The Perception of Queen Victoria in American Press of Her Times
Brytyjska królowa Wiktoria, która zdobyła tron w 1920 r. po śmierci swego dziadka i wuja, nie miała zbyt dużych szans na zostanie władczynią supermocarstwa. Urodzona jako jedyna córka czwartego syna króla Jerzego III, nie była kształcona do pełnienia takiej roli. Jednak udało jej się zbudować i umocniać imperium i rządzić Wielką Brytanią przez ponad 60 lat. Artykuł stanowi analizę wizerunku królowej w amerykańskiej prasie jej czasów, która wskazuje na obecność królowej w zaskakująco dużej liczbie artykułów prasowych. Badane materiały przedstawiają ją jako silnego i stanowczego polityka i symbol królestwa oraz przedmiot szerokiego zainteresowania amerykańskiej opinii publicznej

Theatre and Drama of Socialist Realism in the Context of Cryptotexts (Based on MKiS and WUKPPiW Material)
The main goal of the article is to offer a description of cryptotexts of theatre staging handbooks and dramatic works created in Poland during the socialist realism period. A cryptotext is a secret text which is the result of a purposeful act of subterfuge. In the article, I present selected cryptotexts – reviews produced in the Ministry of Culture and Art (MKiS) and censorship reviews of the dramatic works submitted for evaluation to the Voivodship Control Bureau for Press, Main Office of Control of Press, Publications and Shows (WUKPPiW). The archives contain evaluation of works which have been published in subsequent years as well as those which remained only in their draft form. Analysis of the evaluations of ministry officials reveal the mechanisms for allowing and withholding submitted dramatic works and a theatre staging handbook which shows the practices of publishing theatrical works. An analysis of different evaluations of the same text allows for a hypothesis that the main aim of cryptotexts was the evaluation of ideological correctness of submitted works. Despite this main function it is possible to point out specific passages in the statements by the WUKPPiW officials which are similar to statements of Ministry officials. In both cases the evaluation pertains to the content and the planned fulfilment of the work and plays mainly a didactic function

Bounds for tentacular Hamiltonians
This paper represents a first step towards the extension of the definition of
Rabinowitz Floer homology to non-compact energy hypersurfaces in exact
symplectic manifolds. More concretely, we study under which conditions it is
possible to establish -bounds for the Floer trajectories of a
Hamiltonian with non-compact energy levels. Moreover, we introduce a class of
Hamiltonians, called tentacular Hamiltonians, which satisfy the conditions: how
to define RFH for these examples will be the subject of a follow-up paper.Comment: typos corrected; readability improve
QTM: computational package using MPI protocol for quantum trajectories method
The Quantum Trajectories Method (QTM) is one of {the} frequently used methods
for studying open quantum systems. { The main idea of this method is {the}
evolution of wave functions which {describe the system (as functions of time).
Then,} so-called quantum jumps are applied at {a} randomly selected point in
time. {The} obtained system state is called as a trajectory. After averaging
many single trajectories{,} we obtain the approximation of the behavior of {a}
quantum system.} {This fact also allows} us to use parallel computation
methods. In the article{,} we discuss the QTM package which is supported by the
MPI technology. Using MPI allowed {utilizing} the parallel computing for
calculating the trajectories and averaging them -- as the effect of these
actions{,} the time {taken by} calculations is shorter. In spite of using the
C++ programming language, the presented solution is easy to utilize and does
not need any advanced programming techniques. At the same time{,} it offers a
higher performance than other packages realizing the QTM. It is especially
important in the case of harder computational tasks{,} and the use of MPI
allows {improving the} performance of particular problems which can be solved
in the field of open quantum systems.Comment: 28 pages, 9 figure
The Entanglement Level and the Detection of Quantum Data Transfer Correctness in Short Qutrit Spin Chains
The quantum entanglement is an important feature of many protocols in the
field of quantum computing. In this paper we evaluate a level of entanglement
in short qutrit chains. This evaluation is carried out with use of the CCNR
criterion and the concurrence measure. We also present some explicit formulae
describing the values of CCNR criterion and concurrence for exemplary short
spin chains. Utilizing the obtained results, we indicate that analyzing the
level of entanglement allows to detect the noise or deviation in the transfer
process, in comparison to the perfect transfer where only operation realizing
transfer is present.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, small typos fi
