Abstract The unit weight, as a basic physical feature of soil, is an elementary quantity, and knowledge of this parameter is necessary in each geotechnical and geo-engineering task. Estimation of this quantity can be made with both laboratory and field techniques. The paper comprises a multi-scale evaluation of unit weight of cohesive soil, based on several measurements made in nearby locations using the SCPTu static probe. The procedures used were based on the two classifications and two solutions from literature. The results were referenced to the actual values of unit weight determined with a direct procedure from undisturbed samples. The resulting solutions were the basis for proposing a new formula to determine the soil unit weight from SCPTu measurements, as well as comparative analysis using exemplary values taken from the national Polish standard.

Manufacturers offer different types of ballistic barrels made in according to various standards. The paper presents comparison of three types of ballistic barrels: pressure, velocity and accuracy made according to C.I.P. and NATO EPVAT standards. Projectile velocities in a several measuring points on the flight path and propellant gas pressures in the barrels were measured and compared. The main aim of the article is to discuss whether all types of barrels to conduct most ballistic tests are needed, or whether one, the most universal in a specific caliber is enough.

The fast growth of the service sector is one of the characteristic features of the contemporary economy. Amongst other CEE countries, Poland is one of the emerging locations for this sector. The aim of the paper is to examine and compare the business service sector in India, Ireland and Poland. Both India and Ireland are exceptional locations for this industry, so comparing the state and operating conditions in Poland with those countries can be insightful. A literature study is used to determine the motives of companies undertaking offshore investments, upon which a selection of location factors is made. In the empirical part, those factors are analyzed in a descriptive way. This allows us to draw conclusions concerning this sector in Poland. This country, to some extent, possesses selected positive features of both India and Ireland, which explains the current growth of the sector.

The globalisation process contributes to shaping of many diverse consequences, among others it causes the internationalization of production, new, global division of work, increase of competitiveness, it builds the branches of a globalising business. From the point of view of economy, the phenomenon of globalisation influences the deepening of a free float of commodities, services, resources, capital, work, and also information between the countries. These factors significantly contribute to many changes that are visible in the operations of the latter-day enterprises (Penc 2003, p. 152). One of the consequences of the globalisation process, which is directly connected with the functioning of companies, is the necessity of building and managing the brand. As a result it creates many possibilities to global companies from the textile-clothing sector that want to achieve a market success. However, in order to achieve it one has to fulfill many, constantly increasing, expectations of the buyers. The realisation of these challenges is possible only with the share of two crucial factors: proper competitiveness and progressive marketing strategies. In the clothing sector the partnership networks are being created between the economic subject, because such actions are aimed at minimising the risk, as well as to reducing the production and distribution costs. The most often encountered networks in the textile-clothing branch are the franchising networks. The present article concentrates on the competitiveness aspect of the global clothing networks. A comparative analysis of the action of the commercial clothing networks was made, in order to show some features of its operation and proceeding, while focusing on the specified elements of the marketing-mix strategy. The obtained results allowed to show the differences and similarities in the used marketing strategies.

This work makes a comparative study of two methods to determine deflection in steel beams: (a) Theoretical and (b) Finite element. For method (a) the solution of the differential equation associated with the modeling of the deflection of a beam is found, while for method (b) a simulation is made in Solidworks. Both methods are compared with experimental data in order to analyze which of the methods presents less uncertainty and show the usefulness of the theoretical part in the modeling of physical systems.

<p>El presente artículo propone un análisis comparativo de las tres únicas películas realizadas por Hollywood sobre la Guerra Civil española mientras esta se desarrollaba: <em>The Last Train From Madrid</em> (James Hogan, 1937), <em>Love Under Fire</em> (George Marshall, 1937) y <em>Blockade</em> (William Dieterle, 1938). A la postre, se demostrará que, en contra de lo afirmado por buena parte de la historiografía, las tres –y no únicamente <em>Blockade</em>– efectúan una denuncia de la intervención de las potencias del Eje en la Guerra Civil española.</p><p>The purpose of this article is to provide a comparative analysis of the only three films that were made in Hollywood relating to the Spanish Civil War during the period in which it was being waged: <em>The </em><em>Last Train From Madrid</em> (James Hogan, 1937), <em>Love Under Fire</em> (George Marshall, 1937) and <em>Blockade </em>(William Dieterle, 1938). Lastly, it will be demonstrated that, contrary to what has been asserted by a large num- ber of historians, all three – not only Blockade – express criticism against the Axis powers’ intervention in the Spanish Civil War.<br /><br /></p>
