9 maja bieżącego roku minęło 100 lat od dnia urodzin wybitnego literaturoznawcy, historyka, poety, publicysty, bibliografa, tłumacza – Władysława Abramowicza, którego imię dziś jest nieco zapomniane, bądź zupełnie nieznane. Nikt dotychczas nie napisał obszerniejszej pracy, poświęconej życiu i twórczości danej osoby. Z tego powodu temat swojej pracy sformułowałam następująco:„Władysław Abramowicz. Próba zarysu monograficznego”. Celem danej rozprawy jest próba wydobycia z zapomnienia człowieka, który swoim talentem i pracą przyczynił się do rozwoju kultury i literatury polskiej oraz litewskiej. Praca składa się z czterech rozdziałów. Rozdział I: „Biografia Władysława Abramowicza (1909-1965)”. Rozdział ten zawiera życiorys i krótko zarysowuje działalność i twórczość tego wszechstronnego człowieka. Rozdział II: „Od „świtania myśli” do regionalizmu. Poezja Władysława Abramowicza” - zawiera analizę i interpretację wierszy ze zbiorków: „Świtanie myśli” i „Regjonalne” Rozdział III: „Publicystyka i książki popularnonaukowe”. Ten rozdział przedstawia artykuły i książki napisane przez Abramowicza. Rozdział IV: „Władysław Abramowicz jako tłumacz”. Zawiera przykłady wierszy i prozy litewskich poetów, przełożonych przez Abramowicza na język polski. W zakończeniu danej rozprawy można zrobić następujące wnioski. Władysław Abramowicz to poeta, prozaik, publicysta, który ani za życia, ani po śmierci nie był zauważony. Dziś jego imię znane i kojarzone jest tylko z Biblioteką AN, w której...

Iki šiol niekas neparašė išsamaus darbo apie šio asmens gyvenimą ir kūrybą. Būtent dėl šios priežasties ir buvo pasirinkta tokia magistrinio darbo tema: „Vladas Abramavičius. Monografinė apybraiža“. Pagrindinis šio darbo tikslas buvo „ištraukti” iš užmaršties žmogų, kuris savo talentu ir darbu prisidėjo prie lietuvių ir lenkų kultūros ir literatūros vystymosi. Darbas susideda iš keturių skyrių. Pirmame skyriuje: „Vlado Abramavičiaus biografija (1909-1965)“, trumpai aprašyta šio asmens biografija ir supažindinama su jo veikla ir kūryba. Antrame skyriuje: „Nuo „minties brėkšmės” iki regionalizmo. Vlado Abramavičiaus poezija“, analizuojami jo vieninteliai du eilėraščių rinkiniai parašyti lenkų kalba: „Minties brėkšmė“ (Świtanie myśli) (1930) ir „Regioninė“ (Regjonalne) (1933). Trečias skyrius: „Publicistika ir mokslo-populiariosios knygos“ skirtas apžvelgti Vlado Abramavičiaus parašytus straipsnius ir knygas. Paskutinis skyrius: „Vladas Abramavičius kaip vertėjas“, kuriame pristatyti Abramavičiaus versti lietuvių rašytojų eilėraščiai ir proza į lenkų kalbą. Darbo pabaigoje buvo padarytos tokios išvados. Vladas Abramavičius tai poetas, prozaikas, publicistas, kuris nei būdamas gyvas, nei po mirties nebuvo pastebėtas. Šiandien jo vardas žinomas ir siejamas tik su Mokslų... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / On 9th of May 2009 bibliographer, poet, publicist and translator Vladas Abramavičius, whose name is not only forgotten, but also is absolutely unknown, has celebrated his 100th birthday. Until now no one has publicized detailed work about his life and oeuvre. For this reason „Valdas Abramavičius. Monographic outline” was chosen as the theme of this thesis. Main objective of the thesis was to remember man who contributed to the evolution of Lithuanian and Polish culture and literature with his talent. Thesis contains four main parts. First chapter „Biography of Vladas Abramavičius (1909 – 1965)” outlines biography and introduces his work and oeuvre. Second chapter „Form the “dawn of the thought” till regionalism. Poetry of Vladas Abramavičius” analyses two (which were ever published) Polish poetry selection books „Dawn of the thought” (Świtanie myśli) (1930) and „Regional” (Regjonalne) (1933) Third chapter „Opinion journalism and popular science books” presents review of articles and books written by Vladas Abramavičius. Last chapter „Vladas Abramavičius as translator” overviews Lithuanian authors prose and verse translations into Polish. Following conclusions have been made: Vladas Adamavičius as poet, prosaist and publicist has not been recognized nor during his lifetime nor after his death. Nowadays his name is being associated with The Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, where he had been working for 25 years as head of Manuscripts Department. The... [to full text]

