The aim of the study was to determine the effect of pituitary transcription factor 1 (POU1F1, Pit1) and the polymorphism of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) genes on selected pig performance traits. The animals used were the progeny of Polish Landrace × Polish Large White crossbred sows and Polish Landrace, Polish Large White, Duroc or Pietrain boars. Eighteen perfor-mance traits were re...

The aim of this paper is to provide an HPSG analysis of linear positions of Polish pronominal clitics. The distribution of Polish clitics, though rather free, is more constrained than that of other NPs. Polish clitics either occur preverbally or must closely follow the verb. We treat all Polish pronominal clitics as syntactic items and propose an LP constraint to account for their distribution....

The development and validation of the Polish-language version of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA-S; DiTommaso, Brannen, & Best, 2004) is described in this article. The aim of this study was to translate the SELSA-S into Polish and establish its psychometric properties. A total of 417 university students (262 women and 155 men) aged 19-25 years completed the Polish ad...

Finnish and Polish subjects judged four series of two-syllable stimuli varying in intervocalic consonant duration as short (singleton) or long (geminate). The four series differed in the durations of the flanking vowels. As predicted, perception shifted toward geminates for Finnish subjects when V1 was lengthened, especially when V2 was also shortened, to match normal Finnish production. The sh...

For locally compact groups all actions on a standard measure algebra have a spatial realization. For many Polish groups this is no longer the case. However, we show here that for non-archimedean Polish groups all measure algebra actions do have spatial realizations. In the other direction we show that an action of a Polish group is whirly (“ergodic at the identity”) if and only if it admits no ...

The Cultural Heritage in CLEF 2013 lab comprised three tasks: multilingual ad-hoc retrieval and semantic enrichment in 13 languages (Dutch, English, German, Greek, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish), Polish ad-hoc retrieval and the interactive task, which studied user behavior via log analysis and questionnaires. For the multilingual and Pol...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of two single nucleotide polymorphisms in growth hormone (GH) gene on performance traits in pigs. The animals (n= 320) belonged to four groups of commercial crosses being the progeny of crossbred Polish Landrace × Polish Large White sows and Polish Landrace, Polish Large White, Duroc or Pietrain boars. Genotypes of growth hormone gene (G...

In the paper a method of modeling text for Polish is discussed. The method is aimed at transforming continuous input text into a text consisting of sentences in so called canonical form, whose characteristic is, among others, a complete structure as well as no anaphora or ellipses. The transformation is lossless as to the content of text being transformed. The modeling method has been worked ou...

What parts of classical descriptive set theory done in Polish spaces still hold for more general topological spaces, possibly T0 or T1, but not T2 (i.e. not Hausdorff)? This question has been addressed by Victor Selivanov in a series of papers centered on algebraic domains. And recently it has been considered by Matthew de Brecht for quasi-Polish spaces, a framework that contains both countably...

To celebrate the 650th Jubilee of the Jagiellonian University, we would like to give an outline of the life and work of Odo Bujwid, known as the father of Polish bacteriology. The intention of the authors is to recall the beginnings of Polish bacteriology, the doyen of which was Professor Odo Bujwid, a great Polish scholar who also served as a promoter of bacteriology, a field created in the 19...
