The British-Irish Border in the Context of Brexit

2020

Przedmiot artykułu stanowią rozważania dotyczące konsekwencji Brexitu dla funkcjonowania granicy pomiędzy Irlandią a Irlandią Północną. Autor wyjaśnia, czym jest ta granica w warunkach, kiedy Wielka Brytania nie jest już członkiem Unii Europejskiej, a więc przebieg tej granicy może stanowić barierę dla swobodnego przepływu osób, towarów, kapitału i usług. Artykuł jednocześnie podkreśla, że wyjście Wielkiej Brytanii z Unii Europejskiej będzie miało istotny wpływ na zmianę funkcji tej granicy, która od tej chwili nie będzie już wewnętrzną, lecz zewnętrzną granicą Unii. Celem artykułu jest zatem analiza konsekwencji tej zmiany z równoczesnym wskazaniem różnych modeli funkcjonowania Wielkiej Br…

International Social Work: Professional Debates about Global and Local Practices

2020

International social work is still a work in progress and an arena with diverse definitions, interpretations, and directions. The international application of social work requires taking a multi-faceted view of the nature of social work and has implications for the international debate on values and ethics; the profession's firm commitment to the principles of human rights and social justice raises many questions about how these values may be perceived differently in relation to cultural and national contexts. The increasing mobility of social workers across national borders, as well as posing challenges in terms of cultural adaptation and sometimes language competences, offers important op…

''Dual'' gravity: Using spatial econometrics to control for multilateral resistance.

2007

We propose a quantity-based `dual' version of the gravity equation that yields an estimating equation with both cross-sectional interdependence and spatially lagged error terms. Such an equation can be concisely estimated using spatial econometric techniques. We illustrate this methodology by applying it to the Canada-U.S. data set used previously, among others, by Anderson and van Wincoop (2003) and Feenstra (2002, 2004). Our key result is to show that controlling directly for spatial interdependence across trade flows, as suggested by theory, significantly reduces border effects because it captures `multilateral resistance'. Using a spatial autoregressive moving average specification, we …

Kansainvälisen fuusion jälkeisen IT-integraation menestystekijät : tapaustutkimus

2018

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, että mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat positiivisesti kansainvälisen fuusion jälkeiseen IT-integraatioon. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin menestystekijöitä fuusion jälkeistä integraatioprosessista IT-integraation ja organisaatiokulttuurin näkökulmista. Tutkimuskysymys oli se, että: Mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat IT-integraation onnistumiseen kansainvälisen yritysoston jälkeen? Tutkimus toteutettiin kirjallisuuskatsauksena ja empiirinen osuus tapaustutkimuksena. Kvalitatiivisen tapaustutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin puolistrukturoitujen teemahaastatteluiden avulla ja aineiston analysoitiin teemoittelun avulla. Yksilöhaastattelut toteutettiin kohdeyrityksessä niille a…

Indo-French educational partnerships: Institutions, Technologies and Higher Education

2016

International audience; Chapter 1 Why France and India? The Convergence Hypothesis The cross-fertilization of insights derived from French and Indian intellectual History, with, on the one hand, the Age of Enlightment in Western Europe in the 18th century, bringing forward an autonomous position for knowledge in human societies, and, on the other hand, the visionary prediction made by Radhakrishnan (1911, 1933, 1936) that India’s future would be built in her classrooms, have ignited an innovative pluridisciplinary reflection on the role played by these two countries in the fabric of the knowledge-based economy in the twenty-first century (Pilkington and Nair, 2013, p.2). Pilkington and Nair…

Ewa Korzeniowska jako matka - strażniczka ogniska domowego. Wychowanie w kresowej rodzinie szlacheckiej na ziemiach polskich pod zaborami w okresie m…

2015

W artykule przedstawiam portret Ewy Korzeniowskiej, matki Josepha Conrada oraz siostry Tadeusza Bobrowskiego, na której życie osobiste (podobnie jak na życie wielu kresowych szlachcianek) przemożny wpływ miała historia. Polityka, jaką Rosja carska stosowała wobec Polaków, którzy ośmielili się marzyć o niepodległości w sposób dramatyczny naznaczyła całe jej życie. Z jej korespondencji oraz przekazu bliskich jej osób wyłania się portret prawdziwej matki Polki oddanej swojej rodzinie i ojczyźnie.

A Linguistic journey to the border

2011

Language is a powerful tool. Linguistic creativity provides the means to new ways of knowing, thinking, and being, and allows a new set of dialogues to emerge. This paper illuminates how Guillermo Gómez-Peña, a Chicano performance artist, writer, activist and educator uses language to do just this. In this paper, I will specifically focus on Gómez-Peña’s use of monolingual English and Spanish, as well as his application of code-mixed dialogue and illustrate how his linguistic innovation reflects his position on Border Culture. peerReviewed

WATER MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS AT THE BUKÓWKA DRINKING WATER RESERVOIR’S CROSS-BORDER BASIN AREA IN TERMS OF ITS ESTABLISHED FUNCTIONS

2015

The paper covers the analysis of water management problems in the cross-border reservoir basin of Bukówka, located at the Bóbr river, at 271+540 km of its course, below the Czech-Polish border, in Dolnośląskie Voivodeship. The problems of water management in the context of the reservoir’s functions have been analyzed; these are: flood control, the provision of water during low water level periods for the Water Treatment Plant in Marciszów, the provision of drinking water for the city of Wałbrzych as well as the provision of proper flow in the Bóbr river bed downstream from the reservoir. Due to its localization right below the border with the Czech Republic, the reservoir is exposed to a nu…
