The work takes attempt of (test of) appearance of specifi city of commercial local radio, equal as element of system of social intercommunication as well as mediumistic enterprises. Problem of wonder of radio touch, the work also calls attention on most important legal aspects of broadcasting markets in Poland. Moreover it tries to indicate key reasons of revolts of local media, it indicates features next characterizing local radio station. Besides, functioning of local radio station presents as enterprise within practical and express on example of radio theoretical (on example of Radio Express FM

Obraz życia codziennego w Chełmie w 1928 roku na podstawie rubryki Fun Chełm un umgegent (Z Chełma i okolicy) publikowanej na łamach tygodnika „Chełmer Sztyme” (Głos Chełma)

W artykule szkicuję obraz życia codziennego żydowskich mieszkańców Chełma w 1928 r., wykorzystując informacje zawarte w stałej rubryce Fun Chełm un umgegent (Z Chełma i okolicy), publikowanej na łamach tygodnika „Chełmer Sztyme” (Głos Chełma). Czasopismo ukazywało się w latach 1924–1939, w artykule koncentruję się jednak na jednym roczniku – 1928. Ograniczenie się do wybranej rubryki jednego rocznika pozwoliło mi na wstępne rozpoznanie języka gazety i jej perspektywy w opisywaniu wycinka miejskiej rzeczywistości. Tekst ma charakter przyczynkarski i jego głównym celem jest rekonesans możliwości wykorzystania prasy w tworzeniu monografii chełmskiej społeczności żydowskiej. The aim of this article is to outline everyday life of Jewish inhabitants of Chełm in 1928, on the basis of the column “Fun Chełm un umgegent” (From Chełm and Its Neighbourhood) published in the Khelemer Shtime (The Voice of Chełm) weekly. The newspaper was issued between 1924 and 1939, but for the purpose of this paper I have decided to focus on issues from one year exclusively – 1928. This restraint enables to examine magazine’s language and its perspective in the town’s depiction. Additional goal of this paper is to identify the possibility of the use of Yiddish press in developing a monograph, devoted to Jewish inhabitants of Chełm in the inter-war period, in the field of social history.W artykule szkicuję obraz życia codziennego żydowskich mieszkańców Chełma w 1928 r., wykorzystując informacje zawarte w stałej rubryce Fun Chełm un umgegent (Z Chełma i okolicy), publikowanej na łamach tygodnika „Chełmer Sztyme” (Głos Chełma).

Die Rolle von Fertigungsmitarbeitern im strategischen Human Resource Management

In der fertigungsspezifischen Literatur ist in jüngerer Vergangenheit der Ruf laut geworden, einen Wandel im Produktionsmanagement weg von der Technozentrik hin zur Anthropozentrik zu vollziehen. Insbesondere das strategische Human Resource Management, das eine stärkere Ausrichtung der Personalpraktiken auf die strategischen und strukturellen Gegebenheiten eines Industriebetriebs postuliert, geht als Ansatz hervor, der immer mehr zur Notwendigkeit in der industriellen Praxis wird. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage dieser Arbeit lautet dementsprechend, ob diesem Postulat in der Realität tatsächlich auch entsprochen wird oder ob, wie es in der Vergangenheit häufig zu beobachten war, dem Personalmanagement nach wie vor ein zu starker Funktionserfüllungscharakter anhaftet. Die verwendete Datenbasis basiert auf dem multinationalen Forschungsprojekt High Performance Manufacturing, welches Einblicke in die Triade-Länder (Japan, USA, Deutschland) zu den Betrachtungszeitpunkten 1997 und 2004 ermöglicht. Die empirischen Analysen zeigen, dass sich für Industriebetriebe vermehrt das Erfor-dernis stellt, die operative Basis – wegen ihrer sehr profunden Kenntnis des Fertigungsbereichs – in Entscheidungen jedweder Art einzubeziehen. Grundsätzlich ist das Human Resource Management nicht als Pflichtenheft aufzufassen, sondern als Vehikel, sich durch sinnvollen Mix aus Strategie, Struktur und Personal im Wettbewerb von den Konkurrenten abzuheben. Entscheidendes Kriterium ist dabei ein funktionierendes Kommunikations- und Informationssystem, das eine hierarchieübergreifende Zusammenarbeit gewährleistet. Nur so ist es möglich, dass Fertigungsmitarbeiter ihre Arbeitsaufgaben schneller, besser und mit weniger Fehlern vollziehen. Auch kann die Qualität operativer und strategischer Entscheidungen signifikant verbessert werden, da die Entscheidungsträger über ein valideres und realistischeres Einschätzungsvermögen bezüglich der Situation im eigenen Industriebetrieb verfügen

