Obtaining the Weyl tensor from the Bel-Robinson tensor
2010
The algebraic study of the Bel-Robinson tensor proposed and initiated in a previous work (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. {\bf 41}, see ref [11]) is achieved. The canonical form of the different algebraic types is obtained in terms of Bel-Robinson eigen-tensors. An algorithmic determination of the Weyl tensor from the Bel-Robinson tensor is presented.
Pojęcia definicji i quasi-definicji perswazyjnej
2016
Charles L. Stevenson w swoim dobrze znanym artykule pt. Persuasive definitions wprowadza pojęcie definicji perswazyjnej – narzędzia argumentacyjnego, które umożliwia mówcy zmianę preferencji i postawy słuchaczy poprzez zmianę treści pojęciowej (znaczenia opisowego) definiowanego słowa. Na marginesie tej analizy wprowadzone zostaje także pojęcie quasi-definicji perswazyjnej. Dzięki temu narzędziu zmieniającym znaczenie pojęciowe, można zmienić lub zniszczyć znaczenie emotywne quasi-definiowanego słowa. To, co sprawia, że użytkowanie tych narzędzi argumentacyjnych jest możliwe, to przede wszystkim brak wyraźnej treści znaczeniowej terminów, które mają być zdefiniowane perswazyjnie lub quasi-p…
The Action Principles in Mechanics
2001
We begin this chapter with the definition of the action functional as time integral over the Lagrangian \(L(q_{i}(t),\dot{q}_{i}(t);t)\) of a dynamical system: $$\displaystyle{ S\left \{[q_{i}(t)];t_{1},t_{2}\right \} =\int _{ t_{1}}^{t_{2} }dt\,L(q_{i}(t),\dot{q}_{i}(t);t)\;. }$$
Obraz wspólnoty katolickiej w polskim dyskursie religijnym
2018
The aim of the article is to analyse contemporary patriotic preaching. It proves that the ethnocentrism of the Church in Poland, has an ethnically based definition of sacrum, limiting one's view to the Polish national community. As a consequence 'we'in such discourse is an equivalent of 'we, the Polish people'. Christian (or generally: human, universal) attitude is not evident. In the first part of the article the main elements of religious discourse are presented: type of speaker (hierarchs of the Church - archbishops, bishops), occasions (national and religious celebrations), places (cathedral, basilica, Jasna Góra Monastery). In the second part of the article, its author analyses a sermo…
Cualificación, socialización y terciarización
2018
During the last two decades the problem of skill has come to be a key theme in debates about active employment policies and strategies for economic modemization. In such debates the concept of skill tends to be employed in a manner which does not reflect its complexity. The article seeks to remedy this. First it makes the distinction between the socio-cultural and the technical/professional dimensions of the concept ( the technical/professional can be further broken down into explicit and tacit skills.). Secondly, the distinction is made between the skills of the worker (effective) and the skills associated with the job he/she occupies (nominal) and the possibility of a lack of fit between …
Putting documents into their work context in document analysis
2000
In trying to achieve document standardization the goal is to find more effective, consistent, and standardized ways to utilize information technology. The specification and implementation of document standards may take several years requiring a profound analysis and understanding of document management practices. Document standardization does not concern documents only: it concerns workers, their work, business partners, and future systems as well. In this paper we discuss two ways of describing the work context of documents: process modelling and life cycle modelling. In process modelling, documents are regarded as resources produced and used in inter- or intra-organizational business proc…
A Non-linear Diffeomorphic Framework for Prostate Multimodal Registration
2011
International audience; This paper presents a novel method for non-rigid registration of prostate multimodal images based on a nonlinear framework. The parametric estimation of the non-linear diffeomorphism between the 2D fixed and moving images has its basis in solving a set of non-linear equations of thin-plate splines. The regularized bending energy of the thin-plate splines along with the localization error of established correspondences is jointly minimized with the fixed and transformed image difference; where, the transformed image is represented by the set of non-linear equations defined over the moving image. The traditional thin-plate splines with established correspondences may p…
Introduction to chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).
2007
Prostatitis is the most frequently diagnosed illness in men under 50, accounting for about 8% of all consultations with urologists. Estimates based on published studies suggest that the incidence of prostatitis in the population is somewhere between 4% and 11%. In 1995 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) classified prostatitis into 4 main categories: 1) acute bacterial; 2) chronic bacterial; 3) pelvic pain syndrome; 4) asymptomatic inflammatory. The aetiological agent most often involved is bacterial, particularly the category of Gram (-) bacteria, followed by Gram (+), chlamydiae and mycoplasms; however many cases of prostatitis are caused by bacteria which are difficult to isolate or …
The concept of major depression. I. Descriptive comparison of six competing operational definitions including ICD-10 and DSM-III-R.
1991
All operationalized diagnostic systems contain a diagnostic category, which corresponds to the concept of major depression. Yet, these corresponding definitions are not identical. Up to now, no comprehensive comparisons of the competing diagnoses have been published. We will therefore present a series of studies, describing six different operational definitions of major depression according to their content and construction and empirically comparing them in large inpatient and outpatient samples. This first paper presents a descriptive comparison of the definitions given in the Feighner Diagnostic Criteria, the Research Diagnostic Criteria, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Di…
The cognitive therapy of evaluation: Therapeutic techniques-[2]
1991
Abstract The main aim of this paper is to introduce the techniques used in cognitive therapy of evaluation. The Cognitive therapy of evaluation is being developed from the theoretical background of general semantics theory and it is a therapy based on language as an instrument of cognitive processes, and on the role it plays, through word-facts identification, in the development and treatment of emotional problems. The main techniques developed (abstraction orders and the extensional devices) and other therapeutic issues are introduced and explained.
