Nowe dane o występowaniu lądowych pluskwiaków rożnoskrzydłych (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) na Pobrzeżu Bałtyku
2018
Niniejsza praca prezentuje nowe dane o występowaniu pluskwiaków różnoskrzydłych na Pobrzeżu Bałtyku. Spośród 131 gatunków zebranych z 27 różnych lokalizacji osiem jest nowych dla krainy: Acetropis gimmerthalii, Agramma femorale, Chartoscirta cocksi, Grypocoris sexguttatus, Hallodapus rufescens, Nithecus jacobaeae, Rhynocoris iracundus, Trapezonotus desertus
Pierwsze stwierdzenie długoskrzydłego okazu Prostemma aeneicolle Stein, 1857 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nabidae) na Dolnym Śląsku
2021
[The first discovery of the long-winged Prostemma aeneicolle Stein, 1857 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nabidae) specimen in Lower Silesia]. Prostemma aeneicolle occurs most often as a short-winged specimen, and long-winged individuals are infre-quent. Such a specimen was found for the second time in Poland and for the first time in Lower Silesia. The first occurrence of this species in Opole was also reported.
Two-twistor particle models and free massive higher spin fields
2015
We present D=3 and D=4 models for massive particles moving in a new type of enlarged spacetime, with D-1 additional vector coordinates, which after quantization lead to the towers of massive higher spin (HS) free fields. Two classically equivalent formulations are presented: one with a hybrid spacetime/bispinor geometry and a second described by a free two-twistor dynamics with constraints. After quantization in the D=3 and D=4 cases, the wave functions are given as functions on the SL(2,R) and SL(2,C) group manifolds respectively, and describe arbitrary on-shell momenta and spin degrees of freedom. Finally, the D=6 case and possible supersymmetric extensions are mentioned.
A cross‐cultural and multi‐behavioral analysis of the relationship between nonverbal immediacy and teacher evaluation
1995
Nonverbal immediacy of teachers has been demonstrated to be substantially associated with increased cognitive and affective learning in students. The assumption underlying the current research is that teacher communication behaviors that enhance student learning will also enhance positive evaluations of teachers by those students. This study sought to determine what specific teacher nonverbal immediacy behaviors are most associated with students' evaluations of their teachers. Our research was based on data drawn from the cultures of Australia, Finland, and Puerto Rico as well as the dominant United States culture. Each study was conducted in the primary language of the sample studied. The …
Identification of Vulnerable Groups in Terms of Language Proficiency in Higher Education
2021
The language proficiency of university students is considered a key factor for knowledge acquisition and success in higher education. Recent research has revealed a connection between language proficiency and academic performance. Some studies identified certain groups of learners who show deficits in language proficiency when entering higher education and who can be considered to be vulnerable groups who need particular support. The present study analyzes the level of proficiency in the language of instruction among two vulnerable groups of students at the beginning of their university studies: (i) students with a refugee background and a mother tongue other than English enrolled in Englis…

COPING WITH PEACE AFTER A DEBACLE
2008
This article analyzes a situation when the war was actually over and society began to recover. The government faced a severe challenge after the war. These serious problems will be analyzed in the light of the Great Northern War (1700–1721). The plans of the central government to stabilize society will be analyzed, as will the different kinds of planning activities undertaken by the authorities. The critical nature of the situation led the government to concentrate solely on short‐term planning. The government had no proper strategies; there were just a couple of exceptions to this rule. Firstly, the problems in Finland were repeatedly concrete and tangible. This made them both easy to addr…
Drawing and Project at the VChUTEMAS. Graphic Interpretations
2019
The article deals with the graphic study of the project for the Kominern Palace designed in 1929 by Lidija Komarova, one of the students of the Russian Laboratories known by the acronym VChUTEMAS, founded in 1920 in Moscow. Strongly characterized by the revolutionary atmosphere that was delineating the artistic progress based on the synthesis of all the plastic arts, the Russian Laboratories attributed to the architecture a position of the first order, a perfect association between the scientific possibility and the art technique. The redrawing of this project allows to deepen the compositional principles of the new architectural formation of the Eastern European avant-garde, providing digi…
La voz de una autoridad heterodoxa sobre el amor en el primer franquismo. Los consultorios sentimentales de Amparo Rivelles
2021
Entre 1948 y 1952, el semanario cinematográfico Primer plano publicó un consultorio sentimental firmado por la actriz Amparo Rivelles. La estrella española más popular del momento se convertía así en consejera sobre la moral, el noviazgo y los usos amorosos entre los jóvenes; una cuestión que el Régimen consideraba como una pieza fundamental en la regulación de las relaciones de género. Se trata de un consultorio singular, alejado de la gravedad, el dramatismo y la grandilocuencia de otros, surgidos en diversos medios periodísticos a raíz de la buena acogida de público que estas secciones gozaron durante aquellos años. El presente artículo analiza las implicaciones de unos textos en los que…
