AbstractIn the past, it was enough for the airport to have a runway and a modest terminal. The development of air traffic has also increased customer requirements (passengers, airlines, etc.), which has affected the need for airport infrastructure development. Throughout the world, passenger terminals have been built, many of which, according to architectural solutions, represent works of art. The design and functionality are tailored in such a way as to enable longer stay and meet the requirements of passengers and other users. Content and concept offer solutions that airport operators provide for additional revenue. One part of the content and service is offered in passenger terminal buildings, while the other part is provided outside them, whether in or outside the airport. Part of this content is offered by Airport City (AC). AC phenomenon represents the integration of infrastructure, superstructures, information and operations. It represents a part of the Supply Chain (SC) and usually includes facilities such as: passenger terminals, runways and other airport activities such as: ground handling, logistics, office space, shops, hotels, etc. In this paper, authors use a method of systems theory, a modeling method and a comparative method as a general and some specific scientific methods of cognition, to researching the problem to which different AC models and their structure can contribute to the optimal SC flow as its essential part and bring the results of the AC phenomenon as a part of the SC.

Retroactivity of the Biography and Works of Antonina Domańska Retroactivity is the process of inscription, it is about updating the contextually interpreted past. Thus, retroactive reading is seen as a selective and affirmative attempt to internalise the world, imitating the personal system of existential and reading experiences. On the other hand, as a part of literary research, it counts as a description of the works and life of the creators from earlier eras, carried out with the use of modern ways to explore “signs of the past”, through the new scientific methods and concepts. For Szymon Wróbel, author of the monograph Lektury retroaktywne. Rodowody współczesnej myśli filozoficznej [Retroactive Reading. Origins of Contemporary Philosophical Thought], retroactive reading is “travelling in the vehicle of multiple narratives”. We invite you to such a journey in the collective monograph (Re)Construction of the Past in Antonina Domańska’s Prose, in which we propose a multilateral interpretation of the biography and works of Antonina Domańska, including her family connections, vision of literature for children and young people, ways of understanding history in the dynamics of memory and imagination, world of values (also spiritual) designed in her texts, biological and cultural construction of sexes (also from the perspective of socio-cultural roles of Domańska), finally – including the critical reception of the works of the author of Historia żółtej ciżemki in comparison with the works of other artists.

This article reflects on hermeneutics in the widest sense of the concept and not on the detailed technicalities from philosophical and other perspectives. Hermeneutics will be taken to refer to the whole act and process of understanding. It is done with special reference to how the understanding of Scripture and specifically the New Testament of theologians of the Netherdutch Reformed Church over the past seven decades, is reflected in the work in the HTS Theological Studies journal. It is clear that their approach to the understanding and concretisation of the message of the New Testament was one of greatest respect for Scripture. The basic tenet throughout was that the Word of God was to be found in the Bible. There was no assumption that Bible and Word of God were identified on one and the same level. Taking the Bible as literature seriously implied that the best scientific methods had to be found and implemented in this search for the meaning of the Word of God for the Church’s message and practice in the world.

One of the most visible retailing phenomena of the past two decades has been the increase in sales of private labels (PL), or retail brands. Driven by retail consolidation, attractive margins, consumer sophistication, supply chain efficiencies, merchandising strategies, and pricing, PL offer a wider assortment of price and merchandise options for both retailer and consumer. An important part of the overall merchandising mix in the U.S. and Europe for decades, PL have only recently begun to make inroads in other parts of the world. Using the information processing theory, this paper outlines how retailers in three big emerging markets should use the theory in practice to enhance their PL branding strategy.

The Subject

The actuality of the topic was the fact that nowadays, the aviation has become an important part in connecting people. It is enabling it to reach almost anywhere all over the world. With the entry of low-cost airlines, aviation has become available to a larger segment, which has stimulated the industry. During the elaboration of the subject, it became a fact that inquiry of the entire supply chain of an airline also requires information that companies are reluctant to share with the outside world. So, the paper is examining the value chain according to the information available. It is involved to well-known European airline to the investigation - a low cost airline. Over the past few decades, the negative changes in the global climate have been increasingly occupied by people; that’s why it is prompting companies around the world to take the issue more seriously and impact of their company’s ecological footprint. The research provides a comprehensive analysis of the value chain of the aviation, focusing on sustainability, illustrating the complexity of the airline supply chain. While current forecasts make positive predictions for civil aviation, changes in environmental impacts could radically change this sensitive industry at any time.

