  • Introduction to "Solaris" Translated from Polish by Lech Keller Stanislaw Lem Is Unquestionably One of the Greatest Authors of SF in the Global History of This Genre
    Acta Polonica Monashiensis Volume 2 Number 2 December 2002 Wojciech Kajtoch Introduction to "Solaris" Translated from Polish by Lech Keller Stanislaw Lem is unquestionably one of the greatest authors of SF in the global history of this genre. Thus inclusion of his works to the reading list1 is certainly a gesture, which acknowledges the reality. One could also regard this inclusion as an ennoblement of a genre, so far virtually ignored by the school administration because of its "lowly" origin (i.e. Verne's fantastic novels, targeted mostly for young people, and American "pulp" SF magazines of the 1930s). There are also different claims, namely that "Solaris" (and this novel is virtually unanimously regarded as the best work of Lem, the work, which introduced his works to the list of "must-read" books), is not really SF. The main reason is that "Solaris" can be read and interpreted as a psychological novel, thus in this context Lem is a "real", i.e. "mainstream" writer, actually not much interested in science and technology. In short: Lem is strictly speaking a "high brow" writer, rather than a "lowly" SF writer. It should be also noted the lack of regard to the cultural background (or its arbitrary selection), which was frequent in the interpretation of the post-Second World War literature, and common in the Polish secondary schools habit of reading every literary text as a direct reflection and appraisal of the real world. This way we have compiled a catalogue of the dangers threatening analysis of "Solaris', as it is done at the classes of Polish literature.

Abstract: Trolleybus transport played a changing role in Poland. Historically, these were both periods of dynamic development and rapid regression. The article analyzes the period from 2004 to 2018. An attempt was made to systematize and organize information on the development of trolleybus transport in this period. The available scientific literature as well as the economic, organizational and technological conditions for the functioning of trolleybus transport were analyzed. The analyzed period was undoubtedly a time of dynamic development of all three existing trolleybus systems in Poland. The structural funds of the European Union played a significant role in this, allowing to revitalize neglected and underinvested systems. At the same time, climate change has influenced global and local conditions in terms of the approach to transport in cities.

  • Questioning the Techno-Savior
    Questioning the Techno-Savior: Interpreting the Effects of Techno-Scientific Expansionism on Twentieth-Century Poland Through the Fiction of Stanislaw Lem Melika Hadziomerovic College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Florida This project examines the fiction of Poland’s most renowned science fiction author, Stanislaw Lem, in order to gain a broader understanding of his interpretations of scientific modernity and technology. It argues that Lem focuses on the ideological properties of modernity in the twentieth century. Lastly, it further relates Poland’s exposure to the techno-scientific regimes of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia to the genealogy of science fiction in order to gain a better understanding of Lem’s fiction. An inherent assumption of scientific modernity is that vulnerability to imperialistic fervor and its universalizing technology functions in the best and planned interests of approach to human experience. humanity. However, breakthroughs in the field also Lem’s admitted attempts to “reconcile the contradictory tellingly lead to dominion over natural and social orders. elements of realism and fantasy” suggest that a historical- This can be seen in the use of military technology during cultural analysis of his work is appropriate (“Reflections” the twentieth century that has complicated both the 1).

(Rosenbaum 1990, 60) Rosenbaum suggests that while the film is denying our archetypal space travel, the main concern is the psychological investigation of Kris Kelvin, while trying to rediscover a lost humanity in the face of technology and science. (Duffy 2003) As Tarkovsky noted, ”l am interested above all in the character who is capable of sacrificing himself and his way of life - regardless of whether that sacrifice is made in the name of spiritual values, or for the sake of someone else, or of his own salvation, or of all these things together.” (Andrey Tarkovsky 1996, 217) Andrew Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) film can also be approached through the philosophy of mind, of key questions in this area.

  • PRESS RELEASE Even More Electric Solaris Buses Off to Katowice
    ul. Obornicka 46 , Bolechowo-Osiedle 62-005 Owińska Tel.: +48 61 66 72 333 Fax: +48 61 66 72 310 [email protected], www.solarisbus.com PRESS RELEASE Even more electric Solaris buses off to Katowice Bolechowo/ Katowice, 17.06.2020 Representatives of local transport operator Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacji Miejskiej (PKM) in Katowice and Solaris Bus & Coach S.A. signed on Monday a contract for the delivery of five e-buses Solaris Urbino 12 electric. Therefore the 10 electric buses already commissioned by the capital of Silesia will be joined by another set of environmentally friendly vehicles. At the beginning of the year, Solaris supplied five articulated Urbino 18 electric buses to the PKM operator. In a few weeks, 5 twelve-meter electric buses shall be delivered. Meanwhile, on Monday, the parties signed a contract for another five electric Urbino 12 electric to be supplied in the second quarter of 2021. The value of the contract amounts to PLN 12.4 million (ca. 3,1 million EUR). Apart from the vehicles as such, Solaris is to provide also five stationary plug-in charging devices. The electric buses for Katowice will be driven by a 160 kW central traction motor. The energy needed to propel the vehicles will be stored in a set of batteries of the latest generation - Solaris High Energy+, boasting a total capacity of 237 kWh. They will be recharged using a plug-in connector and a so-called inverted pantograph - power collectors will be installed on the roof of vehicles, to which the pantograph, permanently mounted on the mast of the stationary charger, will be lowered for the duration of the recharging process.

