Wpływ popytu na pieniądz na bilans handlowy w Nigerii
No full textPrevious studies appear to have concentrated on the effects of currency depreciation on trade balance and macroeconomic policy, while the relationship between money demand and trade balance is scantly documented in the literature. This paper therefore examines the effects of money demand on trade balance in Nigeria. For the analysis conducted, annual time series data covering the period ranging from 1986 to 2018 were used along with the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) estimation technique. The long‑run coefficient of money demand was positively signed and statistically significant at 5% level. The positive relationship exhibited by the coefficient of money demand in the long run had a significant influence on trade balance. Thus, this implied that a unit percent increase in money demand would lead to a 1.57% significant increase in trade balance. The implication of this finding was that money demand had significantly influenced trade balance, enhancing the production of goods and fostering investment, which had led to increased growth. The paper recommends that the Central Bank of Nigeria through the Monetary Policy Committee should amend qualitative and quantitative credit control policies with the aim of improving lending to enhance the flow of credit to the real and exporting sector of the economy in order to bring about the desired effect on trade balance. However, the study is limited to an analysis of the existence of the relationship between money demand and trade balance using the Nigerian data set.Prowadzone przez różnych autorów badania koncentrują się na wpływie deprecjacji waluty na bilans handlowy oraz politykę makroekonomiczną, podczas gdy związek między popytem na pieniądz a bilansem handlowym jest słabo udokumentowany w literaturze. W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano wpływ popytu na pieniądz na bilans handlowy w Nigerii. Do analizy wykorzystano szeregi czasowe dla danych rocznych z okresu od 1986 do 2018 roku oraz autoregresyjny model o rozłożonych opóźnieniach (ARDL). Długookresowy współczynnik popytu na pieniądz miał znak dodatni i był statystycznie istotny na poziomie 5%. Pozytywne skorelowanie współczynnika popytu na pieniądz w dłuższej perspektywie miało znaczący wpływ na bilans handlowy. Oznaczało to, iż wzrost popytu na pieniądz o 1,57% prowadził do znacznego wzrostu bilansu handlowego o 1,57%. W konsekwencji można stwierdzić, iż popyt na pieniądz miał znaczący wpływ na bilans handlowy, prowadząc do zwiększenia produkcji towarów i promowania inwestycji, co zaowocowało zwiększonym wzrostem. Artykuł zawiera rekomendację, aby Bank Centralny Nigerii, za pośrednictwem Komitetu Polityki Pieniężnej, zmienił jakościową i ilościową politykę kontroli kredytowej tak, żeby usprawnić akcję kredytową i zwiększyć przepływ kredytów do eksportującego sektora gospodarki, w celu uzyskania pożądanego wpływu na bilans handlowy
„Cyrk jak ta lala”. O lalkach w cyrku i o cyrku z lalkami
No full textSztuka lalkarska to nie tyko teatr lalek, lecz także lalkowy kabaret, variétés
i cyrk lalkowy. W niniejszym tekście prezentowane są widowiska cyrku
lalkowego, spektakle inspirowane cyrkiem oraz zastosowania elementów lalkowych
w nouveau cirque. Omówiono również performanse rzeźbiarza Alexandra
Caldera, łączące cyrkowe inspiracje z animacją form plastycznych.
