From Yugoslavia to Bosnia and Herzegovina – the impact of mutual relations on contemporary communication
No full textBosnia, declared independence in March 1992, which was one of the reasons for the outbreak of a civil war regarded as the bloodiest conflict in Europe since the end of World War II. The war ended in 1995 with the signing of the peace treaty in Dayton under which Bosnia and Herzegovina became an independent country, divided into two parts: Republika Srpska (49% of the territory) and the Muslim-Croatian Federation (51% of the territory). In later years, the District of Brčko was established, inhabited by the three nations. The division has had a negative impact not only on political stability in the state, but also on the entire social life. Considering the Slavic origin of all the nations that once inhabited Yugoslavia, it was established that its national culture is characterized by a large distance of power, a high degree of collectivism, dominant feminine values and a high level of risk avoidance. Religious diversity in B&H (Bosnians – Islam, Serbs – Orthodoxy, Croats – Catholicism), significantly affects not only its national culture but also the intercultural communication within the country. The aim of the article is to explain how the effects of the last war affect contemporary intercultural communication in B&H

When Is a Robot a Human? Hope, Myth, and Humanity in Bernard Beckett's "Genesis"
No full textThis chapter discusses the role of hope in Bernard Beckett’s New Zealand young adult novel Genesis (2006). It looks at how the author employs allusions to ancient myth and philosophy (Plato) to place the topic in a wider context, in particular to shed light on the notion of false hope. Mainly, this chapter focuses on the novel’s protagonist Anax’s (false) hope, as expressed in her uncritical belief in her state’s ideology. It also explores the crucial part which myth plays in creating this false hope and how hope, in combination with myth, is employed by the author to give readers the misleading impression that Anax is human, rather than a robot. Genesis’ allusions to ancient myths help its readers place Anax’s and Adam’s (a human character) views and actions into a wider context and understand how hope, as an emotion which is central to our humanity, has always been a decisive motivator for human decision-making (both on the personal and on the state level) and for cultural progress, and will still be in the future.Book chapter in the volume: Katarzyna Marciniak, ed., Our Mythical Hope: The Ancient Myths as Medicine for Hardships of Life in Children's and Young Adults' Culture, in the series "Our Mythical Childhood", Warsaw: University of Warsaw Press, 2021, 836 pp.

On multistep interval methods for solving the initial value problem
No full textAbstractIn this paper we shortly complete our previous considerations on interval versions of Adams multistep methods [M. Jankowska, A. Marciniak, Implicit interval multistep methods for solving the initial value problem, Comput. Meth. Sci. Technol. 8(1) (2002) 17–30; M. Jankowska, A. Marciniak, On explicit interval methods of Adams–Bashforth type, Comput. Meth. Sci. Technol. 8(2) (2002) 46–57; A. Marciniak, Implicit interval methods for solving the initial value problem, Numerical Algorithms 37 (2004) 241–251]. It appears that there exist two families of implicit interval methods of this kind. More considerations are dealt with two new kinds of interval multistep methods based on conventional well-known Nyström and Milne–Simpson methods. For these new interval methods we prove that the exact solution of the initial value problem belongs to the intervals obtained. Moreover, we present some estimations of the widths of interval solutions. Some conclusions bring this paper to the end
A man in Petersburg. Private life of an official in the capital of the tsars
No full textThe protagonist of the article is a man, a Pole born in Vilnius a few months before the outbreak of the November Uprising, who managed to realize the dream of a career in the capital of the tsars.

The city was a place where he matured, where he became independent, where his vision of the world was strengthening, where he pursued his passions. We learn about his private life on the Neva primarily from correspondence with his family – father, mother, half-siblings, and friends.Publikacja dofinansowana przez Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie
