Greco-Slavic Index Verborum of the Cyrillo-Methodian Translation of The Gospels: A Discursive Article
Leszek Moszyński is a professor of Slavic Philology at Gdańsk University, Poland.Moszyński describes his work on a complete Greco-Slavic index verborum, including all words and all of their uses both in the Greek original text as well as the Slavic translation, in order to determine the translation techniques of SS. Cyril and Methodius as well as to reconstruct both the Greek variant of the Gospels used and the original version of the Slavic.Moszyński outlines the theoretical principles of his work (59-60), including discussion of specific areas where difficulties arise in the Greek and Slavic language systems: the article (61-62), the noun (62-63), the adjective (63), the verb (63-64). Moszyński gives examples of the dictionary entries for each part of speech (66-67) and then gives the statistical data on the parts of speech in Zographensis (67)
Institutional conditioning of the German labour market in the face of the global economic crisis 2008–2009
Aim: The scientific objective of this study is an attempt to clarify the institutional aspects of the functioning of the labour market in Germany that are relevant to the response to the global economic crisis of 2008–2009. Motivation: The reaction of German labour market was totally different than during previous recessions and the explanation of the sources of this response constitutes the main motivation to undertake this study. The considerations rely on the thesis that it could be attributed to the institutional infrastructure combined with clever economic policy of the state and responsible behaviour of social partners. The economic theory suggests how an isolated institution functions, but in the real world they works in the whole institutional network. Therefore the broader context and some linkages are mentioned. Results: After a brief review of the main macroeconomic indicators and selected labour market institutions in Germany in comparison to the OECD countries, the labour market reforms undertaken in the period between 2002 and 2007 will be discussed. Then, selected on the basis of literature studies, institutional buffers of the labour market mitigating shocks are examined with particular emphasis on the instruments of internal flexibility, social partners’ behaviour and institutional connections of labour markets with other domains of economic order. The elements of institutional framework are subject to qualitative analysis backed up by available official statistical data
Spectral Theory of Self-adjoint Finitely Cyclic Operators and Introduction to Matrix Measure -spaces
We study finitely cyclic self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space, i.e.
self-adjoint operators that posses such a finite subset in the domain that the
orbits of all its elements with respect to the operator are linearly dense in
the space. One of the main goals here is to obtain the representation theorem
for such operators in a form analogous to the one well-known in the cyclic
self-adjoint operators case. To do this, we present here a detailed
introduction to matrix measures, to the matrix measure spaces, and to the
multiplication by scalar functions operators in such spaces. This allows us to
formulate and prove in all the details the less known representation result,
saying that the finitely cyclic self-adjoint operator is unitary equivalent to
the multiplication by the identity function on in the appropriate
matrix measure space. We study also some detailed spectral problems for
finitely cyclic self-adjoint operators, like the absolute continuity.Comment: 51 pages. Draft versio
ORDOLIBERALISM AND THE MACROECONOMIC POLICY IN THE FACE OF THE EURO CRISIS
The global economic crisis and the crisis in the euro zone exposed the deep differences of opinion between German economists and scientists from Anglo-Saxon countries. The German approach conceptually differs in the views on the strategies and tools of anti-crisis policy, especially fiscal stimulus in the Keynesian-style, quantitative easing monetary policy of the ECB, the question of financial assistance to Greece and restructuring its debt. The other areas of difference are the approach to the rules in macroeconomic policy, fiscal consolidation, and interpretation of current account surplus. Given the size and performance of the German economy it is important to understand the reasons for these opposites, which constitute the research goal of this article. Considerations are based on the thesis that ordoliberal thought still has a strong impact on the practice of macroeconomic policy in Germany and also at the European level. The analysis is built on the short overview of ideological foundations of the German social market economy and its most important postulates, which then will be applied for interpretation of intellectual distinctions between economists from Germany and other countries in the theoretical and practical dimensions of the economic policy observed in Europe. The methodology includes the critical literature studies and the comparative analysis of macroeconomic policy through the prism of economic thought
Remarks on polynomial methods for solving systems of linear algebraic equations
summary:For a large system of linear algebraic equations , the approximate solution is computed as the -th order Fourier development of the function , related to orthogonal polynomials in space. The domain in the complex plane is assumed to be known. This domain contains the spectrum of the matrix . Two algorithms for are discussed.
