Survival in the Era of Chaos and in the Time of the Grand Collapse in Stanislaw Lem’s <i>Memoirs Found in a Bathtub</i>
No full textSurvival in the Era of Chaos and in the Time of the Grand Collapse in Stanislaw Lem’s Memoirs Found in a BathtubThe paper interprets Stanislaw Lem’s novel Memoirs Found in a Bathtub in the context of the writer’s experience of the occupation. Drawing from the information provided in the correspondence between Lem and Michael Kandel, the author points out the autobiographical allusions contained in the novel. The author also points to the references to the period during which the writer was hiding on the “Aryan side.” The author asks questions about historical topics relating to the everyday life of people living on “Aryan papers” during the occupation. Science fiction staffage and vague allusions to historical events in Lem’s prose have been read as personal, generational and family traumas.
Key words: Stanislaw Lem, Memoirs Found in a Bathtub, Lviv, memory studies, science fictio
Energy optimization in process systems and fuel cells /
No full textEnergy Optimization in Process Systems and Fuel Cells, Third Edition covers the optimization and integration of energy systems, with a particular focus on fuel cell technology. With rising energy prices, imminent energy shortages, and the increasing environmental impacts of energy production, energy optimization and systems integration is critically important. The book applies thermodynamics, kinetics and economics to study the effect of equipment size, environmental parameters, and economic factors on optimal power production and heat integration. Author Stanislaw Sieniutycz, highly recognized for his expertise and teaching, shows how costs can be substantially reduced, particularly in utilities common in the chemical industry. This third edition contains substantial revisions and modifications, with new material on catalytic reactors, sorption systems, sorbent or catalyst regenerators, dryers, and more. Presents a unified approach to the optimization and integration of energy systemsIncludes a large number of examples treating dynamical systemsProvides exposition showing the power of thermodynamicsContains a large number of maximum power analyses and their extensions.Includes bibliographical references and index.Online resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed May 23, 2018).Front Cover; Energy Optimizationin Process Systemsand Fuel Cells; Copyright; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgements; Chapter 1: Brief review of static optimization methods; 1.1.

La pénétration des sociétés multinationales dans les pays d'Europe de l'Est
No full textThe Penetration of Multinational Firms in the Countries of Eastern Europe.
In this study, the author has set three objectives: to set forth the legal framework evolved by the socialist countries to meet the needs created by the presence of western firms; to determine the importance of the implantation process of foreign firms in the socialist countries (by country and by branch); and to designate its principal characteristics.Dans cette étude, l'auteur s'est fixé trois objectifs : exposer les cadres juridiques créés dans les pays socialistes pour accueillir les firmes occidentales, déterminer la dimension du processus d'implantation (selon les pays et les branches) des firmes étrangères dans les pays socialistes et en déterminer les principales caractéristiques.Tyrka Stanislaw.

Narration as Revenge: the memories of Stanislaw Szmajzner
No full textO artigo analisa o livro Inferno em Sobibor: a tragédia de um adolescente judeu de Stanislaw Szmajzner, ex-prisioneiro do campo de extermínio de Sobibor na Polônia que, posteriormente, passou a residir no Brasil onde publicou suas memórias. Através da leitura do texto procura-se verificar a forma como é construída esta obra autobiográfica com base nas memórias de um sobrevivente de um campo de extermínio durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, identificando as suas características e os atritos existentes entre o relato e outras fontes. O livro de Szmajzner se encaixa no que Todorov estabeleceu como bom uso da memória, uma vez que utiliza o caso exemplar do autor para gerar uma lição, buscando impedir que casos análogos venham a se repetir no futuro, além de se estabelecer como um instrumento para que os crimes cometidos pelos algozes do autor não sejam esquecidos, utilizando a obra como uma forma de vingança.This article analyzes the book Hell in Sobibor: the tragedy of a Jewish teenager by Stanislaw Szmajzner, a former prisoner in the Nazi extermination camp in Sobibor that latter resided in Brazil where he published his memoirs. Based on the reading of the text we aim to verify how this autobiographical work is constructed based on the memory of a survivor of an extermination camp during World War II, identifying its characteristics and frictions between the report and other sources. Szmajzner’s book fits in what Todorov established as good use of the memory, since the exemplar case of the author is used to generate a lesson, intended to prevent that analog cases occur in the future. Also, the book is established as an instrument so that the crimes committed by the tormentors of the author are not forgotten, using the work as a form of revenge

It is determined its connection with another poetic works of epoch. The author marked the basic features of “New Wave” poetry, the main attention is payed to its humane motives. In accordance with them, the life becomes the main problem. The waiting hall, in the poem, changes from routine into philosophical space, showing existence category. A human face is characterized in this cut. Stanislaw Baranchak teaches the people to be more attentive to the world, to find the life philosophy in simple things and to appreciate its riches. The poetry doesn’t just depict, but calls and teaches, changing the world to better – it’s the main idea of publication, based on the analysis of Stanislaw Baranchak’s poem – “The whole life is in front of you…”Гемза Л.
