Microscopic study of collective states of even-even Molybdenum isotopes

Low energy quadrupole excitations of the 84-110Mo nuclei are studied in the frame of the general Bohr collective model based on the ATDHFB method with the Skyrme effective interaction. Obtained energies of the 2_1, 4_1, 2_2 and 0_2 levels and B(E2) values for the 2_1 -> 0_g.s transitions are in good agreement with experimental data.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures, presented at 16th Nuclear Physics Workshop, Sept. 2009, Kazimierz Dolny, Polan

Collective excitations of transactinide nuclei in a self-consistent mean field theory

The ATDHFB approach has been applied for a study of properties of collective quadrupole states in several transactinide nuclei: 238U, 240Pu, 242Pu, 246Cm, 248Cm, 250Cf and 252Cf. Calculated energies and B(E2) transition probabilities are in a reasonable agreement with experimental data. Results concerning superdeformed collective states in the 240Pu nucleus are also presented.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures; presented at 14th Nuclear Physics Workshop (Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, Sept. 2007

W soczewce wiersza. Poezja w nauczaniu leksyki

W artykule koncentruję się na materiale poetyckim jako szczególnej formie organizacji języka. Poetycki skrót kondensuje językowy obraz świata, nie redukując przy tym jego złożoności i wewnętrznej dynamiki. W tekstach takich twórców, jak: Krynicki, Herbert, Szymborska, Świetlicki czy Bonowicz obserwujemy ciekawe strategie posługiwania się słowem, które można potraktować jako swoiste laboratorium językowe i doskonały materiał służący budowaniu słownictwa w procesie nauczania jpjo.In this article, I focus on poetic material as a particular mode of language organization. Poetic abridgement condenses the linguistic picture of the world without reducing its complexity and internal dynamics. In the texts of such artists as Krynicki, Herbert, Szymborska, Świetlicki, and Bonowicz, we can observe interesting strategies of employing the word, which can be considered a peculiar language laboratory and perfect vocabulary-building material for use in the process of teaching Polish as a foreign language

Convergence Analysis Among the Ten European Transition Economies

This paper presents the analysis of sigma (σ) and beta (β) convergences of per capita GDP among the 10 European countries which accessed the European Union in 2004. Our results confirm the existence of both types of convergence in the second half of the 1990s and the 2000s. Generally, the poorer and new EU member states grew faster than the richer new EU member states. As a result, the income gap between these two groups of countries has narrowed although it still remains quite large. The convergence occurred at the rate of 4.2% during the period 1992-2006 and 7.0% and 9.6% during the sub periods 1995-2006 and 2002-2006, respectively.economic growth, economic convergence, transition economies, European Union

To What Extent Is the Institutional Environment Responsible for Worldwide Differences in Economic Development

This study aims to assess to what extent the institutional environment is responsible for worldwide differences in economic development. To answer this question, a new concept of the institutions-augmented Solow model is constructed. The analysis covers 153 countries and the period 1994-2009. The empirical analysis confirms a large positive impact of the quality of the institutional environment on the level of economic development. This positive link has been evidenced for all six of the employed institutional indicators (although nonlinearities are present in some cases). Our own concept of the institutions-augmented Solow model fits the empirical data very well. It turns out that differences in physical capital, human capital and the institutional environment (which is measured by the governance indicator) explain approximately 75% of the differences in economic development among the countries of the world. According to the institutions-augmented Solow model, the production function that is consistent with the empirical data is Y = K0.372H0.315L0.313Q0.705, where K is the physical capital, H is the human capital, L is the labor and Q represents the institutional indicator

Horyzont kresu. Glosy do Drugiego przyjścia Williama Butlera Yeatsa

The outline presents a comprehensive interpretation of the poem The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats

Jan Lechoń: wiatr nocy, rysunek rdzy (na marginesie wiersza Stara Warszawa)

The present sketch proposes an aspectual analysis and interpretation of the poem Stara Warszawa by Jan Lechoń. The author of the sketch is interested in architectonics of the world revealed and rendered in the poem, in a complex and intricate network of relations in which the poem establishes, maintains, develops and interacts with other cultural texts, as well as its existentialist dimension. The basic frame of reference for the last mentioned issue is the friendship shared by Lechoń and Stanisław Baliński

WIG-20 Warsaw Stock Exchange Companies: Are They Ready for Governance Matters Disclosures Based on EU Sustainable Reporting Standards?

Theoretical background: In 2022, the European Commission’s intensive efforts to revise and enhance the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) from 2014 resulted in the proposal of Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the exposure draft on ESRS EDs (EFRAG Sustainable Reporting Standards Exposure Drafts). The ESRS drafts for public consultation presented the mandatory concepts and principles for sustainability reporting under the CSRD. The implementation of corporate sustainability is closely related to reporting that stimulates robustness of companies’ commitment to sustainability, and sustainable long-term actions taken by companies. Environment is priority, however, having in mind sophisticated environmental performance indicators, it is governance that ensures stakeholders whether the company exercises the sustainable obligations effectively.Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to determine EFRAG draft standards compliance with the Warsaw Stock Exchange best practices and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and an assessment of WIG-20 reporting practices regarding EFRAG draft standards. The main research question was whether and to what extent WIG-20 companies meet the sustainable reporting exposure drafts on governance matters proposed by EFRAG.Research methods: The study method was desk-based research using the gathered corporate data. The assumptions on the importance of governance matters were supported by VOSviewer analysis of Scopus bibliometric database analysis.Main findings: The results of the study have shown that the scope and level of reported disclosures by WIG-20 companies – that are best performing and positive toward sustainability – is insufficient and reporting practices do not meet proposed EFRAG draft standards. The study contributes to scarce research addressing the sustainability reporting approach. It provides a study of the governance maters regarding draft governance reporting ESRS drafts
