Regulating Internet Trade in CITES Species
2013
International trade in species that are or may be endangered by collection from the wild is regulated under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES) for 176 member States (Parties). Internet commerce is a relatively new route for such trade. In 2007, the CITES Secretariat asked Parties to collect information on internet wildlife trade and report problems and implemented regulations. The reports indicated it was difficult to even approximate the influence of e-commerce on CITES-listed species (CITES Secretariat 2009). We report a case study in which we quantified international transactions over an internet auction site of CITES-listed cacti …
Google matrix analysis of worldwide football mercato
2018
[EN] The worldwide football transfer market is analyzed as a directed complex network: the football clubs are the network nodes and the directed edges are weighted by the total amount of money transferred from a club to another. The Google matrix description allows to treat every club independently of their richness and allows to measure for a given club the efficiency of player sales and player acquisitions. The PageRank algorithm, developed initially for the World Wide Web, naturally characterizes the ability of a club to import players. The CheiRank algorithm, also developed to analyze large scale directed complex networks, characterizes the ability of a club to export players. The analy…

Schweigen in Videokonferenzen: Vom Umgang mit Störungen in Online-Besprechungen
2020
This paper deals with silence in video-based discourse, which includes pauses and delays. The data of the study is provided by international video conferences in which six in-service teachers and six pre-service teachers from three countries (Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary) together with a moderator and an assistent discuss sequences of their lessons. These discussions are part of a teacher training progrmme as conceived and implemented in the Erasmus+ project LEELU (www.leelu.eu). The focus of the present study is to analyse through a multimodal approach how the above-mentioned moments of silence co-constitute the video-based interaction, and how the discourse is built up with the other m…

Pamiętny dzień przy bulwarze Quai d’Orsay, czyli początek politycznych zmagań o granice II Rzeczypospolitej na forum paryskiej konferencji pokojowej …
2021
Gdy zakończyły się działania militarne na frontach Wielkiej Wojny, uwaga międzynarodowej opinii publicznej przeniosła się z dowódców wojskowych na polityków. To oni, na forum licznych spotkań i konferencji, mieli ustalić nowy, powojenny porządek. W gronie zwycięskich mocarstw czołową rolę odegrali wówczas amerykański prezydent Thomas Woodrow Wilson oraz dwaj premierzy – Francji Georges Clemenceau i Wielkiej Brytanii David Lloyd George. Do ich najważniejszego, de facto kilkumiesięcznego spotkania, doszło w Paryżu w pierwszej połowie 1919 r., które było jednym z najważniejszych w historii całego minionego stulecia. Jego uczestnikiem była również polska delegacja, w której kluczową rolę odgryw…
Beyond Scientific Objectivity : Knowing about Right and Wrong
2007
Our way of seeing things depends upon the state of our minds. We can look at the world through the lenses of love, hate or indifference. What remains largely unquestioned about science is its essence. Scientific objectivity is not free from subjectivity. I argue that objective, scientific knowledge is a partial knowledge based on indifference, the state of mind that constitutes the scientific attitude. Hate does not produce knowledge at all, but reinforces our prejudices. However, love gives the possibility of knowing someone or something fully, and not only as an object. Once we accept that our experiences, thoughts, and feelings are not incommunicable, we can arrive at inter-subjective an…
