In November 1993, at the International Conference “Conserving Europe’s Natural Heri- tage – Towards a European Ecological Network” in Maastricht, under the auspices of the European Commission, the General-Secretariat of the Council of Europe and by IUCN – The World Conservation Union, participants gave their full approval of the concept of European Ecological Network (EECONET) in the Conference Declaration. The Ministerial Conference in Sofia in 1995 has adopted The Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy, with among others Action Team 1 – Establishing the Pan-European Ecological Network and Action Team 6 – River ecosystems and related wetlands. Under the latest, eight rivers in Europe, among others Vistula and Bug river, were listed as river ecological corridors of major importance for establishing and function- ing of the Pan-European Ecological Network. In support of the above mentioned initiatives, in 1993 the IUCN European Programme started series of projects to develop National Ecological Networks (ECONETs) in four Easter European countries (Hungary, Poland, Czech and Slovak Republics), a well as to evaluate the status of rivers ecosystem conservation in Central and Eastern Europe. As a result several reports have been published, among others, “Vistula as an Ecological Corridor. State – Functioning – Threats” (1995) and “Odra as an Ecological Corridor. State – Functioning – Threats” (1995), River Corridors in Hungary (1995). In 1997, IUCN Office for Central Europe

  • New Perspectives of Studies in the Przeworsk Culture in the Lublin Region
    ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA CARPATHICA VOL. LV (2020): 111–136 PL ISSN 0001-5229 DOI 10.4467/00015229AAC.20.006.13511 Marta stasiaK-Cyran New perspectives of studies in the Przeworsk culture in the Lublin region – on the example of the results of interdisciplinary studies of site 5 in Nieszawa Kolonia, Opole Lubelskie district, Lublin voivodship Abstract: The last twenty years have brought discoveries which provide a large number of sources concerning the archaeology of the Roman Period in the Lublin region. The interdisciplinary studies related to site 5 in Nieszawa Kolonia, Opole Lubelskie district, Lublin region, Poland, have generated a substantial part of these new sources. The multi-aspectual analysis of archaeological and biological sources allowed us to characterize of the economy of the dwellers of the settlement which was constituted by agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing. The relative chronology of the settlement was established, and the first stage of its functioning was determined as belonging to phase B2, until phase C1a inclusive. The second stage of the utilisation of the settlement is dated to phase C3-D1. Three instances of radiocarbon dating confirm the chronological frame established by relative dating. The presented analysis of selected archaeological sources from site 5 in Nieszawa Kolonia, especially of ceramic material, seems to confirm the possibility that in the early Roman period, in the Lublin region, especially in its western part, infiltration of Dacian cultural elements into the Przeworsk environment took place. It is undeniable that the chronology of the settlement in Nieszawa Kolonia extends beyond the established time frame assumed for the functioning of the Przeworsk culture in the Lublin region.

  • They Fought for Independent Poland
    2019 Special edition PISMO CODZIENNE Independence Day, November 11, 2019 FREE AGAIN! THEY FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENT POLAND Dear Readers, The day of November 11 – the National Independence Day – is not accidentally associated with the Polish military uni- form, its symbolism and traditions. Polish soldiers on almost all World War I fronts “threw on the pyre their lives’ fate.” When the Polish occupiers were drown- ing in disasters and revolutions, white- and-red flags were fluttering on Polish streets to mark Poland’s independence. The Republic of Poland was back on the map of Europe, although this was only the beginning of the battle for its bor- ders. Józef Piłsudski in his first order to the united Polish Army shared his feeling of joy with his soldiers: “I’m taking com- mand of you, Soldiers, at the time when the heart of every Pole is beating stron- O God! Thou who from on high ger and faster, when the children of our land have seen the sun of freedom in all its Hurls thine arrows at the defenders of the nation, glory.” He never promised them any bat- We beseech Thee, through this heap of bones! tle laurels or well-merited rest, though. On the contrary – he appealed to them Let the sun shine on us, at least in death! for even greater effort in their service May the daylight shine forth from heaven’s bright portals! for Poland. And they never let him down Let us be seen - as we die! when in 1920 Poland had to defend not only its own sovereignty, but also entire Europe against flooding bolshevism.

  • THE BUG RIVER VALLEY for NATURE LOVERS Eastern Poland with a Difference
    THE BUG RIVER VALLEY FOR NATURE LOVERS Eastern Poland with a difference By Olivier Dochy, Belgium From 21st until 25th of June, I got the chance to join a study visit to the valley of the Bug river on the border of Poland and Belarus, in the far east of Poland. The purpose of this visit was tot evaluate local initiatives for sustainable tourism, oriented to "riverside & country- side" tourism. This visit was organized by a Flemish-Polish exchange project with the prov- inces of West-Vlaanderen en Lubelski (Poland), but also the flemish initiative vzw De Boot (www.deboot.be). My task was to evaluate which topics in the region could be interesting for nature-lovers in general and keen nature-specialists in particular, such as birders. Well, there is a lot ! It is not like the wild expanses of the well-known Biebrza valley or the untouched forests of Bia- lowieza, but rather a small-scale (agri)cultural landscape. But it still has all the biodiversity that once flourished in Western-Europe and now all (but) disappeared. Here follow a number of tips voor those who want to visit the region. There is a lot of in- formation great and small on the internet about the region, but you have to surf a lot to find it all. Anyway, there certainly is a lot to discover for naturalists with a pioneer drive ! You can find pictures of our visit here: http://picasaweb.google.com/Odee.fotos/BugRiverPoland?feat=directlink 1 WHERE IS IT ? The province of Lubelski is in the extreme east of Poland.

