All Is (Not) Lost: Myth in the Shadow of the Holocaust in "Bezsenność Jutki" [Jutka's Insomnia] by Dorota Combrzyńska-Nogala
No full textThe article is a case study of Bezsenność Jutki [Jutka’s Insomnia] by a Polish author Dorota Comrzyńska-Nogala (2012). The eponymous character is closed in the Łódź ghetto, where the only way to forget about the horror of the Holocaust is by listening to her grandfather’s bedtime stories, including the Cretan myth about the Daedalus, Minotaur, Theseus, and Ariadne. Drawing on bibliotherapy, I argue that these stories serve as therapeutical tools for Jutka and give her hope for a better future. Simultaneously, Bezsenność Jutki may be seen as a book granting the young readers hope, despite representing the Holocaust and atrocities of WWII.Book chapter in the volume: Katarzyna Marciniak, ed., Our Mythical Hope: The Ancient Myths as Medicine for Hardships of Life in Children's and Young Adults' Culture, in the series "Our Mythical Childhood", Warsaw: University of Warsaw Press, 2021, 836 pp.

Kotick the Saviour: From Inferno to Paradise with Animals
No full textRudyard Kipling’s short story “The White Seal”, published in 1893 and incorporated into his Jungle Book a year later, is amenable to multiple interpretations. Today, the dominating approach to this story is influenced by criticism of postcolonial literature. The author offers a different insight by considering an underexploited layer of the text. He proposes to unravel the web of mythological/religious references and radical ecological demands – a web that determines the story’s originality and makes its animal protagonist, Kotick the White Seal, a bearer of hope for the readers also in our times.Book chapter in the volume: Katarzyna Marciniak, ed., Our Mythical Hope: The Ancient Myths as Medicine for Hardships of Life in Children's and Young Adults' Culture, in the series "Our Mythical Childhood", Warsaw: University of Warsaw Press, 2021, 836 pp.

When Is a Robot a Human? Hope, Myth, and Humanity in Bernard Beckett's "Genesis"
No full textThis chapter discusses the role of hope in Bernard Beckett’s New Zealand young adult novel Genesis (2006). It looks at how the author employs allusions to ancient myth and philosophy (Plato) to place the topic in a wider context, in particular to shed light on the notion of false hope. Mainly, this chapter focuses on the novel’s protagonist Anax’s (false) hope, as expressed in her uncritical belief in her state’s ideology. It also explores the crucial part which myth plays in creating this false hope and how hope, in combination with myth, is employed by the author to give readers the misleading impression that Anax is human, rather than a robot. Genesis’ allusions to ancient myths help its readers place Anax’s and Adam’s (a human character) views and actions into a wider context and understand how hope, as an emotion which is central to our humanity, has always been a decisive motivator for human decision-making (both on the personal and on the state level) and for cultural progress, and will still be in the future.Book chapter in the volume: Katarzyna Marciniak, ed., Our Mythical Hope: The Ancient Myths as Medicine for Hardships of Life in Children's and Young Adults' Culture, in the series "Our Mythical Childhood", Warsaw: University of Warsaw Press, 2021, 836 pp.

Methodological proposal for the application of international benchmarking in order to assess the quality of virtual higher education
No full textL'objectiu d'aquest treball consisteix a proporcionar una metodologia de benchmarking que permeti a les universitats que ofereixin educació virtual comparar-se amb les millors universitats en l’àmbit internacional a fi de millorar la qualitat de la seva educació virtual. Per tal de comprovar la idoneïtat de la metodologia proposada, aquesta s'aplica a la Universitat Virtual de Polònia (PUW). Com a universitat sòcia (líder) es tria la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). El benchmarking que s’ha fet ha permès obtenir uns resultats sòlids per a l'elaboració i posterior implantació d'un complet pla d'acció de millora que permetrà millorar a curt i mitjà termini la qualitat de l'educació virtual de la Universitat Virtual de Polònia. Per això, es conclou que la metodologia de benchmarking proposada és adequada per a avaluar i millorar la qualitat de l'educació superior virtual.This research focuses on providing a benchmarking methodology that allows any university offering virtual education (e-learning or b-learning) to compare itself to the best international universities in order to improve the quality of the virtual education offered. In order to verify the adequacy of the proposed methodology, it has been applied to the Polish Virtual University (PUW). On the other hand, the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) was chosen as the leading partner university. The benchmarking performed has allowed the author to obtain solid results in order to draw up and implement a complete action plan for improvement, which will make it possible to increase, in the short and medium terms, the quality of the virtual education offered by PUW. It is therefore concluded that the proposed benchmarking methodology is adequate in order to assess and improve the quality of virtual higher education.El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en proporcionar una metodología de benchmarking que permita a las universidades que ofrezcan educación virtual compararse con las mejores universidades a nivel internacional al objeto de mejorar la calidad de su educación virtual.

Computational Aspects of Extending the Shapley Value to Coalitional Games with Externalities
No full textUntil recently, computational aspects of the Shapley value were only studied under the assumption that there are no externalities from coalition formation, i.e., that the value of any coalition is independent of other coalitions in the system. However, externalities play a key role in many real-life situations and have been extensively studied in the game-theoretic and economic literature. In this paper, we consider the issue of computing extensions of the Shapley value to coalitional games with externalities proposed by Myerson [21], Pham Do and Norde [23], and McQuillin [17]. To facilitate efficient computation of these extensions, we propose a new representation for coalitional games with externalities, which is based on weighted logical expressions. We demonstrate that this representation is fully expressive and, sometimes, exponentially more concise than the conventional partition function game model. Furthermore, it allows us to compute the aforementioned extensions of the Shapley value in time linear in the size of the input
