The Philosophical Aspect of Anarchism in Robert Paul Wolff's Thought

"In order to better understand the subjects under consideration here, it is worth beginning with a brief overview of the various forms of anarchism, in conjunction with the essential characteristics of those which are deemed as most relevant to the issues at hand. It is necessary to locate the so-called philosophical anarchism mainstream in a broader framework, to show its sources and to select the fundamental differences that exist between this approach and other forms of anarchism. Already, at the outset, some divisions are visible which will help to define a kind of framework for future analysis."(...

Use of the Gis Technique for the Determining of the Crisis Areas on the Example of the City Żywiec

Revitalization activities are one of the priority tasks of local governments of small towns in Poland, because they give a chance to use EU funds. The basic steps in the procedure for defining areas of revitalization include delimitation and index analysis. Currently, statistical data and those from social consultations are most often used for it. The aim of the article is to indicate GIS techniques as a tool enabling an extended diagnosis leading to the designation of crisis areas.Działania rewitalizacyjne stanowią jedne z priorytetowych zadań samorządów w Polsce, ponieważ dają szansę na wykorzystanie funduszy unijnych. Do podstawowych kroków procedury definiowania obszarów rewitalizowanych należy delimitacja pól podstawowych oraz analiza wskaźnikowa. Obecnie najczęściej wykorzystuje się do niej dane statystyczne oraz te pochodzące z konsultacji społecznych. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie technik GIS jako narzędzia umożliwiającego rozszerzoną diagnozę prowadzącą do wyznaczenia obszarów kryzysowych

Wissenschaft und biologisch-dynamische Forschung

Einblicke in das Empfinden, Pflanzen nach Belieben genetisch manipulieren zu können, sowie die der materialistisch gesinnten Wissenschaft gegenüberstehenden biologisch-dynamischen Herangehensweisen, werden in diesem Essay gegeben. Ergänzend wird die Notwendigkeit aufgezeigt, Methoden zu entwickeln, welche die Objektivität biologisch-dynamischer Forschungsergebnisse belegen und eine Nachvollziehbarkeit zuwege bringen

A jewel on a man’s head – a felt hat from an archaeological excavation at 1 Sadowa Street in Gdańsk

In 2009–2010, an archaeological excavation was carried out at 1 Sadowa Street in the so-called Lower City of Gdańsk/Poland (former Danzig), during which a considerable number of artefacts of organic materials were discovered, including a well-preserved felt hat from a 17th/18th century layer of a building. The aim of the activities undertaken by the Authors of this paper was to establish the chronology of the hat, determine how it was made, identify the material, and perform an in-depth analysis of its form compared with other finds of thiskind using basic research methods. The employed methods included the typological method, a case study as well as organoleptic and microscopic methods for identifying the item and determining the degree of material biodegradation. The following research techniques wereadopted: technological textile, felt, etc. analysis including observation of the surface with a stereoscopic microscope, material analysis with an optical microscope, and XRF spectrometry.In 2009–2010, an archaeological excavation was carried out at 1 Sadowa Street in the so-called Lower City of Gdańsk/Poland (former Danzig), during which a considerable number of artefacts of organic materials were discovered, including a well-preserved felt hat from a 17th/18th century layer of a building.

Networked individuals in the virtual political and social mediasphere

Praca recenzowana / Peer-reviewed paperThis work is divided into three parts, which the authors hope will enable the reader to more easily find topics of interest. The first part consists of two chapters concerning new information and communication technologies. The main aim of the authors is to present the most recent information regarding the internet as a means of communication and the diverse uses and applications of the Web. Here the reader will also find a chapter with a more detailed presentation of certain new communication tools and technologies used in political and social activity. The second part focuses on issues of political communication, and the changes resulting from the increasingly common use of new communication technologies by both the authors of political discourse and their audiences. The social aspect of new technologies is discussed in the third part of the book. In numerous researches dealing with the issue of the relation between the use of new information and communication technologies and the level of involvement in social and political life, two main opinions may be discerned. Firstly, there are those who do not attach great importance to new technologies and deny that there is a link between these technologies and social and political involvement. The reader will find a great deal of information regarding the activities of the participants of civic society – in particular, social movements, but also non-governmental organizations – in the environment of new information and communication technologies

Taking gender seriously : present trends and recommendation for scientific environment

This report deals with the issues of women’s participation in the science and research sector. Analysis of the statistical data shows that both in the United States and in Europe, despite the fact that women make up almost half of those receiving a doctoral degree, among professors they are barely one-fifth. This issue is presented in geographical terms, divided into the countries of the European Union, Poland and Scandinavia. Common to them is the situation in which women scientists encounter more barriers than similarly qualified men on their career path. In Poland, too, despite a significant increase in the number of women studying at the further stages of the scientific career, the situation of women is not satisfactory. The last part of the paper is devoted to the policy of the Nordic countries in eliminating the phenomenon of gender inequality in the scientific sector. Although the countries in this region all run their own policy on gender balance in society, they are conducting a far-reaching consultation on a common strategy in this area, and action on gender equality in the Nordic scientific research sector is based primarily on anti-discrimination legislation. The solutions adopted in this region and the guidelines of European institutions will be treated as a kind of reference point for action to eliminate inequalities based on gender in the scientific sector

Rządowy program „Rodzina na swoim”. Społeczne, ekonomiczne i medialne reperkusje wdrażania

The article presents an analysis and evaluation of housing policy instruments, with particular focus on, the program “Family on its own” implemented in Poland in recent years. It is worth to mention that the government eventually led to the total extinction of the program and replaced it with other tools. The question is whether it happened on fi nancial basis, or the decision was made because of its mediocre results, otherwise costly program. Finally, an interesting element here seems to be the matter of spreading the information about the program, especially the fact that initially the media did not show particular attention to it. Undoubtedly valuable source of analysis of this subject, in addition to selected, professional books and reviewed papers, reports and analyzes. In addition some network resources, and newspaper articles will help to follow the ongoing debate and help to conduct an accurate analysis of this question