Autorka podjęła próbę wyjaśnienia, co skłania artystów do tworzenia widowisk
cyrku lalkowego czy korzystania z estetyki i tematyki cyrkowej w przedstawieniach
teatralnych.Puppetry art it is not only a puppet theatre, but also a puppet cabaret,
a variété and a puppet circus. The text presents puppet circus performances
and circus-inspired puppet theatre shows. It searches for the puppet-inspired
elements in nouveau cirque. Moreover, the article also discusses performances
made by sculptor Alexander Calder which combine circus inspirations and
animated objects. The author tries to explain reasons for preparing puppet
circus performances and the use of circus inspirations and aesthetics in
theatre performances
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Socioeconomic Factors Associated With Non-Vaccination Of Dogs Against Rabies In Ibadan, Nigeria
No full textRabies is a zoonotic viral disease that affects human, domestic and wild animals. It is an acute, highly contagious and fatal disease caused by a bullet – shaped, enveloped RNA virus 180-75nm known as Lyssavirus type 1 and marked by a1mg and variable incubation period (Oboegbulem,. 1994). It is transmitted to animals and humans through close contact with saliva from infected animals. Once symptoms of the disease develop, rabies is fatal to both animals and humans (WHO, 200l). In Nigeria where dog bites continue to be the main mode of transmission of the disease to man, it remains a serious public health hazard. (Thorne, 1954; Ezeokoli et al. 1984; Ikede and Adeyemi, 1984). Reliable data on rabies are scarce in many areas of the globe, making it difficult to assess its full impact on human and animal health (WHO 2001). Since dog has been established as the predominant vector of rabies in Nigeria, the most logical and cost – effective approach to rabies control is elimination of stray and owner less dogs combined with a programme of single mass immunization in the shortest possible time, at least 80% of the entire dog population (WHO, 2001). The retrospective dog rabies vaccination evaluated at Ibadan carried out by Adeyemi (2000) showed that there is low response of dog owners to routine control of dog rabies by immunization. Effective, practicable and acceptable control strategy can only be put in place after the socio-economic facts associated with dog owners in each community have been studied. This paper reports the socioeconomic factors associated with Non-vaccination of dogs in Ibadan city, Nigeria.

Cyrkowy hołd dla X muzy. Cirque du Soleil i spektakl Iris
No full textCelem autora jest opisanie procesu transkrypcji historii kina na język cyrku.
Artyści z Cirque du Soleil pokazali autorskie przedstawienie Iris, zainspirowane
legendarnymi filmami, takimi jak Przeminęło z wiatrem i Titanic.
Łącząc w sobie taniec, akrobację, wideo, sekwencje filmowane na żywo
i animacje, spektakl zabiera widzów w podróż po historii kina i różnych gatunków
filmowych, wprowadzając publiczność w świat tworzenia filmów.
Przechodząc od ilustracji do animacji, od czarno-białego obrazu do kolorowego,
widzowie mogą śledzić konstrukcję i dekonstrukcję sztuki filmowej
jako dziedziny i swoistego sposobu przekraczania granic tego, co możliwe.
Autor wysuwa tezę, że spektakl Iris ma przywołać uczucia towarzyszące
pierwszym widzom kinowym. Chodzi tu o nostalgię za czasem, gdy kino
przypominało cyrk. Należy pamiętać, że pierwsze pokazy filmowe miały
charakter jarmarczny, zbliżony do klasycznego cyrku. Współcześnie zarówno
kino, jak i cyrk mają status sztuki.The aim of the author is to describe the process of transcription of the history
of the cinema into the language of the circus. The artists from Cirque du Soleil
showed a performance Iris inspired by the legendary films such as Gone with the
Wind and Titanic. Combining dance, acrobatics, video, filmed live sequences and
animations, the performance takes the audience on a journey through the history
of the cinema and a diverse range of film genres, introducing them to the
world of filmmaking. Moving from illustration to animation, from the blackand-
white picture to color, viewers can follow the construction and deconstruction
of the film art as a discipline and a peculiar way of crossing the boundaries
of what is possible. The author puts forward a hypothesis that the show Iris aims
to evoke feelings that accompanied first cinema viewers. It refers to the nostalgia
for the time when the cinema was like a circus. It is worth remembering that
the first screenings were of the fair nature, similar to the classic circus. Today
both the cinema and circus have the status of art
Heterogeneous Class Size Effects: New Evidence from a Panel of University Students
No full textUsing administrative records from a UK university, we present evidence on the effects of class size on students' test scores. We estimate non-linear class size effects controlling for unobserved heterogen-eity of students and faculty. We find that: (i) at the average class size, the effect size is -0.108; (ii) the effect size is negative and significant only for the smallest and largest ranges of class sizes and zero in intermediate class sizes; (iii) students at the top of the test score distribution are more affected by changes in class size, especially when class sizes are very large. © The Author(s).

