Fundacje zakładane przez osoby prawne kościoła katolickiego w Polsce a fundacje pobożne
2013
Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza statusu prawnego fundacji zakładanych przez osoby prawne Kościoła katolickiego, o których mowa w art. 26 konkordatu między Stolicą Apostolską i Rzecząpospolitą Polską z 1993 r. i art. 58 ustawy z dnia 17 maja 1989 r. o stosunku Państwa do Kościoła Katolickiego w Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (fundacje kościelne) oraz pobożnych fundacji, o których mowa w przepisach Kodeksu Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 r. Ponadto w artykule poruszono zagadnienie wpływu systemu prawa polskiego i systemu prawa kanonicznego na działalność wymienionych fundacji. Przeprowadzone analizy prowadzą do wniosku, że fundacje zakładane przez osoby prawne Kościoła katolickiego na forum państwowym…
A weighted logistic regression for conjoint analysis and Kansei engineering
2007
Customer needs for emotional satisfaction are increasingly being considered by product and service designers. While several existing methods such as conjoint analysis (CA), Kano model and quality function deployment support the translation of customer requirements into technical specifications, researchers are now working to develop methods aimed at integrating affective aspects into product design. Kansei engineering (KE) is a design philosophy that considers customer perceptions and emotions by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach. CA is a useful tool within a KE project. This article presents a methodology for conducting a KE project in early development phases. This methodology is bas…
A comparative study on Saudi and Japanese in-service teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education and self-efficacy in inclusive practices
2021
Although providing equal educational opportunity for all children is the common goal for inclusive education around the world, the way of implementation is influenced by cultural, historical, and socioeconomic factors of each country. This study aims to compare Saudi and Japanese teachers’ attitudes and self-efficacy in inclusive education. Data were collected from 185 Saudi and 359 Japanese in-service teachers using a survey. Quantitative analysis revealed that there was no difference between Saudi and Japanese teachers’ attitudes towards including students with disabilities. The Japanese teachers’ overall self-efficacy was lower than that of the Saudi teachers, but this result was discuss…
Membrane Fouling Mitigation in MBR via the Feast–Famine Strategy to Enhance PHA Production by Activated Sludge
2022
Fouling is considered one of the main drawbacks of membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology. Among the main fouling agents, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are considered one of the most impactful since they cause the decrease of sludge filterability and decline of membrane flux in the long term. The present study investigated a biological strategy to reduce the membrane-fouling tendency in MBR systems. This consisted of seeding the reactor with activated sludge enriched in microorganisms with polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) storage ability and by imposing proper operating conditions to drive the carbon toward intracellular (PHA) rather than extracellular (EPS) accumulation. For that purpos…
Influence functions and efficiencies of the canonical correlation and vector estimates based on scatter and shape matrices
2006
In this paper, the influence functions and limiting distributions of the canonical correlations and coefficients based on affine equivariant scatter matrices are developed for elliptically symmetric distributions. General formulas for limiting variances and covariances of the canonical correlations and canonical vectors based on scatter matrices are obtained. Also the use of the so-called shape matrices in canonical analysis is investigated. The scatter and shape matrices based on the affine equivariant Sign Covariance Matrix as well as the Tyler's shape matrix serve as examples. Their finite sample and limiting efficiencies are compared to those of the Minimum Covariance Determinant estima…
Das kompositorische Verfahren in Jean Moutons Quadrupelkanon Nesciens mater virgo virum
2012
Anhand der kompositorischen Probleme, die sich bei der Konzeption mehr als zweistimmiger Kanons ergeben, wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie der konkrete Kompositionsprozess um 1500 ausgesehen haben konnte. Eine Analyse von Jean Moutons Motette Nesciens mater zeigt, dass die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Kanonkonzeption, Klangfolge und melodischer Gestaltung eine simultane Kompositionsweise voraussetzen, in der die Klangfolge wechselnde Verhaltnisbestimmungen als Resultat und Voraussetzung der kontrapunktischen Konfiguration erfahrt: Der Wechsel von der Sukzessiv- zur Simultankonzeption erscheint in Bezug auf komplexe Kanonbildungen als ein verfahrenstechnisches Erfordernis.
Integrated initial and continuing training as a way of developing the professional agency of teachers and student teachers
2020
In this paper, we discuss training aimed at supporting the professional agency of teachers and student teachers. Drawing on socio-cultural and post-structural theories, we conceptualize professional agency as achieved by participation in professional practices. We employ our conceptualization in an analysis of a Finnish pilot training that combined initial and continuous training for preschool and primary school teachers. We argue that the practices of reflection and collective enquiry inherent in the model offer a fruitful starting point for further efforts to understand how to support the development of the professional agency of teachers and student teachers simultaneously. peerReviewed
Outcomes of teacher education in Finland: subject teachers compared with primary teachers
2019
An exit survey performed for graduating students is an economical way to assess the outcomes of teacher education. In this study, exit survey data were collected from eight cohorts of Finnish student teachers who graduated between the years 2008 and 2015. A final sample consisted of 1102 preservice primary and subject teachers. A 10-item scale based on INTASC standards of teacher competency was used to measure graduates’ satisfaction regarding the knowledge and experience they had attained. This paper concentrates especially on the results of subject teachers and comparisons between the two teacher categories. The profile of the participants was uneven across domains. The highest means were…
Effect of the applied organic load rate on biodegradable polymer production by mixed microbial cultures in a Sequencing Batch Reactor
2006
This article studies the operation of a new process for the production of biopolymers (polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs) at different applied organic load rates (OLRs). The process is based on the aerobic enrichment of activated sludge to obtain mixed cultures able to store PHAs at high rates and yields. A mixture of acetic, lactic, and propionic acids at different concentrations (in the range 8.5-31.25 gCOD/L) was fed every 2 h in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The resulting applied OLR was in the range 8.5-31.25 gCOD/L/day. Even though, as expected, the increase in the OLR caused an increase in biomass concentration (up to about 8.7 g COD/L), it also caused a relevant decrease of maximal po…
Didaktische Möglichkeiten für die Erschließung und Popularisierung 'anspruchsvoller' deutschsprachiger Literatur
2021
Artykuł odnosi się do pytania o definicję ‚wymagającej‘ literatury niemieckojęzycznej, która powinna zostać zaliczona do kanonu kształcenia germanistycznego. Z tego założenia rodzi się kolejne pytanie odnośnie określenia kanonu literackiego: Czy takowy w dzisiejszej rzeczywistości uniwersyteckiego kształcenia filologicznego w ogóle występuje? Odpowiadając na te pytania uwzględnione zostaną wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w ramach seminariów literaturoznawczych i kulturoznawczych, przeprowadzonych w latach 2017–2020 oscylujących wokół wybranych tekstów Ricardy Huch, które zostały zaprezentowane lokalnej publiczności zainteresowanej kulturą i literaturą niemiecką.
