Administrative, spatial and demographic changes in Székelyland since the Treaty of Trianon to the present day

Author(s): Tibor Elekes,Ferenc Szilágyi / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2020

This study analysed the characteristics of the spatial organisation, spatial structure and population processes of Székelyland after the Treaty of Trianon. The purpose of the administrative reorganisation after World War I was unification. Between 1950 and 1968, transformation took place mirroring the political-ideological view of the time, often at the expense of the territorial units and centres created as a result of centuries of spatial development. The most significant change in the spatial structure during the early 20th century was the industrialisation that occurred between 1950 and 1989. In Székelyland, a contradictory socio-economic process in relation to other regions of Romania, began after 1990. The impact was smaller than that of the processes that had taken place under Communism. The population growth characteristic of the 20th century was replaced by a steady decline after 1990–1992.The natural population decline of the last three decades and the vigorous transformation have resulted in population decline in the millions. The rate of population decline is the strongest among the young and physically active age groups.

Aerodynamiczne tłumienie drgań w obliczeniach stalowych wieź kratowych

Author(s): Marcin Skwarek,Jacek Hulimka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2014

Structural analysis of lightweight freestanding structures, such as steel lattice towers, mainly consists of determining the along-wind dynamic response of the vibrating structure. These vibrations are damped not only structurally but also by the aerodynamic forces. In the Polish design practice, aerodynamic damping concept was introduced together with the rules of Eurocode standards. With respect to the lattice towers, in many cases, these rules are inaccurate, therefore the paper contains some suggestions of authors.

AGING IN TURKEY

Author(s): Zafer Kiliç,Burak Kiliç / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

This study covers the services offered to the elderly, individuals who work in this field, statistical data on aging in Turkey, and similar issues. The data in this study was collected from the literature review and from written sources. In the literature, the concept of age is divided into two: biological and chronological. Although chronological age is the same in all humans, biological age varies according to individuals. Chronological age is the number of years a person has been alive. Biological age is the representation of the biological step as a unit of time. Aging is the state where individuals gradually lose their physical and psychological power. The increasingly elderly population has also caused the academic environment to focus on the field of older people. Moreover, the increasing elderly population has accelerated the process of developing national policies and plans in countries and the process of producing services in line with the developed plans and policies. According to the aging data of the United Nations, there is an increase in the number and proportion of elderly individuals in the world. As a result, in this case, Turkey does not differ, so the elderly population is increasing with each passing day.

AGING POPULATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION CAUSED BY THE IMPACT BIRTH VS DEATH

Author(s): Andreea Gabriela Zota / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

People from the European Union are living longer than before, as a result, population growth is slowing down, while population aging accelerates. Having this as a starting point, the purpose of the article is to investigate birth and death in parallel, in order to obtain a prediction on the number of live births and the crude death rate, for the upcoming decades. The method used was simple linear regression and it revealed a consistently decrease on both health indicators, reaching an almost equal value in 2035. Postponing childbirth until a women reaches the age of 30 and growing, consistent rise in the number of abortions among adolescent girls, diminution of the fertile population versus surging population over 65 years old, are all factors that explain the aging of the European population

Aktualność edukacji międzykulturowej w dobie współczesnych migracji

Author(s): Adriana Simoncelli / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 9/2019

