El feminismo de Estado en España: El Instituto de la Mujer (1983-2003)
No full textDesde aproximadamente los años setenta se han fundado en la mayor parte de los países del mundo instituciones cuyo principal cometido reside en mejorar la condición de las mujeres como grupo y erosionar las desigualdades entre éstas y los hombres. También se han establecido organismos similares en los ámbitos regional y local. En ciencias sociales este conjunto de instituciones se denomina "feminismo de Estado", "feminismo institucional" o "feminismo oficial", conociéndose como "feministas de Estado" a las personas que trabajan en estos "organismos (o agencias) de igualdad" o "instituciones feministas" (McBride y Mazur 2004, 2; Stetson y Mazur 1995, 1-2).
Properties of extremal convex bodies
No full textIn 1948 Besicovitch proved that an affine image of a regular hexagon may be inscribed into an arbitrary planar convex body. We prove Besicovitch's result using a variational approach based on special approximation by triangles and generalize the Besicovitch theorem to a certain new class of hexagons.
We survey the results on the Banach-Mazur distance between different classes of convex bodies. We hope that our generalization of the Besicovitch theorem may become useful for estimation of the Banach-Mazur distance between planar convex bodies. We examined our special approximation by triangles in some specific cases, and it showed a noticeable improvement in comparison with known general methods.
We also consider the Banach-Mazur distance between a simplex and an arbitrary convex body in the three-dimensional case. Using the idea of an inscribed simplex of maximal volume, we obtain a certain related algebraic optimization problem that provides an upper estimate.October 201
Censor as a Co-Author of the Film
No full textMazur recenzuje książkę Anny Misiak pt. Kinematograf kontrolowany. Cenzura filmowa w kraju socjalistycznym i demokratycznym (PRL i USA). Analiza socjologiczna. Mimo że praca Misiak analizuje dwa odmienne ustroje i dotyczy dwóch różnych rodzajów ograniczeń, innych rozmiarów i form represji, a także odmiennego natężenia działań cenzorskich i różnych źródeł tego typu aktywności, skala podobieństw zaskakuje. Misiak analizuje zjawisko cenzury zarówno w kontekście filmoznawczym, jak i socjologicznym.Mazur reviews Anna Misiak’s book Cinema Under Control: Film Censorship in Socialist and Democratic Countries (Socialist Poland and USA). A Sociological Analysis (Kinematograf kontrolowany. Cenzura filmowa w kraju socjalistycznym i demokratycznym /PRL i USA/. Analiza socjologiczna). Although Misiak considers two different forms of government and two different types of restrictions, dimensions and forms of repression, and different intensity of censors’ activity as well as reasons for such activity, the scale of the similarities between the two worlds of censorship is surprising. Misiak considers censorship both in the context of film studies and from the point of view of a sociologist
Decomposability of von Neumann Algebras and the Mazur Property of Higher Level
No full textAbstractThe decomposability number of a von Neumann algebra ℳ (denoted by dec(ℳ)) is the greatest cardinality of a family of pairwise orthogonal non-zero projections in ℳ. In this paper, we explore the close connection between dec(ℳ) and the cardinal level of the Mazur property for the predual ℳ* of ℳ, the study of which was initiated by the second author. Here, our main focus is on those von Neumann algebras whose preduals constitute such important Banach algebras on a locally compact group G as the group algebra L1(G), the Fourier algebra A(G), the measure algebra M(G), the algebra LUC(G)*, etc. We show that for any of these von Neumann algebras, say ℳ, the cardinal number dec(ℳ) and a certain cardinal level of the Mazur property of ℳ* are completely encoded in the underlying group structure. In fact, they can be expressed precisely by two dual cardinal invariants of G: the compact covering number κ(G) of G and the least cardinality ᙭(G) of an open basis at the identity of G. We also present an application of the Mazur property of higher level to the topological centre problem for the Banach algebra A(G)**.</jats:p
Missions <i>Ad Gentes</i> in the Teaching of Bishop Jerzy Mazur SVD
No full textW ciągu 10 lat posługi przewodniczącego Komisji Episkopatu Polski ds. Misji bp Jerzy Mazur SVD twórczo i aktywnie włączał się w animację i formację Kościoła w Polsce. Szczytem jego zaangażowania był IV Krajowy Kongres Misyjny w 2015 r., poprzedzony sympozjami misjologicznymi na UKSW w Warszawie, licznymi wystąpieniami w mediach oraz publikacjami propagującymi misje. W artykule prezentujemy syntezę nauczania bp. Jerzego Mazura na temat misji. Jest ono mocno osadzone na magisterium Soboru Watykańskiego II, charyzmacie Zgromadzenia oraz ostatnich papieży. Poczynając od trynitarnych źródeł misji, omawiamy tematy, które są bardzo często poruszane przez autora: powołanie misyjne, uczniowie-misjonarze, Maryja jako Misjonarka oraz formy zaangażowania misyjnego. Bp Jerzy Mazur aktywizował środowisko misyjne w Polsce poprzez organizowanie różnych wydarzeń o zasięgu ogólnopolskim a także publikacje skierowane do młodzieży i dorosłych.During 10 years of his service as the chairman of the Polish Episcopal Commission for Missions, Bishop Jerzy Mazur SVD has creatively and actively involved in the animation and formation of the Church in Poland. The culmination of his involvement was the 4th National Missionary Congress in 2015, preceded by missiological symposia at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw, numerous media appearances and publications promoting missions. In the article we present a synthesis of Bishop Jerzy Mazur’s teaching on the mission. It is firmly based on the magisterium of the Second Vatican Council, the charism of the Congregation (the SVDs) and the recent popes. Starting from the Trinitarian sources of mission we focus on topics that are very often discussed by the author: missionary vocation, missionary disciples, Mary as Missionary and forms of missionary involvement. Bishop Jerzy Mazur has activated the missionary community in Poland by organizing various nationwide events as well as publications addressed to young people and adults

Summary:
High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, that develops within the first 2–5 days in rapidly ascending individuals at altitudes above 2,500-3,000 m. The clinical features are cyanosis, tachypnoea,tachycardia and elevated body temperature generally not exceeding 38.5 °C. It is often severe and potentially fatal manifestation of acute mountain sickness (AMS).
