Congenital amusia (amusia, hereafter) is a developmental disorder that impacts negatively on the perception of music. Psychophysical testing suggests that individuals with amusia have above average thresholds for detection of pitch change and pitch direction discrimination; however, a low-level auditory perceptual problem cannot completely explain the disorder, since discrimination of melodies is also impaired when the constituent intervals are suprathreshold for perception. The aim of the present study was to test pitch memory as a function of (a) time and (b) tonal interference, in order to determine whether pitch traces are inherently weaker in amusic individuals. Memory for the pitch of single tones was compared using two versions of a paradigm developed by Deutsch (1970a). In both tasks, participants compared the pitch of a standard (S) versus a comparison (C) tone. In the time task, the S and C tones were presented, separated in time by 0, 1, 5, 10, and 15 s (blocked presentation). In the interference task, the S and C tones were presented with a fixed time interval (5 s) but with a variable number of irrelevant tones in between: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 tones (blocked presentation). In the time task, control performance remained high for all time in tervals, but amusics showed a performance decrement over time. In the interference task, controls and amusics showed a similar performance decrement with increasing number of irrelevant tones. Overall, the results suggest that the pitch representations of amusic individuals are less stable and more prone to decay than those of matched non-amusic individuals.

The paper examines issues related to the coordination of fiscal and monetary policies. The author discusses the implications of delayed monetary and fiscal decisions and the difficulties involved in setting economic policy goals. He also describes the “one-armed policymaker” syndrome and the “zero bound problem.” The discussion indicates that proper coordination makes it possible to limit delays in economic policy. It also offsets the shortage of instruments at the disposal of policy makers and helps prevent deflation pressure, while increasing the efficiency of economic policy under “the zero bound problem.” All this increases the probability that monetary and fiscal policy makers will successfully attain their goals. The author concludes that the relationships between monetary and fiscal policies are much deeper and more complex than they seem to be, going beyond their traditional perception in terms of inflation and budget deficit financing. Moreover, considering the limitations of fiscal policy that reduce its flexibility, coordination efforts should primarily support the position of the central bank as a prime decision maker with considerable room for maneuver. Fiscal authorities should essentially limit themselves to supporting central bank activities and pursuing well-designed policies.

Paradigm and Suspense. Th e Dramaturgy of a Film Script   Film scripts have a dramaturgical structure, i.e. a specific format comprising a particular number of scenes written in a predetermined order. Its vital elements are a three-act structure and two plot twists. It is also characterized by the development of tension, intended to lead to a constant rise in emotions as the story advances. The dramaturgy of the scenes and their sequence are built in many ways, the main two being suspense and delay. These are used to suspend action, slow it down in order to achieve an element of surprise, and to raise emotions in forthcoming scenes.

Wstęp. Pierwszy kontakt „skóra do skóry” (STS – skin-to-skin) polega na ułożeniu nagiego noworodka bezpośrednio po narodzinach, jeszcze przed przecięciem pępowiny, na nagiej piersi matki. Mimo iż kontakt „skóra do skóry” przynosi wiele korzyści zarówno dla matki, jak i dziecka, co udowodniono w wielu badaniach medycznych, nadal bywa niedoceniany, pomijany lub błędnie realizowany.

Background. The first skin-to-skin contact (STS) consists of placing a naked newborn immediately after birth, before the umbilical cord is cut, on the mother’s naked breast. Although skin to skin contact has many benefits for both mother and child, as has been proven in many medical tests, it is still underestimated, overlooked or misdiagnosed.

Contractual penalty is one of the most commonly used so-called additional contractual clauses, especially in professional trading. Such a provision, properly constructed, in accordance with art. 483-484 of the Civil Code, significantly secures the creditor's interest. The possibility of modifying the extent of the debtor's liability means that liability for contractual penalties may also be based on circumstances other than those provided for in Article 471 of the Civil Code. In extreme cases, this leads to the debtor's liability being extended to the limit of absolute liability. The purpose of this study is to distinguish between two civil law institutions that define the limits of the debtor's liability for non-performance or improper performance of an obligation, especially since the warranty claim was not discussed in the doctrine.

Kara umowna, która stanowi jedno z najczęściej stosowanych tzw. dodatkowych zastrzeżeń umownych, pozwala zabezpieczyć interes wierzyciela, niemniej dłużnik ma różne możliwości, aby zwolnić się z obowiązku jej zapłaty albo zapłacić kwotę niższą niż wynikałaby z postanowienia umownego. Przepisy regulujące karę umowną pozwalają jednak na modyfikację instytucji prawa cywilnego w kierunku rozszerzenia okoliczności, w których wierzyciel będzie uprawniony obciążyć dłużnika karą umowną. W wyniku tego może dojść do znacznego odstępstwa od ustawowych zasad związanych ze stosowaniem kar umownych, prowadząc w skrajnym przypadku do rozszerzenia odpowiedzialności dłużnika do granic odpowiedzialności absolutnej. Daje to możliwość wprowadzenia do umowy tzw. zastrzeżenia gwarancyjnego. W artykule została podjęta próba rozróżnienia tych dwóch instytucji prawa cywilnego, wskazania ich cech wspólnych, ale przede wszystkim różnic, jak i zasad wprowadzenia tych postanowień do umowy. Modyfikacja zasad odpowiedzialności dłużnika z tytułu kar umownych nie może bowiem pomijać granic, o których mowa w art. 3531 Kodeksu cywilnego. Zastrzeżenie gwarancyjne, jako bardzo daleko idące odstępstwo od kodeksowej konstrukcji kary umownej, powinno być wprowadzane do umowy z dużą ostrożnością.

System stanowienia prawa w Polsce jest wadliwy. Jego podstawą powinny być konsultacje między rządem a środowiskami i instytucjami pozarządowymi. Jednym z narzędzi tak rozumianych konsultacji – dialogu społecznego – jest Trójstronna Komisja ds. Społeczno-Gospodarczych. W założeniu miała stanowić płaszczyznę porozumiewania się rządu ze związkami zawodowymi i pracodawcami. Jej usytuowanie przy Ministerstwie Pracy i Polityki Społecznej jest nieefektywne. Niepowodzeniu przekazywania informacji między trzema stronami służy także brak umiejętności prowadzenia rozmowy i negocjacji, które pozwoliłyby na wypracowanie ustaleń – porozumień. Te z kolei stałyby się podstawą konstruowania ustaw. W rezultacie prawo, które powinno wyprzedzać zjawiska gospodarcze (pozytywne i negatywne), budowane jest przez ustawodawcę z opóźnieniem (time-lag). Rodzi to negatywne skutki dla firm i całej gospodarki oraz wywołuje kryzysowe zjawiska społeczne, np. wzrost bezrobocia.

The system of law enactment in Poland is flawed. It should be based on consultations between the government and non-governmental communities and institutions. One of the tools of such consultations, i.e. social dialogue, is the Tri-partite Commission for Socio-Economic Issues. It was supposed to constitute a plane for communication between the government, trade unions and employers. Its existence at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy proved to be ineffective. Also lack of ability to conduct conversations and negotiations, which would serve to develop arrangements — agreements which, in turn, would become the basis for formulating statutes — does not contribute to successful transfer of information between the three parties. As a result, the law which should anticipate the existing economic phenomena (positive and negative) is created by a legislator with a time-lag. This situation entails negative consequences for companies and the
