I believe that science in general may help us in approaching the truth in our lives. Also I believe in the dissemination of scientific results in a controlled, broad and open access way to the public. Our Alps-Adria workshop series provides a forum for scientific experts in the field of agricultural and environmental sciences. The workshop is one of the most ambitious agricultural forums of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It has a mission to disseminate novel research results in favour of improving our world. The organizers would say thanks to the participants and the partners of the past workshops, and also welcome the current reader who may feel the benefits of our proposal. We do hope that they may become future partners or participants as well. Márton Jolánkai Professor WORKSHOP PROPOSAL CONTENT OUR STORY ...

This cooperation offers an opportunity for the career starter generation, PhD students and young researchers to enter the international scene, to learn how to make a poster, to deliver a presentation in English language, to publish pieces of work and to create relationship with others. 4 ABOUT US ...OUR SO FAR STORY That was the time, year 2002, when the Alps-Adria conference was first organised by the scientific committees of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS). The first one was - if only to respect tradition - organised in Opatija, and then the venue of the event was gradually moved around the region: the second one was organised in Trogir, the third one in Dubrovnik, the fourth one in Portorož in Slovenia and then the next one back in Opatija. In year 2007 the conference was organised in Obervellach in Austria, to be followed by one in Stará Lesná in the High Tatras in 2008. The eighth was hosted by Neum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The next conference was held in Špičák, a mountainous resort place in the Czech Republic. The tenth anniversary of the conference series was celebrated in Opatija in 2011. The conference series moved then to Smolenice in Slovakia. The 12th workshop was a peculiar event providing various locations in Croatia and in Italy since soil fertility was the main topic with an outlook on karst formation. The venue of the next conference was in Villach Ossiacher See, Austria. The fourteenth meeting was organised in Neum, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 15th Jubilee workshop was held on the island of Losinj, a marvellous and unique spot in the Adriatic Sea. The sixteenth workshop was in Opatija, Croatia and the 17th Scientific Workshop was in Hnanice, Czechia. The 18th Alps-Adria Scientific Workshop organized in Cattolica - Rimini, Italy and now we would like to meet you in Wisla, Poland on the 19th Workshop between 26th April and 1st May, 2020.

It is recalled how – at the moment a Polish state first came into being in the 10th century – its western border also followed a course more or less coinciding with these same two rivers. In subsequent cen- turies, the political limits of the Polish and German spheres of influence shifted markedly to the east. However, as a result of the drastic reverse suffered by Nazi Germany, the western border of Poland was re-set at the Oder-Neisse Line. Consideration is given to both the causes and consequences of this far-reaching geopolitical decision taken at the Potsdam Conference by the victorious Three Powers of the USSR, UK and USA. Key words Oder-Neisse Line • western border of Poland • Potsdam Conference • international boundaries Introduction districts – one for each successor – brought the loss, at first periodically and then irrevo- At the end of the 10th century, the Western cably, of the whole of Silesia and of Western border of Poland coincided approximately Pomerania.

    WELCOME TO ČESKÝ T ĚŠÍN/CIESZYN - a one city in two countries Těšín lies at the edge of the Silesian Beskids on the banks of the Olza River, at an elevation of about 300m above sea level. The inhabitants of the original fortifies site belonged to the Lusatian culture. In the years from 1287 to 1653 Tesin was the capitl town of a principality under the rule of the Piast Dynasty (Mieszko I.) A “Religious Order” issued in 1568 confirmed the Evangelical religion of the Augsburg Confession in the town and principality. In 1610, the Counter-Reformation. In 1653 Tesin came under the rule of the Czech kings – the Habsburgs. After a great fire in 1789, the town was rebuilt. An industrial quarter arose on the left bank of the Olza River. In 1826, the Chamber of Tesin was established. At the time the objects on Chateau Hill were rebuilt. The revolutionary events of 1848 aggravated social and national problems. At the end of the First World War the Polish National Council of the Duchy of Tesin (Ducatus Tessinensis). In January 1919 – an attack by the Czech Army. In 1920 – Tesin Silesia as well as the town of Tesin was divided by a state border on the basis of a decision by the Council of Ambassadors in Paris. The western suburbs became an independent town called Český T ěšín. The tenement buildings and public facilities built after the year 1920 following the Art Nouveau are in perfect harmony with older edifices, such as the raiway station or the printing house (1806).

