Export Diversification and Development - Empirical Assessment
PublicationThis paper assesses the role played by country specific factors as determinants of exports' diversification process. Using a panel data-set for 60 countries and twenty years (1985-2004) we confirm that even after clearing out differences in income per capita, cross section variability in the degree of exports' diversification is significant. In general, apart from per capita income, variables influencing the size of accessible...

Support for argument structures review and assessment
PublicationArgument structures are commonly used to develop and present cases for safety, security and for other properties of systems. Such structures tend to grow excessively, which causes problems with their review and assessment. Two issues are of particular interest: (1) systematic and explicit assessment of the compelling power of an argument, and (2) communication of the result of such an assessment to relevant recipients. The paper...

Cost assessment of computer security activities
PublicationComprehensive cost-benefit analysis plays a crucial role in the decision-making process when it comes to investments in information security solutions. The cost of breaches needs to be analysed in the context of spending on protection measures. However, no methods exist that facilitate the quick and rough prediction of true expenditures on security protection systems. Rafal Leszczyna of Gdansk University of Technology presents...

A Novel Approach to the Assessment of Cough Incidence
PublicationIn this paper we consider the problem of identication of cough events in patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases. The information about frequency of cough events is necessary to medical treatment. The proposed approach is based on bidirectional processing of a measured vibration signal - cough events are localized by combining the results of forward-time and backward-time analysis. The signal is at rst transformed...

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SOLAR CELL MATERIALS
PublicationIn today’s world, fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and gas, are the primary energy sources from which electricity is obtained. As they are exhaustible and their exploitation has a negative impact on the natural environment, they should be, at least partially, replaced by renewable energy sources. One of these sources is solar energy. The use of solar energy releases no CO2, SO2, or NO2 gases, and does not contribute to global...

The phenomenon of rurality: the case of Poland
PublicationWieś była przez stulecia źródłem kultury polskiej. Wojny światowe i okres komunistycznego totalitaryzmu przyniosły ogromne straty w dziedzictwie kulturowym wsi. Transformacja ustrojowa i skrajny liberalizm gospodarki przestrzennej powodują dalszą degradację tego dziedzictwa. Podstawowe problemy ochrony dziedzictwa kulturowego wsi to słabość przepisów prawnych, zanik tożsamości kulturowej wsi, brak strategii kształtowania krajobrazu...
