One of the ways to achieve this aim is an application of the concept of ecologistics. While waste constitutes one of the main elements of ecologistics, it poses the most serious threat to the natural environment. The state’s ecologic policy for the years of 2002–2010 was a document to support the activities of communes aimed at environmental protection. Long-term objectives are to be realized within the framework of the Strategy of the Sustainable Development of Poland by the Year 2025. In this article, an attempt was undertaken of a critical interpretation of American and European views in this area. The possibilities of the optimization and polyoptimization of the behaviors of individual and group inhabitants in the context of logistics chains modelling were highlighted.

Partyzantów 27, 76-200 Słupsk, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The subject of this paper was analysis of the sort of accommodation base structure in Rowy with the evaluation of the dynamism of quantity changes in the scope of available accommodation base in the period 2001-2011. In addition the characteristics of selected features of tourist traffic in this place was carried out based on performed field research. Key words: Rowy, accommodation base, tourist traffic, tourist function INTRODUCTION Coasts are the main receptive areas of tourism both on the domestic and global level. It results from their seaside location and climate conditions which are the basis of development of recreational tourism (Agarwal and Shaw 2007, Hall and Page 2006, Matczak 2005, Szwichtenberg 2006, Rydz 2006, 2011, Parzych 2009). In connec- tion with the transformation of the economy in the nineties of the 20 th century im- portant changes in seaside towns of the Polish Baltic coast took place.

  • Land As a Primary Factor in Determining the Value of Agricultural Output in the Farms of Middle Pomerania
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU SZCZECIŃSKIEGO nr 804 Finanse, Rynki Finansowe, Ubezpieczenia nr 67 (2014) s. 373–384 Land as a Primary Factor in determining the value of agricultural output in the Farms of Middle Pomerania danuta zawadzka, agnieszka Strzelecka* abstract: The primary objective of the study is to determine the significance of land for agricultural output value generated by the farms of Middle Pomerania. Empirical verification of the factors determining the val- ue of agricultural output in the region of Middle Pomerania was conducted using logistic regression model. The study used data on 933 farms. It was found that four independent variables had a statistically significant positive impact on the phenomenon: the number of employees on farms, agricultural area, specialization in animal production and the amount of the production volume which was intended for official sale. In contrast, specialization in the production of crops had a statistically significant negative effect on the analyzed prob- ability. Furthermore, it has been shown that a model containing only the variable of agricultural land used in the production process was characterized by the values of statistics (LR, AIC, AUC, McFadden’s R2) which indicate a better fit to the observed data than the model containing only the other variables included in the analysis. This demonstrates the importance of land in the process of creating the value of agricultural output on farms. The best model was obtained when all the (statistically significant) variables that have been adopted for the study were taken into account. Keywords: value of agricultural output, production factors, farms, Middle Pomerania Region, logistic re- gression Introduction Land, next to labor and capital, is one of the basic factors of agricultural production.

    STREDOVˇ EKÁˇ MISKOVITÁ (LOTOVÁ) ZÁVAŽÍ V CESKÝCHˇ A MORAVSKÝCH NÁLEZECH MEDIEVAL CUP NESTED WEIGHTS IN BOHEMIAN AND MORAVIAN FINDINGS Jiríˇ Doležel Abstract Cup nested weights found their use in medieval Europe especially within the diffusion of advanced material culture of municipal communities. Within the primary registration of findings from Czech lands, a set of altogether 13 nested weights from 11 locations (Pic. 2-7, 10) was collected for more detailed assessment. Without exception, it is dealing with typical specimens of oldest finding horizon of the second half of 13th and the first half of 14th century: they are cast of bronze without additional turning, they are of massive lower conical shape, with simple closing mechanisms of cases. Characteristic decorations with hallmarked circular motifs on rims or closing caps correspond to the decor of period folding balances. Possible additional adjustment was realized by means of adding of various materials (metal, cement) inside the weight. Most frequently, these weights can be found in urban environment (8 pieces: Brno, Gruna, Jihlava, Olomouc, Praha, Staré Mýto, Uherské Hradištˇe, Vícov), further in mining precincts (4 pieces: Štˇepánov and probably Písek) or in castles (1 piece: Boskovice). More advanced categories of nested weights of Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Times appeared in Bohemia and Moravia in the course of 15th century, that were ma- nufactured without any significant changes for several subsequent centuries (casting of brass and finishing with lathe, sober decoration of circular grooves: Most, Mstˇenice, Praha, Sezimovo Ústí, Tábor). The weight of the weights under consideration (tab. 2) indicates their origin in 13th and beginning of 14th century, as they represent above all medium-heavy marks that were close to classic “Prague” mark–e.g.

