“Perchance to dream?” On the Void Interior of Ego. A Prolegomenon to a Cynical Critique of a Contemporary Model of Subjectivity The text discusses interiority as the epistemic and ethical dimension of individual choices and responsibilities, possibly, the only bastion of subjective freedom in today’s furious reality (Salman Rushdie, Fury) in which contemporary models of life monitored by schematized, often televised, patterns of behaviour (Jerzy Kosinski, Being There) turn what once was called existence into an illusory idyll of consumerist vegetation. Following the reflexive path of psychoanalysis, the article reads the interiority of Hamlet and his quest for being (“to be”) as one of options which could be considered to be an indirect apology for empiricism and spiritual realisation in an environment, in which humanism and its values were appropriated by globalised, “cynical” ideology.

This essay discusses the image of the English scholar in Poland, using as one of its methodological tools recent developments associated with cultural studies. The irony of this approach lies in the fact that those developments have been imported to Poland by the same English scholars who are to be scrutinized in their light. Nowak locates the predicament of the contemporary English scholar between two basic positions: that of a harbinger of a foreign culture which is likely to enrich her/his native one and that of an entrepreneur who has been skilled in capitalizing on her/his knowledge and access to foreign business models. Thereby the English scholar in Poland is torn between two opposing forces which define her/him in radically different ways.

The article is devoted to the correspondence between Zbigniew Herbert and Czeslaw Milosz. It starts with a short stylistic characteristics of the poets' letters, then the author moves to a discussion on their thematic layer. The first part of the paper discusses the issues on which the poets had different views and which settled their polemics and disputes: political matters, history, patriotic duties, and understanding of art. In the second part, it brings up the issues which united them and gave their letters a character of a friendly dialogue: sources and purposes of writing, and significance of unbiased contact with the visible world. From this perspective, Herbert and Milosz seem to be the representatives of objectivist trend in Polish literature. Suggesting an axiological interpretation of the letters, the author of the paper draws a fragmentary map of the values cherished by the poets.

Führer and his Island of Fears. Utopia as a Deadly Danger “which never comes”  The essay looks at what it calls an utopian imagination, as a universal, psychological as well as political, fantasy, which has always helped man and mankind to keep their mind away from fear and anxiety. The author assumes that anxiety, and the fear of Others “we know not of” (to play upon a Shakespearean note) are inherent to human nature, if only for reasons known to all readers of Freud. One of the ways in which “civilisation” helps individual subjects to deal with fear is that it keeps on updating utopian schemes “on offer,” which usually comes as a visionary text authored by a charismatic dreamer, a prominent writer of his age, or a Führer (a term read Freud-wise) of a group, a collective body, a whole nation. There are fairly “safe” utopian, or near-utopian narratives, whose character is clearly fictitious; for example the classic utopias (of Plato, Thomas More, Francis Bacon, Shakespeare.) But there are truly perilous visions of “no-places” which in their time made a tremendous impact on minds of multitudes, and seem to have very seriously messed with “real” history. Among the notorious utopias we find Adolf Hitler’s vision of (post-Nazi) Germany of course, but also ones proper to the, quite authorless, ideological appeals of the 21st century.

Objectives: The article aims to distinguish institutional assessments of the Polish spatial management system’s weaknesses in the literature on the subject, as well as place them in the context of the international discussion and the hsistorical context. Research Design & Methods: The article diagnoses the defects of the spatial management system in Poland, published in 2010–2020, which were confronted with the current theses concerning spatial management systems in Europe and those related to the spatial management system in the Polish People’s Republic before 1989. Based on this, the recurring problems and the key challenges for the Polish spatial management system have been identified. Findings: One can consider the correctness of the assumption that the system in spatial management (considering historical and social conditions and differences, etc.) was less developed than the current one, adopted in Poland after 1989. On the other hand, the solutions adopted in some Western European countries can be considered as much betterprepared than those in Poland (the basis for such a thesis is the enormous spatial chaos generating serious costs, which was indicated in the Polish literature on the subject to a much greater degree than in other countries). Implications / Recommendations: There should be a wider interdisciplinary connection and coherence of the expressed assessments, as well as a wider consideration of Western European countries’ experience. Contribution / Value Added: The article offers a critical analysis of the literature on the subject concerning spatial management in Poland, proposing new research directions and referencing the literature from the Polish People’s Republic, as well as literature on spatial management systems in other European countries.

