On the Minkowski-H\"{o}lder type inequalities for generalized Sugeno integrals with an application

In this paper, we use a new method to obtain the necessary and sufficient condition guaranteeing the validity of the Minkowski-H\"{o}lder type inequality for the generalized upper Sugeno integral in the case of functions belonging to a wider class than the comonotone functions. As a by-product, we show that the Minkowski type inequality for seminormed fuzzy integral presented by Daraby and Ghadimi in General Minkowski type and related inequalities for seminormed fuzzy integrals, Sahand Communications in Mathematical Analysis 1 (2014) 9--20 is not true. Next, we study the Minkowski-H\"{o}lder inequality for the lower Sugeno integral and the class of $\mu$-subadditive functions introduced in On Chebyshev type inequalities for generalized Sugeno integrals, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 244 (2014) 51--62. The results are applied to derive new metrics on the space of measurable functions in the setting of nonadditive measure theory. We also give a partial answer to the open problem 2.22 posed by Borzov\'a-Moln\'arov\'a and et al in The smallest semicopula-based universal integrals I: Properties and characterizations, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 271 (2015) 1--17.Comment: 19 page

Temperature Effects Explain Continental Scale Distribution of Cyanobacterial Toxins

Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individual toxin variants and environmental factors, such as nutrients, temperature and light. In summer 2015, we collected samples across Europe to investigate the effect of nutrient and temperature gradients on the variability of toxin production at a continental scale. Direct and indirect effects of temperature were the main drivers of the spatial distribution in the toxins produced by the cyanobacterial community, the toxin concentrations and toxin quota. Generalized linear models showed that a Toxin Diversity Index (TDI) increased with latitude, while it decreased with water stability. Increases in TDI were explained through a significant increase in toxin variants such as MC-YR, anatoxin and cylindrospermopsin, accompanied by a decreasing presence of MC-LR. While global warming continues, the direct and indirect effects of increased lake temperatures will drive changes in the distribution of cyanobacterial toxins in Europe, potentially promoting selection of a few highly toxic species or strains.Peer reviewe

