Identification of the diversification of the unemployment rate of the NEETs in the voivodeships of Poland. Research problems: 1. What is the diversification of the percentage share among NEETs in the voivodeships of Poland?, 2. Which of the voivodeships of Poland have the highest, and the lowest percentage change of rate of NEETs. Territorial scope of the research: the 16 Voivodeships of Poland. Time scope of the research: 2016-2018. Methodics of the research: dynamic analysis, comparative analysis, statistical analysis, documentation analysis. INTRODUCTION The concept of NEET first appeared in Great Britain at the end of the 80’s of the 20th century and reflected an alternative way of classifying young people after introduction of the changes in the policy within the field of Jobseeker’s Allowance. Since then there has been a growing interest in the NEET group at the level of the EU policy and in nearly all the EU member countries definitions of the NEET were formulated. The necessity of greater concentration than ever before on the NEET group is linked with a new set of integrated guidelines concerning economic and employment policy suggested by the European Commission (EUROFOUND, 2011, pp.

Published: 5 August 2020 Abstract: The presence of greenery in the space of historic markets was conditioned depending on the historical era: function, aesthetics or ecological needs of the city. The purpose of the work is to show the contemporary functions of greenery in the space of historic markets in the context of conditions for sustainable development (ecological, social, economic and ethical) and their relationship to the latest conservation doctrines (document from Nara—1994, Cracow Card—2000, orthodox creation). The paper analyzed 52 cases of town and city markets in the Podlaskie Voivodeship (Poland), which allowed conclusions to be drawn regarding the treatment of greenery in public spaces of markets. The results of the work may be helpful in the process of designing and modernizing the markets in the Podlaskie Voivodeship and in Poland, and more widely used for further research on the use of greenery in public space and assessing the effects of its presence. Keywords: market square; sustainable development; greenery; revaluation; Cracow Charter 2000 1. Introduction Historical market squares are often the main public spaces in cities, especially small ones. Markets constitute their significant cultural value of these centers, testify to their identity.

  • Commemorative Efforts Outside of Those at Former Camp Complexes
    Meredith Shaw Department of Central, Eastern and Northern European Studies University of British Columbia Commemorative Efforts Outside of those at Former Camp Complexes: Northeast Poland’s “Non-Lieux” and “Lieux de Memoire”´ Between 26 and 27 August 1941, 1,400 Jews from Tykocin were shot in a nearby forest by occupying German forces.1 On 12 July, 1941, 3,000 Jewish men were killed by the occupying German forces at Białystok’s “Pietrasze, a field outside the town.”2 Two days before that, Jewish residents of the town of Jedwabne had been burned to death in a local barn as part of a pogrom.3 Those killings, and 1 “Tykocin,” The YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe, accessed 26 June 2015, http://www.yivoencyclopedia.org/article.aspx/Tykocin). 2 “We Remember Jewish Białystok,” last modified 9 August 2015, accessed 26 June 2015, http://www.zchor.org/bialystok/bialystok.htm. 3 S.

Gross’s Neighbors around the Jedwabne pogrom, the number of Jewish people killed on the 10 July 1941 is particularly controversial. Estimates range from 300 or 400 people (the number of bodies found in the IPN’s “partial exhumation of 2001”) to the 1,600 people indicated in the “account of the Jedwabne massacre [...] deposited by Szmul Wasersztein with the Białystok Voivodeship Jew- ish Historical Commission in April 1945” and used by Gross in Neighbors.

The "Potsdam" set sail on April 1, 1905 from the port of Rotterdam - the Netherlands, then, after entering the French port of Boulogne-sur-Mer, went to New York, where, after 11 days of sea voyage, it arrived on April 12, 1905. 1 We present another working material prepared as part of the project "The fate of Łomża emigrants in the sources of the years 1900-1950 ..." implemented by ŁTN im. Wagów( Lomzha - Łomża Scientific Society named after the Waga family), financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education from the "Dialog" program. The prepared material shows the scale of emigration of the inhabitants of the Łomża region to the United States before World War I. The list was compiled using the internet search engine of the American Family Immigration History Center (AFIHC) - Center for the history of American family immigration, belonging to The Statue of Liberty - Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. (Page 1) In January 1905, when the twenty-sixth president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, after the resignation of lawyer William Williams, the former Commissioner for Immigration, appointed 47-year-old Robert Watchorn to this position, in the area of Kolno, Łomża and other towns of the former Łomża governorate, another group of daredevils was making the decision to go overseas.