  • High Prevalence of Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy in Rio Grande Do Norte State, Northeast Brazil
    de Azevedo Medeiros et al. Diabetol Metab Syndr (2017) 9:80 DOI 10.1186/s13098-017-0280-7 Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome RESEARCH Open Access High prevalence of Berardinelli‑Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy in Rio Grande do Norte State, Northeast Brazil Lázaro Batista de Azevedo Medeiros1,2, Verônica Kristina Cândido Dantas1, Aquiles Sales Craveiro Sarmento2, Lucymara Fassarella Agnez‑Lima2, Adriana Lúcia Meireles3, Thaiza Teixeira Xavier Nobre1, Josivan Gomes de Lima4 and Julliane Tamara Araújo de Melo Campos1,2* Abstract Background: Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is a rare disease characterized by the almost com‑ plete absence of adipose tissue. Although a large number of BSCL cases was previously identifed in Rio Grande do Norte (RN), a state in Northeast Brazil, its prevalence in RN regions and municipalities remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to better characterize the prevalence of BSCL in RN. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using secondary data obtained from the Association of Parents and People with BSCL of RN to determine its prevalence. The patients’ socio-demographic characteristics and geolocaliza‑ tion were analyzed. Results: We estimated a total of 103 BSCL cases in RN, resulting in a prevalence of 3.23 per 100,000 people. The Cen‑ tral Potiguar mesoregion, Seridó territory, Carnaúba dos Dantas and Timbaúba dos Batistas municipalities had a much higher prevalence of BSCL, with 20.56, 20.66, 498.05 and 217.85 per 100,000 people, respectively. Conclusions: Together, our results showed that BSCL is highly prevalent in RN and confrmed that our state has one of the highest prevalences of this lipodystrophy worldwide.

  • Floods in Poland from 1946 to 2001 — Origin, Territorial Extent and Frequency
    Polish Geological Institute Special Papers, 15 (2004): 69–76 Proceedings of the Conference “Risks caused by the geodynamic phenomena in Europe” FLOODS IN POLAND FROM 1946 TO 2001 — ORIGIN, TERRITORIAL EXTENT AND FREQUENCY Andrzej DOBROWOLSKI1, Halina CZARNECKA1, Janusz OSTROWSKI1, Monika ZANIEWSKA1 Abstract. Based on the data concerning floods on the territory of Poland during the period 1946–2001, the reasons generating floods, the number of regional floods in the rivers catchment systems, and sites of local floods occurrence, were defined. Both types of floods: caused by riverbank overflows, and land flooding by rain or snow-melt water, were considered. In the most cases, the floods were caused by rainfall. They were connected with changes in the rainfall structure within Po- land. In each season of the year floods of various origin were observed. When the flood initiating factors appeared simulta- neously, the flood grew into a catastrophic size. In present analysis, for the first time in Poland, a large group of local floods has been distinguished. A special attention has been paid to floods caused by sudden flooding of the land (flash flood), including floods in the urban areas — more and more frequent during the recent years. The results of the analyses have provided important data for the assessment of the flood hazard in Poland, and for the creation of a complex flood control strategy for the whole country and/or for selected regions. Key words: flood, classification of floods, floods territorial extent, frequency of floods occurrence, torrential and rapid rain- fall, threat of life, material losses. Abstrakt. Na podstawie zbioru danych z lat 1946–2001 okreœlono przyczyny wystêpowania powodzi w Polsce, liczbê powodzi re- gionalnych w uk³adzie zlewni rzecznych oraz miejsca wyst¹pieñ powodzi lokalnych.

  • Sediment Yields and Denudation Rates in Poland
    Erosion and Sediment Yield: Global and Regional Perspectives (Proceedings of the Exeter Symposium, July 1996). IAHS Publ. no. 236, 1996. 133 Sediment yields and denudation rates in Poland JAN BRAÑSKI Research and Design Office HYDROS, ul. Somleñskiego 16 B m.58, 01 698 Warsaw, Poland KAZIMIERZ BANASIK Department of Hydraulic Structures, Warsaw Agricultural University SGGW, ul. Nowoursynowska 166, 02-787 Warsaw, Poland Abstract In Poland, there are many 40-year records of suspended sedi­ ment transport. These records have been used to estimate the intensity of denudation processes over the territory of Poland. The denudation index, expressed in t km’2 year’1, was calculated for many river basins, using data from 50 river gauging stations. The results are presented in the form of maps of denudation rates over the territory of Poland for four decades during the period 1951-1990. INTRODUCTION One of the first studies of the intensity of denudation processes in the Vistula river basin was carried out by Jarocki (1957). Based on hydrological measurements at the Tczew gauge during the period 1946-1953, he concluded that the average value of the denuda­ tion index (i.e. total sediment yield/river basin area) was 81 km’2 year’1. The first maps of the spatial differentiation of the denudation index across Poland were produced indirectly, by using a map of potential soil erosion published by Reniger (1959). Two versions of such maps were produced using this approach by Dçbski (1959) and Skibinski (1959). The results of Skibinski’s investigation, which dealt only with suspended sediment, in contrast to Dçbski’s investigation which also included bed load, showed considerable spatial differentiation of the denudation index, particularly in the zone of the south Polish uplands, with values ranging from ca 10 to 160 t km"2 year’1.
