Modeling of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Using Dynamic Random Networks in an ABM Framework
2023
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the fundamental principle of population genetics. In this article, we present a new NetLogo model called “Hardy-Weinberg Basic model v 2.0”, characterized by a strict adherence to the original assumptions made by Hardy and Weinberg in 1908. A particularly significant feature of this model is that the algorithm does not make use of the binomial expansion formula. Instead, we show that using a procedure based on dynamic random networks, diploid equilibrium can be achieved spontaneously by a population of agents reproducing sexually in a Mendelian fashion. The model can be used to conduct simulations with a wide range of initial population sizes and genotype distr…

Playing with Time in Digital Fiction
2015
The exceptional quality of digital fictions lies in their inherently dynamic nature, how they may be flexibly programmed to generate new content and alter the already existing contents. This adds a new temporal level, compared to traditional fictions. Digital games, especially, incorporate aspects of simulation and narration in their structure. As interactive and dynamic media form, games are specifically temporal in nature. They offer us the flexibility and preciseness of digital simulations, with the potential of psychologically engaging narrative qualities, which together open up a whole new field of experimenting with temporally dynamic media. Much of the new media fictions partake in a…
Forward and backward diffusion approximations for haploid exchangeable population models
2001
Abstract The class of haploid population models with non-overlapping generations and fixed population size N is considered such that the family sizes ν1,…,νN within a generation are exchangeable random variables. A criterion for weak convergence in the Skorohod sense is established for a properly time- and space-scaled process counting the number of descendants forward in time. The generator A of the limit process X is constructed using the joint moments of the offspring variables ν1,…,νN. In particular, the Wright–Fisher diffusion with generator Af(x)= 1 2 x(1−x)f″(x) appears in the limit as the population size N tends to infinity if and only if the condition lim N→∞ E((ν 1 −1) 3 )/(N Var …
Literacka próba budzenia tożsamości narodowej Białorusinów. Uładzimir Karatkievič. Życie i droga twórcza
2016
The article aims to present life and work of an outstanding Belarusian writer – Uladzimir Karatkievich (1930–1984). Although the writer is one of the most prominent creators of the Belarusian literature, he is not widely known in Poland. Moreover, only a few of his works have been translated into Polish. Uladzimir Karatkievich was one of the most talented writers in the history of his nation. First of all, he is known as an author of historical novels. He was also an excellent playwright, a literary critic, a historian, a translator and a talented poet. Due to many historical and political reasons he has become for Belarusian literature like Henryk Sienkiewicz or Ignacy Kraszewski for the P…
Sosialismi ja utopia tänään : vastausvuorossa Erik Olin Wright
2018
”On mahdollista ajatella pyrkimystä uudistaa yhteiskuntaa perinpohjaisesti.” Erik Olin Wright (s. 1947) on kuulunut maailman huomatuimpiin sosiologeihin 70-luvulta lähtien. Yhdysvaltalaisprofessorin vahva panos tuntuu erityisesti teorioissa luokasta ja työstä. Hän on tullut tunnetuksi myös tavastaan käyttää ’utopian’ käsitettä marxilaisessa yhteiskunta-analyysissa. Oikeaoppisuuden sijaan Wrightia ohjaa halu selvittää, miten maailma toimii. ”Kompromisseista kieltäytyminen ja vaatimus puhtaudesta johtavat epäonnistumisiin.” nonPeerReviewed
Writing and Misleading on Screen: Atonement (Ian McEwan/Joe Wright)
2008
How does the film adaptation of Atonement by Joe Wright find original ways to adapt what lies at the core of the novel by Ian McEwan—the ins and outs of writing? The film endeavours to transfer, cinematically or not, the metafictional and definitely postmodern dimensions in McEwan's story. Wright first works on point of view, sticking to young Briony's in the first part and elaborating on her re-vision and revisiting of events the meaning of which she thinks she can grasp. But seeing is constantly equated with writing in the novel, and Wright's film convincingly plays around this equation. “Writing on screen” it does indeed, either thematically—with the definitions and aims of writing accor…

Luokasta utopiaan : Erik Olin Wrightin myöhäistuotannosta
2020
Katsausartikkelissa tarkastellaan yhdysvaltalaisen marxilaissosiologi Erik Olin Wrightin niin sanottuihin todellisiin utopioihin kohdistunutta tutkimusta. Artikkelissa avataan sekä sitä, kuinka Wrightin todellisen utopian käsite tulisi ymmärtää, että sitä, kuinka hänen oma utopiansa eli ”sosiaalinen sosialismi” voisi olla mahdollinen ja millaiset tosimaailman kokeilut hänen mukaansa ennakoivat ja prefiguroivat tätä utopiaa. Lisäksi artikkelissa eritellään Wrightin käsityksiä antikapitalismin strategioista ja näiden myötä siitä, millä tavalla sosiaalisen sosialismin utopia olisi saavutettavissa. Artikkeli keskittyy erityisesti kahteen Wrightin myöhäistuotannon teokseen – Envisioning Real Uto…
