Abstract:
Objectives - To examine the incidence, clinical state, personal risk factors, haematology and biochemistry of heat exhaustion cases occurring at a deep underground metalliferous mine. To describe the underground and surface thermal conditions associated with the occurrence of heat exhaustion cases.Methods - A one-year prospective case-series of acute heat exhaustion cases was undertaken at a deep underground metalliferous mine in tropical and Australia. A case-control study of body mass index (BMI) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO(subscript)2max) in heat exhaustion was also undertaken. A history was obtained using a structured questionnaire. Pulse rate, blood pressure, tympanic temperature and urine specific gravity were measured before treatment. Venous blood was analysed for haematological and biochemical parameters, during the acute presentation and after recovery. BMI and VO(subscript)2max were measured after recovery and in a group of controls. Psychrometric wet bulb temperature, dry bulb temperature and air velocity were measured at the underground sites where heat exhaustion had occurred. Air cooling power and psychrometric wet bulb globe temperatures were derived. Surface 24-hour mean wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures were recorded. Surface 24-hour mean wet bulb globe temperatures were derived.Results - 106 cases were studied in the case series. The incidence of heat exhaustion during the year was 43.0 cases per million man-hours. In February it was 147 cases per million man-hours. The incidence rate ratio for mines operating below 1200m compared to those operating above 1200m was 3.17. Mean estimated fluid intake was 0.64 litres/hour (SD 0.29, Range 0.08-1.50).The following were raised on acute presentation compared to recovery (P value, % of acute cases above the normal clinical range): neutrophils (P<0.001, 36%), anion gap (P<0.001, 63%), urea (P<0.001, ++
21%), creatinine (P<0.001, 30%), glucose (P<0.001, 15%), serum osmolality (P=0.030, 71%), creatine kinase (P=0.002, 45%), aspartate transaminase (P<0.001, 14%), lactate dehydrogenase (P<0.001, 9.5%), and ferritin (P<0.001, 26%). The following were depressed on acute presentation compared to recovery (P value, % of acute cases below the normal clinical range): eosinophils (P=0.003, 3 8%) and bicarbonate (P=0.0 11, 32%). Urea and creatinine were significantly raised in miners with heat cramps compared to miners without this symptom (P<0.001), while there was no significant difference in sodium concentration (P=0.384).Mean psychrometric wet bulb temperature was 29.0 degrees celsius (SD 2.2, Range 21.0-34.0). Mean dry bulb temperature was 37.4 degrees celsius (SD 2.4, Range 31.0-43.0). Mean air velocity was 0.54 m/s (SD 0.57, Range 0.00-4.00). Mean air cooling power was 148 W/m(subscript)2 (SD 49, Range 33-290). Mean psychrometric wet bulb globe temperature was 31.5 degrees celsius (SD 2.0, Range 25.2-35.3). Few cases (<5%) occurred at a psychrometric wet bulb temperature <25.0'C, dry bulb temperature <33.8'C, air velocity >1.56 m/s, air cooling power >248 W/m(subscript)2, or psychrometric wet bulb globe temperature <28.5 degrees Celsius.The three surface temperature variables were significantly higher on those days on which heat exhaustion occurred compared to those days on which it did not occur (P<0.001). The relative risk of heat exhaustion on days when the surface 24-hour mean wet bulb globe temperature was in the range 26.0-28.0 degrees celsius was 4.82 (95% CI 2.12-10.96).65 cases of heat exhaustion and 119 controls were studied in the case-control study. Heat exhaustion cases had a significantly higher BMI than controls (P=0.006). The odds ratios increased with BMI. For a BMI of 32.00-36.99, compared to a BMI of less than 27.00 the odds ratio was 3.63 (95% ++
confidence interval 1.42-9.36). V0(subscript)2max was not significantly lower in cases than controls. The odds ratios for heat exhaustion increased with decreasing VO(subscript)2max, but not significantly. The sample size provided 80% power of detecting an odds ratio of 2.5 or greater.Conclusion - Heat exhaustion in underground miners is associated with hypohydration, neutrophil leukocytosis, eosinopenia, metabolic acidosis, increased glucose and ferritin, and a mild rise in CK, AST and LD. Heat cramps are associated with hypohydration but not hyponatraemia. The incidence of heat exhaustion increases during summer and at depth. An increased fluid intake is required. Heat exhaustion would be unlikely to occur if ventilation and refrigeration achieved air cooling power >250W/m2 at all underground work sites. Surface temperature data could be used at this mine to warn miners about the risk of heat exhaustion. Deep underground miners should be advised to maintain a BMI of 24-27.

The underground dam is a social technology of low cost and simple process of construction and operation. In the semi-arid zone of Ceara there is potential to build approximately 3,400 underground dams. The central problem of this study is the lack of in-depth knowledge of the degree of sustainability of underground dams of CearÃ, in economic, social, environmental and institutional terms. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the sustainability of underground dams, the state of CearÃ, as a social technology to living as semi-arid. For this, we used the Dashboard of Sustainability Method by dimension and global, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process to identify the underground dam operating alternative that generates greater benefits to communities. The questionnaires (field research), for the use of Dashboard of Sustainability method, was carried out with 40 farmers, owners of underground dams, located in 11 municipalities of the State of CearÃ. The collection of judgments, for the application of Analytic Hierarchy Process applied together 11 experts and / or decision-makers with expertise in underground dams. When using the Dashboard of Sustainability method, which aims to identify the level of performance of sustainable development for indicator by size and global, were selected with the help of principal component analysis, 28 indicators. These indicators, only 36% achieved the level of 700 points, which is the sustainability threshold used in this thesis. None of the four dimensions reached the level of 700 points. The lower performance was with the economic dimension, reaching only 218 points (need for severe attention) when the maximum metric desirable for the model is 1,000 points or at least the threshold of sustainability of 700 points. The overall index, sustainable development (IGDS) of underground dams of Ceara, reached the metric of 538 points, considered an average level of performance and below the sustainability threshold. The selection of dam alternatives, made by AHP, according to the predominant use, showed that the highest priority for investment, to be decided by the public manager is to "underground dam focused on water supply," closely followed by "underground dam focused on agricultural production". The lowest metric was to "dam focused on environmental benefits", with a metric that reached only 33% of the first alternative. Another important finding that deserves reflection, was that farmers (ex-post analysis) have recorded reasonable performance of the environmental dimension indicators, while the expert and decision-makers (analysis ex-ante) have rated the "dam focused on earnings environmental" the third priority, with metric equal to one third of the first alternative.

