Beetles (Coleoptera) in the Tarnowskie Góry-Bytom Subterranean System
2017
Badania gatunków chrząszczy (Coleoptera), które przeprowadzono w jednym z największych sztucznych podziemnych systemów w Europie (Podziemia TarnogórskoBytomskie). W wyniku rocznych badań stwierdzono 3 gatunki chrząszczy: Choleva glauca, Pterostichus niger, Quedius mesomelinus. Ze względu na brak okazów w strefie przy wejściu należy założyć, że te populacje są odizolowane od pozostałych na powierzchni. Poszczególne gatunki występują tylko w określonych porach roku. Autorzy sugeruje, może to być początek troglobiontycznego trybu życia.
Social Computing: A Classification of Existing Paradigms
2012
In less than three decades, several paradigms of social computing have emerged. Among them, groupware, social software and mobile social software (MoSoSo) are the most widely known. Although all significant, it is challenging to recognize the function and unique features of each single paradigm. This situation represents an obstacle for a coherent development of social computing, a research domain that is highly fragmented and with relevant literature spread across several disciplines. In this paper, a classification of existing social computing paradigms is introduced as an initial effort to combine the lines of discourse concerning social computing.
Wiki as a collaborative writing tool in teacher education: Evaluation and suggestions for effective use
2014
The students did not collaborate much by revising each other's contributions to the wikis.The students did not use the discussion page to address critical reflections on collaboration.Factors influencing wiki-based collaborative writing in teacher education are discussed.Suggestions for effective use of wikis as collaborative writing tools are presented. Wiki technology provides new opportunities to foster collaborative writing in teacher education. To empirically evaluate the level of collaborative writing in a wiki-based environment, this article used three methods and their combination. The first method was the history function that records all students' actions, enabling to trace all ch…

Nonlocal Quantum XOR Games for Large Number of Players
2010
Nonlocal games are used to display differences between classical and quantum world In this paper, we study nonlocal games with a large number of players We give simple methods for calculating the classical and the quantum values for symmetric XOR games with one-bit input per player, a subclass of nonlocal games We illustrate those methods on the example of the N-player game (due to Ardehali [Ard92]) that provides the maximum quantum-over-classical advantage.

Maritime Trade and Merchant Shipping: The Shipping/Trade-Ratio from the 1870s Until Today.
2016
This paper discusses the development of countries’ market shares in world shipping over the last 150 years. The analysis is based upon a new and purpose-built indicator: the shipping/trade-ratio. This indicator presents the relationship between the merchant marine of a country and the country’s role in world trade. Analysis of the shipping/trade-ratio identifies two important developments. First, although the share of the world fleet registered in Europe has dropped significantly, Europe’s role in world shipping over the last fifty years has been more stable than is commonly perceived. Second, there appears to have been an increasing specialisation in the world shipping industry, both among…
The dynamics of online news discussions: effects of news articles and reader comments on users’ involvement, willingness to participate, and the civi…
2017
ABSTRACTThis study investigates when and why news website visitors write civil or uncivil comments in response to news articles or related user comments. In an experiment, we manipulated the news value of news articles and the presence of ‘deliberative’ or ‘detrimental’ elements of comments to compare their impact on participants’ involvement, willingness to comment, and the comments they posted. News factors and comment characteristics increased participants’ willingness to comment via cognitive and affective involvement. Cognitive involvement made it less likely and affective involvement more likely that participants wrote uncivil comments. Additionally, involvement with previous comments…
