Jaki uniwersytet, taka internacjonalizacja, czyli o tym, jak i dlaczego kwestia modelu uniwersytetu ma wpływ na jego internacjonalizację na przykładzie Polski
PublicationDyskurs w szkolnictwie wyższym na temat modelu uniwersytetu nie odnosi się bezpośrednio do internacjonalizacji, jednakże rola i postrzeganie umiędzynarodowienia w środowisku akademickim jest różne. W środowisku wspierającym tradycyjny model uczelni internacjonalizacja traktowana jest implicite. Wynika z wolności nauki i badań oraz dążeniu do zgłębiania i zdobywania wiedzy (nauka nie ma narodowości, L. Pasteur). Jako taka nie...

Marta Rusnak, Marta Szmigiel, Malwina Geniusz, Zofia Koszewicz, Monika Magdziak-Tokłowicz, Exploring the impact of cultural context on eye-tracking studies of architectural monuments in selected European cities: Sustainable heritage management.
PublicationSustainable management of architectural heritage requires conducting an inclusive diagnosis of users' opinions, considering both residents and tourists as the recipients of urban space. Given the cultural diversity within these groups, proposing the use of eye-trackers (ET) as an alternative to traditional public consultation prompts the need to assess the method's advantages and disadvantages. It remains uncertain whether individuals...

Effect of Chitosan Deacetylation on Its Affinity to Type III Collagen: A Molecular Dynamics Study
PublicationThe ability to form strong intermolecular interactions by linear glucosamine polysaccharides with collagen is strictly related to their nonlinear dynamic behavior and hence bio-lubricating features. Type III collagen plays a crucial role in tissue regeneration, and its presence in the articular cartilage affects its bio-technical features. In this study, the molecular dynamics methodology was applied to evaluate the effect of...
