“…The presented text aims, on the one hand, to recall people’s lives that should not be forgotten, and on the other hand, it is an attempt to mark in their context the borderline of the validity of contemporary pedagogical reflection on symbolic violence. The former concerns the analysis of Polish Jews’ childhood experiences from the World War II period, connected with the breaking of the primary national and religious identity and re-integration into a new Polish identity. …”

Simulation research on dynamic characteristics of scroll compressor with flexible clearance. by Haifei Qiu, Zhang Yifan, Li Feiyang, Chen Xiandong

“…The study indicates that simulation results for flexible and rigid bodies are vastly different, and the former is closer to reality. Compared with the case in an ideal state (0mm), clearance at 0.01mm and 0.04mm can cause an enormous impact on the critical bearing components of the spindle, such as the orbiting scroll, cross-slip ring, and support bearing, which results in unexpected vibration and noise. …”

MEASURES TO PRESERVE THE ECO-BALANCE OF THE TERRITORIES AND DEVELOP ECOLOGICAL TOURISM: IN SEARCH OF PARITY by L. N. Talalova

Beyond “for ever England”: Contemporary British Women’s War Poetry and the First World War Canon by Sofia Permiakova

“…This article argues that while the public discourse on war memory often turned to the idea of a “shared past” between the UK and former colonies, thus “sanitising” the history of colonial violence (as argued by Santanu Das), poems by Yrsa Daley-Ward, Malika Booker, Imtiaz Dharker, and Jenny Lewis written for commemorative anthologies effectively de-colonise the nar- rative(s) of the First World War by opening up the space for new voices and construing the image of England beyond “for ever England” in its relation to other spaces and other wars.…”