Na zona semiÃrida do Estado do Cearà hà potencial para construÃÃo de, aproximadamente, 3.400 barragens subterrÃneas. O problema central, deste estudo, à a falta de conhecimento aprofundado do grau de sustentabilidade das barragens subterrÃneas do CearÃ, em termos econÃmicos, sociais, ambientais e institucionais. Assim, o objetivo desta tese à analisar a sustentabilidade das barragens subterrÃneas, do Estado do CearÃ, como uma tecnologia social para convivÃncia como semiÃrido. Para isto, utilizou-se o mÃtodo Painel de Sustentabilidade (Dashboard of Sustainability), por dimensÃo e global, e o MÃtodo de AnÃlise HierÃrquica (Analytic Hierarchy Process) para identificar a alternativa de exploraÃÃo de barragem subterrÃnea que gera maiores benefÃcios Ãs comunidades. A aplicaÃÃo dos questionÃrios (pesquisa de campo), para a utilizaÃÃo do mÃtodo Painel de Sustentabilidade, foi realizada junto a 40 agricultores, proprietÃrios das barragens subterrÃneas, localizados em 11 municÃpios do Estado do CearÃ. A coleta dos julgamentos, para a aplicaÃÃo do MÃtodo de AnÃlise HierÃrquica, aplicada junto a 11 especialistas e/ou decisores, com experiÃncia em barragens subterrÃneas. Na utilizaÃÃo do Painel de Sustentabilidade, que visa identificar o grau de desempenho de indicadores de desenvolvimento sustentÃvel por indicador, por dimensÃo e global, foram selecionados com o auxÃlio da anÃlise de componentes principais, 28 indicadores. Destes indicadores, apenas 36% alcanÃaram o patamar de 700 pontos, que à o limiar da sustentabilidade adotado nesta tese. Nenhuma das quatro dimensÃes atingiu o patamar de 700 pontos. O mais baixo desempenho ficou com a dimensÃo econÃmica, ao atingir apenas 218 pontos (necessidade de atenÃÃo severa), quando a mÃtrica mÃxima desejÃvel para o modelo à 1.000 pontos ou, no mÃnimo, o limiar da sustentabilidade de 700 pontos. O Ãndice global, de desenvolvimento sustentÃvel (IGDS) das barragens subterrÃneas do Estado do CearÃ, atingiu a mÃtrica de 538 pontos, considerado um grau mÃdio de desempenho e abaixo do limiar da sustentabilidade. A seleÃÃo das alternativas de barragens, feita pelo MÃtodo AHP, segundo o uso predominante, mostrou que a maior prioridade para investimento, a ser decidida pelo gestor pÃblico, à para a âbarragem subterrÃnea focada na oferta de Ãguaâ, seguida de perto pela âbarragem subterrÃnea focada na produÃÃo agrÃcolaâ. A menor mÃtrica ficou para a âbarragem focada em ganhos ambientaisâ, com uma mÃtrica que alcanÃou apenas 33% da primeira alternativa. Outra constataÃÃo relevante, que merece reflexÃo, foi o fato de os agricultores (anÃlise ex-post) terem registrado um razoÃvel desempenho dos indicadores da dimensÃo ambiental, enquanto os especialista e decisores (anÃlise ex-ante) terem classificado a âbarragem focada em ganhos ambientaisâ na terceira prioridade, com mÃtrica igual a um terÃo da primeira alternativa.

Abstract:
Independent Poland ceased to exist in 1795 and the various insurrections to restore the Polish state were thwarted by the Germans, Austro-Hungarians, and Russians. During the First World War, Polish statesmen called upon the thousands of Polish immigrants in the United States to join the Polish Army in France, a military force funded by the French government and organized by the Polish Falcons of America and Ignacy Paderewski, the world-famous Polish pianist. Over 20,000 men trained in Canada and fought in the final months of the war on the Western front. While in France they were placed under the command of General Jozef Haller and became known as Haller’s Army. At the conclusion of the war, the Allied leaders at the Paris Peace Conference decided to send the soldiers to Poland to fight in the Polish-Soviet War to stop the western advance of the Bolsheviks. When the war ended, the United States government, with the influence of Secretary of State Robert Lansing, funded the return of the soldiers to their homes in the United States. This dissertation focuses on questions of the relationships among foreign policy, nationalism, and immigration and investigates forced recruitment, dissatisfaction with the cause of Polish independence exacerbated by difficult wartime conditions, nationalism among immigrant groups, ethnic identity, and anti-Semitism.

Full text
Abstract:
Sorace (1993) suggests that competence at the final stage of non-native acquisition falls into qualitatively distinct categories: (1) incomplete grammar, which lacks a representation for a part of the target system; (2) divergent grammar, which has the target distinctions with non-target instantiations. She captures the general nature of the two systems but leaves their contents undefined. This study adopts her proposal and investigates non-native grammars with respect to acquisition of the Polish aspects: completive, pofective and perfective, in an attempt to define the properties of incomplete or divergent knowledge in the domain of aspect.
According to the account of the aspectual system of Polish proposed in this thesis, acquisition of this system requires knowledge of the following semantic and morpho-syntactic properties: (1) aspectual interpretations, which depend on the semantic features of a VP; (2) the semantic features carried by the aspects; (3) the distinct feature context required for each aspectual interpretation; (4) restriction on feature composition with respect to the syntactic domain of derivation, namely l(exical)-syntax vs. s(syntactic)-syntax. The learners' competence, therefore, must contain information about which feature context yields which interpretation, which interpretations are unrealizable in these contexts, and which aspectual structures are allowed by virtue of their syntactic vs. lexical feature character. The Polish aspectual system involves many elements of knowledge that must be acquired for the L2 end-state to be complete. It also provides a wide range of properties whose nontarget status would lead to a divergent grammar.
Experimental data were elicited from two groups of English speakers who were advanced or near-native learners of Polish in a series of tests (grammaticality judgments, semantic and end-state compatibility tasks, and picture selection) each addressing separate sets of restrictions governing the system. Results were compared to native speaker adult and child controls.
Although the results reveal two types of competence, these cannot be categorically defined as either complete or divergent. While the near-natives' knowledge manifests a complete representation of the elements of the target grammar and native-like distinctions between the aspects, it also bears some characteristics of an incomplete system. The advanced learners manifest a system that is both divergent and incomplete. The study shows that the classification proposed by Sorace (1993) is only appropriate with reference to individual properties of grammar, as a single system of knowledge may show the characteristics of complete, incomplete, divergent and, possibly, non-divergent competence.