  • The Boar in the Symbolic and Religious System of Baltic Slavs in the Early
    Th e Boar in the symbolic and religious system of Baltic Slavs in the Early Middle Ages Kamil Kajkowski Th e starting point for the title problem is the passus in Th ietmar’s of Merseburg Chron- icle related to Abodrit’s sedes idolatriae in Retra/Radogošč. Th is is one of the really few re- corded myths associated with the symbolic perception of reality by the Baltic Slavs or the western Slavs in general. Th is myth, i.a. certifi es a supernatural perception of the wild boar as an animal associated with the chthonic world (underworld). However, it seems that his role could be seen in a larger perspective. On the basis of written, archaeological and linguistic sources there was made an attempt to clarify the role of the wild boar in the pre-Christian belief system of the North-Western Slavs. Th e main questions that the author set himself in the analysis of available resources are: 1. what was the role of wild boar in the mediation with the supernatural world, 2. can we treat him as an animal with sacred connotations, 3. with which of the Slavic gods can he be related, 4. whether and to what extent the wild boar can be perceived as an animal with protective powers, or last but not least 5. did he play any role in the funeral rites and visions of world beyond? Keywords: Slavonic mythology, pagan beliefs, animal symbolism, wild boar. Th e importance of animals in the symbolic and religious system of Western Slavs of the early Middle Ages is a subject seldom discussed in the literature.

  • Distribution and the Role of Hydrobiidae on the Middle Pomeranian (Darłowo-Władysławowo)
    Distribution and the roleBaltic of Hydrobiidae Coastal Zone on the Middle Pomeranian 15 No. 10 Institute of Biology and Environmental Protection (15-30) Pomeranian Pedagogical University 2006 Słupsk DISTRIBUTION AND THE ROLE OF HYDROBIIDAE ON THE MIDDLE POMERANIAN (DARŁOWO-WŁADYSŁAWOWO) Krystian Obolewski, Zbigniew Piesik Department of Ecology and Protection of the Sea, Pomeranian Pedagogical University, ul. Arciszewskiego 22b, 76-200 Słupsk, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A population of Hydrobia sp. ( Hydrobia ulvae Pennant and Hydrobia ventrosa Montagu) was stud- ied in the Polish coastal zone (up to 3 nautical miles) of the Baltic Sea within the open coast of Polish Middle Pomerania. Abundance, wet biomass, and the frequency of Hydrobia were deter- mined in the coastal waters, including estuaries of the Wieprza, Słupia, Łupawa, Łeba rivers and open coastal in the vicinity of Czołpino (Słowi ński National Park) and Władysławowo. The fre- quency (F) of Hydrobia in the open coast of the Middle Pomerania amounted to 39%, while in the coastal zone of the open sea (Czołpino and Władysławowo) there were no snails. The abundance of Hydrobiidae , in the coastal zone surveyed, ranged from 0 to 398 specimens per m -2 of the bot- –2 -2 tom ( x = 33.7 spec. m ). Wet biomass of this bivalve ranged from 0 to 12.0 g ww m ( x = 1.0 g ww m-2). Apparently Hydrobia sp . has found better conditions for living and development in the estu- ary Middle Pomerania coast compared to open coastal. The abundance of this gastropods in the es- tuary zone was 27-fold higher than in the open coast and the wet weight was about 1.5-fold higher, respectively.