  • Numbers and Distribution
    Numbers and distribution The brown bear used to occur throughout the whole Europe. In the beginning of XIX century its range in Poland had already contracted and was limited to the Carpathians, the Białowieża Forest, the currently non-existent Łódzka Forest and to Kielce region (Jakubiec and Buchalczyk 1987). After World War I bears occurred only in the Eastern Carpathians. In the 1950’ the brown bears was found only in the Tatra Mountains and the Bieszczady Mountains and its population size was estimated at 10-14 individuals only (Buchalczyk 1980). In the following years a slow population increase was observed in the Polish Carpathians. Currently the brown bear’s range in Poland is limited to the Carpathians and stretches along the Polish-Slovak border. Occasional observations are made in the Sudetes where one migrating individual was recorded in the 1990’ (Jakubiec 1995). The total range of the brown bear in Poland is estimated at 5400-6500 km2. The area available for bears based on the predicative model for the habitat is much larger and may reach 68 700km2 (within which approx. 29000 km2 offers suitable breeding sites) (Fernández et al. 2012). Currently experts estimate the numbers of bears in Poland at merely 95 individuals. There are 3 main area of bear occurrence: 1. the Bieszczady Mountains, the Low Beskids, The Sącz Beskids and the Gorce Mountains, 2. the Tatra Mountains, 3. the Silesian Beskids and the Żywiec Beskids. It must be noted, however, that bears only breed in the Bieszczady Mountains, the Tatra Mountains and in the Żywiec Beskids. Poland is the north limit range of the Carpathian population (Swenson et al.

  • 18Th Century Vistula River Geography in View of Franciszek Florian Czaki’S Maps
    QUAESTIONES GEOGRAPHICAE 32(1) • 2013 18TH CENTURY VISTULA RIVER GEOGRAPHY IN VIEW OF FRANCISZEK FLORIAN CZAKI’S MAPS KRZYSZTOF STRZELECKI Institute of Geography and Regional Studies, Pomeranian University in Słupsk, Słupsk, Poland Manuscript received: April 24, 2012 Revised version: February 8, 2013 Krzysztof Strzelecki, 2013. 18th century Vistula river geography in view of Franciszek Florian Czaki’s maps. Quaestiones Geographicae 32(1), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 27–32. 3 figs. DOI 10.2478/qua- geo-2013-0004, ISSN 0137-477X. ABSTRACT. Old maps are proven to be very useful when it comes to solution of the modern research problems and are widely used in various science disciplines connected with specification of mutual relations between elements of the geographical environment. This fact stems from the increased consciousness of unique informa- tion recorded on old maps, which at their time constituted a basis for subsequent cartographical studies. The geographical characteristics of the Vistula river were depicted in a handwritten 12-sheet map made the first half of the 18th century by Franciszek Florian Czaki, a military cartographer. On the basis of his own terrain mapping, Franciszek Florian Czaki succeeded in creation of his work, which was intended to provide an example for the designed, detailed map of Poland, ordered by Józef Aleksander Jabłonowski, the Nowogród voivode, and later by the king Stanisław August Poniatowski. The map was fully based on terrain mapping, which included such details as: settlement, road and water networks, forests, land relief as well as main types of ownership: crown-, church-, and nobility-owned.

  • Synoptic Climatology of Fog in Selected Locations of Southern Poland (1966–2015) ISSN 2080-7686
    Bulletin of Geography. Physical Geography Series, No. 11 (2016): 5–15 http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/bgeo-2016-0010 Synoptic climatology of fog in selected locations of southern Poland (1966–2015) ISSN 2080-7686 Ewa Łupikasza, Tadeusz Niedźwiedź University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland Correspondence: Department of Climatology, University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. This paper investigates fog frequency in southern Poland in relation to various topography (concave and convex forms) and atmospheric circulation types. It also discusses long-term variability in the annual and seasonal number of days with fog. Daily information on fog occurrence was tak- en from three high quality synoptic stations representing various landforms: Kraków-Balice (bottom of the hollow), Katowice-Muchowiec (Silesian Upland) and Bielsko-Aleksandrowice (summit of Car- pathian Foothill). In the central part of southern Poland during the last 50 years (1966–2015) fog occurred on average during 53–67 days a year. The annual number of foggy days in Kraków (67 days) located in a structural basin was by 14–15 days higher than in Bielsko (53 days) situated in the Silesian Foothills. In the annual course, high fog occurrence (above 6 days per month) was ob- served from September to January, with the maximum in Kraków (10 days in October). At every sta- tion the monthly minimum of fog occurrence fell in July (2 days). In summer and spring the highest probability of fog occurrence was found on days with anticyclonic types and air advection from the northeastern (Na, NEa) and eastern (Ea, SEa) sectors.