BYD, a Chinese car brand founded in 1995, initially started with only 20 people. But until 2003, it had grown into the second largest rechargeable battery manufacturer in the world and established the BYD Motor Company in the same year. Its main production businesses include business cars and family cars. Because BYD is a new type of car company that starts late and has a lower starting point, it mainly takes the production of low end household small car as its main business. So most of the domestic consumers have been positioning BYD as the low end market. However, BYD has been developing in the high-end market of the mid end market and electric vehicle in the past two years, with low starting point but rapid development. BYD has transformed from an ordinary domestic automobile enterprise into a global electric electric giant. Electric vehicles and buses are exported to more than 170 countries and regions around the world. And more than 20 production bases have been established in the world, with a total area of more than 16 million square meters and about 200 thousand employees. The development of BYD has made us see the rapid development of Chinese economy and Chinese automobile enterprises. The share of domestic automobile in the global automobile market has gradually become bigger. At present, most of the consumers in China lack the scientific and effective evaluation of "BYD". This article is aimed at calculating the value of BYD by the way of value evaluation, and using scientific methods to tell consumers the value and status of BYD.

In the period of globalization when a big number of actors are involved in international relations, there is a need for smaller countries to be focused in a specific field in order to be successful in their foreign politics. The soft power with its increased importance is attracting academic circuits and those directly involved in foreign politics of different countries. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness among compilers and executers of foreign politics in Kosovo on the capacities that Kosovo has to achieve a success in foreign politics by the soft power. The goal can be achieved by the use of many scientific methods like: analytical – interpretive method, hermeneutic one, comparative method all of them having a holist approach to the topic. To have a better and more understandable output the study is focused in concrete examples of Switzerland and Slovenia as a potential topic to be elaborated due to the fact that in the past the states of Western Balkan didn’t pay that much attention the use of soft power in foreign politics. Instead they used the forms of classical diplomacy that resulted with not that good image of the region. Achievements of Switzerland and Slovenia by using an efficient soft power, could be a good example for Kosovo. In this case, being a crucial need, Kosovo can benefit by applying the soft power in the foreign policy.

Instrument Control

Advances in camera technology and digital instrument control have meant that in modern microscopy, the image that was, in the past, typically recorded on a piece of film is now recorded directly into a computer. The transfer of the analog image seen in the microscope to the digitized picture in the computer does not mean, however, that the problems associated with recording images, analyzing them, and preparing them for publication, have all miraculously been solved. The steps involved in the recording an image to film remain largely intact in the digital world. The image is recorded, prepared for measurement in some way, analyzed, and then prepared for presentation.Digital image acquisition schemes are largely the realm of the microscope manufacturers, however, there are also a multitude of “homemade” acquisition systems in microscope laboratories around the world. It is not the mission of this tutorial to deal with the various acquisition systems, but rather to introduce the novice user to rudimentary image processing and measurement.

On the Symbolism of Rain in A Farewell to Arms

Farewell To Arms

This paper critically analyzes the symbolic use of rain in A Farewell to Arms (1929). The researcher has applied the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis as a research tool for the analysis of the text. This hypothesis argues that the languages spoken by a person determine how one observes this world and that the peculiarities encoded in each language are all different from one another. It affirms that speakers of different languages reflect the world in pretty different ways. Hemingway’s symbolic use of rain in A Farewell to Arms (1929) is denotative, connotative, and ironical. The narrator and protagonist, Frederick Henry symbolically embodies his own perceptions about the world around him. He time and again talks about rain when something embarrassing is about to ensue like disease, injury, arrest, retreat, defeat, escape, and even death. Secondly, Hemingway has connotatively used rain as a cleansing agent for washing the past memories out of his mind. Finally, the author has ironically used rain as a symbol when Henry insists on his love with Catherine Barkley while the latter being afraid of the rain finds herself dead in it.
