Modification of nektonic fish distribution by piers and pile fields in an urban estuary
No full textLarge urban piers degrade habitat value for several estuarine benthic fish species by shading, but their effects on mobile nektonic species is less well understood due to sampling challenges. Dual Frequency Identification Sonar (DIDSON) allowed equal access to sampling in the water column of structured shaded and unshaded vs. open environments in both dark and light conditions by methods similar to video but without light. Sampling (n = 228, 5-minute transects) occurred under and around four large municipal piers of varying dimensions in the Hudson River estuary during day and night from summer and fall in 2007 - 2009. The distribution of small (5 - 25 cm in length) and large (25 – 850 cm) fishes were analyzed separately in recognition of functional guild differences. Small fishes occupied open water, shaded under-pier, and un-decked relict piling habitats, but were significantly more abundant during the day in open unshaded water than under adjacent piers or in piling habitats.. Small fish occurred under 3 of 4 piers of varying size and configuration at 10 - 20% of the median abundances of adjacent open water. However, while schools were rare under piers they could be very large, so that abundance greatly exceeded mean open water abundance variance so as to preclude confidence in differences among piers. The differences among habitats was not significant at night, and the difference among piers was also not significant at night. School membership for small fish appeared to mitigate adverse effects of shading and may influence scaling of their response to shading and could therefore influence pier design. Large (>25 cm) predatory fish were uncommon but responded similarly to habitat effects as did small fish. Habitats did not segregate fish by guild as small forage fish co-occurred in 65.8% of samples with large piscivores. Studies that provide species-specific and mechanistic interpretation of dynamic habitat use as well as further quantification of scaling effects could improve our understanding of how fishes respond to piers and other structures on urban shorelines.Peer reviewed
Measurements of 220Rn and 222Rn and CO2 emissions in soil and fumarole gases on Mt. Etna volcano (Italy) : implications for gas transport and shallow ground fracture

The definitive version was published in Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems 8 (2007): Q10001, doi:10.1029/2007GC001644.Measurements of 220Rn and 222Rn activity and of CO2 flux in soil and fumaroles were carried out on Mount Etna volcano in 2005–2006, both in its summit area and along active faults on its flanks. We observe an empirical relationship between (220Rn/222Rn) and CO2 efflux. The higher the flux of CO2, the lower the ratio between 220Rn and 222Rn. Deep sources of gas are characterized by high 222Rn activity and high CO2 efflux, whereas shallow sources are indicated by high 220Rn activity and relatively low CO2 efflux. Excess 220Rn highlights sites of ongoing shallow rock fracturing that could be affected by collapse, as in the case of the rim of an active vent. Depletion both in 220Rn and in CO2 seems to be representative of residual degassing along recently active eruptive vents.This work was funded by the Istituto Nazionale di

On Poetic Inhabiting of the World According to Kenneth White
No full textThe article constitutes an interpretation of a collection of essays by K. White La carte de Guido. Un pèlerinage europeén (2011), which serves the author to present the method of geopoetics as proposed by the author. The essays in question are also proof of his thesis which puts forth that writing is an „intellectual and existential geography”.Uniwersytet w Białymstoku2415
A Sr-Nd-Hf isotope characterization of dust source areas in Victoria Land and the McMurdo Sound sector of Antarctica
No full textDetermining the geographical provenance of dust provides crucial insight into the global dust cycle. For the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS), the importance of Southern hemisphere potential dust sources has been thoroughly investigated using radiogenic isotopes, whereas proximal dust source areas located on the periphery of the ice sheet remain poorly documented from a geochemical standpoint. In this work, we expand the existing isotopic (Srsingle bondNd) catalogue of dust and sand-sized sediments from Victoria Land and the McMurdo Sound sector, and incorporate Hf isotopic data to place additional constraints on dust source identification. The isotopic field for materials considered in this study is characterized by 87Sr/86Sr ratios ranging from 0.703 to 0.783, εNd between −12.01 and 6.36, and εHf from −16.77 to 6.89. As reported in previous works, the data reveal close relationships between Antarctic sediments and distinct parent lithologies; in addition, our findings emphasize the background presence of very fine dusts originating from dominant global sources and regional volcanic activity as barriers to direct source-to-sink comparison of isotopic signatures. Thus, geochemical characterizations of dust sources to the Antarctic ice sheet involving multiple size fractions, including coarser-grained particles more susceptible to short-range transport, can help us to rule out global sources of dust when examining local sediment cores and ice cores

The Psychoparatextuality of Everyday Life
No full textArtykuł opisuje doświadczenie psychoparatekstualności we współczesnym życiu codziennym. Na wybranych przykładach autor pokazał, w jaki sposób liczne zindywidualizowane, często przypadkowe dodatki do dzieł i tekstów występujące w używanych kopiach stają się tekstami właściwymi dla czyjegoś świata życia. Pozwala to na dalsze twierdzenie, iż we współczesnym środowisku medialnym paratekstualna stała się cała rzeczywistość wobec tekstów zjawiających się na ekranach laptopów i smartfonów.The article describes the experience of psychoparatextuality in contemporary everyday life. Using selected examples, the author shows how numerous individualized, often accidental supplements to works and texts that occur in copies become texts in themselves for someone else’s life world. This allows us to make the further claim that in the contemporary media context the paratextual has become an entire reality vis-a-vis texts that appear on laptop and smartphone screens
Nature and Structure of Personal Identity: an Analysis of Selected Works of G.W. Leibniz
No full textArtykuł stanowi zmodyfikowaną wersję pracy licencjackiej napisanej przeze mnie w roku
2015, której promotorem był dr hab. Bogusław Paź.The main aim of this paper is to reconstruct G. W. Leibniz’s view on nature and
structure of human identity. For this purpose selected writings of the author and of
several other philosophers whose impact on his conclusion was the most noticeable are
exploited. Analysis of these sources in relation to Leibniz’s whole monadological system
provides us with the explication of human identity in his anthropology.
In the first part the author concentrates on the historical background of a reflection
on the notion of nature, which in Leibniz’s philosophy constitutes the basis of human
identity. The Hanoverian philosopher, as the author claims, continues Aristotle’s thought
on this issue. Afterwards a basic individual being – monad – is presented. Through the
monad the German philosopher managed to unite two – seemingly opposing – perspectives:
substancial (aristotelism) with “consciously-reflective”, which is synonymous with
Descartes’ cogito.
In the second part the author introduces the concept of the human person, which
indicates such features as rationality, substantiality and individuality. From the latter
flows such characteristics of personhood as uniqueness, distinctiveness and incommunicability. Even though this classical interpretation of the person was deconstructed
by Descartes, the author shows that the monadic subject did not lose the attributes
Leibniz’s processors wrote about.
In the third part the author presents John Locke’s interpretation of the human
identity described in his opus magnum – An essay concerning human understanding, in
opposition to which Leibniz developed his own theory. In the fourth part the structure
of human identity in the interpretation of the German is presented. The author of this
paper particularly focuses on the characteristics of its two dimensions: real identity and
moral identity. At the end, in the fifth part, the epistemological foundation of Leibniz’s
anthropology: perception, apperception and reflection, its specifics and the relation to
two levels of human identity presented in Nouveaux essais sur l’entendement humain are
explored.Adrianna Senczyszyn, studentka Uniwersytetu WrocławskiegoUniwersytet WrocławskiArystoteles, Metafizyka, oprac. M. Krąpiec, A. Maryniarczyk na podst. tłum. T. Żeleźniaka,