W pracy przedstawiono technikę wspomagania decyzji, która może być wykorzystywana do rozwiązywania dyskretnych wielokryterialnych problemów podejmowania decyzji w warunkach ryzyka. Do porównania rozkładów ocen wariantów decyzyjnych wykorzystywane są reguły dominacji stochastycznej oraz prawie-dominacji stochastycznej. Ranking końcowy uzyskiwany jest za pomocą procedur destylacji znanych z metody ELECTRE 111. Zamieszczony w pracy przykład numeryczny opisuje sposób wykorzystania procedury do rozwiązywania problemu wielokryterialnego.

In the paper a new technique for discrete multiple criteria decision making problems under risk is presented. The procedure uses Stochastic Dominance and Almost Stochastic Dominance rules for comparing distributional evaluations of alternatives with respect to criteria. ELECTRE III technique is used for generating the final ranking of alternatives. An numerical example is presented to show applicability of the technique.

W pracy rozważany jest problem konstrukcji portfela projektów. Zakłada się, że znana jest lista projektów, które mogą być rozpoczęte natychmiast, a także lista kolejnych projektów, które z określonym prawdopodobieństwem mogą się pojawić w przyszłości. Rozważane zagadnienie sformułowano jako zadanie wielokryterialnego programowania dynamicznego. Zaproponowano procedurę interaktywną, która może być wykorzystana do jego rozwiązania. Kolejne rozwiązania próbne wyznaczono przy pomocy metody quasi-hierarchicznej. Sposób wykorzystania procedury zilustrowano przykładem numerycznym.

In the paper a project portfolio selection problem is considered. It is assumed that the list of projects that can be started immediately is available, as well as the list of projects that probably will be ready for implementation in future periods. A multiobjective dynamic programming model is presented and interactive procedure is proposed. The proposals for the decision maker are identified using quasi-hierarchical method. A numerical example is presented to show the applicability of the proposed method.

Artykuł dotyczy decyzji o podziałach nieruchomości gminnych w gminach strefy zewnętrznej Szczecińskiego Obszaru Metropolitalnego. Każdy obszar metropolitalny dzieli się na centrum, czyli miasto główne, oraz strefę zewnętrzną, składającą się na gminy do miasta głównego bezpośrednio przyległe bądź też w inny sposób z nim funkcjonalnie powiązane. Realizacja funkcji metropolitalnych w strefie zewnętrznej obszaru metropolitalnego wpływa w istotnym stopniu na możliwości rozwojowe całego obszaru. Jedną z płaszczyzn współpracy w ramach obszaru metropolitalnego może być gospodarka nieruchomościami, w szczególności tymi, których właścicielami są poszczególne gminy, czyli nieruchomościami gminnymi.

Article presents resolutions concerning divisions of estates in Szczecin Metropolitan Area. Each metropolitan area is divided into the centre, i.e. the main town, and the outer zone consisting of communes directly adjacent to the main town or in any other way functionally linked to it. The realization of metropolitan functions in the outer zone of the metropolitan area significantly affects the developing capability of the area. Divisions of the estates could be very important instrument of local development.

The complexity of modern projects makes the proper management crucial. The volatile environment of the XXI century means that it is important to choose the right decision at the right moment. During the life of project there is the need to make many decisions, which are embedded in time. Moreover, in many cases evaluation of these decisions depends on multiple criteria. Two approaches are poposed to deal with such situation: Multicriteria Decision Tree and Multi-State Real Options (MSRO). The paper compares areas of applicability, limitations and advantages of these methods. As result, it is concluded, that MSRO method is more specific and can be used only in situations where exist real options.