Highly birefringent, low-loss liquid crystals for terahertz applications

With growing interest in switchable devices for the THz frequency range, there is a strong demand for liquid crystals (LC) exhibiting both a high birefringence and a low absorption. We present the refractive index and absorption coefficient of the liquid crystal mixtures 1852 and 1825 in the frequency range between 0.2 and 2.5 THz. Both mixtures are designed specifically for high birefringence Δn of 0.32 and 0.38, respectively, in the THz region. In addition, they show low absorption coefficients for both ordinary and extraordinary polarization. This low absorbance in combination with the high birefringence makes these LCs particularly well suited for applications in switchable devices for THz optics.M. Reuter, N. Vieweg, B. M. Fischer, M.

Characterization of Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella protothecoides using multi-pixel photon counters in a 3D focusing optofluidic system

Analysis of microparticle size and fluorescence intensity can be used to classify microparticles. We designed and fabricated an optofluidic system that characterizes microparticles, including fluorescent microparticles and microalgae. A new type of multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC) was employed to miniaturize the device, lower its power consumption, and make it insensitive to magnetic fields. The system uses a 635 nm laser for excitation of the microparticles\u27 fluorescence. The scattered light from the fluorescent microparticles, as well as Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella protothecoides, were measured. Additionally, we analyzed the width and height of the measured signals generated as a result of microparticles and microalgae passing through the interrogation region. Using this device, we distinguished fluorescent microparticles of sizes of 3.2 μm and 10.2 μm. Additionally, different types of microalgae were distinguished using this high-throughput 3D focusing system. The analysis of the experimental results also confirms the capability of the device for monitoring of algae growth over time. The unique properties of MPPC as optical detector for both laboratory and field applications are demonstrated

Functional outcome after perineal stapled prolapse resection for external rectal prolapse

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A new surgical technique, the Perineal Stapled Prolapse resection (PSP) for external rectal prolapse was introduced in a feasibility study in 2008. This study now presents the first results of a larger patient group with functional outcome in a mid-term follow-up.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>From December 2007 to April 2009 PSP was performed by the same surgeon team on patients with external rectal prolapse. The prolapse was completely pulled out and then axially cut open with a linear stapler at three and nine o'clock in lithotomy position. Finally, the prolapse was resected stepwise with the curved Contour^®Transtar™ stapler at the prolapse's uptake. Perioperative morbidity and functional outcome were prospectively measured by appropriate scores.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>32 patients participated in the study; median age was 80 years (range 26-93). No intraoperative complications and 6.3% minor postoperative complications occurred. Median operation time was 30 minutes (15-65), hospital stay 5 days (2-19). Functional outcome data were available in 31 of the patients after a median follow-up of 6 months (4-22). Preoperative severe faecal incontinence disappeared postoperatively in 90% of patients with a reduction of the median Wexner score from 16 (4-20) to 1 (0-14) (<it>P </it>< 0.0001). No new incidence of constipation was reported.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The PSP is an elegant, fast and safe procedure, with good functional results.</p> <p>Trial registration</p> <p>ISRCTN68491191</p
