The Green Hour: Low-emission vehicles, PA-NJ radio broadcast, June 29, 2015
No full textOur society is structured in such a way that most of us are so dependent on cars that it is not easy to simply give them up. But you can make a choice as to what sort of car you have and what level of impact you have on our environment. Do you choose one which gives you 50 mpg or one that gives you 10 mpg? Or is electric? What sort of car do you really need? Listen to the experts as they offer insights on what the best choices available and why.Guests: Michael Thwaite, President of Plug-in America and the NJ Electric Auto Association, and Professor Monica Mazurek of the School of Engineering at Rutgers University.Direct link to broadcast audio,http://www.greenhourradio.com/the-cars-we-drive-say-a-lot-about-us-2/Promo by host (Gery Juleff):You can love your car even more by.......if you make the right choice for your community and the environment.Let’s keep it simple.a Most of us need a car to fully participate in our social and economic environment. And many people enjoy cars.b) But there is a price to pay every time we drive – to our own pocket and to the health of our communities and the environment.c) So we have an obligation to minimize that damage.d) There are many ways in which we can do that, including driving less. But the most important thing we can do is choose a car that does what we need it to do but with the least damage.e) There are many, many options out there for all types of vehicles, from low emission gasoline cars to electric vehicles.f) Find out more on www.greenhourradio.com and listen to our discussion with Michael Thwaite, President of Plug-in America and the NJ Electric Auto Association, and Professor Monica Mazurek of the School of Engineering at Rutgers University on www.panjradio.com all this week at 3 and 6pm or later in the week via the podcast on www.greenhourradio.comg) What are you waiting for?Gery JuleffHost of the 'Green Hour'www.greenhourradio.com [email protected] 529 0149The Green Hour is sponsored by our supporters at Duke Farms.

Sequential Derivatization of Polar Organic Compounds in Cloud Water Using O-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine Hydrochloride, N, O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide, and Gas-Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Analysis
No full textCloud water samples from Whiteface Mountain, NY were used to develop a combined sampling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GCMS) protocol for evaluating the complex mixture of highly polar organic compounds (HPOC) present in this atmospheric medium. Specific HPOC of interest were mono- and di keto-acids which are thought to originate from photochemical reactions of volatile unsaturated hydrocarbons from biogenic and manmade emissions and be a major fraction of atmospheric carbon. To measure HPOC mixtures and the individual keto-acids in cloud water, samples first must be derivatized for clean elution and measurement, and second, have low overall background of the target species as validated by GCMS analysis of field and laboratory blanks. Here, we discuss a dual derivatization method with PFBHA and BSTFA which targets only organic compounds that contain functional groups reacting with both reagents. The method also reduced potential contamination by minimizing the amount of sample processing from the field through the GCMS analysis steps. Once derivatized only gas chromatographic separation and selected ion monitoring (SIM) are needed to identify and quantify the polar organic compounds of interest. Concentrations of the detected total keto-acids in individual cloud water samples ranged from 27.8 to 329.3 ng mL-1 (ppb). Method detection limits for the individual HPOC ranged from 0.17 to 4.99 ng mL-1 and the quantification limits for the compounds ranged from 0.57 to 16.64 ng mL-1. The keto-acids were compared to the total organic carbon (TOC) results for the cloud water samples with concentrations of 0.607 to 3.350 mg L-1 (ppm). GCMS analysis of all samples and blanks indicated good control of the entire collection and analysis steps. Selected ion monitoring by GCMS of target keto-acids was essential for screening the complex organic carbon mixtures present at low ppb levels in cloud water. It was critical for ensuring high levels of quality assurance and quality control and for the correct identification and quantification of key marker compounds.Corrected proof of accepted manuscrip

The author and the reader – “Us and them” in Maria Edgeworth’s texts for children and young adults
No full textThe paper attempts to tackle the hyphenated self of Maria Edgeworth as Anglo-Irish writer in her
books for children and young adults, reflected not only in the fact of the occasional introduction
of Irish characters or Irish setting but also at the deeper level of the identity of the narrative voice
and the implied reader of these texts. It attempts to show that the Anglo/Irish ratio in the narrative
voice of Edgeworth’s texts is a fluctuating value, defining itself in the opposition to the implied
reader, whose identity is in turn constantly changing sides as well, hovering between the poles of
“us” and “them”

Macierzyństwo pod medycznym nadzorem. Wybrane aspekty medykalizacji macierzyństwa
No full textThe growing importance of medicine as a science, but also as a certain ideology, caused the medical supervision of different spheres of human life, not just those related to human health and the organism. Using the authority of medicine and its representants, medical discourse (re)constructs the meaning of motherhood, uses its own conceptual categories to describe the experience of performing the role of the mother, imposes their own interpretations of processes and problems inherent in this experience. In relation to the concept of Peter Conrad, author presents the selected practices of medicalization of motherhood and their possible consequences. In addition, the mother is shown as a person who learns in the context of experienced medicalization practices

