In recent years, the debate on emotions has been influenced by postconstructionist research, particularly the use of performativity as a key concept. According to Judith Butler (1993, 1997) the construction of emotions is a process open to constant change and redefinition. The final result of emotionlanguage “natural” development is what is known as technoscience. New ways of naming emotions have emerged within technoscience. In our research on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) by cyber-café and call shop users, we came to understand how these technologies are significant in those users’ daily life. The emphasis will be on analyzing emotions related to the use of ICT in the aforementioned settings. Using the concept of performance (Butler, 1990), we will explore how narratives create a need for particular emotions, which did not exist before they were performed. To understand this performance, we use an ad hoc tool called Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA) as it is used by the Manchester School. Analysis has revealed the existence of a membership category in which velocity is salient as performance. This ‘velocity’ seems to follow the evolution of technoscience in the social sciences. We will observe velocity in the context created by two concepts, Donna Haraway’s (1990) cyborg and Alessandro Baricco’s (2007) mutant.

Present study is on the interdependent nature of hydraulic parameters and morphometric variables of a bedrock river. In this study, using dumpy level, GPS, satellite images and some mathematical equations a data set on hydraulics and morphometric variables of a bedrock channel, named Bhatajhor, of eastern India was generated. That data set was used to (1) find out impulse-response relations between hydraulic variables (2) find out relations between morphometric variables and (3) find out relations between hydraulic and morphometric variables. Seven equations (5–11) were formulated based on this empirical study to the end. The seven empirical relations, most of which include only two variables, involve channel cross-section dimensions (area, width, mean depth, maximum depth, width/depth ratio, hydraulic radius), slope and hydraulic variables (velocity, kinetic energy, stream power, Manning’s n factor, Chezy’s C factor and shear stress). Observation shows relatively higher coefficient of determination (R2) between variables like velocity and Manning’s n factor (0.67), velocity and Chezy’s C factor (0.67), slope and τ (0.89), w/d ratio and hydraulic radius (0.53), slope and w/d ratio (0.50).

Adaptiveness is one of the most significant features of the supply chain that affects the results of its functioning. The capability of the supply chain to adapt to all, more and more demanding conditions is one of the main factors that guarantee long-term competitiveness and success. R. Kalakota, M. Robinson and P. Gundepudi consider inventory visibility, fulfilment velocity and coordination versatility as three fundamental pillars of adaptive supply chains, also termed as 3V in the literature. The chief objective of this paper is the identification of features that a supply chain should have in order to be called adaptive, as well as the verification of their compliance with the 3V principle. The review of the available literature sources that focus on the subject of the major features of adaptive supply chains (in particular having a decisive effect on their adaptive capabilities) has resulted in certain common elements. The authors of all the described approaches emphasise the two features: visibility and velocity. The third, frequently indicated, feature is also versatility or variety (that can be treated as one of the elements of the versatility of the supply chain). Visibility involves ensuring access to the information for all participants in the supply chain, also customers. Velocity, in turn, refers to the reaction time of the supply chain to all sorts of events and the time of implementing necessary changes. The third element is versatility. It primarily involves balancing the operational capability of a supply chain with market requirements, in particular delivering suitable products and services of the required quality and in the ordered volume. It is also vital to adjust the offer to the individual needs of customers.

The article presents a comprehensive view of the origins, technical characteristics and functioning of the Siedlce-Bologoye railway line. This railway, with an impressive length of 1.100 km, was built in the years 1902–1907 as a connection between the lands of the Kingdom of Poland and the governorates of central Russia in order to ensure the efficient transport of troops and their supplies given the anticipated war with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The work aims to illustrate to what extent the assumptions of the construction promoters were confirmed and how it was used in particular periods.

The large area of the communicative experiences of the nowadays’ media audiences consists of the quick, powerful sensual and emotional stimulation, with the minimal intellectual input. Their prevalence can lead to the changes within the processes of the social agenda setting, and the shifts in the organization of the knowledge construction and exchange. This paper is devoted to the definition and characteristics of such experiences, and to their interrelationships with the media, the communication technologies, and the context that is the post-modern consumption culture.

Znaczna część doświadczeń komunikacyjnych współczesnych audytoriów polega na krótkotrwałej, silnej stymulacji emocjonalnej i zmysłowej, przy minimalnym udziale oddziaływania intelektualnego. Dominacja takich doświadczeń może prowadzić do zmian w społecznych procesach ustanawiania agendy oraz konstruowania i wymiany wiedzy. Esej poświęcony jest definicji i charakterystyce tego typu doświadczenia, jego związkom z mediami, technologiami komunikacyjnymi i kontekstem, jaki stanowi ponowoczesna kultura konsumpcyjna.

W pracy przedstawiono wpływ zarysowania na prędkość podłużnych fal akustycznych w elemencie żelbetowym pod obciążeniem. Badania przeprowadzono na belce o wymiarach 120 × 300 × 6300 mm wykonanej w zakładzie prefabrykacji. Pokazano, iż powstawaniu rys towarzyszy spadek prędkości propagacji fal nawet o ponad 50%. Analiza prędkości rozchodzenia się podłużnych fal akustycznych w elementach pod obciążeniem jest perspektywą opracowania metody nieniszczącej oceny stanu technicznego konstrukcji betonowych. Efektem pomiaru jest spadek prędkości fal do pewnego poziomu degradacji materiału.

This paper presents effect of cracks formation on the velocity of longitudinal acoustic waves in reinforced concrete element under load. Experiments were carried out on 120 × 300 × 6300 mm prefabricated beams. It was found, that formation of cracks causes attenuation of elastic wave (acoustic) velocity of over 50%. Hence, analysis of the elastic wave velocity can be used for structures diagnosis. Research will be carried out to develop non-destructive method for evaluation of technical state of reinforced concrete structures, which is based on the of longitudinal wave velocity.
