AbstractFischer plots are widely used in paleoenvironmental research as graphic representations of sea- and lake-level changes through mapping linearly corrected variation of accumulative cycle thickness over cycle number or stratum depth. Some kinds of paleoenvironmental proxy data (especially subsurface data, such as natural gamma-ray logging data), which preserve continuous cyclic signals and have been largely collected, are potential materials for constructing Fischer Plots. However, it is laborious to count the cycles preserved in these proxy data manually and map Fischer plots with these cycles. In this paper, we introduce an original open-source Python code “PyFISCHERPLOT” for constructing Fischer Plots in batches utilizing paleoenvironmental proxy data series. The principle of constructing Fischer plots based on proxy data, the data processing and usage of the PyFISCHERPLOT code and the application cases of the code are presented. The code is compared with existing methods for constructing Fischer plots.

SummaryVisual representation may help physicians and patients interpret laboratory results, for example by aiding Bayesian reasoning. This paper is concerned with the psychological and formal properties of such visual representations. One popular way to present laboratory results is via signal detection curves. These curves represent many parameters of a laboratory test including parameters, such as distribution variance, that are not typically known. Such curves can be seriously misleading.Two alternative representations are suggested. Probability maps represent only the three laboratory test parameters most likely to be known: sensitivity, specificity and prevalence, and thus avoid the problems of the richer signal detection curves. Probability maps, however, do not remind the user of why there are false positives and false negatives nor of the nature of the criterion for positivity. Detection bars, a third type of representation, are a compromise between signal detection curves and probability maps.

The aim of this research is to support assembly lines designers in conceiving new processes with optimal automation levels selection. Several alternatives with various automation options may exist. Graphic representations and analyses of the different designs are needed. The finality is to offer a quick, exhaustive, and reliable way of modelling alternatives based on a given product design. In this sense we propose a new assembly tasks vocabulary to be combined to an existing lower layer vocabulary of elementary motions and a graphic modelling language. These developments deal with an existing automation decision approach as an extension allowing to overcome identified gaps and to ease its implementation and computerization. The proposal facilitates assembly systems alternatives generation with automation options consideration based on an initial representation. The generated alternatives are then subject to further analyses with regard to automation criteria and performance indicators considering planned production targets.

Images of Irreverence: Nonsense Poetry in Translation as Exemplified by Edward Lear’s Poem The Akond of Swat The paper deals with selected “rewritings” of Edward Lear’s nonsense poem The Akond of Swat, focusing specifically on the translators’, illustrators’, adapters’ and editors’ attitudes towards the allusive nature of the poem – the reference it makes to the historical figure of the Pashtun religious leader Abdul Ghaffūr, also known as the Akond (or Wali) of Swat or Saidū Bābā, which may be viewed as problematic from a postcolonial viewpoint. Recent translated and illustrated versions of the poem inscribe it with new aesthetic and ideological values. Two Polish translations considered in the paper, produced by Andrzej Nowicki and Stanisław Barańczak respectively, demonstrate changing approaches to the nonsense genre displayed in Polish literary circles (gradual transition from pure to parodistic nonsense). Graphic representations of the poem discussed in the paper testify to the artists’ interpretive powers in redefining the genre of Lear’s poem: rebranding it as an infantile fairy tale on the one hand and a disturbing reflection on tyranny and “the war on terrorism” on the other.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Spatial thinking, comprised of concepts, representations and spatial abilities, is a cognitive activity developed in everyday living, and can be systematized through different school disciplines, mainly Geography. The comprehension of this concept and the investigation of how it can be developed and systematized in schools are critical points, involving different languages that represent the space. Our main objective is to propose theoretical and methodological references for the spatial knowledge of children aged between 4 and 6 years old. The research is based on the following question: Which spatial abilities and concepts can be addressed in activities aimed at developing spatial thinking in children aged 4 to 6 years old? To answer this question and achieve the main objective, the specific objectives were: a) to investigate and analyze the pertinence, possibilities and approaches regarding the spatial notions in children’s education; b) develop teaching situations based on guiding theories about spatial thinking, children’s drawing and the concept construction under a historical and cultural perspective; c) understand the patterns in children’s graphic representations; and d) analyze the children’s dialogues. The analysis of the research data allowed us to conclude that drawing is part of the cartographic initiation, and words are fundamental elements that concretize the way of thinking, in this case, spatial thinking ability. In this research, we reaffirm the direct relationship between Geography and the development of spatial thinking, considering the very nature of this Science, and Cartography as the language used to materialize this way of thinking.</p>
