Direct Measurement of the Gluon Polarisation in the Nucleon Using the All-pT Method at the COMPASS Experiment at CERN

Author(s): Marcin Stolarski / Language(s): English

The monograph documents a novel method of extraction of the gluon polarisation in the nucleon, presenting results from its application to data from the COMPASS experiment at CERN, in which the Physics Faculty of the University of Warsaw is engaged. The topic addressed in this publication is related to the so-called spin polarisation puzzle – one the fundamental problems of nucleon structure, which remains unsolved since 30 years. The author, besides the detailed discussion of the gluon polarisation method, describes the historical context of the spin measurements, the theory of deep inelastic scattering with polarised beams and polarised targets, gives details of the COMPASS experiment and discusses various nuances concerning the data analysis. The publication is a helpful study aid for students and physicists whose aim is to study the spin structure of the nucleon.

Lectures on Number Theory

Author(s): Paweł Białynicki-Birula,Mariusz Skałba / Language(s): English

The book is intended as a manual for a half-year introductory course of number theory. The aim is to present the theory to the extent which is indispensable to every mathematics student, regardless of their future specialization. The target points include the local methods, the Quadratic Reciprocity Law, the Prime Number Theorem, unique factorization of ideals in rings of algebraic integers in finite extensions of~Q, units in the rings of integers in quadratic extensions of~Q, and decomposition of primes in rings of integers. The authors' main aim was to show that the beauty of number theory lies in the fact that on the one hand it enriches other domains of mathematics, and on the other hand it makes frequent use of their methods and results. Each chapter is complemented with problems, of different complexity. Some solutions and hints are given at the end of the book.

Haematological Patients’ Perception of Their Quality of Life

Author(s): Alciona Sasu,Mircea Onel,Cristina Ghib-Para,Ligia Piroş,Alin Greluş,Coralia Cotoraci / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The therapeutic management of haematological patients dramatically changes the lives of patients. Quality of life is a modern concept which tries to help the patient and refocuses doctors on improving not only the patient’s symptoms and disease itself, but also the patient’s overall well-being. This chapter will highlight the most important factors which can modify the onco-haematological patient’s quality of life, stressing the importance of biological, psychological, and social factors. In identifying these factors, we used two standard questionnaires which evaluate the quality of life on various fields. The results showed that physical status, mental health, and social factors influence patient quality of life.

The Role of Game-based Learning in Career Development and Job Placement of Young People with Intellectual Disability

Author(s): Narcisa Delia Valentina Chirvasiu,Ruxandra Foloştină / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The European Employment Strategy has estabilished as a main objective the inclusion of disadvantaged people on the labor market by promoting open employment strategies. In this framework. it is desirable to identify and remove barriers that hinder the employment of people with disabilities.The most important skill needed to work in adult life for students with intellectual disability is the ability to cope with social situations. The training and the development of social skills needed to work and lead to an independent life is a major goal for students with intellectual disability. The disappearance from the curriculum for special education of some subjects such as "Education for adulthood" represents a barrier to the formation and social integration of young people with intellectual disability. Independent life skills represent the minimum of skills that allow the owner to develop a normal social life, thus limiting the need for assistance or accompaniment from social services.Forming social skills for young people with intellectual disabilities could shorten the gap between educational provision and their employment needs by allowing young people to integrate much easier.In this article, we want to analyse the importance of entrepreneurial education through virtual games. Nowadays, virtual games occupy a great deal of young people's time, being at the top of their preferences, motivating them and forming their interests. Starting from this idea, we want to present a prototype of an entrepreneurial game, accessible to young people with intellectual disabilities, through which they can develop the necessary skills for a future job placement.

How Dangerous is Space Debris?

Author(s): Ye Joo Park / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Space junk is a problem that requires expert intervention. Last year, the European Space Agency reported that scientists altered the path of an important satellite to prevent a collision with an unknown orbiting object. Space junk - known as orbital debris to scientists who specialize in space matters - travels at speeds of more than 17,500 mph. According to the US National Aeronautic Space Administration, space junk colliding with a satellite or an astronaut-occupied space craft could be catastrophic. The destruction of a working satellite owned by a foreign nation worth millions of dollars might cause national defense or diplomatic problems. Attempts to remove space junk are challenging because there is no clear pattern of how debris is orbiting around our planet - with zero gravity, scientists cannot keep track of each piece of space junk. Furthermore, it is very costly to clean up space. This paper will explain how much orbital debris is in space, how it got there and whether trends are improving or deteriorating. In addition, this research paper will evaluate what solutions can be practically implemented by the international community to reduce space junk and minimize the risks to property and people.

Između moderne i avangarde – Himnika ulice Tina Ujevića

Author(s): Krystyna Pieniążek-Marković / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

The subject of the article is Tin Ujević’s inter-mingling of modernity and avant-garde, above all bohemian retreats and avant-garde activities, which the author finds in his feuilletons, essays and travelogues. The simultaneously opposing views seem to be most evident in Ujević’s understanding and experience of the city (for example in the text Himnika ulice) which, on the one hand, continues the modernist anti-urbanism in which the city (street) is an area unsuitable for the fulfillment of existential and spiritual needs, a place of no-home or a broken home and no-domestication, and on the other hand, access to the city (street) is close to futuristic statements, the city denotes a space suitable for civilization changes and creation of the New Man – an idea that is typical of avant-garde projects and known in many programme texts. The petrifying, antidynamic, stagnant energy of the street adopts a narrator-heroartist who only informs about the desire for activity, does not prove, apply, but waits that the changes happen, come true and waits while contemplating urban life and performing lamentation (lelekanje).

100 lat optyki na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim (1921–2021)

Author(s): Józef Szudy / Language(s): Polish

This publication is related to the centenary of physics at the University of Warsaw. It describes the history of optics at the university since 1921, when Stefan Pieńkowski founded the Division of Physics at 69 Hoża Street in Warsaw. The author reports on the rapid development of research and significant discoveries in this field in the interwar period, when the Division of Physics earned a reputation as a world centre for molecular luminescence and atomic spectroscopy, attracting scientists from all over the world to Warsaw. Rebuilt after World War II, it got a new image when lasers were used for studies on the structure of atoms and molecules as well as atomic collisions. Today, it has become an internationally recognised modern centre for optical physics, including nonlinear optics, Fourier optics, plasmonics and quantum technologies.