  • Deadly Tornadoes in Poland from 1820 to 2015
    APRIL 2017 T A S Z A R E K A N D G R O M A D Z K I 1221 Deadly Tornadoes in Poland from 1820 to 2015 MATEUSZ TASZAREK Department of Climatology, Institute of Physical Geography and Environmental Planning, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, and Skywarn Poland, Warsaw, Poland JAKUB GROMADZKI Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland (Manuscript received 14 April 2016, in final form 9 October 2016) ABSTRACT Using historical sources derived from 12 Polish digital libraries, an investigation into killer tornado events was carried out. Although some of the cases took place more than 150 years ago, it was still possible to identify tornado phenomena and the course of events. This study has shown that historical sources contain dozens of tornado reports, sometimes with information precise enough to reconstruct the tornado damage paths. In total, 26 newly identified deadly tornado cases were derived from the historical sources and the information on 11 currently known was expanded. An average of 1–2 killer tornadoes with 5 fatalities may be depicted for each decade and this rate is decreasing over time. It was estimated that 5%–10% of significant tornadoes in Poland have caused fatalities and the average number of fatalities per significant tornado was roughly 0.27. Most of the cases were reported in late July and early August. The majority of deaths and injuries were associated with victims being lifted or crushed by buildings (usually a wooden barn). Most of these cases took place in rural areas but some tornadoes hit urban areas, causing a higher number of fatalities.

  • Ethnic Diversity and Social Capital of the Podlaskie Voivodeship1
    OPTIMUM. ECONOMIC STUDIES NR 4 (98) 2019 Łukasz Karol BUGOWSKI, PhD Faculty of Economics and Finance, University of Bialystok e-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-8347-0723 DOI: 10.15290/oes.2019.04.98.06 ETHNIC DIVERSITY AND SOCIAL CAPITAL OF THE PODLASKIE VOIVODESHIP1 Summary Purpose – An assessment of the level of social capital in the context of ethnic diversity using the example of the Podlaskie voivodeship. Furthermore, showing the relationship between social capital and local and regional development. Research method – Quantitative and comparative analyses of selected indicators of the surveyed terri- torial units (powiats of the Podlaskie Voivodeship) while maintaining the criterion of ethnic diversity. Data from the Central Statistical Office (Local Data Bank) and the National Electoral Commission for the period 2010-2018 were used. Results – The level of social capital is higher in multi-ethnic powiats, in particular as far as the civic dimension is concerned, which is measured by the use of passive and active voting rights. Similarly, the number of foundations, associations and social organizations per 1,000 inhabitants is higher in multi- ethnic powiats. As far as the level of entrepreneurship is concerned, the majority of powiats of diversi- fied nationalities is insignificant, while single-nation powiats have higher rates in relation to member- ship in sports clubs. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – A thesis which is popular in the subject literature that ethnically diverse areas are characterized by lower social capital is not true in the case of the Podlaskie voivodeship, in which ethnic groups have been present for centuries.

A case study of Podlaskie Voivodeship Abstract The natural environment, as a source of natural resources, has long been Anna Dąbrowska perceived as being a factor in determining the development of many states and regions, especially less developed areas. The main research question in this article is what role is played by natural resources and traditional industry sectors based on natural resources (milk production Department of Local Development and Policy, and tourism), in the process of establishing a competitive advantage for Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies, Podlaskie Voivodeship, which is one of the less developed regions in University of Warsaw, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Poland. The results of the research reveal weaknesses that are inherent in earlier ways of thinking about these industries and, at the same time, emphasise the importance of making use of natural resources in an integrated way and combining them with new technologies.

Poland's accession to the European Union contributed to the infrastructure development of the whole country. One of the elements of the modernized infrastructure is the sewage network and facilities on this network, as well as facilities for waste water treatment and disposal of sludge. A wide stream of funds flowing to the country, and consequently also to the north-eastern polish voivodeships (Podlaskie, Warmian- Masurian, Lublin), allowed modernization, organize, and sometimes to build a new sewage management of this part of the country. The main factors and parameters that allow us to evaluate the development of the sewage management in north-eastern Poland are included: percentage of population using sewage treatment plants, number of municipal sewage plants with the division of their type, number of industrial plants, number of septic tanks, amount of sewage purified in a year, amount of sludge produced in the year, design capacity of sewage treatment plant, size of plant in population equivalent (PE). From a number of investments in the field of wastewater management carried out in the discussed area in the period after Poland's accession to the European Union, 9 investments were considered the most important, 3 from each of the voivodeships.