The aim of this study was to assess the methods of prevention and treatment of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). Our study material consisted of publications, which were found in PubMed, ResearchGate and Google Scholar databases. The first step was to find proper publications from the last 30 years .The second step was to carry out an overview of the found publications.
Gradual ascent and staged ascent are the most effective methods of prevention of HAPE Pharmacologic prophylaxis with nifedipine should only be considered for individuals with a history of HAPE. Before initiating treatment of HAPE differential diagnosis should be done. Descent shoud be initaited and oxygen therapy shoud be started when HAPE is suspected or diagnosed. If these methods are unavailable, nifedipine or Gamow bag can be used.
Key words: high altitude pulmonary edema, HAPE, prevention, treatmen
The forgotten Genius. Prof. Marian Mazur and the Polish School of Cybernetics
No full textProf. Marian Mazur (1909–1983) był inżynierem elektrykiem, specjalistą w zakresie elektrotermii oraz twórcą polskiej szkoły cybernetyki. Jest autorem dwóch pionierskich w skali światowej teorii: Cybernetycznej teorii układów samodzielnych (1966) i Jakościowej teorii informacji (1970). W pracy Cybernetyka i charakter (1976) odniósł teorię systemów autonomicznych (tj. takich, które mają zdolność sterowania i przeciwstawiania się utracie tej zdolności) do człowieka będącego przykładem systemu autonomicznego i zdefiniował jego charakter jako zespół sztywnych parametrów sterowniczych. Parametry te nie poddają się wpływom otoczenia, z wyjątkiem oddziaływań niszczących. Oznacza to, że charakter człowieka jest nieprzerabialny, a w konflikcie charakteru z sytuacją należy zmienić sytuację. Jest to podejście odmienne od przyjętego w psychologii. Analizując sposoby przetwarzania przez system autonomiczny materii, energii i informacji, Marian Mazur wyodrębnił pięć rodzajów ludzkich charakterów, porządkując je w kolejności od przewagi rozpraszania nad gromadzeniem do ich gromadzenia. Znajomość zasad rządzących postępowaniem każdego z charakterów pozwala przewidzieć zachowanie ludzi o danym charakterze w każdej sytuacji i umożliwia wskazanie im takiego obszaru działalności, w którym będą odnosić największe sukcesy. Cybernetyczna teoria charakterów ma zatem szerokie możliwości stosowania jej w oświacie, psychologii oraz teorii organizacji i zarządzania jako metoda ułatwiająca podejmowanie decyzji optymalnych.Professor Marian Mazur (1909-1983) was the electrical engineer, specialized in electrothermics, and the founder of the Polish Cybernetics School. Prof. Mazur is the author of two, worldwide groundbreaking theories: "The theory of the autonomous cybernetic systems" (1966) and "The qualitative theory of information" (1970). In his work "Cybernetics and character" (1976) he related the autonomous systems theory (i.e. able to control itself and able to preserve this ability) to a human being as an example of an autonomous system; he further defined a human character as a set of rigorous control parameters. These parameters cannot be influenced by the environment, except for the destructive effects. It means the human character is non-convertible, and in case of a conflict between a character and a situation, it is the situation that should be changed. This approach varies from that applied in psychology. By analyzing how the autonomous system proceeds the matter, the energy and information, Prof. Marian Mazur defined five kinds of human characters, putting them in order according to the extent of their ability to collect and distract. The knowledge of the basic rules that determine each character's actions allows predetermining actions of a human being with a particular character in every situation. It also enables indicating the most appropriate range of activity for them to succeed. Thus, the cybernetic theory of characters can be widely applied in education, psychology, and the organization and management theory, including human resources, as a method for optimizing the decision-making process

Features of cyclical development in the economy of Russia. The supervisor of studies: the senior lecturer, the doctor of economic sciences Misko Oleg Nikolaevich. Directions: Economics, Department of Economic History. Relevance of the research topic. The new realities of the economy lead to a rethinking of many seemingly well-established and unshakable interpretations of theoretical problems, one of which are cycles and crises. The goal of the final qualifying work is to identify the measures necessary to move from stagnation to new economic growth, based on the causes and peculiarities of economic fluctuations arising from the cyclical development of the post-Soviet Russian economy. The author considers the history of the development of economic thought on the basis of the work of domestic and Western economists in the field of cyclical fluctuations and crises.