Two possibilities of preconditioning by an application of the so called Richardson iteration process with a constant relaxation coefficient are proposed.
The case when Jordan blocs of higher dimension are present is discussed, with the following conslusion: in such a case application of the Sobolev space may be resonable, with equal to the dimension of the maximal Jordan bloc. The paper contains several numerical examples
Exit Strategies From the Crisis on the Example of the Baltic States
The aim of this paper is to analyze the macroeconomic policy of the Baltic states in response to the financial crisis of the years 2007-2010. The considerations are based on the thesis that the general direction of the macroeconomic policy chosen by the analyzed countries is correct. The consistent maintaining of a fixed exchange rate during the crisis aroused much controversy and was criticized in the literature. In the study, particular attention was paid to the issues of exchange rate, which has constituted the key element of the policy, both in the initial period of transformation, as well as in the times of recession. The first part of the study concentrates on the specificities of small open economies of the Baltic countries and on the determinants of their monetary and exchange rate policy. Subsequently, the economic situation of the Baltic republics in the face of the crisis was characterized, indicating the main factors increasing their vulnerability to economic shocks. The next subject of the analysis was the macroeconomic policies in response to the deep recession. The considerations were intended to assess the validity of maintaining a fixed exchange rate policy as a core element of an anti-crisis strategy. The methods used in solving the scientific problem were the critical literature studies and the analysis of macroeconomic indicators
Engineering an all-optical route to ultracold molecules in their vibronic ground state
We propose an improved photoassociation scheme to produce ultracold molecules
in their vibronic ground state for the generic case where non-adiabatic effects
facilitating transfer to deeply bound levels are absent. Formation of molecules
is achieved by short laser pulses in a Raman-like pump-dump process where an
additional near-infrared laser field couples the excited state to an auxiliary
state. The coupling due to the additional field effectively changes the shape
of the excited state potential and allows for efficient population transfer to
low-lying vibrational levels of the electronic ground state. Repetition of many
pump-dump sequences together with collisional relaxation allows for
accumulation of molecules in v=0.Comment: Phys. Rev. A, in pres
Economic order policies and fiscal rules in Federal Republic of Germany
W opracowaniu podjęto kwestię ogólnych koncepcji polityki ładu gospodarczego i ich aplikacji na przykładzie reguł fiskalnych stosowanych w polityce gospodarczej przez Niemcy. W rozważaniach autor wyszedł z założenia, iż tylko dzięki polityce ładu gospodarczego można rozwiązać nabrzmiałe problemy finansów publicznych w krajach Europy, wynikające z polityki dyskrecjonalnej. Na wstępie przybliżono główne założenia polityki ładu gospodarczego, po czym omówiono reguły fiskalne w Republice Federalnej Niemiec (RFN), które następnie poddano krytycznej analizie z perspektywy ordoliberalnej teorii ładu gospodarczego.The paper addresses the general concepts of economic order policies (Ordnungspolitik) and their application, as exemplified by the rules used in German economic policy. The author's premise is that only an economic order policy can solve urgent problems of European public finance sectors resulting from the long term discretionary policy. Firstly, the key objectives of the policy of economic order are introduced, then the fiscal rules applied in Germany are discussed, and are subsequently subjected to critical analysis from the perspective of the ordoliberal theory of economic order.Michał Moszyński: [email protected] Pysz: [email protected]ł Moszyński – Wydział Nauk Ekonomicznych i Zarządzania, Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w ToruniuPiotr Pysz – Wyższa Szkoła Finansów i Zarządzania w Białymstoku, FachhochschulefürWirtschaftund Technik Vechta/OldenburgAkerlof G.
