Dynamizacja procesów cywilizacyjnych, warunkiem transformacji współczesnej ukraińskiej i polskiej szkoły
2018
Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest określenie transformacji współczesnej szkoły na Ukrainie i w Polsce w kontekście zmian cywilizacyjnych. Wskazano czynniki, które mogą przyczynić się do jej powstania, rozwoju, a także zasugerowano zmianę podstawowych aspektów polskiej i ukraińskiej edukacji w celu sprostania wymaganiom współczesnego świata. Współczesne przemiany edukacyjne winny opierać się na strategii, opartej na procesie uczenia się na przestrzeni całego życia. Artykuł ma także na celu ukazanie znaczenia systemu edukacyjnego jako zjawiskа społecznego, podkreśla się znaczenie projektowo-technologicznej kultury nauczyciela w kontekście wprowadzania reform edukacyjnych
Optically pumped Cs magnetometers enabling a high-sensitivity search for the neutron electric dipole moment
2020
An array of 16 laser-pumped scalar Cs magnetometers was part of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) experiment taking data at the Paul Scherrer Institute in 2015 and 2016. It was deployed to measure the gradients of the experiment's magnetic field and to monitor their temporal evolution. The originality of the array lies in its compact design, in which a single near-infrared diode laser drives all magnetometers that are located in a high-vacuum chamber, with a selection of the sensors mounted on a high-voltage electrode. We describe details of the Cs sensors' construction and modes of operation, emphasizing the accuracy and sensitivity of the magnetic-field readout. We present two app…
Measuring and Modelling Evaporation Losses from Wet Branches of Lemon Trees
2022
Evaporation losses of rainfall intercepted by canopies depend on many factors, including the temporal scale of observations. At the event scale, interception is a few millimetres, whereas at a larger temporal scale, the number of times that a canopy is filled by rainfall and then depleted can make the interception an important fraction of the rainfall depth. Recently, a simplified interception/evaporation model has been proposed, which considers a modified Merrian model to compute interception during wet spells and a simple power-law equation to model evaporation from wet canopy during dry spells. Modelling evaporation process at the sub hourly temporal scale required the two parameters of …
Differential Effects of Interruptions and Distractions on Working Memory Processes in an ERP Study
2020
Interruptions (interfering stimuli to respond to) and distractions (interfering stimuli to be ignored) have been shown to negatively impact performance, particularly in tasks requiring working memory (WM). This study investigated how these two types of external interference affect task performance and attentional and WM processes as indexed by specific event-related potentials (ERPs) of the EEG. A Continuous Number Task (CNT) was applied, in which participants had to either decide whether the current number (condition without WM load) or the sum of the current and the preceding number (condition with WM load) was odd or even while responding to interlaced single letters (interruptions) or i…
Developmental dyslexia: Visual abnormalities during ocular rotation
2005
[u]Purpose[/u]: Most of the studies dealing with visual perception disabilities in children suffering from developmental dyslexia have been done in orthophoric position. The objective of the present study is to explore the visual perception during eye movements. [u]Methods[/u]: Sixty male patients (11.8 ± 1.8 years) were examined by neuropsychologists to evaluate reading difficulties. Visual perception during ocular rotation was assessed with a Clement Clarke synoptophore with G3–G4 slides, in primary gaze, then laterally at 20, 30 and 40° in dim light. [u]Results[/u]: Three main abnormalities were found. • Isolated perception abnormalities with intermittent shading of the image, central, p…
Sedimentology and vertebrate fossils of the Frasnian Ogre Formation, Gurova outcrops, eastern Latvia
2020
Combined sedimentological and palaeontological study of the siliciclastic sequence of the Ogre Formation in the easternmost area of its distribution in Latvia was aimed at the facies analysis of the deposits and at detailed observation of the taxonomical and taphonomical peculiarities of the fossil vertebrate assemblage. Two facies associations, tidally-influenced fluvial channels and lateral tidal bars, have been identified in exposures along the Gurova River. Sedimentological evidences suggest that the studied deposits were formed in the fluvial environment with strong tidal influence. The sedimentary concentrations of vertebrate remains, dominated by the antiarch Bothriolepis maxima, por…
Depositional environment of the tidally-dominated transgressive succession: Rēzekne and Pärnu regional stages, Baltic devonian basin
2013
Disertācijas pētijumu tēma ir veltīta Rēzeknes un Pernavas reģionālo stāvu nogulumu fāciju pētījumiem un to uzkrāšanās vides rekonstrukcijai Baltijā. Agrākie pētījumi šajā devona klastisko nogulumu slāņkopas daļā tika veltīti galvenokārt litoloģiskiem, mineraloģiskiem un stratigrāfiskiem pētījumiem, kā arī nogulumu sastāva pētījumiem baseina austrumdaļā. Detalizēti pētījumi ar mērķi rekonstruēt kopējo baseina attīstību līdz sim netika veikti. Tādēļ, Rēzeknes un Pērnavas reģionalo stavu slāņkopas veidošanas apstākļi bija maz zināmi, kā arī diskutabli. Pēdējo desmit gadu laikā fāciju analīzes loma seno baseinu rekonstrukcijās tika plaši pielietota vidus un augšdevona klastiskās slāņkopas pētī…
Exploiting Data Analytics and Deep Learning Systems to Support Pavement Maintenance Decisions
2021
Road networks are critical infrastructures within any region and it is imperative to maintain their conditions for safe and effective movement of goods and services. Road Management, therefore, plays a key role to ensure consistent efficient operation. However, significant resources are required to perform necessary maintenance activities to achieve and maintain high levels of service. Pavement maintenance can typically be very expensive and decisions are needed concerning planning and prioritizing interventions. Data are key towards enabling adequate maintenance planning but in many instances, there is limited available information especially in small or under-resourced urban road authorit…
La suprema giurisdizione nella Sardegna moderna. Travagli della Real Audiencia (1564-1651)
2019
The institution of the Real Audiencia in the kingdom of Sardinia since the 1560s is part of a wider process which saw the rise and development of royal supreme courts of justice in several European countries of the early modern period. In fact, major State formation processes all around Europe required that monarchs increased their control on local authorities and that new increasingly centralised systems of judicial review gained precedence over all particular jurisdictions, feudal as well as municipal. This brought about a dramatic transformation in the field of criminal law enforcement and administration of justice.
Revisiting the Solid Flux Theory
2022
Several variations of the basic activated sludge process and of the related design procedures for final clarifiers have been developed, which are frequently based on the well-known solid flux theory (SFT). In this paper, by using the Lambert W function and a “virtual” solid flux corresponding to the Vesilind parameters’ ratio, the SFT is reformulated, and dimensionless groups are detected, which highly reduce the number of parameters that are involved in the final clarifiers’ design procedure. The derived dimensionless relationships and the corresponding plots have general validity since they can be applied to all the possible design/verification parameter combinatio…