Złożoność nowoczesnych projektów sprawia, że zarządzanie ma kluczowe znaczenie. Niestabilne środowisko XXI w. oznacza, że ważne jest, aby podjąć właściwą decyzję w odpowiednim momencie. W trakcie realizacji projektu konieczne jest podjęcie wielu decyzji osadzonych w czasie. Ponadto często ocena tych decyzji zależy od wielu kryteriów. W celu rozwiązania takich sytuacji pojawiają się dwa podejścia: wielokryterialne drzewo decyzyjne i wielostanowe opcje realne (MSRO). W pracy porównano obszary zastosowań, ograniczenia i zalety tych metod. W rezultacie stwierdzono, że metoda MSRO jest bardziej specyficzna i może być stosowana tylko w sytuacjach, w których istnieją opcje realne.

W wielu projektach pojawia się problem wyboru momentu ich rozpoczęcia. Jest to istotne, np. gdy końcowe rezultaty są uzależnione od kursów wymiany walut. Można oczekiwać korzystniejszej sytuacji, lecz wiąże się to z ryzykiem opóźnienia projektu poza dopuszczalne granice. W pracy oparto się na metodzie Coxa-Rossa-Rubinsteina (CRR), wykorzystując drzewa dwumianowe do modelowania scenariuszy rozwoju sytuacji na rynku walutowym. Problem potraktowano dwukryterialnie, przyjmując za kryteria koszt realizacji przedsięwzięcia oraz prawdopodobieństwo, że projekt się opóźni. Przyjęto również, że parametry rozkładu prawdopodobieństwa są określane przez ekspertów. Problem przedstawiono jako proces dynamiczny. Do jego rozwiązania zaproponowano technikę interaktywną. Procedura wykorzystuje współczynniki wymiany do wyznaczenia proponowanego wariantu, który jest następnie oceniany przez decydenta.

Selection of project start time is a problem that decision makers often face. This is important when, e.g., the final results depend on currency exchange rates. Sometimes more favourable rates can be expected in the future, but postponing the project start date involves the risk of delay beyond acceptable limits. In the paper, the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein method (CRR), based on binominal trees, is applied. Two criteria are taken into account: project cost and the probability of project delay. It is assumed that the parameters of probability distribution are specified by experts. The problem is presented as a dynamic process. An interactive technique of multi-criteria decision-making about problems under risk is proposed. The procedure uses trade-offs to select a proposal, which is next evaluated by the decision maker.

The site of Świerszczów 28 was discovered in 2012 during field works connected with the construction of the Hrubieszów ring-road. The site is located on the border between Horodło Bar (Grzęda Horodelska) and Hrubieszów Basin (Kotlina Hrubieszowska). As a result of excavations, 221 non-portable features were found, of which 81 were dated based on artefacts found in their fills. The oldest phase of settlement is represented by artefacts connected with the Rzeszów phase of the Malice culture. Nine features yielded a series of 66 fragments of vessels (the majority of them were found in one feature, i.e. pit no. 243–53 sherds) which, in terms of technology, belong to the category of medium- or thick-walled pottery. Pottery forms represent vessel types typical of the Malice culture: biconical vessels – both pots and amphorae, profiled bowls and beakers on hollow feet. Vessels were decorated with ornamentation motives arranged in horizontal bands. The most typical ornaments were notches (corrugations), fingernails notches, “pinched” impressions and fingertips imprints. Knobs and plastic belts also appeared. Flint artefacts are represented by only 11 specimens. Two of them merit particular attention: an end-scraper with an oval front from feature no. 243 and a blade found in the layer of humus. Nine artefacts were made of Volhynian flint, the remaining two are burnt. The traces of the Malice culture occupation at Świerszczów 28 site are connected with a small settlement. The analyzed collection of artefacts is linked with the oldest segment of the Rzeszów phase (IIa) of the Malice culture, connected with trans-Carpathian influences from the proto-Tiszapolgár culture and phase A of the Tiszapolgár culture, which in terms of absolute chronology corresponds to the last quarter of the fourth millennium BC.

The paper presents a multiobjective dynamic programming problem with the values of the criteria function in ordered structures. The first problem is a model with deterministic values; the second, one with triangular fuzzy numbers; and the third, one with discrete random variables with the k-th absolute moment finite. The fourth model is a product of the three models listed above. The aim of the paper is to present an interactive procedure which uses trade-offs and which allows to determine the final solution in the mixed ordered structure. The ordered structures and the proposed procedure are illustrated by numerical examples.
