  • B/ORDER in MOTION: the German-Polish Border from the System Transformation Until the Present-Day European Integration
    B/ORDER IN MOTION: The German-Polish Border from the System Transformation until the Present-Day European Integration Dagmara Jajeśniak-Quast Abstract The objective of this paper is to use the theoretical approach of B/ORDERS IN MOTION to analyze and understand the German-Polish border region from the period of systemic transformation to EU integration. The notions of durability, permeability and liminality serve perfectly as a conceptual prism to investigate this border region in motion. Following this concept, we can recognize three border regimes involving processes of demarcation (durability), overcoming (permeability) and creation of border zones (liminality) in the brief history of the German-Polish border. From the False Start of EU-Integration to the Boundless Common Space Transnational cooperation on the German-Polish border within the framework of the European Union (EU) is still in its initial development phase, due to both the relatively short-term existence of the current relationship between Poland and Germany and the systemic transformation that both regions have just lived through. Furthermore, although Poland joined the EU officially in 2004, full Polish membership did not start until May 1, 2011, when Poland finally received all the fundamental rights of the European community without restrictions. This “delay” in the legal agreement has negatively influenced the economy on the German-Polish border and cross-border cooperation. The strongest qualitative transformation of the German-Polish border at this stage, however, is that the border has disappeared. In spite of this “delay,” German-Polish cross-border projects are conducted with a lot of enthusiasm and engagement. In contrast to the established western border regions, the sense of a new beginning is still felt in the East.

  • Environment Protection Engineering APPLICATION of the MAXIMA DISTRIBUTION to the EVALUATION of the VARIABILITY of FLOOD RISKS I
    Environment Protection Engineering Vol. 45 2019 No. 2 DOI: 10.5277/epe190209 ŁUKASZ SZAŁATA1, ŁUKASZ KUŹMIŃSKI2, JERZY ZWOŹDZIAK3 APPLICATION OF THE MAXIMA DISTRIBUTION TO THE EVALUATION OF THE VARIABILITY OF FLOOD RISKS IN THE ODRA RIVER BASIN ON THE BASIS OF QUARTERLY MAXIMA OF DAILY WATER LEVELS The method of assessing the flood risk variability has been presented based on maximum value distributions. Hydrological data were used in the form of daily water levels for the period 1981–2013. The collected data originate from the Malczyce Hydrological Station on the 300th km of the Odra River. To assess the risk of flooding based on the collected data quarterly highs were selected. As a measure of flood risk, the authors suggested the probability of exceeding the emergency level in the studied section of the river. This risk was calculated using the theoretical distribution function of the quarterly heights of the water level. The study used the Gumbel distribution. A special attention was paid to the possibility of using the presented solutions for an integrated flood risk management process in accordance with applicable national and European legislation. 1. INTRODUCTION For several years, we have witnessed catastrophic floods destroying Europe and, consequently, Poland. They contribute to social, economic and cultural losses. Long- -term forecasts force the authorities of the EU countries to prepare for the strengthening of these phenomena. In response to this question, the European Union took a number of measures to prepare the member states to combat floods. Given this, preventive measures that are economically and socially justified have been transposed into EU legislation in the field of water management [1] and the Flood Risk Management Directive [2].
