Formuliranje politike u promjenjivim uvjetima vlasti: kako izučavati sigurnosnu politiku tijekom njezina formuliranja

2008

The purpose of this paper is to deliberate the making of security policy in the EU-context, where national security discourse will increasingly face needs and demands to be melt together with a new kind of security discourse and policy of mainland Europe. By taking the viewpoint of a citizen of a modern nation-state, this paper wants to open the question of how citizens and their values are positioned in relation to the modern state and its security policy within this progress. In particular, as the two latter concepts are in motion towards some new essence. This article claims that the ongoing shaping of the new European security discourse, and values it is argued to contain, appears to ci…

Meandry politycznej kariery Andrzeja Lipskiego (1572-1631). Eksluteranin biskupem krakowskim

2018

Andrzej Lipski (1572–1631) pochodził ze średnioszlacheckiej rodziny wyznania lute- rańskiego. Studiował na uczelniach protestanckich (1582–1594 – Strasburg, Heidelberg) i katolickich (1603–1605 – Rzym), uzyskując doktorat obojga praw. Karierę Lipskiego w kancelarii koronnej przyspieszyło przejście na katolicyzm, obranie stanu duchowego i protekcja biskupa-podkanclerzego Piotra Tylickiego, wpływowego stronnika kanclerza Jana Zamoyskiego. Lipski należał wówczas do duchowieństwa państwowego, które słu- żyło królowi i Rzeczypospolitej, a dochody czerpało z beneficjów, o których uzyskanie łatwiej było przy dworze. Odejście z elity władzy Zamoyskiego jego stronników w 1605 r. oraz sympatyzowanie …

Improvements in Rational Design Strategies of Inulin Derivative Polycation for siRNA Delivery.

2016

The advances of short interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated therapy provide a powerful option for the treatment of many diseases, including cancer, by silencing the expression of targeted genes involved in the progression of the pathology. On this regard, a new pH-responsive polycation derived from inulin, Inulin-g-imidazole-g-diethylenetriamine (INU-IMI-DETA), was designed and employed to produce INU-IMI-DETA/siRNA "Inulin COmplex Nanoaggregates" (ICONs). The experimental results showed that INU-IMI-DETA exhibited strong cationic characteristics and high solubility in the pH range 3-5 and self-aggregation triggered by pH increase and physiological salt concentration. INU-IMI-DETA showed as well…

Enhanced chain dynamics in loop-sorting-systems by means of layout optimization and a kinematic model of the polygon action

2012

Published version of an article in the journal: Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00158-011-0743-7 Poor dynamics owing to polygon action is a known concern in mechanical applications of closed articulated chains. In this paper a kinematic model of the polygon action in large chains of loop-sorting-systems is proposed. Through optimization techniques the chain dynamics is improved by minimizing the polygon action using a parametric model of the track layout as design variables. Three formulations of the kinematic polygon action are tested on an average sized planer tracks layout to find a superior model. Verificati…

An algorithm based on the PPC (Polynomial Parametric Curve) for designing horizontal highway alignments

2015

Criteria for geometric design of highway alignments have been studied in various researches so far, providing new methods, as alternative to traditional approaches. They can be useful for obtaining better solutions, characterized by high performances in terms of motion safety and comfort. In particular, continuous curvature alignments, based on polynomial functions, are highly consistent solutions with users' driving behaviour and vehicle trajectories. Moreover, alignment geometry optimization allows engineers to minimize dynamic effects on drivers with considerable advantages in terms of comfort and safety. This paper carries on the research of a previous study, in which a polynomial param…

Multi-modality of polysomnography signals’ fusion for automatic sleep scoring

2019

Objective: The study aims to develop an automatic sleep scoring method by fusing different polysomnography (PSG) signals and further to investigate PSG signals’ contribution to the scoring result. Methods: Eight combinations of four modalities of PSG signals, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrocardiogram (ECG) were considered to find the optimal fusion of PSG signals. A total of 232 features, covering statistical characters, frequency characters, time-frequency characters, fractal characters, entropy characters and nonlinear characters, were derived from these PSG signals. To select the optimal features for each signal fusion, four wi…

Los poderes locales en la sociedad agraria : una propuesta de balance

2000

El artículo, derivado de la contribución al curso de verano celebrado en Águilas (Región de Murcia) en septiembre de 2000, sobre los diez últimos años de Historia Agraria en España, considera las investigaciones recientes acerca de los poderes locales en la sociedad agraria española desde el siglo XVIII. Se. destacan tanto los distintos enfoques metodológicos como los problemas principales en la evolución de las relaciones entre las clases sociales, el peso de la comunidad local y el contexto político de la sociedad rural. Se otorga una importancia especial a un cierto `ámbito comunitario` que, pese a los avances del individualismo agrario y de la diferenciación social, muestra actuar como …

Monetary policy and inequality from an inclusive and social banking perspective

2021

This doctoral thesis empirically evaluates the effects of monetary policy on income and wealth inequality in two of the main monetary areas of the world: the Eurozone and the United States. Moreover, in the case of the Eurozone, the interaction between the dynamics of income inequality and banking activity is evaluated, distinguishing between banking structures. Specifically, I empirically assess whether cooperative banks have a differential impact on the evolution of inequality with respect to other banking structures such as commercial banks or savings banks. Different macroeconometric (SVAR, Proxy SVAR) and microeconometric (simulations and estimations with panel data) methodologies have…
