Książka stanowi kompendium wiedzy o administracji więziennej z perspektywy prawa karnego wykonawczego i administracyjnego, prawa europejskiego oraz kryminologii, penologii i socjologii. Autorka próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy spełnia ona standard dobrej administracji, prowadząc badania poświęcone kwestiom pogłębiania zaufania skazanych, stosowania władzy dyskrecjonalnej oraz jej legitymizacji poprzez zapewnienie sprawiedliwości proceduralnej. Sięgając do wyników badań naukowych, opisuje ukryte życie więzienia i jego społeczności - funkcjonariuszy i skazanych. Podejmuje próbę analizy czynników decydujących o cywilizowaniu więzienia i jej administracji oraz ustalenia, czy i jak przyczyniają się one do realizacji celu wykonania kary pozbawienia wolności.******Prison Administration. Service or Power The author attempts to answer the question whether prison administration meets the standard of good administration, conducting the research on deepening the trust of the convicts, the use of discretion and its legitimacy by ensuring procedural justice. Referring to the results of research she describes the hidden life of the prison and its community: officers and convicts. She analyses the factors crucial for civilizing the prison and its administration. She also attempts to determine whether and how they contribute to the goal of imprisonment.

Classical Antiquity is a particularly important field in terms of Hope studies [...]. For centuries, the ancient tradition, and classical mythology in particular, has been a common reference point for whole hosts of creators of culture, across many parts of the world, and with the new media and globalization only increasing its impact. Thus, in our research at this stage, we have decided to study how the authors of literary and audiovisual texts for youth make use of the ancient myths to support their young protagonists (and readers or viewers) in crucial moments of their existence, on their road into adulthood, and in those dark hours when it seems that life is about to shatter and fade away. However, if Hope is summoned in time, the crisis can be overcome and the protagonist grows stronger, with a powerful uplifting message for the public. [...] Owing to this, we get a chance to remain true to our ideas, to keep faith in our dreams, and, when the decisive moment comes, to choose not hatred but love, not darkness but light.

When Egyptians fear death or apprehend it, or when they are confront withthe taboo of death, they tend to submit themselves to God s will, hoping that he will save them from danger. While taking refuge in God, they resort to religious formulae, choosing from what seems to be an endless collection of prophylactic, protective or soothing incantations and blessings. The role of religion in everyday social interactions of Egyptians cannot be overemphasised. It regulates human relations and helps to catalyse the inner fears of man. Religious formulae denote complex cultural concepts by relating to multi-layered and multi-dimensional, recurrent situations. This embedding in sociocultural context is a crucial feature of formulae. Thus, formulaicity is the lens through which this book analyses the response to the taboo of death in Egypt.

Dissertation of Lech Raczyński is devoted to the presentation of data processing algorithms in the Jagiellonian PET (J-PET) scanner. The work describes original and inventive methods of signal and image reconstruction. I consider their development a great achievement due to the complex methodology of determining the position in the J-PET scanner based on measurement of the light pulses propagation time in long plastic scintillators. The author applies modern methods of data processing, like compressive sensing theory and total variation regularization technique. For their evaluation both experimental and simulation data of the J-PET scanner were used. This work is an important contribution to the field of PET. The presented results are crucial to the success of the J-PET project.prof. dr hab.

Co to jest poznanie lingwistyczne i jaki ma ono związek z metafizyką Wokół tego pytania ogniskują się wszystkie wątki niniejszej książki, spośród których jeden jest kluczowy: dusza rozumowa i jej władze. Inny, nie mniej ważny, wątek stanowi diagnoza tego, co lingwiści nazywają poczuciem skomunikowania, dotyczy on w sposób szczególny skomunikowania w odniesieniu do pojęć abstrakcyjnych. Diagnoza poczucia skomunikowania wiąże się mianowicie z aporią metodologiczną, mającą swe źródło w relatywistycznie zdefiniowanym układzie komunikacyjnym. Nie zmierzają do jej przezwyciężenia inicjatorzy aktualnych trendów lingwistycznych, dla których punktem wyjścia, a zarazem odniesienia jest dowód empiryczny. Koncepcje i modele naturalistyczne, o które się tutaj przede wszystkim rozchodzi, wymagają uzupełnienia. Takiego uzupełnienia należy upatrywać w metafizyce klasycznej, która czyni realnym to, co dla lingwisty jest tylko abstraktem. ****** Metaphysics of linguistic cognitionWhat is linguistic cognition and how does it relate to metaphysics All the threads of this book revolve around this question. One of these themes is crucial: the rational soul and its cognitive powers. Another but no less important theme is the diagnosis of what linguists call (the sense of) communication. In this understanding, communication is viewed predominantly in relation to abstract concepts.

During the construction of the Eastern China Railway in the firs and second decades of the 20th century, the Far Eastern city of Harbin provided an oportunity for many Poles to find decent employment. In 1907, the number of Poles in Manchuria exceeded 7000 people, soaring to ovew 20000 at its peak in around 1920. Within the local society, the Gospoda Polska Association providede a centre that created and promoted Polish culture and became involved into all the affairs crucial for the Polish diaspora. The rights of Poles in the Far Eastern territories were protected by the Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Harbin.

Od ponad dwustu lat toczą się w Polsce dyskusje o nowoczesności. Przeradzają się często w gwałtowne spory, dotyczą bowiem najistotniejszych zagadnień polskiego życia zbiorowego, w tym także tego, czym jest i czym powinna być polskość. Kształtowanie się nowoczesnej kultury było na gruncie polskim od początku naznaczone poczuciem rozwojowego zapóźnienia. Problemy modernizacyjne, wśród których na pierwszy plan wysuwała się kwestia agrarna, w znacznej mierze określały kierunek dziejów Polski. Powstałe w XIX wieku, stanowiły podłoże formowania się polskiej tożsamości. Nie straciły na znaczeniu w wieku XX, a ich oddziaływanie odczuwamy do dziś. Aby zatem lepiej zrozumieć dzień dzisiejszy, warto poznać jego historyczne uwarunkowania.Polish Modernity. A GenealogyIn the case of Poland the first signs of modernity, i.e. the ideological influence of the Enlightenment and the economic impact of capitalism, were connected with the attempts to overcome crisis of the Republic. The loss of the independent state brought modernisation problems, which made the underdevelopment of the country a crucial factor affecting Polish culture. The 19th-century struggle for modernity was to create cultural patterns, which still define views and attitudes of the Poles.