Childhood and Modernity: The Polish Reception of American Ideals, or a Few Remarks in the Margins of Sylwia Kuźma-Markowska’s book “Dziecko, rodzina i płeć w amerykańskich inicjatywach humanitarnych i filantropijnych w II Rzeczypospolitej”, Warszawa 2018, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego
No full textThe studied monograph concerns attempts at the transfer of modern, American ideals of childhood and the paradigms and norms of family life to Poland. Protective and pedagogic activities based on the rules of “modern philanthropy” are presented in a very noteworthy way, although the author does not employ numerous valuable studies and theoretic and methodological conceptions from Polish scholars.Omawiana książka dotyczy prób przeniesienia do Polski amerykańskich nowoczesnych ideałów dzieciństwa oraz wzorców i norm życia rodzinnego. Interesująco przedstawia działania opiekuńczo-wychowawcze prowadzone w oparciu o zasady „nowoczesnej filantropii”, ale nie wykorzystuje wielu wartościowych opracowań polskich uczonych oraz koncepcji teoretycznych i metodologicznych

Els llibres d'il·lustració infantil i juvenil en l'Educació Artística. Un cas concret a partir de l’autora Olga de Dios
No full textTreball Final de Grau en Mestre o Mestra d'Educació Primària (Pla de 2018). Codi: MP1840. Curs acadèmic: 2021/2022El treball de fi de grau que aneu a veure a continuació, és un projecte que consisteix en com es poden
treballar a les aules de primària els llibres de l’autora i il·lustradora Olga de Dios. Tractant de treballar
el llibre com a objecte artístic a nivell elemental. A més, de presentar a l’autora i il·lustradora, donarla a conèixer i veure els valors que transmet, també llegiríem quatre de les seues obres a l’aula com
són: “Leotolda”, “En familia”, “Rana de Tres Ojos”, i “Pájaro Amarillo”. Tot açò sumat a la
realització d’un quadern de classe on es colorejaria alguns dels seus personatges de les obres seguint
pautes a nivell curricular. Realitzaríem també una eixida a la biblioteca municipal, on a banda de
rebre una educació no formal, ens facilitaria una mica el fet d’endinsar-nos al món de la il·lustració
infantil, on allí dins, el professional encarregat ens guiarà pels llibres que hi haurà a la biblioteca. I,
per a concloure, elaboraríem un llibre creat per l’alumnat on seguint unes pautes establertes per Olga
de Dios al seu llibre “Leotolda” buscaríem fer una retroalimentació intentant contactar amb ella.
D’aquesta manera tancaríem el cicle que vam començar donant-la a conèixer com a escriptora i
il·lustradora, i exploraríem on està el límit de la creativitat del propi alumnat.The final degree project you are going to see below is a project that looks at how books by author and
illustrator Olga de Dios can be worked on in primary school classrooms. Considering the book as an
artistic object at an elementary level. Besides presenting the author and illustrator, introducing her,
and seeing the values she transmits, we would also read four of her works in the classroom, such as:
"Leotolda”, "In the family", "Three-Eyed Frog", and "Yellow Bird.". All this, in addition to the
creation of a class notebook in which some of his characters from her work would be colored
following guidelines at the curricular level. We would also go out to the local library, where in
addition to receiving a non-formal education, it would make it a little easier for us to enter the world
of children's illustration, where inside, the professional in charge will guide us through the books
which will be in the library. And, to conclude, we would make a book created by the students, where
following some guidelines established by Olga de Dios in her book "Leotolda" we would look for
feedback by trying to contact her. In this way, we would close the cycle that we started by presenting
her as an author and illustrator, and we would explore where the limit of creativity of the students
themselves is
Jeanne d’Arc: Was There a Prophet? Reflections on the Book of O. Togoyeva “The Heretic, who Became Holy”
No full textThis article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of O. I. Togoeva, proposed by her as a research method in the monograph «The heretic, who became holy». In it, the author attempted to prove that the national heroine of France, Jeanne d’Arc, was a visionary, a prophet who had predicted individual events of the Hundred Years War. Since contemporaries were not sure who its prophecies come from - from God or from the Devil, we had to perform several procedures using the «discretio spirituum» method, that is, the « discerning of spirits». The first two, held in Chinon and in Poitiers in the spring of 1429, ended with the acquittal of Joan of Arc, the third, completed in Rouen in 1431, with an accusation, and finally, the last - in 1450-1456, - restoration of a good name. One may agree that some contemporaries considered Joan of Arc as a prophet or presented her as a prophet, but the fact that the Maid of Orleans really was a prophet remained unproved. The article shows that other interpretations of the mission of Joan of Arc and her actions are possible, including an explanation of her actions not as a prophet, but as one of the captains of the royal army
