Macroeconomic determinants of agricultural preferential investment credit in Poland
Get PDFIn the paper the impact of macroeconomic determinants on the number and value of agricultural investment preferential credits in Poland is examined. This kinds of determinants are of an exogenous character and they cannot be controlled by individual farm. They are related to economic growth, price level changes, monetary policy, inflation, changes in foreign trade conditions. The econometric analysis showed that macroeconomic environment influenced farmers’ credit decisions at number and value of taken credits. The statistically significant variables in the case of these measures were the index of price relations of sold agricultural products to goods and services purchased by private farms (“price gap”), interest rate of central bank and real interest rate paid by farmers. Somewhat surprisingly, neither rate of GDP growth nor real effective exchange rate affected the scope of credits. In the case of GDP rate, the result can suggest that farmers expectations does not depend on current phase of business cycle. The reason of luck the influence of terms of foreign exchange can be explained partly by relatively low share of agricultural products in foreign trade turnover.preferential credit, farmers, macroeconomic determinants, Agricultural Finance,
Alina Ashbrook letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, October 19, 1914
No full textAlina Ashbrook, a resident of Mingo Junction, Ohio, sent this letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association on October 19, 1914, to request campaigning materials for her town. She had visited Columbus and had heard about advertising balloons which would be used to endorse women's suffrage, and wanted to display them in Mingo Junction as well.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
Metáfora, sus funciones y características en Moneda de tres caras de Francisco Hernández
Get PDF81 páginas. Especialización en Literatura Mexicana del Siglo XX.La presente investigación ofrece un análisis integral de la metáfora en el libro Moneda de tres caras de Francisco Hernández. Hoy en día la metáfora se percibe no sólo como una figura retórica, cuya principal función consiste en embellecer el discurso e incrementar su fuerza expresiva, sino como una herramienta cognitiva que predefine nuestra forma de percibir la realidad. Por lo tanto, el análisis de las metáforas en los tres poemarios que conforman el libro permite comprender cómo se manifiesta a nivel lingüístico la visión del mundo del autor, sus creencias e ideales. El trabajo estudia las funciones semánticas de dicho tropo, en particular, establece relaciones entre la metáfora y el tema de la locura como el motivo central del libro, el pensamiento mitopoético del autor y algunas nociones propias a la poesía de la época posmoderna, tales como la oposición al mundo capitalista y el desvanecimiento del yo lírico. Asimismo, el trabajo analiza los tipos de las metáforas más recurrentes en correlación con las preocupaciones estéticas del poeta, así como sus principios de la construcción metafórica, en específico, los métodos de la desautomatización de símbolos arquetípicos y metáforas comunes. De esta manera, la investigación permite, por un lado, entender mejor el sistema de ideas de Moneda de tres caras, y, por el otro, acercarse a la comprensión de la técnica poética de Francisco Hernández.Esta investigación recibió apoyo del Sistema Nacional de Posgrados (SNP), del Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías (CONAHCYT
Force of Nature: Alina Scholtz and the Empowerment of Women on Mid-Century Landscape Design

Her diverse portfolio ranged from palace gardens to housing estates and playgrounds. Her realisations were changeable in time, as a living matter of plants, which are led by the sun and water, create an architectural mass and systems of components in the urban landscape.From the beginning, landscape architecture, similarly to interior design, was treated as a “decorative” addition to “prime” architecture.2 Women dominated the discipline. Over the course of her career, Scholtz has worked with many aspiring women architects, landscape architects and urban planners whose names are unknown. Alina Scholtz was an exception to the rule. She was the leader of the landscape architecture team strongly feminised - in the „Zieleń” („Greenery”) studio at the Biuro Odbudowy Stolicy (BOS)3. She made major contributions to the International Federation of Landscape Architects4 and the SARP5 conferences, promoting the value of greenery designs in reconstructing cities after WWII and advocating Poland’s opinions on the subject on a global scale.The methodology will include an analysis of the documents belonging to archives of the BOS in Warsaw, the Landscape Architecture department, archives of the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław, archives of the Frederyk Chopin Museum in Żelazowa Wola and National Archive in Warsaw, Otwock section, an interview with the Centrala Group, Małgorzata Kuciewicz and Simone De Iacobis, who were responsible for the exhibition on Alina Scholtz in Warsaw, in 2022, and study of photographs, official correspondence as well as letters to the Scholtz family and drawings and publications related to the subject.1 Czerniewska-Andryszczyk, Klara, Ewa Perlińska-Kobierzyńska, Natalia Budnik, Małgorzata Kuciewicz, Simone De Iacobis.
