“Poland represented existential experiences of resistance, political experiences and intellectual impact”. Marek Zybura in conversation with Wolfgang Templin, the author of the German biography of Józef Piłsudski
No full textWolfgang Templin (born in 1948) was active in the democratic resistance in the former GDR. He co‑founded the party Bündnis 90 in reunified Germany and was writer and author of history books. In the conversation with Marek Zybura (born in 1957) —the Chair of History of Literature and Culture of Germany in the Willy Brandt Centre of German and European Studies at the University of Wroclaw—Templin discusses the origins of his Piłsudski biography (2022), which is being published in the Polish translation by Bellona in Warsaw
'Choicest Varieties of Celery' illustration
No full text"Choicest Varieties of Celery" is the headline next to a drawing of Kalamazoo celery, a new variety promoted on p. 11 of the trade catalog "Beautiful Flowers from the Calla Greenhouses, Calla, Ohio" (1899). The illustration shows a bunch of celery with the letters of the name "Kalamazoo" arranged in a vertical column. The catalog was published by Lewis Templin and Sons Seed Company (Calla, Ohio), which was among the largest mail-order seed houses in the United States during the mid- to late 1800s. Pennsylvania native Lewis Templin moved to Ohio in 1822 and started his nursery in 1845 in Canfield. In 1866 Templin and four sons built a greenhouse at Loveland Station (later renamed "Calla"). The business had a well-deserved reputation for quality products and for generating its financial success solely from small, individual orders. Templin's son Mark produced the firm's catalogs, including "Beautiful Flowers from the Calla Greenhouses." An estimated 300,000 catalogs were distributed annually. A fire destroyed the company's entire spring crop in January 1892, but afterwards the firm rebuilt on an even larger scale. Lewis Templin died in 1899. His sons continued operating the business until 1907, when increased competition and rising costs caused it to fail

Proposed Topic: Registered in SIS:NO Date of registration: Object: Imperialism, geopolitics, World Order Title: Imperialism and the Rise of China Problem: Is the rise of China comparable to the UK or US imperialistic rise? Can we learn anything from their strategy to determine China's future behaviour? Research Questions: What does the behaviour of the British and American empires tell us about the future behaviour of China? Is China's involvement in the international community comparable to the role of previous empires? Goal: To compare and evaluate the foreign policy and involvement of China in the international community to the actions and behaviour of the British and American empires from approximately 1860 - 1965 to determine whether or not this can give insight into China's future international activity. Interest of Problem China's opening and growth in the second half of the 20th century caused a shift in the..

Women as directors of NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics: Defining experiences and leadership styles
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine the personal and professional experiences perceived by NCAA Division I female intercollegiate directors of athletics. This qualitative piece sought to gain knowledge about female directors of athletics within their workplace environments and their leadership lifestyles. Data was collected through interviewing the participants (N=9) over the telephone. The interviews were semi-structured and open-ended to follow a guided interview guide approach. Using social constructivism and narrative analysis along with a hybrid thematic analysis approach of both inductive and deductive interpretation, data analysis revealed four hierarchical order themes with subcategorical first- and second-order themes. The four major themes that emerged from the data were personal attitudes towards leadership, experiences within current leadership position, thoughts on being a female director of athletics, and contributors to leadership success
Depth, shading, and stylization in stereoscopic cinematography
No full textDue to the constantly increasing focus of the entertainment industry on stereoscopic imaging, techniques and tools that enable precise control over the depth impression and help to overcome limitations of the current stereoscopic hardware are gaining in importance. In this dissertation, we address selected problems encountered during stereoscopic content production, with a particular focus on stereoscopic cinema. First, we consider abrupt changes of depth, such as those induced by cuts in films. We derive a model predicting the time the visual system needs to adapt to such changes and propose how to employ this model for film cut optimization. Second, we tackle the issue of discrepancies between the two views of a stereoscopic image due to view-dependent shading of glossy materials. The suggested solution eliminates discomfort caused by non-matching specular highlights while preserving the perception of gloss. Last, we deal with the problem of filmgrainmanagement in stereoscopic productions and propose a new method for film grain application that reconciles visual comfort with the idea of medium-scene separation.Aufgrund der ständig steigenden Beachtung der stereoskopische Abbildung durch die Unterhaltungsindustrie, gewinnen Techniken und Werkzeuge an Bedeutung, die eine präzise Steuerung der Tiefenwahrnehmung ermöglichen und Einschränkungen der gegenwärtigen stereoskopischen Geräte überwinden. In dieser Dissertation adressieren wir ausgewählte Probleme, die während der Erzeugung von stereoskopischen Inhalten auftreten, mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf der stereoskopischen Kinematographie. Zuerst betrachten wir abrupte Tiefenänderungen, wie sie durch Filmschnitte hervergerufen werden. Wir leiten ein Modell her, das die Zeit vorhersagt, die für das menschliche Sehsystem notwendig ist, um sich an solche Änderungen der Tiefe zu adaptieren, und schlagen vor wie dieses Modell für Schnittoptimierung angewendet werden kann. Danach gehen wir das Problem der Unstimmigkeiten zwischen den zwei Ansichten eines stereoskopischen Bildes, infolge der sichtabhängigen Schattierung von glänzenden Materialien, an. Die vorgeschlagene Lösung eliminiert das visuelle Unbehagen, welches von nicht zusammenpassenden Glanzlichtern verursacht wird, indessen bewahrt sie die Glanzwahrnehmung. Zuletzt behandeln wir das Problem des Filmkornsmanagements in stereoskopischen Produktionen und schlagen eine neue Methode für das Hinzufügen vom Filmkorn vor, die die visuelle Behaglichkeit mit der Idee der Medium-Szenen-Trennung in Einklang bringt

Small river power plants
No full textW pracy skoncentrowano się na małych elektrowniach wodnych, ze względu na ich niewykorzystywany potencjał w Polsce. Przeważający nizinny charakter ukształtowania terenu nie sprzyja budowaniu elektrowni na rzekach, mimo to występują niewykorzystywane na potrzeby energetyki odcinki rzek, na których można zainstalować tzw. małe elektrownie wodne. Po to, aby zlokalizować optymalne miejsce pod budowę elektrowni, należy nie tylko brać pod uwagę aspekty ekonomiczne, ale również ekologiczne i społeczne. Praca poświęcona jest tematyce racjonalnego wyszukiwania lokalizacji pod ich budowę z wykorzystaniem systemów informacji geograficznej. Cel osiągnięto głównie poprzez przedstawienie kosztów inwestycyjnych (cena budowy MEW).The article says about small hydroelectric power plants due to their unused potential in Poland. The predominant lowland topography is not conducive to building a power plant on the rivers, but there are still unused rivers streches on which you can install small hydropower plants. To find the optimum location for the plants should not only consider economical aspects, but also environmental and social. This article is also about searching for a rational location of plants with the use of Geographic Information Systems. This was achieved primarily by the presentation of the investment costs (construction costs of their building)
