The region is situated in the central and southern part of Poland, between six regions (Mazowieckie, Lubelskie, Podkarpacke, Malopolskie, Slaskie and Lódzkie) and Poland's largest cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Katowice and Łódź). Map 1. Map of Poland with Świętokrzyskie highlighted Of all 16 Polish voivodships, Świętokrzyskie is one of the smallest ones (11,710 km2, 3.7% of the country's total area). According to recent data, the region has a population of 1.291,600 (3.37% of the total population of Poland). At 110 people per km2, population density is lower than Poland’s average of 122 per km2 (the EU average is 112.2 per km2). In terms of administrative structures, the region (voivodship) is divided into 14 counties (poviats), including the town of Kielce as the seat of self-government of the Swietokrzyskie region, and 102 communities (gmina), the lowest level of local government structures. According to the national typology of rural communities (all areas outside urban areas are classified as rural), 72 communities are defined as rural, 25 as urban-rural and five as urban. Just 45.5% of the population of the region live in urban municipalities with a clear dominance of Kielce (16.4% of the total population of the region) as a growth centre. The dominance of the rural population is further emphasized by the structure of settlements. page 5 Public administration management at regional (voivodship) level is carried out through: • The central government level - The Voivod as a representative of the government at regional level is responsible for managing units of governmental administration operating at regional level. During the implementation of the Integrated Regional Operational Programme (IROP), the Voivod office acted as Intermediate body. • Regional self-government structures – The Marshal is head of regional local government, elected by regional counsellors elected in the regional elections. His or her tasks are focused on the overall management of regional

Because of exceptional features of animate and inanimate nature, large parts of the province are covered by various forms of nature protection. There is 1 national park (NP), 72 nature reserves (NRs), 9 landscape parks, 21 protected landscape areas and 40 Natura 2000 sites within the administrative borders of the province. The most unique natural features are found in the Świętokrzyski National Park (ŚNP), but the largest surface of the province is covered by protected landscape areas. Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship is the first in Poland in terms of the share of protected areas (as much as 65.2%), strongly outdistancing other Voivodeships. Small natural objects are much more numerous than large protected areas. At present, the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship has 705 natural monuments (NMs), 114 ecological sites (ESs), 20 documentation sites (DSs) and 17 nature and landscape complexes (NLCs). Moreover, new protected areas and sites may still be established within its borders. © IOŚ-PIB 1. INTRODUCTION [Polish Journal of Laws 2004, no.

A new Middle Devonian (Givetian) psammosteid (Vertebrata: Heterostraci) from Poland. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 90: 75 – 93. Abstract: A new genus and species of psammosteid heterostracan, Psarkosteus mediocris gen. et sp. nov., is de- scribed from the Middle Devonian (Givetian) of the Skały Formation, the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland. The dor- sal plate of Psarkosteus is constricted in its anterior part and the postorbital plate is long and narrow. Both features, along with the morphology and variety of tubercles, distinguish it from other representatives of the group. Most distinctive are big, teardrop-shaped tubercles, each with a flat or slightly concave surface and with its tip directed posteriorly, and a crenulated base, located along the branchial plates. The lateral line system in Psarkosteus is similar to that of Drepanaspis gemuendenensis and confirms earlier reconstructions. Key words: Pteraspidomorphi, Heterostraci, Psammosteidae, Middle Devonian, Holy Cross Mountains. Manuscript received 19 February, 2020 accepted 1 June 2020 INTRODUCTION The fossil record of the Heterostraci is poor in Poland, 2017; Glinskiy, 2018). The main problem is concerned although fossils are known from Upper Silurian, Lower with their relationships within the Pteraspidiformes. The and Middle Devonian deposits.

