The original village of Górka is what has been preserved now in the western part of the town of Sobótka in Lower Silesia Region – 1.5 km south of Sobótka and 38 km from Wrocław. The town is located in the Ślęża Landscape Park at the foot of the north slope of the Ślęża Mountain, whose conical shape reaching 718 m above sea level, contrasts with the plains around it. The monastery was located here on a flat and narrow strip of land formed on the north slope of the Ślęża Mountain at 223–225 above sea level (Fig. 1). At present the complex is a part of the residential and park buildings. Apart from the building in the park (Fig. 2) there are Fig. 2. Location of the residence in Górka, by the author acc.

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.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II TO THE SISTERS SERVANTS OF MARY IMMACULATE AND VARIOUS ITALIAN PILGRIM GROUPS Saturday, 10 June 2000 Dear Brothers and Sisters! 1. I am pleased to be able to meet you this morning, the vigil of Pentecost. You come on pilgrimage from various localities to celebrate your Jubilee in Rome. Your presence in the Eternal City, where St Peter and St Paul bore their courageous witness to Christ by martyrdom, gives you the opportunity to reflect on our common Christian commitment.