Abstract:
As part of extensive activities on the reduction of CO2 emissions, a rapid expansion of power generation using new more fuel efficient technologies (large, medium and embedded scale with combined heat and power (CHP) projects) and renewable energy (wind, biomass, solar PV) is currently taking place in numerous European countries, including the UK. The research presented in this thesis is a part of a UK government funded project, which aims to find answers to how to accommodate increased renewable energy into the distribution network. Current ratings, which are limited by the temperature of the conductors used in the distribution network, are based on worst case scenario conditions and are conservative. The temperature limits can be lifted if one takes into consideration the dynamic changes in the surrounding environmental conditions of the conductors. Implementation of real-time thermal rating of existing power systems could result in greater installed capacities of distributed generation (DG). This research aims to provide new insights into the thermal state of overhead line conductors (OHL) and underground cables (UGC) by using Computational Fluid Dynamic methods. An algorithm consists of building the geometry of the calculation domain, meshing, choosing a model, inputting initial conditions, initiation of the calculation, and analysing results. A part of the UK power system was chosen by Scottish Power Energy Networks for monitoring essential data of OHL conductors in order to validate results of the temperatures of the conductors.

Osipovic, D. "Social citizenship of Polish migrants in London : engagement and non-engagement with the British welfare state." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2010. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/20186/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis offers an account of how social citizenship is understood and actualised by ordinary citizens engaged in international mobility. It is based on an analysis of in-depth interviews with 62 Polish migrants conducted within their family and/or household context in London in 2007/2008. The interviews explored how participants satisfied their welfare needs in areas of housing, health and securing an adequate standard of living during their stay in Britain, and to what extent the satisfaction of those needs took place via welfare state or alternative institutions. The eligibility constraints of EU and UK policies on the social entitlements of Polish migrants are reflected in statistical data such as the UK Labour Force Survey. Nevertheless the interviews show that engagement and non-engagement with the British welfare state depend considerably on the participants‟ perceptions of their position in British society. The needs, desert and membership logics of engagement and the market, care and indeterminate logics of non-engagement have been identified. For instance, the self-image of a contributing citizen with a strong work ethic underpins the desert-based logic of engagement. In contrast, the self-image of a pure migrant worker attains to the market-based logic of non-engagement. Furthermore this thesis explains interactions that arise in the processes of engagement and non-engagement with London-based welfare state institutions and traces the consequences for the agent. Methodologically, the study follows the principles of the constructivist reworking of grounded theory. The emerging theoretical perspective emplaces agency in the tension between the ideational and actual levels of individualised experience of social reality, and suggests a sequential interplay between structure and agency. By relaying migrants‟ views and practices of social citizenship, the research identifies the non-national foci of solidarity and legitimacy rooted in the norms of conditionality and local citizenship which redefine the boundaries of modern welfare communities.

Full text
Abstract:
Des déchets industriels de toutes natures sont enfouis en sous-sol pour un temps indéterminé. Ce déplacement spatial et temporel des déchets confronte les règles de droits à deux univers particuliers, et plus ou moins lointains, le sous-sol et le long terme. Les cadres juridiques des stockages géologiques vont accompagner la technique de stockage souterrain dans son rôle d'exécutoire pour les activités industrielles menées aujourd'hui en surface. Le stockage géologique déplace la charge environnementale des déchets. D'une part, le sous-sol possède un cadre juridique propice à son exploitation industrielle et donc à son utilisation comme lieu de stockage de déchets. Cela est susceptible de heurter les différents usages du sous-sol. Des arbitrages entre les intérêts en conflits doivent être réalisés, au plan technique mais aussi démocratique, s'agissant des modes d'élaboration des décisions publiques relatives à l'espace géologique. Les droits d'exploiter les ressources souterraines peuvent, en outre, entraver les mesures de protection environnementale. D'autre part, le stockage géologique oblige les règles de droit à se projeter dans le temps. Les outils juridiques pour appréhender le futur sont mis à l'épreuve. La difficulté est de partager le fardeau des déchets au cours du temps, entre la sphère publique et la sphère privée. De la même façon, l'enfouissement de déchets dangereux à des échelles transgénérationnelles interroge le contenu et la portée de la responsabilité juridique envers les générations futures
Industrial waste of all kinds are burried in the underground for an indefinite period of time. With this displacement, both in space and time, the rules of law face the challenge of two specific, and more or less distant, worlds: the subsoil and the long term. Legal frameworks for underground storage strengthen the technique of underground storage in its role as an outlet for industrial activities which are carried out on the surface. Underground storage shifts the environmental load of waste. On the one hand, the legal frameworks for subsoil use is favourable to industrial exploitation and therefore to the use of the underground as a storage place for waste. When it comes to the decision-making process for public action in relation with the subsoil, arbitration must be made between the competing interests at stake, both in democratic and technical terms. Besides, the rights to exploit the underground ressources can hamper environmental protection measures. On the other hand, underground storage compels the rules of law to look to the future. The legal tools to anticipate the years ahead are placed under severe strain. The challenge lies in how to share the burden of waste over time between the public and the private spheres. In the same way, the landfill burial of hazardous waste on a transgenerational scale questions the content and scope of legal responsability towards future generations

