Testy statystyczne w procesie podejmowania decyzji
Czesław Domański, Dorota Pekasiewicz, Aleksandra Baszczyńska, Anna...
Wiedza statystyczna jest cenna dla przedstawicieli wszystkich zawodów, ponieważ przed podjęciem działań należy najpierw stawiać pytania, a następnie uzyskiwać właściwe informacje. W dzisiejszym świecie istnieje potrzeba myślenia statystycznego. Jesteśmy otoczeni wyzwaniami różnorodnych banków danych, które wymagają coraz lepszych metod statystycznych, algorytmów, modeli systemów przetwarzania. Statystyka zajmuje się kolekcjonowaniem informacji liczbowych oraz ich analizą i interpretacją. Zawarte w książce metody pozwalają odpowiedzieć na pytanie, w jaki sposób te informacje liczbowe (dane), opisują nam populacje i zjawiska, których dotyczą. Odpowiedź zależy nie tylko od samych informacji, tzn. od obserwacji, ale również od wiedzy a priori. Ta wiedza jest formalizowana za pomocą założeń przy konstrukcji metod. Najczęściej rozróżniane są trzy podejścia oparte na różnych zasadach. Należą do nich: analiza danych, klasyczne wnioskowanie i teoria decyzji, analiza bayesowska. Autorzy opisują różne klasy testów statystycznych umożliwiające aplikację metod wnioskowania statystycznego w przypadkach, w których klasyczne procedury są niemożliwe do zastosowania lub wykorzystanie ich wiąże się z ryzykiem podjęcia błędnych decyzji. Procedury weryfikacji hipotez statystycznych uwzględniane w procesach podejmowania decyzji mogą zainteresować zarówno badaczy zjawisk ekonomicznych, socjologicznych i przyrodniczych, jak studentów kierunków społecznych, rolniczych, medycznych i technicznych.

Confucius
This is a collection of judgments. In The Analects the mystical layer is completely absent, as well as the natural-philosophical problems. Outwardly unsystematically arranged aphorisms are united by the theme of creating an ideal social order, which for Confucius is an expression of the Tao in the Celestial Empire. Its implementation is possible as a result of self-improvement of a person through familiarization with writing / culture (wen).
The Atom of the Universe. The Life and Work of Georges Lemaître
Dominique Lambert
This book takes us from the early childhood to the last days of George Lemaîitre, the man behind the theory of the primeval atom, now better known as Big Bang theory. But who was George Lemaître? A clergyman, a genius astronomer, an audacious cosmologist, a computer enthusiast ahead of his time, a professor with his head in the clouds, a bon vivant mathematician and gourmand? Dominique Lambert's book peels away these layers, chapter by chapter, from the adventures of a boy from Charleroi (Belgium) who became Monseigneur Lemaître as well as his impact on contemporary cosmology. The reader will follow Lemaitre’s works through the course of his life, discovering along the way his involvement with the Chinese student community, his complex relationship with the Vatican, his deep devotion to the University of Louvain, his friendship with figures such as Einstein and Eddington, his adventures through the two World Wars, his travels in America, his curious interest in Molière and his deep faith lived through the ‘Amis de Jésus’. The resulting picture is of a remarkable figure who was sensitive, creative, meticulous and, paradoxically, both discreet and exuberant while also being a man of exceptional integrity who reconciled his science with his faith. More than a book on one person, this biography of Lemaître offers the key to a better understanding of the profound changes which took place in the fields of science, faith and academic life in the last century.

Kamil Łuczaj
This book is devoted to upwardly mobile university lecturers or people who "escaped the collective fate of their class". The upward mobility of the academic faculty is under-researched in the peripheries of global knowledge production, although there is a significant interest in the social mobility of students. Up until now, no author has explicitly raised the question of how mobility is possible in a post-socialist higher education system, what emotional mechanisms it involves, and how mobility translates into cultural practices of upwardly mobile individuals.
The Body and Sociology - empirical research and theoretical concepts
Dominika Byczkowska-Owczarek
The culinary triangle, body positivity, and one‑sex body model - these are just some of the concepts explored in this book that illustrate the ways in which human bodies are shaped by, and in turn shape, society. The volume takes readers on a journey through diverse spheres of social life in which the body plays a central role: from medicine and illness to religion and work, from food and sport to questions of gender and beauty, from temporality and media to sexuality. It also introduces readers to the achievements of sociology of the body, presenting empirical studies, both classical and contemporary theoretical approaches, and highlighting the most significant directions of research in the field. The Body and Sociology - empirical research and theoretical concepts brings together twelve chapters written by fifteen scholars specializing in the sociology of the body from across Poland. Both experienced readers and those beginning their academic exploration of the field will find valuable insights, discovering how various social phenomena influence the ways bodies are used, represented, understood, and governed.
