Przyjmując założenie, że rewolucja jest wydarzeniem apokaliptycznym, czyli świeckim wariantem religijnego mesjanizmu (Leszek Kołakowski), autor przygląda się obrazowi antykolonialnego buntu w filmie Lava Diaza Kołysanka do bolesnej tajemnicy (Hele sa hiwagang hapis, 2016). Punktem wyjścia tu hipoteza o pokrewieństwie z radykalnymi ruchami społecznymi krajach zależnych (Vittorio Lanternari, Eric...

Inequality constraints are often needed in optimization problems in order to deal with uncertainty. This paper introduces a simple technique that allows enforcement of inequality constraints in `1 norm problems without any modi cations to existing programs. The solution of `1 norm problems is required, for example, in implementing LAV (Least Absolute Value) state estimators in electric power sy...

BACKGROUND It is suggested that an elevated left atrial pressure (LAP) promotes ectopic beats emanating in the pulmonary veins (PVs) and that LAP might be a marker for structural remodeling. This study aimed to identify if the quantification of LAP correlates with structural changes of the LA and may therefore be associated with outcomes following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). METHODS We an...

Background Osteoporosis is a well-known comorbidity in COPD. It is associated with poor health status and prognosis. Although the exact pathomechanisms are unclear, osteoporosis is suggested to be either a comorbidity due to shared risk factors with COPD or a systematic effect of COPD with a cause-effect relationship. This study aimed to evaluate whether progression of osteoporosis is synchroni...
