Zajadkowate (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) Polski: przegląd systematyczny, rozmieszczenie, klucz do oznaczania / Assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Hete…
2019
This paper summarises the distribution of eleven species of the family Reduviidae in Poland basing on literature data and new re-cords. Coranus aethiops is for the first time reported from Poland. Moreover, the key for identification of species occurring in Poland is also provided. High quality graphics have been prepared for each species, and in some cases, photos from nature were also included.
How Effective are Business Ethics/CSR Courses in Higher Education?
2016
AbstractConcern is increasing worldwide for introducing dedicated courses on business ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in higher education curricula. In this study, awareness of business ethics is investigated from a sample of 307 undergraduate and postgraduate management students at a Polish university. This investigation aims at assessing management students’ awareness of business ethics issues, focusing on the potential differences in such perceptions depending on previous business ethics/CSR courses taken. Surprisingly, our results do not match prior findings in the extant literature. Notably, in our sample, having taken previous courses on business ethics/CSR does not p…
Business Ethics as a Sustainability Challenge: Higher Education Implications
2018

Hence, under an overall economic and social sustainability approach, it is crucial to improve the effectiveness of business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) education, in terms of its impact on business students&rsquo
An Overview of Public Concerns During the Recovery Period after a Major Earthquake: Nepal Twitter Analysis
2016
In responding to disasters, Twitter is extensively used, both for information exchange and mapping the crisis, among citizens, and in relation to national and international humanitarian responders. This paper reports Twitter analysis aimed at identifying the most pressing issues that arose in the short term recovery phase starting about a week after the Nepal earthquake, including the heretofore neglected topic of mismatch between international relief and local cultures. Based on Twitter data collected between April 30th and May 6th 2015. 1,074,864 raw messages apparently related to the Nepal earthquake were retrieved, filtered and analyzed. This exploratory adapts established frameworks fo…

'Instructional Manuscripts in England: the Tenth- and Eleventh-Century Codices and the Early Norman Ones'
2007
The essay offers a definition of the kind of manuscript which might have been employed for instructional purposes in late Anglo-Saxon England. The work is based on a complete survey of the content of the Anglo-Saxon manuscripts dating from the tenth to the twelfth century; a full list of such mss is provided in the Appendix. The educational texts in use in the Middle Ages generally occurred within a distinctive category of miscellaneous codices. As far as Anglo-Saxon England is concerned, it is possible to single out a number of ‘instructional’ manuscripts, with diverse but somehow consistent items. The range of educational texts comprised grammar primers as well as some classical and sever…
The high precision measurement of the 144Ce activity in the SOX experiment
2015
International audience; In order to perform a resolutive measurement to clarify the neutrino anomalies and to observe possible short distance neutrino oscillations, the SOX (Short distance neutrino Oscillations with BoreXino) experiment is under construction. In the first phase, a 100 kCi (144)Ce-(144)Pr antineutrino source will be placed under the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), in center of Italy, and the rate measurement of the antineutrino events, observed by the very low radioactive background Borexino detector, will be compared with the high precision (< 1%) activity measurement performed by two calorimeters. The source will be embedded in a 19 mm …

Werewolves and warning signs: Cultural responses to tropical cyclones in Mauritius
2022
The role that culture plays in the way different groups experience, respond to, and recover from disasters has been widely discussed. Yet, while there is a considerable (and growing) literature of case study evidence for the need to account for culture in disasters, comparatively few studies take a long-term perspective on cultural interactions with disasters, resulting in a lack of exploration into the diachronic nature of these cultural responses, both past and present. The literature that does exist tends also to focus either on western cultures or on groups that pursue highly traditional livelihoods. Communities that call on elements of both local or vernacular knowledge and scientific …
El sexismo de la revista satírica El Papus (1973-1987). La lacra que cuestiona su papel liberador en la Transición española
2020
espanolSe investiga el papel de la revista satirica El Papus, contrapoder informativo durante la Transicion espanola, en la detraccion de la lacra social del machismo. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo el analisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de los comentarios y roles asignados a la mujer en una muestra de 4.661 piezas publicadas en todo su periplo (1973-1987) y registradas en una base de datos relacional. Por un lado, esta vision androcentrica fue fruto de una redaccion mayoritariamente formada y dirigida por hombres que tratan de satisfacer las necesidades de un publico constituido por hombres (80%) reprimidos sexualmente; y, por otro lado, busco tambien la provocacion de los represores poder…
