Kolare, tiggare, spelmän – finnmarken och dess invånare i Dan Andersson författarskap

Dan Andersson (1888-1920), a poet and writer, has a large number of enthusiasts in Sweden. Many of his poems were put to music and they became well - known songs. His lyrics are said to contain the essence of Sweden - anxiety, melancholy and existential dilemmas. He lived and wrote in the period of important political and social transformations which were also reflected in literature. There are many similarities in the biographies of Dan Andersson and of the first proletariat writers. Being himself very poor he commiserated with the poor, the unhappy and the sufferers. This compassion reflected in his works has taken the form of philosophical and religious thoughts of human fate and attitude towards God. The background of Dan Andersson works is finnmark - a Finnish colony region lying on the border between the province of Varmland and Dalama. When describing his finnmark Dan Andersson combines realistic pictures of hard work, poverty and misery with elements of fantasy and folk beliefs. He also pays a lot of attention to the descriptions of nature. His heroes are very characteristic: they are charcoalburners, beggars, fiddlers, shamans and criminals. Each of these groups is described in a different way

Battlegrounds. Net Art and Virtual Worlds in the Work of Chinese Artists

Art historian Wu Hunga one of the first to describe contemporary Chinese art suggested that in the Chinese context it should rather be called experimental shiyan yishu 1 then postmodern as it diverges chronologically from the development of Western art In 2005 he wrote that he saw the following stages 1979-1984 the time of the formation of unofficial art 1985-1989 known as the New Wave of Art 85 and the China Avant-garde exhibition in Beijing as a result of this period then 1990-1993 when Chinese experimental art entered the world market and finally from 1994 to the present art as a critique of the socio-cultural situation in China 2 Now after more than fifteen years it would be appropriate to add further stages including certainly the extremely intense development after 2004 of art using new information technologies and social medi

Innovativeness of Polish manufacturing enterprises in 2008-2015

Purpose – The aim of the article is an attempt to estimate the level of innovativeness of Polish manufacturing enterprises conducting their activity in the years 2008-2015. Research method – The study was divided into three stages. First stage – estimation of synthetic innovativeness indicators of manufacturing enterprises operating in Poland (2008 – 2015) – general and broken down into individual departments of the manufacturing sector. Second stage – estimation of the main descriptive statistics of the synthetic innovativeness indicator of Polish manufacturing enterprises (2008-2015) – average, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, minimum value, maximum value. Third stage – creating a ranking of innovativeness of Polish manufacturing enterprises representing individual departments of sector C and conducting their activity in 2015. The ranking was based on a synthetic innovativeness indicator of Polish manufacturing enterprises for 2015. Results – The study shows that the synthetic index of innovativeness of Polish enterprises in the manufacturing sector in 2009-2015 is characterized by an upward trend. Department C20 came first in the ranking of innovativeness of Polish manufacturing enterprises by individual departments of sector C (manufacturing) operating in 2015, whereas department C13-15 ranked last. Originality – Estimation, statistical evaluation of the synthetic innovativeness indicator of Polish manufacturing enterprises and creating a ranking of innovativeness of Polish manufacturing enterprises by individual departments of sector C conducting their activity in 2015.Anita Joanna FAJCZAK-KOWALSKA: [email protected] Klaudia KOWALSKA: [email protected] Joanna FAJCZAK-KOWALSKA, PhD - Institute of Information Technology, Technical University of LodzMagdalena Klaudia KOWALSKA, MSc - Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of LodzBaruk J., 2002, Innowacje, kultura innowacyjna i poziom innowacyjności przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych, „Gospodarka Narodowa”, nr 11-12, s. 78-84.Dec P., Szczerbak M., 2015, Specyfika rachunkowości i ocena kondycji przedsiębiorstwa przemysłowego, [w:] Przedsiębiorstwo przemysłowe w Polsce, Poniatowska-Jaksch M., Sobiecki R.

Chapter OCT for Examination of Cultural Heritage Objects

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first time reported as a tool for examination of cultural heritage objects in 2004. It is mainly used for the examination of subsurface structure of easel paintings (such as varnishes and glazes) and has also been successfully used for inspection of other types of artworks, provided that they contain layers that are permeable to the probing light. This chapter discusses the last applications of OCT in this area with an emphasis on synergy with some other noninvasive techniques such as large-scale X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning and reflective Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. After this part, there is a detailed description of the high-resolution OCT instrument developed by the authors specifically for the study of works of art. Next, two examples are given for the structural examination of works of art: in the former, the subsurface layers of an easel painting are presented, and in the latter, the painting on reverse of the glass is examined, when the inspection must be carried out through the glass. Finally, an application for the assessment of chemical varnish removal from an easel panel painting is discussed in details

Evaluation of the impact of macroeconomic factors on innovativeness of enterprises from the TSL sector in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe

Purpose – The main objective of the article is to assess the impact of the macroeconomic environment on the innovativeness of enterprises of the TSL sector in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in 2010-2016 with the forecast for 2017-2018. Research method – The paper has been divided into the theoretical and practical part. The first part is based on the subject literature and refers to the theoretical aspect of innovation and innovativeness of enterprises. The second part is empirical. Two synthetic indicators were created – a synthetic index of innovativeness of enterprises operating in the TSL sector and conducting their activities in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and a synthetic macroeconomic indicator of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Next, a forecast based on the extrapolation of the trend was made and the relationships between the analyzed synthetic indicators were examined using the Ordinary Least Squares Method. Results – Based on the research, it can be concluded that in Central and Eastern Europe there is a statistically significant relationship between the synthetic macroeconomic indicator and the synthetic indicator of the innovativeness of enterprises in the TSL sector. Originality – Evaluation of the impact of macroeconomic factors on the innovativeness of enterprises of the TSL sector in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.Hanna NIEDŹWIEDZIŃSKA: [email protected] Klaudia KOWALSKA: [email protected] NIEDŹWIEDZIŃSKA, PhD - Institute of Information Technology, Technical University of LodzMagdalena Klaudia KOWALSKA, MSc - Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of LodzBal-Woźniak T., 2012, Innowacyjność w ujęciu podmiotowym.

The biological activity assessment of potential drugs acting on cardiovascular system using Lipinski and Veber Rules

Advanced computational methods (in silico) play major role in the early stages of developing new pharmaceuticals. Precise knowledge on molecular structure gives the possibility of forecasting the drug candidates basic properties. Despite many drugs registered in the arrhythmia treatment, this disease currently is still a big therapeutic problem. Therefore, intensive search for new drugs acting on the cardiovascular system are performed. In the presented work, 77 pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives were analyzed for antiarrhythmic activity. Values of the key parameters proposed by Lipinski and Veber were obtained using computational chemistry methods. It's worth pointing out that the studied group of derivatives shows similar physicochemical properties to the anti-arrhythmic drugs used