  • The Selected Aspects of Strategic Management in the City Divided By
    2019 POLISH JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Vol.19 No.1 Dacko-Pikiewicz Z. THE SELECTED ASPECTS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT IN THE CITY DIVIDED BY THE BORDER IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CROSS-BORDER MARKET OF CULTURAL SERVICES Dacko-Pikiewicz Z. * Abstract: The article is of research nature. The analysis of strategic documents of the city of Cieszyn-Český Těšín divided by the state border, as well as individual in-depth interviews with the directors of all local government cultural institutions in this city allowed for the identification of opportunities for further development of the common Polish-Czech cross-border market of cultural services. The research conducted proves that despite the dynamically developing Polish-Czech cross-border cooperation in the field of culture, there are still no mentions in the strategic documents pointing directly to the need to intensify common Polish-Czech cultural activities, and thus indicating the need to develop the cross-border market of cultural services. Therefore, by following the interview results, actions in the area of strategic management were specified, which could significantly contribute to the so-called "blurring of the border" and the development of this market in the city of Cieszyn-Český Těšín. The recommendations may be useful not only for the authorities of the city of Cieszyn-Český Těšín, but also for decision-makers and cultural managers of other European cities in the Schengen area that are divided by the state border. Key words: city divided by the border, cross-border market of cultural services, development, strategic management, Cieszyn-Český Těšín DOI: 10.17512/pjms.2019.19.1.10 Article history: Received January 20, 2019; Revised March 12, 2019; Accepted March 20, 2019 Introduction The management of the city which has been divided by the state border is a complicated process, which requires interdisciplinary knowledge of many diverse issues, based, among others, on culture, economics, spatial management, environmental protection or different two independent states.

  • A Centennial of Dialectology in Poznań
    Gwary Dziś – vol. 13 – 2020, pp. 43–63 DOI 10.14746/gd.2020.13.3 ISSN 1898-9276 Jerzy Sierociuk Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań Institute of Polish Philology ORCID: 0000-0001-9069-6117; e-mail: [email protected] A centennial of dialectology in Poznań Abstract: This article presents the most relevant information on the history of dialectological research in Poznań and its context, the academic achievements of the Poznań University enjoyed in cooperation with the Poznań Society for the Advancement of Arts and Sciences. The two institutions have greatly contributed to the development of Polish studies including dialectology. The presented information pertains chiefly to the relatively unknown accomplishments of the dialectology team, for example a phonographic archive containing recordings of utterances of informants born in the second half of the 19th century (the oldest interlocutor was born in 1855). Together with contemporary recordings, the collection contains approximately 3,700 hours of rural speech. The entire archive is available in a digital version. The text is supplemented with information about the history of Poznań dialectology and the contemporary activities of the team of the Dialectology Workshop at the Poznań University, mainly lexicographic works. Key words: history of dialectology in Poznań, Polish studies at the AMU, Poznań Society for the Advancement of Arts and Sciences, lexicography of Wielkopolska dialects. Abstrakt: Sto lat dialektologii w Poznaniu. W artykule przedstawione są najważniejsze informacje dotyczące historii badań dialektologicznych w Poznaniu. Podano też istotne dane, szkicując kontekst tych działań – działalność naukowa Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego ściśle powiązana jest z Poznańskim To- wa rzystwem Przyjaciół Nauk. Te dwie instytucje naukowe mają wielkie zasługi w rozwoju studiów polonistycznych, a w tym dialektologii.

At that stage, human activity focused on finding and adapting sites that were suitable for permanent settlement and also on utilising the resources found in the valley and afforded by the river such as fishing and shipping opportunities. The shape of the River Little Vistula alluvial fan also allowed the construction of numerous canals branching from the river channel, on which mills, fulleries and sawmills were established. The characteristics of the landscape changes which have taken place in the study area have been presented on the basis of analyses of large-scale (1:28,800) topographic maps from the mid-18th and 19th centuries, modern topographic maps and also from visits to the study area (General-Mappa des Merzogthums Ober-Schleisien 1763–1764 and Übersicht der Militar Aufmahme von Mähren und Schlesien, 1839-1840). It was found that landscapes of the River Little Vistula alluvial fan are “landscapes of valleys and plains subject to water accumulation and floods”.