Do oceny przeprowadzonej w 45 obiektach turystycznych reprezentujących gminy zastosowano autorski system punktacji, uwzględniając 7 aspektów i 21 podkategorii promocyjnych. Pozwolił on na obiektywną ocenę działań w zakresie promocji turystyki w jednostkach administracyjnych. Wyniki oceny syntetycznej wskazują, że najwyższą liczbę punktów, poza gminą Kielce, uzyskała gmina Chęciny, która posiada utrwaloną tradycję promowania turystyki i ma w tym zakresie duże osiągnięcia. Stwierdzono również wysoką pozycję gmin Nowa Słupia i Bodzentyn, co wynika z położenia na ich obszarze atrakcji krajoznawczych o znaczeniu krajowym. Z kolei gminy miejsko-wiejskie ustanowione w ostatnich latach w prezentowanej ocenie uzyskały najniższą punktację, co może być efektem małych doświadczeń w podejmowaniu profesjonalnych działań promocyjnych oraz skromniejszych możliwości finansowych.

  • Reflections on Atypical Burial Arrangements and Gender in Mierzanowice Culture Cemeteries

Sprawozdania Archeologiczne 71, SPRAWOZDANIA ARCHEOLOGICZNE 71, 2019 PL ISSN 0081-3834 DOI: 10.23858/SA71.2019.003 Mark Toussaint* THE DEAD Don’T BURY THEMSELVES: REFLECTIONS ON AtYPICAL BURIAL ARRANGEMENTS AND GENDER IN MIERZANOWICE CULTURE CEMETERIES ABSTRACT Toussaint M. 2019. The dead don’t bury themselves: reflections on atypical burial arrangements and gender in Mierzanowice culture cemeteries. Sprawozdania Archeologiczne 71, 65-88. Many archaeological and bioarchaeological studies of the past – and too many in the present day – have confined their investigations of gender to an assumed male/female, man/woman binary. Many Early Bronze Age cemeteries in Central Europe offer the possibility of going beyond the binary, thanks to their richly and complexly gendered burial practices. In this study, 12 burials from three Mierzanowice culture cemeteries in Poland are investigated bioarchaeologically. These burials are of particular interest because each one in its own way deviates from the typical manifestations of gender in the mortuary practices of this time. Questions are raised, and potential im- plications are discussed relating to conceptions of gender in these Early Bronze Age communities. Keywords: Mierzanowice culture, Early Bronze Age, atypical burials, gender, bioarchaeology, osteoar- chaeology Received: 05.08.2019; Revised: 25.09.2019; Accepted: 22.10.2019 INTRODUCTION The Early Bronze Age saw the standardization of certain aspects of burial arrange- ments and orientations within various spheres of cultural contact throughout much of Central Europe.

    THE TEMPLE ON THE COINS OF BAR KOKHBA – A MANIFESTATION OF LONGING… which is undoubtedly an expression of the rebels’ hope and goals, i.e. the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple, restoration of circumcision and regaining independence, is important. It is worth noting here, however, that perhaps we are not dealing here so much with a political programme, but rather with reconciliation with God and eternal salvation, which would link the revolt of Bar Kokhba with the ideology of the first revolt against the Romans and with the Hasmonean period.4 Equally important, or perhaps even more important, is the inscription referring to Jerusalem (on the coins from the first year of revolt), inseparably connected with Hadrian’s decision to transform the city into a Roman colony under the name Colonia Aelia Capitolina and probably also with the refusal to rebuild the Temple.5 As we are once again dealing here with a manifestation of one of the most important goals of Bar Kokhba and the insurgents – the liberation of Jerusalem and the restoration of worship on the Temple Mount. Even more eloquent is the inscription on coins minted in the third year of the revolt: Freedom of Jerusalem, indicating probably a gradual loss of hope of regaining the capital and chasing the Romans away. Many researchers believed that in the early period of the revolt, Jerusalem was conquered by rebels,6 which is unlikely but cannot be entirely excluded. There was even a hypothesis that Bar Kokhba rebuilt the Temple of Jerusalem, but he had to leave Jerusalem, which he could