The role and meaning of the mind in social life

The aim of the article is to highlight the role of the mind in everyday life, the importance of intellect and intelligence. Paying attention to the changing reality, people's way of life and their thinking, the power of perception of intelligence in relation to the intellect, indicating the essence and importance of the issue under discussion, leaving the field to undertake one's own research. Design / methodology / approach: The research method used in the article is the analysis of scientific studies, supplemented by the author's observations and experience. The research procedure included a review of Polish and foreign literature, analysis of legal acts, method of analysis and synthesis, case study and deductive reasoning. The article refers to examples and studies related to the subject of the management of the human mind. Factors such as – intellect, intelligence, knowledge and awareness were indicated as indispensable attributes of a modern man. Conclusions: The relationship between the way of thinking and the intellectual level responsible for the reception and processing of information as the basis for rational decision-making was demonstrated. Attention was paid to the reality that makes people with a low level of intellectual efficiency a mass susceptible to manipulation. Persistent irrational attitudes in society resulting from misunderstanding and lack of awareness of the consequences of decisions made. Research limitations / implications: Limitations of the obtained results may result from a limited text sample, including limited analysis. The title complexity comes down to the essence of the issue of intellect and intelligence and their functioning, which remains a changing and always open area. Originality / value: The presented research, analysis, conclusions and suggestions provide practical tips not only to people of science, but above all to average citizens, mainly those who are not aware that each civilization change has a comprehensive dimension and obliges. Today, it is not enough to know what our problems and limitations are in order to control our emotions and calm the psyche. For the purposes of effective action, it is impossible not to know what intellect is? With true intelligence, we go beyond conventional beliefs, presuppositions and concepts, and learn to perceive things as they are and not as we would like them to be. A wise man is not the one who says that he is wise, but the one who consciously acts as a wise man. In the era of globalization, who we are is not determined by where we are from, but by what we can and how we deal with the multitude of challenges.Celem artykułu jest podkreślenie roli umysłu w codziennym życiu, znaczenia intelektu i inteligencji. Zwrócenie uwagi na zmieniającą się rzeczywistość, sposób życia ludzi i ich myślenia, na siłę percepcji inteligencji w stosunku do intelektu, wskazanie istoty i rangi omawianego zagadnienia, pozostawienie pola do podjęcia własnych badań. Projekt / metodologia / podejście: Metodą badawczą zastosowaną w artykule jest analiza opracowań naukowych uzupełniona spostrzeżeniami i doświadczeniem autora. Procedura badawcza obejmowała przegląd literatury polskiej i zagranicznej, analizę aktów prawnych, metodę analizy i syntezy, studium przypadku i dedukcyjne rozumowanie. W artykule powołano się na przykłady, przywołano opracowania związane z tematyką zagospodarowania ludzkiego umysłu. Wskazano czynniki, takie jak – intelekt, inteligencja, wiedza i świadomość jako niezbędne atrybuty nowoczesnego człowieka. Wnioski: Wykazano zależność pomiędzy sposobem myślenia i poziomem intelektualnym odpowiedzialnym za odbiór i przetwarzanie informacji jako bazie racjonalnej decyzyjności. Zwrócono uwagę na rzeczywistość czyniącą osoby o niskim stopniu sprawności intelektualnej masą podatną na manipulację. Na utrzymujące się w społeczeństwie postawy nieracjonalności wynikające z niezrozumienia oraz braku świadomości co do skutków podejmowanych decyzji. Ograniczenia / implikacje badawcze: Ograniczenia otrzymanych rezultatów mogą wynikać z ograniczonej próby tekstowej w tym również ograniczonej analizy. Złożoność tytułowa sprowadza się do istoty zagadnienia intelektu i inteligencji i ich funkcjonowania, co pozostaje obszarem zmieniającym się i zawsze otwartym. Oryginalność / wartość: Przedstawione badania, analiza, wnioski i sugestie dostarczają praktycznych wskazówek nie tylko ludziom nauki, ale przede wszystkim przeciętnym obywatelom, głównie takim, którzy nie są świadomi tego, że każda zmiana cywilizacyjna ma wszechstronny wymiar i zobowiązuje. Dzisiaj nie wystarczy wiedzieć, jakie są nasze problemy i ograniczenia, by opanować emocje i uspokoić psychikę. Na potrzeby efektywnego działania nie można nie wiedzieć tego, czym jest intelekt? Dzięki prawdziwej inteligencji wykraczamy poza utarte przekonania, założenia poczynione z góry i koncepcje oraz uczymy się postrzegać rzeczy takimi, jakie są a nie takimi, jakimi chcielibyśmy, by one były. Człowiek mądry to nie ten, co mówi, że mądry, ale ten co świadomie postępuje, jak człowiek mądry. W dobie globalizacji o tym, kim jesteśmy nie decyduje, skąd jesteśmy, ale to, co potrafimy i jak sobie z wielością wyzwań radzimy

The state of law or the law of the state?

Rule of law is a collection of institutions that each society fulfills differently. The rule of law is a wider and more complex phenomenon than the courts and judges themselves. The rule of law cannot be based solely on the heroism of an individual or group of one or another category of persons. The rule of law must be a natural component of the legal order. The concept of the primacy of the role of the Constitution - requires the reliable cooperation of at least three authorities - legislative, executive and judicial authorities. Occasional and opportunistic legislation, not much in common with the rule of law. The law is not what we imagine, but what the responsible legislator has established. "There is no more cruel tyranny than that practiced in the shadow of laws and in the colors of justice." What are the rule of law? Can state power influence courts? Whether parliamentary majority equals omnipotence is the main theme of the proposed presentation. The author's assumption is to indicate the essence of the issue in an interdisciplinary approach, to pay attention to its multidimensionality and social importance, leaving the field to undertake own research

Mobbing in the Polish legal order

Regardless of how we treat mobbing - as a disease of civilization, or perhaps social incorrectness, mobbing is a social phenomenon - a form of rivalry of being better than others. Mobbing is not much talked about, shyly spelled, even less is counteracted. The aim of the study is to draw attention to the phenomenon of mobbing. To signal the necessity of introducing appropriate legal regulations into Polish law. Definitions of mobbing, problems with its detection, awareness of the scale of the threat and encouraging the joint initiative of the legislator, employers and employees. Introducing continuous monitoring, performing mobbing analyzes, which will contribute to increasing public awareness, will affect the effect of dealing with this problem. In a stripped down manner, the author presents the regulations of Polish law regarding mobbing. In the outline, he discusses the situations leading to the creation of mobbing, the legal consequences resulting from this fact, presents the ways of seeking redress and damages before the court. He analyzes the binding legal regulations regarding mobbing critically, pointing to the directions of their improvement as an incentive to undertake own research