Abstract:
The accompaniment of the collapse of Eastern European state socialism by a visible manifestation of "people power" has raised questions concerning "system collapse ... and the role of social movements in this" (Manning 1993, 1319). Some Western peace activists have already offered an answer to this question, claiming that Eastern social movements, supported by Western counterparts, were instrumental in the collapse of state socialism. This thesis addresses these questions and investigates this claim, by analysing the origins, philosophy and ultimate impact of national and transnational social movements in the disintegration of Polish state socialism. Although state socialist Poland provided an inhospitable context, it will be argued that problems of system disintegration besetting the Polish state opened up the political opportunity structure enabling social movements to originate. Moreover these movements were not simply exploiters of political opportunity but were inspired by a moral vision of creating a civil society. Sources and interviews drawn from Polish movements will be used to demonstrate these arguments. At the International level it will be suggested that Superpower detente opened the political opportunity structure for transnational interaction between social movements across the Cold War divide. Furthermore, these movements were inspired by a moral vision of how the international system should be. An empirical enquiry into the relationship between a British peace movement and Polish movements will investigate the efficacy of this interaction but will simultaneously demonstrate the difficulties caused by these movements' possession of conflicting moral visions. Having analysed the origins and activities of these movements - their interaction with each other, the socialist state and the international system - conclusions will be drawn both about the specific role of social movements in democratic transition at the Round Table and from a more general perspective, the significance of the practical and moral challenge offered by social movements to the socialist state.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Paul Christensen
This thesis begins by examining the security trends of the European Union after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the resulting efforts to shield Europe against unknown enemies through strengthened external borders. It notes that the driving force behind such a state security mindset was the idea that the global developments that opened the way for hyperterrorism were also responsible for other cross-border threats such as cross-border crime and illegal migration. Thus Europe and consequently, Poland, have found themselves in positions of increased law enforcement and border control at a time when globalization presses for the free movement of goods and labor. As a product of these dualities, this work notes that human trafficking has negatively altered in its manifestations rather than decreasing in occurrence. Thus, through a detailed examination of United Nations, European Union, and Polish laws, this thesis finally concludes that the current state security approach to anti-trafficking efforts is ineffective; it argues that countries such as Poland – through the help of NGOs – must adopt a human security mindset and use improved criminal prosecution and victim assistance as a new, more successful, means of deterrence

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the influence of non-state actors on Polish-German relations by considering foreign policy-making towards Poland in Germany and vice versa. The approach chosen for this thesis is interdisciplinary and takes into consideration literature from domestic politics (Area Studies), Foreign Policy Analysis and International Relations (IR). The thesis argues that IR, by purely looking into the quality of inter-state relations, too often treats these relations as a result of policies emanating from the relevant governments, without considering the policies’ background. Therefore, the thesis argues that it is necessary to engage with the domestic factors which might explain where foreign policies come from. It points out that non-state actors influence governments’ choices by supplying resources, and by cooperating or competing with the government on an issue at stake. In order to determine the degree of influence that non-state actors can have on foreign policymaking two variables are examined: the institutionalisation of the state relations in question; and the domestic structures of the relevant states. Specifically, the thesis examines the institutionalisation of Polish-German relations, and examines Germany’s and Poland’s domestic structures and their effect on the two states’ foreign policy-making in general. Thereafter, the thesis uses case studies in order to unravel the influence of non-state actors on specific foreign policies. Three case studies are examined in detail: (i) Poland’s EU accession negotiations with regard to the free movement of capital chapter of the acquis communautaire; (ii) Germany’s EU 2004 Eastern Enlargement negotiations with regard to the free movement of workers chapter of the acquis communautaire; and (iii) Germany’s decision to establsh a permanent exhibition in Berlin that will depict the expulsions of millions of Germans from the East following WWII.

Full text
Abstract:
Mainstream scholarly literature has examined the post-1989 transformations in Eastern Europe without sufficient attention to gendered perspectives. Most feminist scholars and mainstream political scientists expected that the processes of democratization and Europeanization would be harbingers of positive change, and have not fully succeeded in explaining the current lack of gender equality in the region. This dissertation attempts to fill the gap by combining the insights from ‘Western’ theoretical contributions with empirical research of the Polish case. By drawing on multiple theoretical angles (post-colonialism, nationalism and gender, feminist institutionalism, feminist political economy, Europeanization), I aim to rethink the complex position of Poland in the processes of Europeanization and soft norm diffusion. The recent ‘war on gender’, which took the form of a virulent anti-equality and anti-minorities discursive campaign, has demonstrated that, despite the political and economic changes after 1989, gender inequality and social exclusion persist, and indeed may have intensified. My research explores the current discursive products and legacies (construction of subjects and values) of transformation and Europeanization as observed in mainstream political debates. This dissertation focuses on debates in the Polish parliament, the Sejm, because it is the main site of political discourse in Poland and thus influences also broader societal debates. My main argument is that gendered discourses in the Polish parliament reproduce patterns of domination and inequality, thereby creating discursive categories and subjects that are excluded and marginalized. Dominant discourses on masculinity, femininity, and sexuality prescribe a conservative set of social relations in the family and the nation. This implies that anyone who does not fulfil these discursive standards gets symbolically stigmatized and emerges from the political process as a discursive ‘loser’. Furthermore, the dissertation argues that the ways in which Europeanization and democratization were implemented in Poland, focusing primarily on neoliberal economic reforms, have left free rein to right-wing forces and the catholic church to define values and subjects. I specifically address the influential role of the catholic church in the Polish political context and argue that the anti-gender equality and anti-diversity mobilizations are cyphers for a broader backlash led by nationalist conservative actors against Europeanization and globalization processes. My contributions lie in the theoretical and conceptual bridging of various literatures (i.e. on transformation and gender) and the application of critical discourse analysis to the study of Polish parliamentary debates. Moreover, the thesis exposes invisible and ‘gender neutral’ norms about subjects and gender roles as constructed in Polish politics, with particular focus on welfare and family models and the construction of the nation. I highlight hegemonic masculinities and the marginalization or silencing of alternative discourses. The analysis provides insights into the mechanisms of gender power that construct some groups as the norm and others as problematic or deviant.