Cel badań. Historia planety zawsze charakteryzowała się migracjami i ruchami ludności. Doprowadziło to do ciągłych kontaktów i interakcji między kulturami, ale dzisiaj bardziej niż kiedykolwiek, ludzie są ściśle połączeni związkiem współzależności. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie, jak istotna jest edukacja międzykulturowa oparta na wzajemnym dialogu i poszanowaniu praw człowieka.Metoda. Przedmiotem badań są migracje ludzkie wpisane w historię ludzkości od jej początków. Są więc one zjawiskiem jak najbardziej naturalnym budzącym jednak w czasach obecnych wiele kontrowersji. Stąd też przedstawienie ruchów migracyjnych na przestrzeni wieków, przeanalizowanie różnych możliwych postaw wobec innego w oparciu o literaturę przedmiotu jak i własne doświadczenia empiryczne na gruncie włoskim oraz wskazanie na konieczność wprowadzenia szeroko zakreślonej edukacji międzykulturowej stanowią o interdyscyplinarnym podejściu metodologicznym.Wyniki. Coraz bardziej liczebna obecność imigrantów w europejskich miastach determinuje konieczność codziennej konfrontacji z różnymi językami, religiami i kulturami. W takiej sytuacji jedynie dobrze przeprowadzona edukacja międzykulturowa może przynieść oczekiwane rezultaty stworzenia harmonijnie funkcjonujących społeczności multi-etnicznych, świadomych swego bogactwa kulturowego, a nie nacechowanych wrogością i brakiem zrozumienia.Wnioski. We współczesnych społeczeństwach, tak pełnych napięć i konfliktów, konieczne jest wychowanie w poszanowaniu inności, w dialogu i konfrontacji, aby ludzie zrozumieli, że wzajemne przenikanie się różnych kultur jest nośnikiem nowej wiedzy, nowych wartości i kompetencji, oraz że model naszej kultury nie jest ani jedynym, ani uniwersalnym, ani też jedynym właściwym.

Aktywność fizyczna jako element polityki zdrowotnej społeczeństwa konsumpcyjnego

Author(s): Władysław Pańczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Deriving from the U.S. economic reasons, trends in consumption in the face of postmodern globalization, generate a series of mass-unhealthy behaviors of human beings, also in Poland. Consumption is nowadays not only economics, but also meeting the wider spiritual needs, including cultural ones. Consumption is a common lifestyle, ideology and even religion, that is why one can notice unhealthy behaviors, such as permanent physical inactivity, isolation from nature, constrained sitting postures, excessive information stimulus, etc., that are becoming a social norm which badly affects health, and – because of its mass impact – is a civilizational threat. One can see the antidote to these negative influences on health in Europe and the world in the conscious physical exercise of modern men. Various forms of Leisure-tourism are to be an ideal compensation of civilizational threats. In Poland prevails low awareness of the health benefits that come from physical activity, as well as not very modern facilities and offers.

Author(s): Aneta Bołdyrew / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 47/2019

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to discuss in a synthetic way knowledge, opinions and attitude toward alcoholism as a problem of family and society in guides and social journalism in the Kingdom of Poland during the period of “entering modernity.” THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The main research problem can be formulated as follows: in what way alcoholism as a danger to family has been problematised in analysed literature? In connection with that more detailed problems can be taken into account: what kind of factors influenced on shift of opinions of alcoholism as a problem of family and society? Which environments were said to be in danger of this pathology? In what way the alcoholism problem was formulated in the context of current debates over general social issues? The methods of historical and pedagogues researches have been used, including philological method which is employed to analyse texts of historical sources. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: After introduction to the problems three isolated questions were presented. One of them is the picture of drinking as a social and moral problem in religious literature. The other are question of medicalisation of alcoholism, existing also in the context of considerations about family and, finally, the presence of alcoholism shown as the reason of family and society’s degeneration in sources. RESEARCH RESULTS: The way of presenting the alcoholism underwent crucial transfigurations. Discussion about alcoholism as a factor which threatened the family and the education of the young generation was a part of the polemics about many general questions like relationships between family and society, the role of religion and science in solving social problems, the role of the family in the conceptions of the polish statehood’s reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The analysis of statements concerning alcoholism as a danger to family can be helpful in further researches of the creating the picture of family and changes of its ethos on the threshold of independency.

An Agroforestry Consortium: A Multiderminant in Instituting an Agrisilviculture System to Improve Welfare

Author(s): Darma Surya,Maria Siti,Lestari Dirga,Darma Dio Caisar / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Indonesia as the largest forest owner has a huge potential in exploration. Before 1997, Indonesia had lost 91,924,300 ha of forest due to deforestation. The government bodies just planted a thousand trees with no supervision and follow-up, so most of them were damaged and did not meet expectations. This research is carried out descriptively and qualitatively. The study is informed by the secondary data from the research library and from the relevant Government Agencies. The concept of an agroforestry consortium was based on a multi determination governance as a function, academics, education, audio-visual training system, and organizational institutions, and management rights’ holders to implement forest transfers. Land rights are ensured by financial institutions and advocacy. The agroforestry consortium as a facility for farmers which will accommodate inputs in developing human resources, capital, and forest land, which will later be allocated to farmers. In post-production, farmers will provide instalments of credit and forest products for agroforestry consortia. Thus, the funds can be channelled to financial institutions and forest products to practitioners. The agroforestry consortium is expected to ensure the welfare of the inhabitants in East Kalimantan Province.