No full textTekst w skróconej wersji został opublikowany przez autora jako: „Dziś będziesz ze Mną w raju. Najnowsza realizacja artystyczna Macieja Zychowicza i Adama Brinckena do słów Chrystusa na krzyżu”, „Wiadomości ASP” 85, 2019, s. 94–97 (przyp. red.).
Translated by Monika Mazurek.„Dziś będziesz ze Mną w raju” (Łk 23, 43) – słowa Chrystusa skierowane do jednego z ukrzyżowanych z Nim łotrów stały się tematem najnowszej realizacji wykonanej przez krakowski zespół artystów pod kierownictwem malarza Adama Brinckena i rzeźbiarza Macieja Zychowicza. Jesienią roku 2017 wykonali oni dekorację prezbiterium kościoła pw. św. Kazimierza w Bilczy koło Kielc wyobrażającą rozmowę Ukrzyżowanego z Dobrym Łotrem. Na wyposażenie składają się monumentalna grupa rzeźbiarska ukazująca Golgotę, ograniczona malarską formą przypominającą kształt pojedynczej steli, a także abstrakcyjny witraż ulokowany w niewielkim otworze okiennym (wyk. Krystyna i Bogusław Szczekan, Pracownia Artystyczna Witraży). Artykuł omawia oryginalnie zinterpretowany schemat ikonograficzny: dwa motywy, łączące się integralnie z przesłaniem słów Chrystusa – odpuszczeniem grzechów i obietnicą zbawienia. W świetle emanującym od Zbawiciela oraz w kontekście zapowiedzi zmartwychwstania ciał należy postrzegać pełnoplastycznie oddane partie ciała Dobrego Łotra. Natomiast wizerunek Chrystusa, wbrew chronologii narracji ewangelicznej, odczytywać trzeba jako Ukrzyżowanego i jednocześnie Zmartwychwstałego, gdyż Jego ciało nie nosi śladów cienia śmierci. Analizie poddano formalną stronę dekoracji malarsko- rzeźbiarskiej na tle innych tego rodzaju przedstawień pasyjnych i typów Dobrego Łotra. Dzieło Brinckena i Zychowicza zaprezentowano w kontekście wcześniejszych tego typu realizacji sakralnych. Pascha Chrystusa, rozumiana jako jedność wydarzeń Jego męki, śmierci i zmartwychwstania, związana ściśle z najistotniejszym dokonaniem Vaticanum II – odnową liturgiczną – była kilkakrotnie tematem wiodącym w pracach artystów. W żadnej jednak z nich nie wybrzmiały słowa Zbawiciela skierowane do Dobrego Łotra. W Bilczy stały się one tematem przewodnim, stanowiąc niejako echo dla wielu współczesnych refleksji obejmujących problematykę Miłosierdzia Bożego.“Today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43) – these words of Christ addressed to one of the thieves crucified with him became the subject of the latest project created by a Kraków-based team of artists led by the painter Adam Brincken and sculptor Maciej Zychowicz. In the autumn of 2017, they decorated the chancel of St. Casimir’s Church in Bilcza near Kielce, depicting a conversation between the Crucified and the Good Thief. The interior decoration consists of a monumental sculptural group depicting Golgotha, framed by a painted form resembling the shape of a single stele, as well as an abstract stained-glass window in a small window opening (made by Krystyna and Bogusław Szczekan, Pracownia Artystyczna Witraży). The article discusses an originally interpreted iconographic scheme: two motifs, integrally connected with the message of Christ – the forgiveness of sins and the promise of salvation. The fully rendered parts of the body of the Good Thief should be seen in the light emanating from the Saviour and in the context of the announcement of the resurrection of bodies. Contrary to the chronology of the evangelical narrative, the image of Christ must be read as the Crucified and at the same time Risen One, because his body does not bear traces of the shadow of death. The formal aspect of the painting and sculptural decoration was analyzed with regard to other such representations of the Passion and types of the Good Thief. The work by Brincken and Zychowicz has been presented in the context of earlier sacred works of this type. The Passover of Christ, defined as the unity of the events of his Passion, death and resurrection, closely related to the most important achievement of Vatican II – liturgical renewal – had been the leading theme in the works of the artists on several occasions. However, neither of them had engaged with the Saviour’s words addressed to the Good Thief. In Bilcza they became the leading theme, in a way responding to numerous contemporary reflections on the subject of Divine Mercy