Lyrics of the newly emerged underground music provide us with a first hand account of youth life in the Islamic Republic; a lifestyle that shocks those who have not lived in contemporary Iran and a rhetoric that challenges what the international community believes. From singing about their nightlife and relationships to socio-economical and political issues, Iranian artists are using their music as a vehicle of self expression and resistance. Examination of the genres and lyrical content of both authorized and underground music in Iran shows that the Islamic government's policies and restrictions on music has not limited or prevented the growth of music. Musicians have been obliged to create Iranian music different from the pre-revolutionary music is terms of rhythm and content, resulting in the growth of Iranian music and emergence of different genres and lyrical content unique to post-revolution Islamic Iran.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the use of design in the construction of Poland's national identity at the international exhibitions in the Cold War period. It is the first comprehensive study of Polish design discourse in any language that rests at the crossroads of design studies and cultural history. Based on original archival material, both written and visual, and oral interviews this thesis tracks the process of construction of Imagined Poland alongside the development of the design discipline during the three post-war decades. It charts the trajectory of these two narratives and examines their critical reception. In doing so this research casts new light on the relationship between design and political history in the Cold War Europe. However, it is not a thesis about designed objects or spaces per se, but rather about their discursive qualities and the way that they were put in work to narrate the nation. Versatile and embedded in the cultural, economic and social contexts, design understand here in its broadest sense proved to be well suited to this role: it allowed political authorities, trade representatives and creative intelligentsia to address timely issues on their agendas. This thesis closely examines eight exhibitions organised in the Soviet Union, Italy, Belgium and Poland. The narratives of these events, as the thesis argues, reflected the state's changing self-understanding towards international public opinion. It indicates that although Polish exhibitions were occasionally adjusted to the particular location, their themes were largely shaped in response to the political developments at home and in the Eastern Europe. By using exhibitions as a framework, this thesis offers a new perspective to study Polish international modernism and suggests a limited impact of ideology on the development of professional networks. Subsequently it provides a nuanced reading of Poland's relationship with the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc and the rest of Europe beyond reductive paradigm of totalitarianism.

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to explain Poland’s energy security policies towards Russia in the period from 1990-2007. It is inspired by the puzzle that Poland’s commitments to reduce its dependence on imported oil and gas from Russia have varied considerably during this period. Numerous large-scale projects to enhance energy security have been proposed, abandoned and revisited, all in the absence of a significant change to Poland’s level of dependence on Russia or its exposure to supply risks. This puzzle poses a challenge to conventional approaches to energy security, which tend to explain policies as a function of ‘material’ shifts in the price, supply or demand for fossil fuels. Though these factors are undoubtedly important it is argued that, in the case of Poland, energy security is more affected by domestic decision-making processes than by such material shifts. In particular, the degree and form of intervention in the energy sector by the political executive in Poland is highlighted as a key factor explaining energy security policy output. These interventions in Poland are classified and distinguished according to three types of ‘policy network’ – statist, corporatist and liberal, each of which represented a different outlook on the optimal means for ensuring energy security. These policy networks were embedded within different governments, and their preferences fashioned Poland’s responses to energy security challenges occurring under similar material conditions.

Abstract:
One of the most critical problems geotechnical engineers face with is the determination of the amount of consolidation settlement that will occur at a site as a result of the construction of a structure. The compressibility behavior of the soil is an important parameter in determining the amount of consolidation settlement. The goal of this study is to develop probabilistically based correlation between the compressibility behavior of soil and in-situ test data. Within the scope of this research effort, performed CPT tests and the recorded settlement case histories where consolidation settlements at the field under various surcharge loads were compiled from the Bursa East and West Waste Water Treatment Plant soil investigation projects. A database was composed of the results of 45 CPT and 57 settlement plate recordings. For the compilation of this database, a series of finite difference software FLAC-3D analyses were carried out to calculate the change in stress distribution under the settlement plates. A maximum likelihood framework was used for the development of compressibility behavior of soils. As a result of careful processing of available data, the cone tip resistance (qc), soil behavior type index (Ic) were selected as two important parameters effecting the value of the one-dimensional constraint modulus, M. The regression analysis which uses the settlement values recorded at the site and those computed using the change in the stress distribution, the thickness of the sublayers and the proposed one-dimensional constraint modulus were carried out to calculate the values of these model parameters. Two correlations based on the cone tip resistance and soil behavior type index were developed for the computation of the one-dimensional constraint modulus, M.

Le sujet de cette thèse porte sur les relations entre l’Église et l’État en Pologne de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à la rupture de 1989. Elle est centrée sur la parole libératrice de Jean-Paul II. L’un des aspects du processus de la destruction de la dictature communiste, introduit et imposé par le pouvoir politique soviétique en Pologne, a été l’influence de l’Église et en particulier de celle du Primat de Pologne, Stefan Wyszyński et de l’archevêque de Cracovie, Karol Wojtyła. Les visites de ce dernier, devenu Pape, en 1979, 1983 et 1987 se posent en triple vecteur de désaliénation (à l’échelle de l’individu), de détotalisation (à l’échelle de la société), et de désoviétisation (à l’échelle de la nation). Wojtyła, devenu Jean-Paul II, agissait à l’aide d’une Parole qui produisait un effet sensible et exerçait une influence réelle, morale et intellectuelle, sur les personnes. Pour ce travail j’ai examiné le concept de la « parole performative » (c’est-à-dire celle qui a la force d’agir par elle-même), employée par Wojtyła, et de son imprégnation de l’individu, de la société, de la nation
The subject of my thesis bears on the relations between the Church and the State in Poland from the monopole beginning of the Second World War until the breakdown of 1989. It is centered on the liberating words of John Paul II. One aspect of this destruction process of the communist dictatorship, introduced and imposed by the sovietic political power in Poland, has been the influence of the Church and in particular that of the Primate of Poland, Stefan Wyszyński and of the Archbishop of Cracovia, Karol Wojtyła. The latter's visits, once he became Pope, in 1979, 1983 and 1987, are set as a triple carrier of freedom ( on an individual scale), of relieving the burden of totalitarism ( on a social scale) and of the sovietic grip (on a national scale) Wojtyła, once he became John Paul II, operated thanks to a Word which produced a sensitiv effect and exerted a real, moral and intellectual, influence on the people. For this work, I examined the concept of «performative Word» ( that is to say a Word which has the strength to act by itself), used by Wojtyła, and of its impact on the individual, on society, on the nation at large