The body` of criticism concerning N. Scott Momaday's House Made of Dawn demonstrates a lack of material dealing with the ramifications of the Priest of the Sun's sermon which examines the "Word" of St. John. This thesis explores what is meant by St. John's Word, and how this Word relates to Momaday's novel as a whole. Momaday, through Tosamah, the Priest of the Sun, claims modern society is being overloaded with meaningless words. The Word, in its pure form, is connected to the Native American oral tradition and Momaday's belief that words are powerful when they are used in a traditional manner. The context of language is shown to be an important element in this novel, as the topic of Native American assimilation into white culture is discussed. / Department of English

Being Isadora is a story of possession. Isadora Duncan, the founder of modern dance, was an intensely creative, free-spirited woman. Her life experiences early last century were as fascinating and tragic as her achievements. In New York in 1985, Isadora's last surviving pupil and adopted daughter, ninety-year old Anna Duncan, is searching for a way to fulfill a long held promise. Isadora wished to control the way she was remembered and had made Anna promise that any remaining film of her dancing would be destroyed. But one film survives and Anna is running out of time to find it. A young Australian journalist, Tamsin Doyle, attends a dance class at the Isadora Duncan Studio and meets Anna, unknowingly becoming part of the quest. Initially the stories of Isadora and Tamsin run parallel, then as Tamsin gets to know Anna, she becomes immersed in a dream world of dramatic incidents from Isadora's life. The dreams become waking experiences and she fears her will is gradually being taken over. She ends up in places - in fact other countries - that she had no intention of being, pursuing an agenda that is not her own. In the second part of the book, she finds herself in Russia, where Isadora lived after the Revolution. She meets and falls in love with Vladimir, the grandson of Isadora's former dance collaborator. Unable to prevent herself being possessed while visiting the school Isadora founded, Tamsin is arrested by the authorities. A Russian KGB officer has his own plans and abducts her, keeping her prisoner in a dacha outside Moscow. He shows her a film of herself dancing and then the surviving film of Isadora. The two are almost identical and a dramatic climax ensues. Themes in the book explore the nature of memory and how it is influenced by photographic and filmic record, love and loss and the way patterns repeat in people's lives in an attempt to change outcomes.

The research aims to investigate the religious visual culture of the Dawn Valley as a key element of interpretation and construction of its postmodern religious narrative. It starts with the assumption that their iconography while using elements of science fiction is a new and unusual way to situate the contemporary considering aspects of cosmology of the twentieth century, to build an adapted religious narrative. As a theoretical framework we use the approach of Edgar Morin on the intersection of film and imaginary reflection of Joseph Campbell as the model for the hero or monomyth journey. The methodology proposed is from the proposal by Gillian Rose for the interpretation of visual culture. It is expected to highlight the importance of spirit and cinematic literary narratives of science fiction in the constitution of the pictorial narrative of the Dawn Valley and how it transformed this movement in one of the main religious phenomena that embraced the new cosmology. / O Vale do Amanhecer é um movimento religioso genuinamente brasileiro que surgiu a partir da década de 1960 no Distrito Federal. A pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a cultura visual religiosa do Vale do Amanhecer como elemento-chave da sua interpretação e construção da sua narrativa religiosa pós-moderna. Parte-se da hipótese de que a sua iconografia enquanto se utiliza elementos da ficção científica representa uma forma nova e rara de se situar na contemporaneidade considerando aspectos da cosmologia do século XX, para construir uma narrativa religiosa adaptada. Como referencial teórico utilizamos a abordagem de Edgar Morin sobre a intersecção de cinema e imaginário, a reflexão de Joseph Campbell como modelo da jornada do herói ou monomito. Como metodologia propõem-se partir da proposta por Gillian Rose para a interpretação da cultura visual. Espera-se evidenciar a importância das narrativas literárias espíritas e cinematográficas de ficção científica na constituição da narrativa pictórica do Vale do Amanhecer e como isso transformou este movimento em um dos principais fenômenos religiosos que assuiram a nova cosmologia

Assim, o presente trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos de diferentes manejos de irrigação na videira de vinho cv. Syrah/1103P, no comportamento ecofisiológico da cultura e em seus aspectos quantitativos e qualitativos da produção de uvas. O experimento foi conduzido na Embrapa Semiárido, em Petrolina – PE, durante o primeiro ciclo de produção da cultura (13 de abril a 6 de agosto de 2010). O espaçamento da cultura foi de 3m entre linhas de plantas e 1 m entre plantas. O sistema de irrigação utilizado foi o de gotejamento, com emissores espaçados a 0,5 m na linha de plantio com vazão de 2,5 Lh-1. O delineamento estatístico foi o de blocos casualizados, com 4 repetições e 3 tratamentos: irrigação plena (IP) – irrigação durante todo o ciclo da cultura; irrigação deficitária (ID) – interrupção da irrigação a partir dos 45 dias após a poda de produção (dapp) até a colheita; e irrigação com déficit controlado (IDC) – interrupção da irrigação aos 45 dapp e irrigações eventuais para o aumento da umidade do solo na profundidade efetiva do sistema radicular (0,6 m). O manejo da irrigação foi baseado na evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc) estimada pela relação entre a evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) e coeficientes da cultura (Kc). A partir de 45 dapp e até a colheita (115 dapp), a umidade do solo até a profundidade de 1,20 m foi menor nos tratamentos IDC e ID em relação ao tratamento IP / Irrigation is important practice in the fruit crop growing in the Brazilian Semiarid region, due to low magnitude raintall, with irregular time distribuition, which is not enough to supply water demand by plants. Hence, a research work was designed to evoluate the effects of different irrigation schedulings on wine grapevine, particularly on plant ecophysiological behavior and yield. The experiment was carried out at Embrapa Tropical Semi-Arid, in Petrolina, State of Pernambuco, Brazil, during the first crop growing season (April 13 to August 6, 2010) of grapevine cv. Syrah grafted on Paulsen 1103 rootstock, planted on grid spacing of 3 m between rows and 1m between plants. Drip irrigation system was used with 2.5 L.h-1 flow emitter spaced in 0.5 m. The experiment was designed in randomized blocks, with 4 replications and 3 irrigation treatments: full irrigation (FI) - irrigation throuhgtout the entire growing season; deficit irrigation (DI) - water application interrupted since 45 days after pruning (dap) until harvest; e regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) - irrigation interrupted since 45 dapp but occasionally performed to increase soil water storage in the effective root zone (0,6 m depth). Irrigation scheduling was performed based on crop evapotranspiration (ETc), which was estinated by the relationship between reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and crop coefficients (Kc). Soil water content at 1.2 m depth from 45 dap to 115 dap (harvest), was lower in DI and RDI treatments, when compared with FI treatment. Higher pre-daw leaf water potential values were found in RDI treatment at 56 dap (-4.2 MPa), and in DI treatment at 99 dap (-5 MPa)

The literature has lacked a comparative analysis into Greece's Far Right party, Golden Dawn's, (GD) ideological discourse. The Far Right party is the most extreme in the Greek Parliament, promoting an ultra-nationalist agenda and being accused of operating as a terrorist organisation by the state. Looking at characteristics such as nationalism, euroscepticism and authoritarianism, this thesis compares GD to the prototypical radical right party, Front National (FN), and predicts that they will be more radical in every aspect of their discourse. In addition, it seeks to fit them within a party classification.

The focal point of the dissertation is the term of cartel, which could be described as agreements distorting competition concluded by competitors on the horizontal level of the market, and, above all, legal instruments which are used in the process of detecting and punishing cartels. In particular, the dissertation thesis deals with three of possible instruments used in the enforcement process of cartels, i.e. with dawn rides (unannounced on-the-spot inspections/investigations carried out in business and non-business premises), sanctions and sanction policies and with the leniency programs. These instruments are generally thought to be the most important and most effective tools in the enforcement process of cartels and necessary precondition of efficiency of competition law itself. In accordance with the topic, the dissertation thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is concerned with theoretical and normative definitions of agreements distorting competition and cartels. The main purpose of this part is to provide basic characteristics of these terms and to describe them in a way which will create a basement for explanation of the three legal instruments, which form the focal point of the thesis. Second, fundamental part of the dissertation, deals with commentary to selected legal instruments, mentions already above. In particular it consists of three chapters, each one dealing with one of the instruments in question. In the final part of the dissertation are introduced conclusions and evaluations of the three legal instruments and also some proposals pro futuro.

