No full textThe letter belong in the Collections Leopolis of the Museum of Indepedence. Their author was Florentyna Skierska (nee Sturm) (1839–1890), addressee her friend Zofia Romanowiczówna (1842–1935). They give depiction of the live of women on the Eastern Borderlands at the end of the 19th century. The author described her whole life, marriage, bringing up the kinds. She commnted on the book she read, she confided her dilemmas. The correspondence is of high importance not only on a personal level, but also as reference material which presents customs of the era, their beliefs of women and the role in society.Publikacja dofinansowana przez Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie.

Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for Sturm-Liouville operators with distributional potentials
No full textTyt. z nagłówka.Pozostali autorzy artykułu: Fritz Gesztesy, Roger Nichols, Gerald Teschl.Bibliogr. s. 553-562.We systematically develop Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for singular differential operators on arbitrary intervals (a, b) ⊆ R associated with rather general differential expressions of the type [formula] where the coefficients p, q, r, s are real-valued and Lebesgue measurable on (a, b), with p ≠ 0, r > 0 a.e. on (a, b), and p−1, q, r, [formula] , and ƒ is supposed to satisfy [formula]. In particular, this setup implies that τ permits a distributional potential coefficient, including potentials in [formula]. We study maximal and minimal Sturm-Liouville operators, all self-adjoint restrictions of the maximal operator Tmax, or equivalently, all self-adjoint extensions of the minimal operator Tmin, all self-adjoint boundary conditions (separated and coupled ones), and describe the resolvent of any self-adjoint extension of Tmin. In addition, we characterize the principal object of this paper, the singular Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira m-function corresponding to any self-adjoint extension with separated boundary conditions and derive the corresponding spectral transformation, including a characterization of spectral multiplicities and minimal supports of standard subsets of the spectrum. We also deal with principal solutions and characterize the Friedrichs extension of Tmin. Finally, in the special case where τ is regular, we characterize the Krein-von Neumann extension of Tmin and also characterize all boundary conditions that lead to positivity preserving, equivalently, improving, resolvents (and hence semigroups).Dostępny również w formie drukowanej.KEYWORDS: Sturm-Liouville operators, distributional coefficients, Weyl-Titchmarsh theory, Friedrichs and Krein extensions, positivity preserving and improving semigroups
On some singular Sturm-Liouville equations and a Hardy type inequality
No full textThe main body of this dissertation can be divided into two separate topics. The first topic deals with a Hardy type inequality for functions belonging to the Sobolev space , where and is a smooth bounded domain in , . We show that for such functions , one has [ orm{partial^kpt{frac{partial^ju(x)}{d(x)^{m-j-k}}}}_{L^1(Omega)}leq Corm{u}_{W^{m,1}(Omega)}, ] where are non-negative integers such that and , and is a smooth positive function which coincides with near . The second topic deals with the study of the singular Sturm-Liouville operator {,} where . We develop a linear theory for such operator by introducing suitable weighted Sobolev spaces and prove existence and uniqueness for equations of the form under both homogeneous and non-homogeneous boundary data at the origin. In addition, the spectrum of the operator is fully described. Finally, we prove existence, non-existence and uniqueness results for positive solutions of the non-linear singular Sturm-Liouville equation , where , and are parameters.Ph.

Humanizm renesansowy w miastach Prus Królewskich
No full textArtykuł ukazał się w serii "Humanizm. Idee, nurty i paradygmaty humanistyczne w kulturze polskiej"We wstępie autor charakteryzuje region – wielokulturowy, mentalnie zakorzeniony w późnym średniowieczu. Za P. O. Kristellerem zauważa ścisły związek humanizmu z nowożytnym szkolnictwem, którego losy w Gdańsku, Elblągu i Toruniu czyni głównym tematem tekstu. Przypomina, że pruski humanizm kształtowała reformacja, w tym idee Johanna Sturma, postulującego pobożność opartą na retorycznym wykształceniu klasycznym.
W pierwszej części tekstu badacz omawia dzieje humanistycznych gimnazjów w Prusach Królewskich. Początki humanizmu w regionie datuje na początek XVI w. i wiąże z pobytem Ślązaków Laurentiusa Corivusa i Hierunymusa Aurimontanusa. Humaniści w Prusach pochodzili przeważnie z Niemiec i tam się kształcili (głównie Wittemberga) w duchu reformacji jako „religijnego ruchu edukacyjnego”.