Underground cable is important facility in today's transmission and distribution system. In recent years, people have been relatively sensitive to any power outage due to tight power supply. Partial discharge is the main cause of insulation equipment deterioration and failure. Since cable joints are the weakest part of crosslinked polyethylene cables and are susceptible to insulation faults, our laboratory has long been focusing on developing an insulation diagnosis rule for real-time monitoring of underground cable joints, which can be used as a reference to judge the degree of insulation deterioration and pre-maintenance to avoid unexpected accidents. In this study, insulation diagnosis is carried out on partial discharge data of 26 underground cable joints, including two type defects: type A (insulation layer with gap) and type B (insulation layer with cavity). The existing diagnostic rule is to judge the transition of insulation state through the slope change of discharge numbers. But if the rule considers the different types and sizes of defects in each test sample, it cannot be applied to all test samples. In this study, the fluctuation of fractal dimension is used to replace the slope change of discharge numbers to determine whether the insulation state is changed or not. All test samples are successfully diagnosed and it is verified that 100% of them could be detected before insulation failure and their life rate in the dangerous period was about 37%.

Abstract:
Niniejsza rozprawa dotyczy procesów o dziesięciny należne kościołowi parafialnemu w Kobylinie (ziemia bielska województwa podlaskiego, diecezja łucka). Były one składane w postaci snopów żyta, jęczmienia i owsa. Parafia kobylińska obejmowała wyłącznie wsie zamieszkane przez drobną szlachtę, która w znacznej większości nie posiadała poddanych i sama uprawiała ziemię. Plebani kobylińscy pozywali szlachtę, która zalegała z dziesięcinami do sądów szlacheckich (ziemskich i grodzkich). Pierwszy rozdział opisuje historię dziesięcin w Królestwie Polskim oraz Rzeczypospolitej polsko-litewskiej aż do III rozbioru w 1795 roku, a także zmiany dotyczących jej regulacji tak z zakresu prawa państwowego, jak kanonicznego powszechnego i partykularnego. Kolejny rozdział poświęcono strukturze społecznej i majątkowej ziemi bielskiej, historii i organizacji miejscowych sądów szlacheckich i kościelnych, a na koniec kosztów postępowań w obu tych jurysdykcjach. Następnie scharakteryzowano sytuację ekonomiczną samej parafii kobylińskiej jako instytucji kościelnej, jej plebanów oraz ich krewnych. Poruszono także bardzo ważne zagadnienia zamożności parafian oraz ich stosunków z plebanami i ich rodziną. Ostatni, czwarty rozdział omawia najważniejsze zagadnienia staropolskiego prawa procesowego w świetle materiałów procesowych oraz wyroków sądów szlacheckich dotyczących dziesięcin w Kobylinie.
The present dissertation is devoted to the tithes trials in the Kobylin parish in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Bielsk land of the Podlachian voivodeship, dioecese of Lutsk). The tithes were paid in the form of sheaves of rye, barley and oats. The parish of Kobylin included only villages inhabited by noblemen who were small landowners and cultivated their lands by themselves. The parish priests took parishioners that had not paid these tithes to noble courts. In the first chapter I have described the history of the tithes in the Kingdom of Poland as well as in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth until 1795 and the changing legal framework of them. The second chapter is devoted to the social structure of the Bielsk land, the history and organization of the local noble and church courts, and finally the legal costs in both jurisdictions. Subsequently, I have described the economic condition of this parish, the parish priests and their relatives. Very important questions are also wealth of parishioners and their relations with the parish priests and their families. Finally, the fourth chapter concerns the key institutions of Old Polish legal procedure in the light of trials and verdicts of noble courts.

Główna teza pracy głosi, że opisywana wspólnota górali pienińskich na przestrzeni ostatnich dwudziestu lat przekształciła się ze „społeczności pogranicza” w „społeczność transgranicza” polsko-słowackiego. W pracy przeanalizowane zostały takie płaszczyzny aktywności społecznej mieszkańców badanego obszaru, jak kontakty dobrosąsiedzkie, ponadgraniczna współpraca kulturalna, stosunki handlowe i polsko-słowackie relacje wyznaniowe. Przeprowadzone badania pokazały wielowymiarowy charakter granicy polsko-słowackiej, która w regionie Pienin pełni funkcję: „spajającą” (granica „niewidoczna”) w sferze codziennego funkcjonowania wspólnoty górali pienińskich, „symboliczną” w kwestii interpretacji newralgicznych wydarzeń historycznych, jak również „rozdzielającą” („mocna” granica) na płaszczyźnie współpracy oficjalnej na szczeblu międzynarodowym, a także w przypadku kluczowej sfery aktywności zawodowej górali pienińskich, tj. żeglugi flisackiej na Dunajcu.
The doctoral thesis presents an analysis of the evolution of social significance of Polish-Slovakian state border and its impact on relationships within the borderland community on the example of two villages in Pieniny region - Polish Sromowce Niżne and Slovak Red Monastery. The main thesis of the paper is that the described community of the Pieniny highlanders - over the last twenty years - has evolved from the Polish-Slovak "borderland community" into "cross-border community". The study analyzed various spheres of social activity of inhabitants of the studied area, such as good-neighborly relations, cross-border cultural cooperation, Polish-Slovak trade contacts and religious relations. The study showed the multidimensional nature of Polish-Slovak border, which in the Pieniny region acts as "bonding" (the "invisible” border) in the sphere of everyday functioning of the highlanders community, "symbolic" in the interpretation of critical historical events, as well as "separating" ("strong" border) at the level of official cooperation at the international level, as well as in the case of the key sphere of professional activity of the Pieniny highlanders, ie. rafting on the Dunajec river.