In the standard model of cosmology (ΛCDM) the first stars, star clusters, and galaxies are expected to have formed in short bursts of star formation in low-mass dark matter halos at high redshifts (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?z%5C,%20%5Csim%20%5C,6-10" data-classname="equation_inline" />). Up to this point, attempts to predict the properties and abundances of these luminous objects have made use of numerically expensive cosmological simulations. On top of being numerically expensive, these simulations often lack the required sub-parsec resolution needed to resolve the formation of compact star clusters and/or neglect possibly dominant stellar feedback processes. Motivated by this, I introduce Anaxagoras, as far as I know the most detailed analytical ab initio model of starbursts in low-mass halos to date. The model incorporates sub-models for gas cooling (including a new determination of the H2-cooling threshold in minihalos), central gas accretion and disk formation (using a new selfsimilarsolution), stellar feedback from radiation pressure (direct stellar radiation, Lyman-<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?%5Calpha" data-classname="equation_inline" data-title="" /> scattering in H I, and multiple scattering of IR photons by dust), stellar winds, expanding HII regions, and (crudely) supernovae. The resulting star formation efficiency is used to predict the fraction of stars that remain gravitationally bound in a cluster following gas expulsion, andwhat fraction escape the central region of the halo, yet remain bound by the dark matter halo. I apply Anaxagoras to study star formation at <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?z%5C,%20%3E%20%5C,6" data-classname="equation_inline" /> in satellite halos of the Milky Way using a halo merger tree code, as well as Population III (Pop III) star formation in minihalos. For the Milky Way setup, hundreds of galaxies are predicted to form with luminosities (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?L_%7B%5Crm%20V%7D%20%5C,%3C%5C,%20%5Crm%7Bfew%7D%5C,%20%5Ctimes%20%5C,%2010%5E4%20%5C:%20%5Crm%7BL%7D_%7B%5Codot%7D" data-classname="equation_inline" />), half-mass radii (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?%5Csim%2010-200%5C:%5Crm%20pc" data-classname="equation_inline" />), mass-to-light ratios (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?M/L_%7B%5Crm%20V%7D%20%5Csim%20100%20-%20%5Crm%7Bfew%7D%20%5C,%5Ctimes%5C,%2010%5E3%20%5C:%5Crm%7BM%7D_%7B%5Codot%7D/%5Crm%7BL%7D_%7B%5Codot%7D" data-classname="equation" />), and ages (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?13.18%5E%7B+0.29%7D_%7B-0.31%7D%5C:%5Crm%20Gyrs" data-classname="equation_inline" data-title="" />) in good agreement with the observed local population of Ultra-Faint Dwarfs. This shows that ΛCDM is able to explain the properties ofthe faintest dwarf galaxies without fine-tuning. Furthermore, at least ~ 40 compact (initial half-mass radii <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?%5Csim%200.1-5%5C;%5Crm%7Bpc%7D" data-classname="equation_inline" />), old (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?13.27%5E%7B+0.21%7D_%7B-0.39%7D%5C:%5Crm%20Gyrs" data-classname="equation_inline" />) globular cluster (GC) candidates with initial stellar masses <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?10%5E5%20-%2010%5E6%20%5C:%20%5Crm%7BM%7D_%7B%5Codot%7D" data-classname="equation_inline" />  are predicted to form at the center of low-mass halos, and could survive to the present-day and explain at least a fraction of the observed metal-poor GCs. Their properties are consistent with recent candidates for GCs residing in dark matter halos. Thus, Anaxagoras lends support to the viability of the scenario of GC formation in minihalos. Finally, the formation of Population III (Pop III) stars in minihalos is studied, with the conclusion that if Pop III stars are not overly massive (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?25%5C:%5Crm%7BM%7D_%7B%5Codot%7D" data-classname="equation_inline" />) between ~ 1 − 30 stars could form per minihalo at <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?z%5C,%20%3E%20%5C,20" data-classname="equation_inline" />, with the number increasing to ~ 10 − 500 stars per minihalo at <img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?z%5C,%3C%5C,15" data-classname="equation_inline" /> as Lyman-Werner feedback delay star formation until halos reach larger masses. In the case where Pop III stars are more massive (<img src="http://www.diva-portal.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?140%5C:%5Crm%7BM%7D_%7B%5Codot%7D" data-classname="equation_inline" data-title="" />) most minihalos form just a single star. Due to self-shielding of H2 in minihalos, I find that the cosmological Lyman-Werner background is insufficient to produce Pop III galaxies in atomic-cooling halos, with the implication that the number of massive Pop III galaxies/star clusters in the early Universe has been greatly overestimated in the literature that ignores self-shielding.

Drug addiction is at crisis level in the United States. Nurses caring for persons affected by substance use disorder (SUD) have a resource in Mr. Ming Ho Liu's testimony on Good TV (Taiwan)—translated and summarized in this article—of his addiction experiences and successful treatment at Operation Dawn, a Christian drug rehabilitation center. Recovery from SUD is possible by God's power. In Mr. Liu's case, his recovery was accomplished without medication.
