We look at a simple origami box that can be made from two sheets of regular printing paper. In the context of the construction of the box, we explore problems that emerge at the intersection of algebra, geometry, and calculus.

Abstract Mechanical pulp for printing paper can be produced with a process that involve much less equipment and that require much lower specific energy compared to conventional processes. Even though common evaluation methods, e.g. handsheet testing, have shown that the pulp quality is similar for the simplified and the conventional processes, it is not known how fibre properties, at the microscopic level, is developed with the simplified process. In this mill scale study, the fibre properties attained with an “intensified” mechanical pulping process, consisting of single stage high consistency double disc refining followed by two stage low consistency refining and no reject treatment was investigated. The simplified process was compared to a process with a reject system. The simplified process rendered fibres with higher degree of fibrillation, higher share of axial splits, lower fibre wall thickness but slightly lower length than the conventional process. The fibrillar fines size distribution of the two processes was different. The conventional process generated more of small fibrillar fines which probably explains the higher tensile index at given density for that process. The results show that it is possible to simplify the production process for mechanical pulp and reduce the specific energy with over 700 kWh/adt.

The article focuses on the selected examples of the blurring of a book’s genre status by means of specifi c editorial solutions, such as the use of a spatial layout of the text, the differentiation of fonts, the selection of printing paper, the cover design etc. This mechanism is discussed on the example of six experimental works of contemporary Polish non-fi ction literature. Books by Filip Springer and Jarosław Mikołajewski, bordering upon literary reportage, show how the use of typography enhances the formal hybridity or even amorphousness of the text. In turn, Mariusz Szczygieł and Wojciech Tochman, their documentary narratives, emphasize the mutual synergy between the physical components of the book, which undermines the standard genre classifi cation.