Abstract:
Praca dotyczy pozycji prawnoustrojowej Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej w systemie ustrojowym państwa polskiego w latach 1944 – 1947. Wybór tematu związany był ze stosunkowo niewielkim zainteresowaniem, jakie współcześnie towarzyszy prawnym aspektom przejmowania władzy przez Polską Partię Robotniczą. Dlatego tematyka pracy ma duże znaczenie z uwagi na przemiany polityczno – społeczno – gospodarcze, które miały miejsce w państwie polskim po II wojnie światowej, kiedy to powstał specyficzny model ustrojowy w postaci Krajowej Rady Narodowej oraz jej Prezydium. Warto zaznaczyć, że wiele aktów prawnych z tego okresu obowiązuje współcześnie, zwłaszcza w zakresie stosunków własnościowych. Chodzi przede wszystkim o regulacje prawne dotyczące przeprowadzonej reformy rolnej oraz nacjonalizacji. Wszystkie one podlegały omówieniu na posiedzeniach Prezydium KRN, które zatwierdzało dekrety ówczesnej władzy wykonawczej. Ramy czasowe pracy obejmują lata 1944 – 1947, kiedy to funkcjonowało Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej. Jednakże dysertacja nie byłaby kompletna, gdyby nie omówiono wpływu wcześniejszych unormowań prawnych na ówczesny system prawny, w tym nie odwołano się w zakończeniu do współczesnego znaczenia aktów prawnych wydanych po II wojnie światowej.Praca podzielona została, nie licząc wstępu, zakończenia, wykazu źródeł oraz literatury, w tym trzech aneksów, na cztery rozdziały. W pierwszym z nich omówiono historię ruchu komunistycznego na ziemiach polskich, począwszy od pierwszych organizacji socjalistycznych w XIX wieku, jak również zwrócono uwagę na działalność Komunistycznej Partii Polski. W rozdziale wyjaśniono dlaczego partia nie nazywała się komunistyczną, nie deklarowała wprowadzenia w Polsce tzw. dyktatury proletariatu, ale prezentowała program stosunkowo liberalny. W rozdziale drugim przedstawiono, czym była i jak funkcjonowała Krajowa Rada Narodowa. W szczególności omówione zostały podstawy prawne działania tzw. tymczasowego parlamentu przede wszystkim: Statut Tymczasowych Rad Narodowych, Manifest Polskiego Komitetu Wyzwolenia Narodowego z dnia 22 lipca 1944 r., w którym odwołano się do podstawowych założeń Konstytucji z dnia 17 marca 1921 r., oraz ustawa z dnia 11 września 1944 r. o organizacji i zakresie działania rad narodowych. Wymieniony także został skład Krajowej Rady Narodowej i sposób, w jaki powoływani byli nowi posłowie. Po analizie składu osobowego tzw. tymczasowego parlamentu postawiona została teza, że choć organ ten uważany był za przedstawiciela robotników i chłopów, to w praktyce obydwie warstwy społeczne były słabo w nim reprezentowane.W rozdziale trzecim omówiono charakter ustrojowy, skład, kompetencje oraz działalność Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej, w szczególności w zakresie uprawnień nabytych w drodze tzw. zwyczaju konstytucyjnego. Ponadto zwrócono uwagę na kompetencję, dotyczącą legalizacji partii politycznych oraz prawnoustrojową pozycję Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej, w relacjach odpowiednio z rządem, Biurem Kontroli, w tym w stosunku do terenowych rad narodowych i sukcesywnie odtwarzanego samorządu terytorialnego. Ostatni rozdział poświęcony został pozycji i stosunkowi Prezydium KRN wobec wymiaru sprawiedliwości. W szczególności omówiono działalność Komisji Specjalnej do Walki z Nadużyciami i Szkodnictwem Gospodarczym, która była organem pozasądowym, w pełni podległym Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej. Oprócz tego omówiono proces odtwarzania wymiaru sprawiedliwości po II wojnie światowej, który w dużym stopniu kontrolowany był przez Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej. Pracę kończy ocena działalność Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej w ówczesnym systemie politycznoprawnym, która stanowi próbę udzielenia odpowiedzi na pytanie: czym było Prezydium oraz jaka była jego rola w systemie ustrojowym tzw. Polski ludowej? W tym miejscu przedstawiono wpływ dekretów, ustaw, rozporządzeń, w których opracowywaniu brało udział Prezydium Krajowej Rady Narodowej, na dzisiejszy porządek prawny.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the legal and institutional position of the Presidium of State National Council in the Polish political system over the period 1944 – 1947. The choice of the subject was associated with a relatively low interest which today accompanies the legal aspects of the takeover by the Polish Workers' Party. Therefore, the subject of the thesis is of great importance due to political, social, and economic changes which occurred in Poland after World War II, when a specific model of political system in the form of a State National Council and its Presidium was created. It is worth noting that many legislative acts from this period are still in force, especially in the range of ownership relations. It mainly relates to the legal regulations concerning the reform of agriculture and nationalization. All of them were discussed at the meetings of the Presidium of the State National Council, which approved the decrees of the executive power. The Presidium of State National Council functioned between 1944 and 1947. However, the dissertation would not be complete if it did not discuss the impact of former legal regulations on the legal system at the time, or the contemporary importance of acts issued after World War II. The thesis contains four chapters not including the introduction, conclusions, a list of references, and three annexes. The first chapter discusses the history of the communist movement in Poland, first socialist organizations in the nineteenth century, as well as the activities of the Polish Communist Party. This chapter explains why the party was not called communist, and why it did not introduce in Poland the dictatorship of the proletariat, but presented a relatively liberal program.The second chapter presents the facts concerning the State National Council. In particular, it discusses the legal framework of the provisional parliament: the Statute of the Provisional Councils, Manifesto of the Polish Committee of National Liberation from 22 July 1944, which referred to the basic principles of the Constitution from 17 March 1921, and the Act from 11 September 1944 on the organization and the range of activities of national councils. It also presents the composition of the State National Council and the way of appointing new members. After analyzing the composition of the provisional parliament it was stated that even though the authority was considered a representative of the workers and peasants, in practice the two social classes were poorly represented in it.The third chapter discusses the institutional character, composition, competences and activities of the Presidium of National Council regarding the rights acquired by the custom constitution. In addition, special attention was drawn to the competence concerning the legalization of political parties and legal position of the Presidium of the State National Council, in relation to the government, Audit Office, and its relation to the field of national councils and successively recreated local government.The last chapter is devoted to the position and the relation of the Presidium of the State National Council to the administration of justice. In particular, it discusses the activities of the Special Commission to Combat Embezzlement and Economic Sabotage, which was an extrajudicial body, fully subordinated to the Presidium of State National Council. Moreover, this chapter discusses the process of recovery of the administration of justice after World War II, which was controlled to a great extent by the Presidium of State National Council. The thesis ends with an assessment of the Presidium of State National Council in the political system at the time, which attempts to explain the role of the Presidium and its role in People’s Poland system of government. It also presents the effect of decrees, laws, and regulations, which were issued by the Presidium of State National Council on today's legal system.