Autor wskazuje elementy humanistyczne w nauczaniu w szkołach przykościelnych (mariacka w Gdańsku, staromiejska w Toruniu) i opisuje działalność pedagogiczną i literacką osób związanych z pruskimi gimnazjami humanistycznymi. Pierwsze, w Elblągu (1535), rozsławiły udramatyzowane deklamacje Gulielmusa Gnapheusa, po którego odejściu szkoła podupadła. Krytykuje to Johannes Placotomus, autor ciekawego programu nauczania, uwzględniającego liczne dzieła starożytne. Polemizowali z nim profesorowie gdańscy, pragnący większego uwzględnienia języka narodowego. Gimnazjum gdańskie (1558) gromadziło licznych humanistów: rektorów Johanna Hoppego i Heinricha Mollera, profesorów Achatiusa Cureus i Michalea Retella, autorów poezji i mów.
W drugiej części tekstu autor skupia się na pismach poświęconych edukacji humanistycznej i wprowadzaniu ich postulatów w życie. Omawia statuty gimnazjów w Gdańsku (Andreas Franckengerger, 1568) i Toruniu (Matthias Breu, 1568), centrów sztuk wyzwolonych i protestantyzmu. Mimo odmiennego rozłożenia akcentów w obu tekstach już we wstępie łączą się luterańska pobożność z erudycją humanistyczną. W zalecanych lekturach znalazły się dzieła Lutra czy Melanchtona, Biblia w grece, łacinie i niemieckim oraz teksty antyczne. W Toruniu Polacy uczyli się niemieckiego, a Niemcy – polskiego.
Następnie autor omawia dalsze dzieje obu szkół: gdańskiej, zreformowanej przez Jakoba Fabriciusa po upadku w czasie wojny z Batorym, oraz toruńskiej, uwikłanej w spory wyznaniowe i zreorganizowanej przez Heinricha Strobanda. Przy szkole działała oficyna Melchiora Neringa, tak jak gdańska drukarnia Rhodego propagująca idee humanistyczne.
Profesorowie toruńscy opracowali trzytomową encyklopedię programów i podręczników szkolnych Institutio literata, opatrzoną erudycyjnymi przedmowami. Równie kunsztowne były mowy z okazji utworzenia w Toruniu gymnasium academicum (1594), którego program autor analizuje jako przykład pokrewny szkołom gdańskiej i elbląskiej. Ambitne założenia realizowali m.in. rektor Mattias Nizolius, Konrad Graser Starszy i Konrad Graser Młodszy.
Jako ważny element funkcjonowania gimnazjów badacz wskazuje organizowanie publicznych dysput, deklamacji, przedstawień teatralnych, których przebieg i przykłady przedstawia.
W zakończeniu autor wskazuje cechy i warunki rozwoju humanizmu w Prusach Królewskich, zależnych kulturowo od luterańskich Niemiec, a politycznie i ekonomicznie od Polski, reprezentowanej głównie przez protestantów. Uczono się polskiego, a szkołom patronowały elity miejskie, nie władcy, co odróżniało humanistyczną kulturę pruską od niemieckiej, z której wyrosła. Gimnazja kształciły twórców i odbiorców kultury – elitę miejską, a humanizm spajał ludzi różnych narodowości i wyznań.In the introduction, the author characterises the analysed region – multicultural, mentally rooted in the late Middle Ages. After Paul Oskar Kristeller, he notes the close relationship between humanism and early modern education, whose fate in Gdańsk, Elbląg and Toruń is the main topic of the study. He reminds us that Prussian humanism was shaped by the Reformation, together with the ideas of Johann Sturm, who postulated piety based on classical rhetorical education.
In the first part of the text, the author discusses the history of humanistic gymnasiums in Royal Prussia. He dates the beginnings of humanism in the region to the early sixteenth century and connects them with the presence of two Silesians, Laurentius Corvinus and Hieronymus Aurimontanus. Humanists in Prussia mostly came from Germany and were educated there (mainly Wittenberg) in the spirit of the Reformation in the form of "religious educational movement".
