Euroregions as political actors: managing border policies in the time of Covid-19 in Polish borderlands
2022
The article examines the role of the Euroregions in the first Covid-19 pandemic wave in Europe. The beginning of the pandemic in the spring of 2020 led to the closures of state borders. This complicated the situation of Polish cross-border commuters working in Germany and the Czech Republic. The border closure also showed the strength of Euroregions, able to react and transmit the demands of borderlanders to the Polish government. To analyse this question, we adapt the deliberative system theory. The actions taken by Euroregions, as institutions of public space, were considered as deliberative consequences of non-deliberative actions of government.
Civil society organizations in high-immigration borders. Between humanitarianism and the defense of rights
2020
Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el papel de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC) en lugares de frontera con una alta migración, como son los casos de la frontera México-Estados Unidos y Marruecos-España, dos de los corredores migratorios de mayor importancia en el mundo. En estos espacios, sometidos a una vigilancia y una militarización cada vez mayores, las OSC vienen desarrollando desde hace tiempo una labor que se enfrenta crecientemente a los condicionantes impuestos por las políticas de control migratorio y de fronteras de los Estados. El artículo se basa en los resultados de del trabajo de terreno desarrollado en la ciudad fronteriza de Tijuana (México) y e…
Exploring the Effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Versus Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving in a Sample of P…
2021
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and systems training for emotional predictability and problem solving (STEPPS) are two treatment protocols for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) that have received important empirical support. However, their possible differential effectiveness has not yet been studied. The objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of these two treatment programs. A nonrandomized clinical trial was carried out in which both treatments were applied for six months. The sample consisted of 72 patients diagnosed with BPD. The results indicate that both groups experienced a statistically significant reduction in BPD symptom, emotional regulation, i…
Au-delà de la frontière : la Charte de Lampedusa, un exemple de réécriture des droits contre la logique de l’enfermement
2015
The paper describes the elaboration of the Charter of Lampedusa. It focuses on the political and geopolitical upheavals of 2014, paying particular attention to the evolving humanitarian-military devices of border management and controls deployed in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Borders are analyzed not only with respect to their function of geographic separation, but also as social, cultural, and economic markers. The objectives and limits of the Charter are explored in light of its capacity to represent an alternative vision against the political, economic, social and cultural predominant model in Europe. It is argued that this model needs to be completely restructured. The alternative visi…
The upcoming rise of SMEs in cross-border public procurement: is it a matter of networking capabilities?.
2022
La participación de las SME en licitaciones públicas es un tema recurrente en la literatura académica reciente, sin embargo, se ha prestado poca atención a la participación de las PYME en licitaciones internacionales o transfronterizas. Las SME que quieren participar en una licitación pública internacional debe superar barreras internas y externas que difcultan la tarea y minimizan las posibilidades de que le sea concedida la licitación. En este contexto, las capacidades dinámicas son fundamentales para que las PYME puedan enfrentarse y resolver dichas barreras en el contexto internacional. Especialmente son las capacidades de establecer redes las que pueden hacer que las PYME aumenten su d…

The observations derived from the sociological discourse depict the changes of this notion category in its un…
Kultūras robežšķērsošanas modeļa pielietošana fizikas apguvē
2017
Skolēni skolās cīnās ar fizikas mācīšanos. Katra zinātne, kura skolēniem ir jāmācās, ir atšķirīga, un katrai ir sava, bieži vien skolēniem nesaprotama kultūra. Šīs grūtības var palīdzēt pārvarēt skolēnu spēja izprast un pārkāpt dažādo kultūru robežas. Šis maģistra darbs ir pētījums, kā fizikas kultūras robežu pārvarēšana notiek klasē. Pievēršot uzmanību fizikas kultūras teorētisko pamatojumu izskaidrošanai un izstrādājot jaunus kultūru novērtēšanas paņēmienus, ir iespējams palīdzēt skolēniem iemācīties šķērsot dažādo kultūru robežas. Šajā procesā būtiski ir izanalizēt skolēnu atbildes un noteikt dažādo kultūru ietekmi. Skolotājiem ir svarīgi saprast, ka viņi var skolēniem palīdzēt kultūru r…
Conditions for Development of Co-operation between Educational Institutions - a Case Study of the INTERREG V-A Czech Republic - Poland (2014-2020)
2016
Poland’s accession to the European Union has offered a plane for building a variety of forms of territorial cooperation as elements of the cohesion policy and the European neighborhood policy. They serve to realize of the strategy “Europe 2020” and are accompanied by the possibility of making use of appropriate sources of financing or co-financing programs and enterprises from European funds. Territorial cooperation covers projects of trans-national, trans-European and cross-border ranges, the INTERREG V-A between the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland being one of them in the financial perspective 2014-2020. The aim of the paper is to present the principles behind the participation …
Binding of Insecticidal Crystal Proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis to the Midgut Brush Border of the Cabbage Looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) (Lepido…
1994
The susceptibility of Trichoplusia ni larvae to several Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) was tested. Neonatal larvae proved to be susceptible to solubilized trypsin-treated CryIA(a), CryIA(b), and CryIA(c) (50% lethal concentrations [LC 50 s], 570, 480, and 320 ng/cm 2 , respectively) but showed little susceptibility to CryIB and CryID (LC 50 s, 5,640 and 2,530 ng/cm 2 , respectively). The toxicity of ICPs was correlated to binding to the epithelial brush border of the midgut, as revealed by immunocytochemical staining with monoclonal antibodies. In vitro binding experiments with iodinated ICPs and brush border membrane vesicles indicated that CryIA(b) and CryIA(…
RAPD differentiation between Borderea pyrenaica and B. chouardii (Dioscoreaceae), two relict endangered taxa
2001
As currently circumscribed, the genus Borderea Mieg. comprises two narrowly distributed European taxa, Borderea pyrenaica (Bub.) Mieg. and B. chouardii (Gaussen) Heslot. An accumulation of facts such as that both species share a very close overall morphology, that only a single population of Borderea chouardii is known, and that they live in contrasting environments has led some authors to suggest that B. chouardii is a mere ecotype of the more widespread B. pyrenaica. We tested this hypothesis using RAPD markers in four populations of Borderea, three of them identified as B. pyrenaica and the other one representing the only known population of B. chouardii. Eleven out of twenty assayed pri…