Abstract:
Pierwszym celem niniejszej pracy jest możliwie pełne odtworzenie biografii kompozytora. Dzieje życia Eugeniusza Morawskiego niejako same wyznaczyły kształt części biograficznej, która dzieli się na trzy dość symetryczne odcinki. Pierwszy z nich obejmuje lata 1876–1908, spędzone przez artystę w Warszawie. Pierwszy okres życia artysty to nauka kompozycji i fortepianu w Instytucie Muzycznym w Warszawie, studia plastyczne w Szkole Sztuk Pięknych oraz przyjaźń z Mikalojusem Konstantinasem Čiurlionisem. Okres ten zwieńczył aresztowanie zaangażowanego w działalność konspiracyjną kompozytora przez carską ochranę w listopadzie 1907 roku i wydalenie z Rosji w marcu 1908 roku. Drugi odcinek, relatywnie najkrótszy, obejmuje lata 1908–1930, spędzone przez Morawskiego we Francji, gdzie powstała większość jego kompozycji i gdzie włączył się w działalność polskiej kolonii artystycznej. Ostatni okres to lata 1930–1948, które twórca spędził w Polsce, szefując najpierw szkole średniej Państwowego Konserwatorium Muzycznego w Warszawie, a następnie ujednoliconemu PKM w latach 1932–1939. To również czas ostrych konfliktów z Karolem Szymanowskim i ze wspierającą go frakcją kompozytorów. Waśnie te doprowadziły do obłożenia Morawskiego środowiskową anatemą ze strony zwolenników autora Harnasiów, którzy gorliwie pilnowali, aby nazwisko jego adwersarza kojarzyło się jak najgorzej, a nieliczne ocalałe z wojennej zawieruchy kompozycje pozostawały w zapomnieniu. Druga część pracy poświęcona jest recepcji twórczości Morawskiego. Jej celem jest określenie, jak odbierana była twórczość tego kompozytora i jakie miejsce zajmowała i zajmuje w panoramie muzyki polskiej XX wieku. Została podzielona na podrozdziały, odpowiadające kolejnym omawianym utworom: symfonii Vae victis, poematom symfonicznym Don Quichotte, Nevermore i Ulalume, baletom Miłość i Świtezianka oraz ujętym wspólnie pieśniom i kwartetowi smyczkowemu. Pisząc ten rozdział korzystałem głównie z materiałów prasowych publikowanych w okresie dwudziestolecia międzywojennego. Z oczywistych względów część ta nie obejmuje nigdy nie wykonywanych kompozycji Morawskiego, w tym zachowanej do naszych czasów muzyki scenicznej do Lilli Wenedy, kantaty Kordecki i dwóch pieśni na głos i orkiestrę. Cytując materiały źródłowe zachowałem oryginalną pisownię, poprawiłem jedynie interpunkcję. Nie poprawiałem również i nie uzupełniałem również przykładów nutowych znajdujących się w korespondencji Morawskiego i Čiurlionisa.

Abstract:
This diploma thesis deals with the issue of unauthorized economic activities of Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic, which in this case are understood as all the economic activities of these migrants, which are in some way contrary to the valid legislation - i.e. both completely illegal and quasi-legal activities. The thesis builds on a number of important theories and concepts, such as the dual labour market theory, network theory, institutional theory, client system, or precarisation. The main objective of this diploma thesis is to describe and structure the phenomenon of unauthorized economic activities of Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic. First, the thesis presents the statistical data concerning the studied phenomenon and outlines the legislative anchoring the employment of Ukrainian migrants within the Czech labour market. This is followed by the description of general context of Ukrainian labour migration to the Czech Republic, its main reasons and associated risk factors. Then attention is paid to the very phenomenon of unauthorized economic activities with a main focus on its causes, forms, consequences and possible solutions. In the research part of this diploma thesis, the data are mainly drawn from interviews with experts on the given issue working in different areas -...

Abstract:
This qualitative study uses narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988, 1990, 2001) and self-study to investigate ways to further understand and facilitate the integration of holistic philosophies of education with media literacy pedagogies. As founder and director of the Youth Media Literacy Project and a self-titled Imagitator (one who agitates imagination), I have spent over 10 years teaching media literacy in various high schools, universities, and community centres across North America. This study will focus on my own personal practical knowledge (Connelly & Clandinin, 1982) as a culture jammer, educator and cancer survivor to illustrate my original vision of a ‘holistic media literacy pedagogy’. This research reflects on the emergence and impact of holistic media literacy in my personal and professional life and also draws from relevant interdisciplinary literature to challenge and synthesize current insights and theories of media literacy, holistic education and culture jamming.
