Spatial conflicts betweem modernizations of railway lines and natural values A case study of Poznań - Szczecin railway line

2017

One of the most intensive processes in the development of Polish transport infrastructure is currently modernizing main national railway lines. One of them is the railway line between Poznan and Szczecin. During the realization of such projects there occur conflicts in fulfilling different ecosystem functions by landscapes. On the basis of the theory of ecosystem services these conflicts should be solved, and potential projects – optimized. The study evaluates natural values of the areas adjacent to the railway line Poznań - Szczecin within a zone of 250 m, and also identifies areas with varying conflict degrees for the realization of the modernization project. The most important areas of h…

Social innovation in a post-conflict setting : examining external factors affecting social service NGOs

2021

While the study of the influence of external environmental factors on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is well explored in the international development literature, the importance of these factors on NGOs’ transformative roles in a post-conflict development setting remains less understood. Nevertheless, external environmental factors could have a crucial impact on NGOs in such a context, especially when NGOs want to integrate a socially innovative approach into the social services they provide. Using survey data of staff members of social service NGOs from post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (N = 120) and applying resource dependence theory, this study identifies three environmental f…

Data from: Sex-specific effects of natural and sexual selection on the evolution of life span and ageing in Drosophila simulans

2015

1. Variation in the strength of age-dependent natural selection shapes differences in ageing rates across species and populations. Likewise, sexual selection can promote divergent patterns of senescence across the sexes. However, the effects of these processes on the evolution of ageing have largely been considered independently, and interactions between them are poorly understood. 2. We use experimental evolution to investigate how natural and sexual selection affect life span and ageing in Drosophila simulans. 3. Replicate populations were evolved under lifetime monogamy (relaxed sexual selection) or lifetime polyandry (elevated sexual selection) and at one of two temperatures, 25 °C (rel…

Inny/obcy: doświadczenie języka i rzeczywistości (literacko-kulturowa ponowoczesność)

2017

The subject matter is developed around the Other, their presence and their personalising in the literary-cultural space. The reality becomes the source of observation (fiction and non-fiction) and reveals not only a variety of human experience in the world of multiculturalism, but also forms of “branding” the Other (rhetoric of the dominant communities towards cultural minorities) which correspond to them. The analysis of the rhetoric of speech and image permits to reveal the good and the bad side of language-cultural stereotypes, including also attitudes and behaviours affected by ideology.

Percorsi della devianza e della diversità. Dall'"uomo atavico" al "senza permesso di soggiorno"

2007

Il volume, oltre a tracciare l’evoluzione dei concetti riconducibili all’ampia fenomenologia delle condotte devianti, ne rintraccia ed evidenzia i processi culturali e sociali che vi fanno da sfondo. Costituendosi come un articolata ed approfondita riflessione sulle teorie dell'agire sociale e sui i modi con cui si determinano le relazioni, il volume si sofferma sulle strategie argomentative e i processi interpretativi con cui i “devianti” – gli stranieri, i “senza fissa dimora”, i “diversi”, i “disoccupati” – costituendo proiettivamente una minaccia all’ordine sociale, sono stati nel tempo individuati, etichettati ed emarginati dalle istituzioni. Ogni capitolo è correlato, oltre che da una…

Between-group competition and human cooperation.

2008

A distinctive feature of human behaviour is the widespread occurrence of cooperation among unrelated individuals. Explaining the maintenance of costly within-group cooperation is a challenge because the incentive to free ride on the efforts of other group members is expected to lead to decay of cooperation. However, the costs of cooperation can be diminished or overcome when there is competition at a higher level of organizational hierarchy. Here we show that competition between groups resolves the paradigmatic ‘public goods’ social dilemma and increases within-group cooperation and overall productivity. Further, group competition intensifies the moral emotions of anger and guilt associated…

Cultural similarity and dissimilarity in intercultural conflicts

2015

This study investigated cultural similarity and dissimilarity in intercultural conflicts, by focusing on how a mediator understands cultural difference in the process of mediation. Intercultural conflict occurs when cultural worldviews of an individual or group are incompatible with the worldviews of another cultural group within the same community. Special interest has been on social inequality, stereotypes and ingroup outgroup tension as causes of intercultural conflicts. Participants for this study were qualified mediators from South Africa. In order to understand their practice environment and mediation landscape in general, community conflict in South Africa was studied. The findings r…
