State's Responsibility for International Crimes

Although more than 75 years have elapsed since the end of the Second World War, the magnitude of crimes and their long-term effects, caused also by lawyers e.g. in German special courts, make the subject of liability of the state in the context of the Second World War ever topical and valid. Historia magistra vitae est, and the process of learning from history should in this case cover not only the years 1933–1945, but also the entire post-war period. Justice was neither restored nor meted out. One of the reasons for the lack of administration of justice was West Germany's conscious policy of personal continuity after the Second World War. The latter was the topic of the Rosenburg Exhibition – the Federal Ministry of Justice of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Shadow of National Socialist Past. The texts grew out of the context of the exhibition and show the far-reaching consequences of War and Nazi crimes in international relations of a legal nature

New trends in tourism research - A Polish perspective

This Monograph is composed with selected articles of PhD students from many Polish universities. These articles are a selection of papers submitted to the II International Conference of Tourism, Hospitality and Recreation 2014 (EJTHR 2014), that took place in Poznan (Poland), on 19th -21st May, 2014. The Conference was co-organized by the following entities: - GITUR – Tourism Research Unit of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (Portugal) - European Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Recreation - EJTHR - University School of Physical Education in Poznan (Poland) - University of Economy in Bydgoszcz (Poland)The monograph “New Trends in Tourism Research - A Polish Perspective” is just one of three outcomes of the II International Conference promoted in Poznan, Poland (19th – 21st May 2014) that was organised by EJTHR - European Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Recreation2. The uniqueness of this publication is the fact that all the selected articles are authored by Polish Ph.D. students from many universities, choosing tourism as their main research subject. As a mechanism that works flawlessly, the international conferences organized by the EJTHR are meant to work as a leverage in promoting tourism research, particularly in the host country. This way, a significant amount of Polish young people doing their first steps in Tourism Research were challenged to present their studies in the conference and to publish heir papers after double-blind peer review process. As a result, a total of seventeen authored by twenty four PhD students were selected for publishing in this monograph.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The Exercise of Criminal Justice in Medieval Towns: A Comparison of English and Polish Jurisdiction

The thesis offers a new vision of medieval criminal justice and for the first time identifies the significant common elements in the exercise of criminal law regulations in selected fourteenth-century towns in two contrasting countries in late medieval Europe, England and Poland. These elements include principles of cooperation and control between royal and local powers in the establishment and exercise of legal proceedings. These are also among the main determinants of the developing status and agency of medieval European urban communities including their executive powers. Through a comparative analysis of the local practice that comprised criminal justice in both nations’ systems of law, this thesis marks new ground in the study of international features of criminal law proceedings in the period. It also contributes to a wider understanding of local mechanisms of control and the extent to which towns nevertheless relied upon the enforcement power of central royal authorities. Focusing on towns like Bristol, Exeter, Norwich, York, Wrocław and Kraków, this study explores the importance of local legal regulation in each town’s development, their aspirations to control their own administrative and legal processes and the limits to their level of autonomy. The thesis examines the individual stages of how local criminal law was exercised in towns of both countries, by demonstrating from various legal documents that formed parts of royal grants, privileges and charters, the roles of executive bodies directly involved in implementing local laws. The results reveal that despite political, territorial and monarchical differences that existed between the countries and their separate systems of law, there were certain common elements that arguably provide an international character for the application of local criminal justice. The thesis expands upon existing knowledge and scholarship about the essential role of corporal punishments in municipal legal proceedings, including how these were appropriate to each criminal and their specific crime. It also identifies a new approach towards the main factors affecting the active pursuit of criminal justice in England and Poland, especially their impact upon a general understanding of medieval European law enforcement procedures

Upowszechnianie wyników badań naukowych w międzynarodowych bazach danych : analiza biometryczna na przykładzie nauk technicznych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem elektrotechniki

The issues of bibliometrics, scientometrics, informetrics and webometrics have an important place among research subject undertaken by Polish and foreign scholars. Initially, these notions were used only by researchers in the fields of library science, scientometrics and information science. However, at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, quantitative methods became a fundamental tool for evaluation of, among others, sources of academic communication, academic research, research and academic centers. One of the elements of the evaluation is a quantitative analysis of academic publications in databases with international access. It is of particular importance in the case of technical sciences. This work is an attempt at a quantitative analysis of publications by Polish authors (affiliated to Polish technical universities) and Polish journals on electrotechnics in international databases. The contents are organized into four chapters with an introduction, conclusions, bibliography, name index and a list of figures and illustrations. Chapters one and two are devoted to theoretical issues, whereas chapters three and four – to practical issues. In the first chapter, selected issues concerning quantitative methods were presented, including an analysis of literature and a discussion over terminology carried out in book publications and journals. Moreover, selected examples of research conducted with the use of quantitative methods (including rankings and scientific reports) were discussed in this chapter). In chapter two, sources of information on academic publications, their origins and development (from bibliographic bases to citation indexes) were presented. A separate subchapter was devoted to databases of academic publications created by libraries of technical universities, and to indicators in the assessment of academic publications. Chapter three deals with electrotechnics as a field of science. An analysis was conducted with regard to the place of electrotechnics in science classifications based on selected examples, and the development of the teaching of electrotechnics at university level was shown. In this chapter, early and contemporary Polish journals on electrotechnics were presented, including journals published by technical universities themselves. Chapter four contains the results of an analysis of international databases (Scopus, WoS, CC), focusing on the representation of Polish journals, including their citations, and publications of authors with affiliation to Polish technical universities. Final conclusions of research and analyses have brought an answer to questions raised with regard to the assessment of representation in international databases of publications by Polish authors affiliated to Polish technical universities (in its various aspects, e.g., a publication type, language of publication, publication dynamics taking into account years of publications, cooperation with representatives of other European and non-European countries), and of Polish journals