Author(s): Ion Marinica,Andreea Floriana Marinică / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

The paper highlights the emergence and rapid evolution in Oltenia of a Cumulonimbus cloud during a summer night, in anticyclonic regime and the disastrous consequences of the considerable amount of water resulting during the rain. “The disaster that swooped in the morning of 5.VI.2003 on the inhabitants of two neighbouring villages. Hundreds of households have been swept away by the rain caused by torrential rain. A cloud passed over the village of Ţîntăreni in Gorj, and above the village of Fratoștița, which belongs to Filiași, Dolj County, as if it had broken in two, letting the water flow over the village. The skies started down the valley, taking everything in their path - fences, stables, cattle, birds, horses, dogs. At 7.30 AM, the flood reached the commune of Tînțăreni, devastating hundreds of other households. The villagers say that the plague started at 4.00 AM in Fratoștița” (“Gazeta de Sud”). The paper is part of an extensive series of studies on the evolution of climate risk phenomena and climate change in Oltenia (Bogdan Octavia, Marinică I., Mic Loredana-Elena 2008, Bogdan Octavia & Marinică I. 2009, Bogdan Octavia, Marinică I ., Marinică Andreea Floriana 2010, 2017; Ion Marinică, Andreea Floriana Marinică, 2016).

An Unknown Census of the Population of Przemyśl from mid-1918

Author(s): Zdzisław Budzyński,Jolanta Kamińska-Kwak / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

The main source for this article is a population census carried out in Przemyśl in 1918, previously unused in any scientific research. Using a survey method, it encompassed single households; only some of the material exists to this day, a larger part stored in the Sanok Archive, and a smaller in the National Archive in Przemyśl. The census combined the elements of the earlier “State of Souls” (status animarum) in relation to households and the more modern type of Austrian survey to which new categories were added; its original form enables new methods for analyzing the local population of that area. The circumstances in which the census was carried out are unknown; we can assume that it was conducted by the local magistrate, due to food shortages and mass migration of the population (including the military) to the city. The surviving 1,163 cards enable us to pinpoint personal data from the respondents, such as sex, age, religion and nationality, place of birth and address, and in some cases social status and profession.

Analiza osiadania wybranych typów znaków osnowy geodezyjnej

Author(s): Łukasz Borowski,Agnieszka Lal,Krzysztof Nepelski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2017

The paper presents the studies of the possible causes of the excessive settlement of geodetic benchmarks. For the purpose of the study, two types of ground benchmarks (type 75a and b) were selected. The computational analysis was carried out on benchmarks situated in different soil conditions and under two variants of load. The parameters were modified in order to reach the interaction between the subsoil and the structure, which is the closest to the actual conditions. Obtained results were compared with the settlement noted in Kętrzyn district, during heights frame transformation from Kronsztadt’60 to Kronsztadt’86. As a result, possible change of heights of geodetic points between land surveying campaigns (circa 20 years) could be estimated.

Analiza antropologiczna materiału kostnego podjętego w czasie badań ratowniczych na Placu Słowiańskim w Krakowie (sezon 2017)

Author(s): Justyna Marchewka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2018

The aim of the anthropological analysis was to estimate the Minimal Number of Individuals (MNI) in the examined ossuary taken during the rescue work at Plac Słowiański (Krakow). In addition, an attempt was made to determine the biological profile of the deceased and determine from which church cemeteries located near Plac Słowiański they could have originated. MNI was established based on preserved right temporal bones and amounted to 51. The most numerous bones in the examined material were skull bones and larger bones of the post-cranial skeleton. A significantly smaller proportion of children’s bones was also noted. Both of these observations jump on the bone selection that was made during the transfer of the skeletons of the primary graves to the secondary grave. The results of the research did not allow for an unequivocal indication of the origin of the remains, although it is more likely that the ossuary was created as a result of the transfer of bodies from the cemetery of the st. Krzyż Church.
