We prove that if the multipliers of the repelling periodic orbits of a complex polynomial grow at least like n 5+ε , for some ε > 0, then the Julia set of the polynomial is locally connected when it is connected. As a consequence for a polynomial the presence of a Cremer cycle implies the presence of a sequence of repelling periodic orbits with " small " multipliers. Somehow surprisingly the pr...

The paper considers the humean thesis according to which justice is an artificial virtue. Based on analysis of some conceptions presented in A Treatise Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Principles Morals, this text proposes that considered statement requires a qualification. notion artifice, context discussion about justice, should be understood light one fundamental relation between dispo...

Focusing on the work of John McWhorter and, to a lesser extent, Peter Trudgill, this paper critically examines some common themes in language complexity research from perspective intellectual history. The present-day conception that increase is somehow “natural” process which disturbed under “abnormal” circumstances contact shown be recapitulation essentially Romantic ideas go back beginnings d...

Surprisingly, sexuality has not been at the centre of scholarship on post-war Central and Eastern Europe. While neighbouring topics, such as gender or everyday life, have thoroughly wonderfully researched (the list here is too long, but let me mention least some shining examples), somehow escaped spotlight. Path-breaking research done by Dagmar Herzog East Germany Dan Healey Soviet Russia was f...

In 1939, Ruth Streitz, a professor of education from The Ohio State University, wrote rather candidly of a proliferation of “canned units” in education. Units of work had been somehow interpreted to be glorified lesson packets of subject matter that could be bought and sold in somewhat of an unrestrained market. Given their relevance to contemporary problems with “modules” in technology educati...

Such genericity is a feature of entire sentences (or at least of entire clauses), and is not attributable to any subpart of the sentence, such as to the subject noun phrase or to the verb phrase. It is instead somehow an interaction between the two. This sets it apart from another type of genericity, which is attributed to the noun phrase’s referring to an abstract genus (or kind) and not as ma...

It is commonly assumed that growth and aging are somehow linked, but the nature of this link has been elusive. Here we review the aging process as a continuation of TOR-driven growth. TOR is absolutely essential for developmental growth, but upon completion of development it causes aging and age-related diseases. Thus, the nutrient-sensing and growth-promoting TOR signaling pathway may provide ...

Significantly, many of these problems can be traced to the internal workings of the organization. For example, the absence of a learning culture and negative attitudes towards knowledge creation and reuse by employees reflect organizationally-engrained problems that are difficult to be uprooted. These problems could be mitigated if the dysfunctional internal workings of the organization can som...

In this short note, we try to provide the reader with a brief pedagogical account of some similarities and differences between stochastic and deterministic processes. A short presentation of some basic notions related to the mathematical description of stochastic processes is also given. Our main aim is to illustrate the somehow surprising fact that the gap between the behaviour of stochastic a...

Cumming’s (2014) article was commissioned by Psychological Science to reinforce the journal’s 2014 publication guidelines. It exhorts substituting confidence intervals (CIs) for Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) as a way of increasing the scientific value of psychological research. Cumming’s article is somehow biased, hence the aims of my commentary: to balance out the presentation of...
