In the contemporary world, characterised as it is by globalisation, the idea of nationalism has been losing its appeal. However, recent Islamic movements have evolved somewhat differently, with Islamic moral and religious fervour initially leading to Muslim "internationalism". During the 1970 and 1980s, radical political Islam became integrated to some extent into "globalising" trends, but gradually it has become more pragmatic and "nation-oriented" leading to the creation of national political movements. Muslim "internationalism" has continued to influence terrorist groups that have abandoned any reference to national roots.
This investigation closely examines the so-called animal burials from the Late Neolithic period. The Kujawy site (central Poland), occupied by the globular Amphora culture people, is used here as an example. The information we have on the animal burials from this site suggests important differences from other known animal burial sites. One example is the tendency to place animals in pits within the settlement. In this way, the dead (probably killed) and intentionally buried animals became part of the space used by living people. Another important observation concerns preferences in selecting animals for use in different spheres of human activity including ritual., Marzena Szmyt., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The paper presents Potential-Based Scan Matching (PSCM) method used for simultaneous localization and mapping of mobile robot in unknown environment. The method is based on matching two proximity sensor scans from different robot locations. The resistance of the method against errors in sensor readings is investigated using both general sensor error model and error model for LMS 200 laser scanner. The method proved to be highly resistent for the noise levels exceeding the commonly used instruments.
