  • Stanislaviv in the Face of the Polish-Soviet War 1939 Polish Garrison – Soviet Garrison
    Open Military Studies 2020; 1: 70–78 Research Article Maciej Franz* Stanislaviv in the face of the Polish-Soviet War 1939 Polish Garrison – Soviet Garrison https://10.1515/openms-2020-0107 Received Oct 07, 2020; accepted Dec 11, 2020 Abstract: In 1921-1939 Stanyslaviv was one the bigger polish garrisons. The approach of the war the reason for leaving the town by polish troops. In September of 1939 the garrison in Stanyslaviv was rather small, consisting of small logistic units. Until now the historians have been interested in the face of this particular garrison in those few September days of 1939th. This is an attempt to showcase the most important events that happened while the polish troops were stationed in town and were still trying to provide peace and safety it and its people. Keywords: Polish troops, polish campaign, 1939, Second World War The Polish campaign of 1939, as the first episode of World War II, was not the same in all parts of Poland. For the inhabitants of Stanislaviv and a significant part of the Stanislaviv Voivodeship, it did not turn out to be a war against the Third Reich, but Soviet aggression – it is another episode on the long list of Polish- Russian armed conflicts in history. For people who lived in the western, southern and northern provinces of the Second Polish Republic, the war immediately took on a normal appearance. Air raids by enemy planes began, as a result – bombing, and a few days later the front was changed. The symbols of those days were mass groups of soldiers moving through these territories, both Polish soldiers who had to defend their homeland and those Germans who sought to conquer the Polish state.

  • The Impact of Regional Eu Policy on the Subregion As an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE POLITECHNIKI POZNAŃSKIE J Nr 68 Organizacja i Zarządzanie 2016 Karolina OLEJNICZAK* THE IMPACT OF REGIONAL EU POLICY ON THE SUBREGION AS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM Reducing disproportions between the level of development of particular regions and an effort to control the regional development process have become the key challenges of EU regional policy. From the point of view of local development, which determines conditions for an enter- prise’s environment and the general social needs satisfied using local resources, it is specif- ically important to analyse particular subregions. In this thesis the author makes an attempt at approaching regional development from the point of view of activities undertaken within the scope of regional policies related to select- ed regional development factors. The author presents an analysis of selected programme documents as well as their im- pact on executing development policies. Furthermore, the author presents selected results of research conducted in local government units in the Leszno subregion in the context of pro- development activities undertaken at lower levels of public administration. Keywords: local government unit, development, competitiveness, subregion 1. INTRODUCTION The characteristic feature of modern-day development is its spatial diversity. Significant differences may be observed between particular EU regions. It should be noted that the diversity between the NUTS 3 level which in the case of Poland means the level of subregions (number of counties), is higher than between the NUTS 2 level, i.e. the level of provinces. Reducing the disproportion between the development levels of particular regions has become the priority of regional EU policy. The policy specifies that the development pace of the least wealthy regions should not be excessively slow.

  • Reclamation and Development of Geomechanically Transformed Land in the Konin-Turek Coal Basin
    POLISH JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE VOL. XLIX/2 2016 PL ISSN 0079-2985 DOI: 10.17951/pjss/2016.49.2.123 AGNIESZKA MOCEK-PŁÓCINIAK* RECLAMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF GEOMECHANICALLY TRANSFORMED LAND IN THE KONIN-TUREK COAL BASIN Received: 2016.09.05 Accepted: 2017.02.15 1Abstract. This overview article presents major forms of reclamation and development of external and internal spoil tips, which are formed during brown coal mining and from bottom ash dumped near open-pit mines and power stations. In the late 1970s, a new form of agricultural and forest recultivation was developed – the PAN model. According to the concept, crops and forest-forming plant species should be introduced to post-mining grounds immediately after the end of technical recultivation. Vegetation is a particularly reliable indicator of habitat properties and small changes taking place in nature undergoing recovery. Other bioindicators of the quality and health of new- ly formed soil include the biomass of microorganisms, their count, composition and enzymatic activity. In many countries the assessment of the influence of anthropogenic stress factors on the count of soil microorganisms has become one of key elements of obligatory inspection under environmental monitoring. In consequence of revitalisation of anthropogenically changed areas, biological life is restored within the period of at least 20–30 years. It is manifested by the develop- ment of microbial population and soil fauna. Keywords: reclamation, post-mining areas, enzymatic activity, microorganisms, vegetation INTRODUCTION Many minerals are acquired by means of open-pit or underground mining. It causes land transformation and permanent changes in the landscape. New convex forms known as external spoil tips appear in natural geomorphologi- cal systems.

We refer to the role of the tradition of engaging in seasonal migration as a force that helped invigorate the process and contribute to its sustainability even when, to different degrees and at different times, the process was interrupted by a shifting political, regulatory, and legal environment. Evidence in support of the role of tradition is provided, among other things, by the continuation of the seasonal flow of migrants from once border regions - which became internal regions following WWII, despite the fact that since the redrawing of the German-Polish border, proximity is no longer a factor encouraging repeated, short-term seasonal moves.