The author points to the humanities in teaching in church schools (St Mary's school in Gdańsk, the Old Town School at Toruń) and describes the pedagogical and literary activities of people associated with Prussian humanistic gymnasiums. The first ones, at Elbląg (1535), made famous the dramatised declamations of Gulielmus Gnapheus; after he left the school, it declined. This was criticised by Johannes Placotomus, the author of an engaging curriculum that included numerous ancient works. Gdańsk professors argued with him, wanting a more significant contribution of the national language. The Gdańsk Gymnasium (1558) attracted many humanists: presidents Johann Hoppe and Heinrich Moller, professors Achatius Cureus and Michale Retell, authors of poetry and speeches.
In the second part of his study, the author focuses on writings devoted to humanistic education and the implementation of their postulates. He discusses the statutes of gymnasiums in Gdańsk (Andreas Franckengerger, 1568) and Toruń (Matthias Breu, 1568), centres of liberal arts and Protestantism. Despite the different accents, Lutheran piety and humanistic erudition are combined in the introduction to both texts. The recommended reading included works of Luther and Melanchthon, the Bible in Greek, Latin and German, as well as ancient texts. In Toruń, Poles learned German and Germans learned Polish.
Next, the author discusses the further history of both schools: Gdańsk Gymnasium, reformed by Jakob Fabricius after its fall during the war with King Stephen Báthory, and Toruń School, embroiled in religious disputes and reorganised by Heinrich Stroband. At the school, there was Melchior Nering's printing house operating, as did Rhode's Gdańsk printing house promoting humanistic ideas.
The Toruń professors have developed a three-volume encyclopaedia of curricula and textbooks Institutio literata, supplied with erudite preface. Equally elaborate were the speeches on the occasion of the foundation of gymnasium academicum (1594) in Toruń, whose curriculum is analysed by Awianowicz as an example similar to that of schools at Gdańsk and Elbląg. Ambitious plans were implemented by, among others, president Matthias Nizolius, Konrad Graser Senior and Konrad Graser Junior.
As an essential element of the functioning of gymnasiums, the researcher indicates the organisation of public disputes, declamations, and theatrical performances, the examples of which he presents. Toward the end, the author proposes the features and conditions of the development of humanism in Royal Prussia, culturally dependent on Lutheran Germany, and politically and economically on Poland, represented mainly by Protestants. The Polish language was taught, and schools were patronised by urban elites, not rulers, which distinguished the Prussian humanist culture from the German one from which it grew. The Royal Prussian Gymnasiums educated authors and recipients of culture – the urban elite; and humanism bonded people of various nationalities and denominations.Ewa Kuczyńsk

For all , , such that , it holds that , where is a smooth positive function which coincides with near , and denotes any partial differential operator of order . We also study a singular Sturm-Liouville equation on , with the boundary condition . Here and . We prescribe appropriate (weighted) homogeneous and non-homogeneous boundary conditions at 0 and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions. We study the regularity at the origin of such solutions. We perform a spectral analysis of the differential operator under homogeneous boundary conditions. Finally, we are interested in the equation on with boundary condition . Here , and is a bounded Radon measure on the interval . We identify an appropriate concept of solution for this equation, and we establish some existence and uniqueness results. We examine the limiting behavior of three approximation schemes. The isolated singularity at 0 is also investigated.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Hui Wan
The Plant Size-Place Effect: Agglomeration and Monopsony in Labour Markets
No full textThis paper shows, using data from both the US and the UK, that average plant size is larger in denser markets. However, many popular theories of agglomeration - spillovers, cost advantages and improved match quality - predict that establishments should be smaller in cities. The paper proposes a theory based on monopsony in labour markets that can explain the stylized fact - that firms in all labour markets have some market power but that they have less market power in cities. It also presents evidence that the labour supply curve to individual firms is more elastic in larger markets.Agglomeration, Labour Markets, Monopsony

Do IMF and World Bank Influence Voting in the UN General Assembly?
No full textUsing panel data for 188 countries over the period 1970-2002 this paper empirically analyzes the influence of the IMF and the World Bank on voting patterns in the UN General Assembly. Countries receiving adjustment programs and larger non-concessional loans from the World Bank vote more frequently in line with the average G7 country. The same is true for countries obtaining non-concessional IMF programs. Regarding voting coincidence with the US, World Bank (concessional and non-concessional) loans have a significant impact, while the IMF has not. These results are robust to the inclusion of control variables and method of estimation.IMF, World Bank, UN General Assembly, voting, aid
