Passive seismic experiment ‘AniMaLS’ in the Polish Sudetes (NE Variscides) Monika Bociarska1, Julia Rewers1, Dariusz Wójcik1, Weronika Materkowska1, Piotr Środa1 and AniMaLS Working Group* 5 1Department of Seismic Lithospheric Research, Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Sciences, Warszawa, 01-452, Poland *A full list of authors and their affiliations appears at the end of the paper. Correspondence to: Monika Bociarska ([email protected]) Abstract. The paper presents information about the seismic experiment AniMaLS which aims to provide a new insight into 10 the crustal and upper mantle structure beneath the Polish Sudetes (NE margin of the Variscan orogen). The seismic array composed of 23 temporary broadband stations was operating continuously for ~2 years (October 2017 and October 2019). The dataset was complemented by records from 8 permanent stations located in the study area and in the vicinity. The stations were deployed with inter-station spacing of approximately 25-30 km. As a result, good quality recordings of local, regional and teleseismic events were obtained. We describe the aims and motivation of the project, the stations deployment 15 procedure, as well as the characteristics of the temporary seismic array and of the permanent stations. Furthermore, this paper includes a description of important issues like: data transmission set-up, status monitoring systems, data quality control, near-surface geological structure beneath stations and related site effects etc. Special attention was paid to verification of correct orientation of the sensors. -

The author at- tempts to carry out another review of the so far accomplished effects resulting from this co- operation and to present their assessment. In the final part of the paper the directions for the improvement of this cooperation and the conclusions regarding the stimulation of cross- border cooperation in this part of Europe were suggested. Keywords: cross-border cooperation, European regions NUTS 2, bilateral relations between Lower Silesia and Saxony. 1. The concept of cross-border cooperation and other theoretical aspects of the problem The concept of cross-border cooperation is relatively clear in professional literature. The European Union distinguishes three basic forms of cooperation [Praktyczny podręcznik... 2000, p. 12]: – cross-border cooperation, – interregional cooperation, – transnational cooperation often referred to in other sources as international. In practice, there are also used such terms as: along-the-border cooperation, Euro-regional cooperation, or cooperation of the, so called, partner entities and even intraregional cooperation [Sztando 2010, pp. -

INITIATIVE FOR COAL REGIONS IN TRANSITION SILESIA, POLAND - REGIONAL PROFILE 2 Overview Silesia is the most populated and urbanised region in Poland with over 4.5 million inhabitants. 78% of its population live in cities and its population density is 370 people/km2. The region comprises of eight NUTS-3 subregions, out of which six are notably affected by coal mining and related industries. The communities where the majority of the miners live are located in central and western subregions - namely Katowicki subregion, Bytomski subregion, Gliwicki subregion, Rybnicki subregion, Sosnowiecki subregion, and Tyski subregion. Silesia is the most coal-dependent region in Poland with mining playing an important role in the regional economy. However, its gradual decline in recent years is also apparent as production is declining in view of falling productivity and low profitability. -

Creative Commons License Dances with Westerns in Poland’s Borderlands 1 Dances with Westerns in Poland’s Borderlands Piotr Skurowski 1 Parallel to other European countries, the American West has always stirred a great fascination in the Polish public. An important part of the Polish context which seems responsible for that fascination was the role played in Polish history by the eastern borderlands (Kresy) whose place in the Polish imaginary seems to parallel, in some important aspects, the mythmaking role played by the Wild West in America. The mythic appeal of the Kresy owes a lot to one of the key Polish mythmakers, the novelist Henryk Sienkiewicz whose famous Trilogy strongly defined the Polish imaginary concerning the history of the Kresy for generations to come. In Sienkiewicz’s mythic vision, the Ukrainian steppes constituted a scenic backdrop for a heroic struggle of the righteous and chivalric Poles against the invasions of barbarian hordes from the East, including the Cossacks, Turks and Tartars. -
Polish Witnesses to the Faith Speak About of Mary
ROCZNIKI TEOLOGICZNE Tom LXII, zeszyt 2 — 2015 KAZIMIERZ PEK MIC POLISH WITNESSES TO THE FAITH SPEAK ABOUT OF MARY POLISH WITNESSES TO THE FAITH SPEAK ABOUT OF MARY Abstract.Father P. Skarga and John Paul II no adopted the principle that every bio- graphy of a saint must mention his or her devotion to Mary. This “omission”of sorts was due to various reasons. Sometimes testimonies were missing, other times the biographers only wanted to highlight the central truthsof the Christian Mystery. They both spoke of Marian devotion in the contextof the whole of Christian witness, the whole Mystery of Christ. Their accounts indicate that the Polish saints discussed here represent many models of Marian devo- tion. Fr. Skarga and John Paul II pointed to various forms of Marian devotion of the Polish saints: from summoning of the Mother of the Lord to imitating her attitudes. In the light of these accounts, the hypothesis that there is one way in which the Polish saints lived their devotion to Mary is disproved. Key words: Piotr Skarga, Jan Paweł II, Polish mariology. To review the Polish cult of the Virgin Mary in a historical panorama seems to be a task of enormous size. What one can reasonably do then is to present a contribution to this extensive topic, limiting the discussion to a sin- gle source. One such special source are biographies of saints. To take a clear account of the time parameter, it is worth consulting two great promoters of testimonies of the saints and Marian devotion, Fr. Piotr Skarga (writings from the turn of the 16th/17th century) and John Paul II (communications from the last two decades of the twentieth century). -
The Journey of Benedictus Polonus Or a European Discovery of Asia Before Marco Polo
ACTA VIA SERICA Vol. 4, No. 2, December 2019: 79–95 doi:10.22679/avs.2019.4.2.004 The Journey of Benedictus Polonus or a European Discovery of Asia before Marco Polo RENATA CZEKALSKA This article presents a brief reconstruction of the historic journey of Benedict the Pole and John of Pian de Carpine, the first known Europeans after A.D. 900 who completed a successful return journey east of Baghdad and gave surviving accounts of their travels. The article, which focuses mainly on the role of Benedict the Pole, is divided into five parts: the reasons and organization of the deputation sent to the Mongols by Pope Innocent IV from 1245-1248, the route travelled by the Papal envoys, the existing versions of the two surviving accounts of the mission, the role of Benedict the Pole as the secretary and translator to the papal legate Pian de Carpine, and the outcome of the journey as seen from the perspective of Europe-Asia contacts. Keywords: 13th century Europe-Asia contacts, early Western accounts of Asia and the Mongol Empire, Benedictus Polonus, Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, European journeys to Asia before Marco Polo RENATA CZEKALSKA ([email protected]) is a professor at the Chair for East and South Asia, Institute of the Middle and Far East, Jagiellonian University, Poland. 80 Acta Via Serica, Vol. 4, No. 2, December 2019 Introduction Already during the initial period of the formation of Polish statehood (from ca. 960), in the areas located in the Vistula and Odra basins, there existed a network of European trade routes, leading from east to west and north to south.