    Przewodnik Turystyczny Morawica Cezary Jastrzębski, Grzegorz Szczęsny Projekt: Wydawnictwo Compass Przewodnik Turystyczny Morawica Cezary Jastrzębski, Grzegorz Szczęsny Zapraszamy do poznania Gminy Morawica Przed Państwem przewodnik po gminie Morawica. Pokazujemy w nim inne oblicze na- szego małego regionu. Morawica, dotychczas znana Państwu jako lider gospodarczy, ma także drugą twarz - turystyczną. O tym właśnie obliczu niniejsza książka opowiada. O za- bytkach i atrakcjach przyrodniczych, o kulturze, turystyce, a także o ludziach tutaj miesz- kających. Słowem wstępnym przekazujemy Państwu kilka informacji o naszej gminie. Gmina Morawica zajmuje powierzchnię 140 km2, od północy graniczy z miastem Kielce. Takie korzystne położenie wobec miasta wojewódzkiego, tras komunikacyjnych i dobra infrastruktura techniczna oraz promocja gminy przynoszą znakomite efekty w stara- niach o pozyskanie inwestycji krajowych i zagranicznych. Priorytetem dla gminy, obok rozwoju gospodarczego, jest także dalszy rozwój zorga- nizowanego budownictwa mieszkaniowego. Wprowadzono wiele nowych terenów budowlanych, co oznacza, że trwający proces napływu nowych mieszkańców będzie kontynuowany. Od roku 1990 przybyło w gminie ponad 4500 mieszkańców i na koniec października 2012 roku ich liczba wyniosła 14 818 osób. Przyciąga ich tutaj bardzo dobra infrastruktura techniczna i szeroki dostęp do usług oświatowych, sportowych i kultural- nych. Ambitne zadania wymagają wielu środków na ich realizację. Dzięki pozyskaniu fundu- szy z zewnątrz i wzrostowi liczby mieszkańców budżet gminy wzrósł w ostatnich la- tach trzykrotnie. Dzięki temu realizujemy zadania, tj. kryta pływalnia w Morawicy, peł- nowymiarowa hala sportowa w Bilczy, zalew retencyjno-rekreacyjny na rzece Morawka i rewitalizacja centrum Morawicy z budową rynku. Niemniej wciąż jeszcze wiele jest u nas cichych, spokojnych miejsc, wiele pięknych, dzie- wiczych krajobrazów i osobliwości przyrodniczych. W gminie Morawica Turysta znajdzie wytchnienie, może zwiedzać, poznawać, odkrywać.

  • The Importance of the Busko-Zdrój and Solec-Zdrój Spas for Tourist Accommodation in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship
    #0# EPT 4/2017 (40) | ISSN: 1644-0501 | www.wnus.edu.pl/ept | DOI: 10.18276/ept.2017.4.40-01 | 7–18 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BUSKO-ZDRÓJ AND SOLEC-ZDRÓJ SPAS FOR TOURIST ACCOMMODATION IN ŚWIĘTOKRZYSKIE VOIVODESHIP Tadeusz Ciupa,1 Roman Suligowski2 Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Institute of Geography 1 e-mail: [email protected] 2 e-mail: [email protected] JEL codes R10, Z30, Z32 Keywords spa towns, Busko county, state of tourist development indices, tourist traffic intensity indices Abstract The presented paper shows the results of a comparative analysis describing the state and occupancy rate of accommodation establishments in Busko county in 2000 and 2015, including the influence of Busko-Zdrój and Solec-Zdrój where two major spas are located. With the use of the data from the Central Statistical Office describing establishments that provide accommodation services, a number of indices characterizing tourist management (i.a. density of the accommodation establishments, Charvat’s, Baretje’s and Defert’s indices) and tourist traffic (Schneider’s and Defert’s) were calculated. The analysis of the indices values obtained has shown that Busko county can be classified as well-developed touristically in comparison to other counties in the voivodeship, and even in Poland. It has been proved that the two dynamically functioning spas contribute significantly to such an assessment. Introduction In recent years, it is noticeable that spas are developing intensively and that their role on the market of tourist services is increasing (Góra, 2013; Panasiuk, 2013; Wójcikowski, 2013). The re- search carried out by Kapczyński and Szromek (2008), based on the Butler’s model (1980), has shown that two life cycles can be identified in the development of Polish spas in the period 1949– 2006.

Wszystkie informacje o danej pracy, które nie pochodzą bezpośrednio z publikacji czyli z jej strony tytułowej, redakcyjnej, spisu treści lub są domyślne, np. określenie ilości nienumerowanych stron, zostały ujęte w nawiasy kwadratowe. Kwestia daty wydania, ze względu na swoją wagę, jest potraktowana szczególnie.