  • Solaris Biggest Manufacturer on Electric Bus Market in Europe Bolechowo, 15.08.2019
    ul. Obornicka 46 , Bolechowo-Osiedle 62-005 Owińska tel: +48 61 66 72 333 fax: +48 61 66 72 310 [email protected], www.solarisbus.com/ PRESS RELEASE Solaris biggest manufacturer on electric bus market in Europe Bolechowo, 15.08.2019 Thanks to three large orders placed by customers from Berlin, Warsaw and Milan, Solaris has claimed the lead spot in Europe in terms of contracts for electric buses in 2019. The electric revolution in the bus segment coincides with the company’s long-term strategy which assumes investments in particular in the development of alternative drives. In the first months of 2019, Solaris secured three large orders for the supply of electric buses to Berlin (BVG), Milan (ATM) and Warsaw (MZA). A total of up to 470 vehicles will roll off the assembly line in Bolechowo to these three metropolises alone. In addition, the producer has contracted 90 more electric buses that are to make its way to other European cities. The Polish manufacturer accounts for a total of 25% electric buses for which European carriers have called tenders in 2019. The firm has thus taken the lead in Europe in terms of contracts landed for electric buses. The European fleet currently comprises approximately 3500 electric buses, while barely five years ago their total number equaled merely 240. This marks a nearly 15-fold increase! The European Union policy is certainly conducive to raising the need for zero-emission vehicles. At the end of 2018, the European Parliament set itself the goal to ensure that in 2025, 50% of all new city buses are electric, whereas in 2030 that share is supposed to climb to 75%.

  • Estimation of the Energy Consumption of Battery Electric Buses for Public Transport Networks Using Real-World Data and Deep Learning
    energies Article Estimation of the Energy Consumption of Battery Electric Buses for Public Transport Networks Using Real-World Data and Deep Learning Teresa Pamuła * and Wiesław Pamuła * Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Krasi´nskiego8, 40-019 Katowice, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] (T.P.); [email protected] (W.P.) Received: 1 April 2020; Accepted: 6 May 2020; Published: 8 May 2020 Abstract: The estimation of energy consumption is an important prerequisite for planning the required infrastructure for charging and optimising the schedules of battery electric buses used in public urban transport. This paper proposes a model using a reduced number of readily acquired bus trip parameters: arrival times at the bus stops, map positions of the bus stops and a parameter indicating the trip conditions. A deep learning network is developed for deriving the estimates of energy consumption stop by stop of bus lines. Deep learning networks belong to the important group of methods capable of the analysis of large datasets—“big data”. This property allows for the scaling of the method and application to different sized transport networks. Validation of the network is done using real-world data provided by bus authorities of the town of Jaworzno in Poland. The estimates of energy consumption are compared with the results obtained using a regression model that is based on the collected data. Estimation errors do not exceed 7.1% for the set of several thousand bus trips. The study results indicate spots in the public transport network of potential power deficiency which can be alleviated by introducing a charging station or correcting the bus trip schedules.

  • Your Lyceum Season for 2019/20
    HELLO AND WELCOME TO YOUR LYCEUM SEASON FOR 2019/20 here’s a moment in Solaris, our opening show of the season, when Tan alien consciousness who has taken human form ruminates on the strange beauty of skin. This carapace which separates us from the rest of the world, but also allows us to experience touch. In this time of division reaching out and connecting with others is more vital than ever. This season all our shows speak to what divides and what unites us – how each of us become ‘we’. The season brings new voices and perspectives to our stage, whether they be from the barber shops of Nigeria, the invisible below-stairs world of a Jane Austen novel, or behind the walls of an infamous psychiatric hospital. We ask who are we and what can bring us together - it could be love, books, music, faith or ideas. Exploring these questions we can promise you, our theatrical community of Season Ticket Holders, a year full of pleasure and joy, wee delights and big questions, a shared experience in a fractured landscape.
