Revisiting Two-Step Forbush Decreases, Andrew P. Jordan, Harlan E. Spence, J. B. Blake, D. N. A. Shaul Nov 2011

Revisiting Two-Step Forbush Decreases, Andrew P. Jordan, Harlan E. Spence, J. B. Blake, D. N. A. Shaul

Physics & Astronomy

Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and their shocks can sweep out galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), thus creating Forbush decreases (FDs). The traditional model of FDs predicts that an ICME and its shock decrease the GCR intensity in a two-step profile. This model, however, has been the focus of little testing. Thus, our goal is to discover whether a passing ICME and its shock inevitably lead to a two-step FD, as predicted by the model. We use cosmic ray data from 14 neutron monitors and, when possible, high time resolution GCR data from the spacecraft International Gamma Ray Astrophysical Laboratory (INTEGRAL). …


The Inquiry Game: Assessing Inquiry Skills In Low-Income Preschoolers, Irene Nayfeld Nov 2011

The Inquiry Game: Assessing Inquiry Skills In Low-Income Preschoolers, Irene Nayfeld

Open Access Theses

Inquiry skills in young low-income children may be an important point of intervention for promoting school readiness and later academic achievement. The current study aimed to investigate and measure the inquiry skills of low-income preschoolers. In a newly-designed, game-based assessment (the Inquiry Game), children were instructed to ask questions to determine a target picture among an array of pictures varying by color and object type. Asking constraint-seeking questions that use color and object type to eliminate multiple pictures is a more efficient strategy (and thus evidence of greater inquiry skills), in comparison to asking about a specific picture. One hundred …

Competition Protection And Philip Kotler’S Strategic Recommendations, Anna Fornalczyk Nov 2011

Competition Protection And Philip Kotler’S Strategic Recommendations, Anna Fornalczyk

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

P. Kotler’s recommendations of modern marketing tell managers how to achieve and maintain a dominant market position. Some of the recommended activities may, however, infringe European and Polish competition law. Objections are not raised by market success achieved as a result of high product quality, good customer care, high market shares, continuous product improvements, new product release, entry onto fast growing markets, and exceeding customer expectations. Competition law problems may appear when a given company, having reached a dominant position, starts abusing it by subjugating the market and dictating business conditions to other market players (suppliers, customers, consumers). This article …


Polish Antitrust Experience With Hub-And-Spoke Conspiracies, Antoni Bolecki Nov 2011

Polish Antitrust Experience With Hub-And-Spoke Conspiracies, Antoni Bolecki

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

A hub-and-spoke conspiracy involves an exchange of confidential information primarily concerning future prices. The exchange takes place generally between competing distributors via a common supplier but a reverse relationship is also possible. The essence of hub-and-spoke lies in the fact that there is no direct contact between competitors – the party guaranteeing the information flow is normally the common supplier (distributor in a reverse scenario). A hub-and-spoke conspiracy was first identified and specifically described by the British Office of Fair Trade in 2003. There are currently several pending investigations concerning hub-and-spoke practices in a number of EU Member States including …


Powers Of Inspection Of The Polish Competition Authority. Question Of Proportionality, Maciej Bernatt Nov 2011

Powers Of Inspection Of The Polish Competition Authority. Question Of Proportionality, Maciej Bernatt

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The principle of proportionality applies to competition proceedings especially, when it comes to the exercise by the competition authority of its powers of inspection. Their use limits the economic freedom and right to privacy of the scrutinised undertakings in order to protect free competition. The use of inspection powers must thus be proportionate and remain the least onerous possible for the inspected companies. In consequence, legislation must provide procedural guarantees of proportionality of inspections. This article analyses whether the powers of inspection bestowed upon the Polish competition authority are regulated in a way that guarantees the observance of the principle …


Estimation Of Losses Due To The Existence Of Monopolies In Urban Bus Transport In Poland, Michał Wolański Nov 2011

Estimation Of Losses Due To The Existence Of Monopolies In Urban Bus Transport In Poland, Michał Wolański

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The aim of this paper is to present the different approaches to demonopolisation used in Polish and European urban public transport, compare the efficiency of these models which have proven popular in Poland as well as to estimate the total losses incurred due to the high monopolisation of Polish public transport. The methodology of the research is based on econometric modelling (Stochastic Frontier Analysis) and on a survey conducted by the author among Public Transport Authorities. The author proves that the modern London model (competition for the market) is more efficient in Polish conditions than the classic German one (communal …

Fines For Failure To Cooperate Within Antitrust Proceedings – The Ultimate Weapon For Antitrust Authorities?, Konrad Stolarski Nov 2011

Fines For Failure To Cooperate Within Antitrust Proceedings – The Ultimate Weapon For Antitrust Authorities?, Konrad Stolarski

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The aim of this article is to analyse a powerful competence available to antitrust authorities in Europe in the form of the imposition of fines for the failure to cooperate within antitrust proceedings. While fines of that type are imposed in practice very rarely, the article considers the existing decisional practice of the Polish antitrust authority as well as the European Commission, and presents the way in which their approach has evolved throughout the years. The article analyses also the question of the formal initiation of proceedings concerning procedural violations and the importance of the use of a uniform and …

A Critical Vision Of Organizational Culture, Łukasz Sułkowski Nov 2011

A Critical Vision Of Organizational Culture, Łukasz Sułkowski

European Management Studies

The analysis presented in this article focuses on the problems raised by representatives of the critical approach in human resource management and concerns the instrumental and oppressive role of organizational culture. Organizational culture has been the subject of controversy since the inception of the concept. Thus, critical reflection is of course not only conducted on the basis of Critical Management Studies (CMS). Nevertheless, representatives of CMS propose the most radical and reflexive approach that synthesizes a number of topics that appear in earlier criticism.
