.Встановлено два фундаментальних факти теорії струменів для просторів Соболева Wm,p. Перший із них полягає в тому, що формальне диференціювання k-струменів є сумісним з поточковим визначенням соболевських просторів (m−1)-струменя на регулярних підмножинах евклідових просторів Rⁿ. Другий результат описує соболевські оператори вкладення соболевських просторів струменів, що покращують порядок сумовності соболевських функцій аж до критичного показника
