Current distribution of Pilularia globulifera L. in Poland – changes of geographical range and habitat preferences
2013
<em>Pilularia globulifera </em>is a subatlantic European fern threatened with extinction. In Poland, it reaches the eastern border of its continuous range. Up to the end of the 20th century, it was observed here in 21 stands; only 2 of them existed by the second half of the century, so the species was categorized as critically endangered. Five new locations have been found in western and northwestern Poland during the last 10 years. Abundant and permanent populations grow in 3 locations, while 2 stands were ephemeral. All the current stands are situated in anthropogenic habitats with spontaneous vegetation, in oligotrophic to eutrophic waters. One of the new localities is about …
The phenomenon of multiculturalism. The case of Poland
2017
One of the most important global processes nowadays is migration. Its result is, interalia, the deepening multiculturalism. It can take the form of a social phenomenon, political project or society. In this article we have focused on multiculturalism as a social phenomenon. It means the presence of different cultures with an ethnic background of their diversity in a specific social space and historical moment. They exist together and accept the mutually distinct ethnic (cultural) difference. The origins of the phenomenon of multiculturalism go back to ancient times, although then the phenomenon did not have a scientific framework of analysis. Such ones appeared in the 70s and 80s of the twe…
Early modern state formation in the margins? A review of early modern popular politics and limited royal power in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth …
2017
The traditional historiography of early modern state-building has usually followed the western European paradigm of historiography, the usual models being France, England, Brandenburg-Prussia and Sweden. Regions that do not follow this paradigm have simply been left out and labeled “backward” or as “lagging behind”. In this literary review, our focus is on two different and rather surprising cases of early modern state formation: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Spanish colonial empire in Latin America. By following the scholarship on these two large conglomerates, we focus on two scholarly concepts: the idea of early modern realms as composite/conglomerate states, and state forma…
Czy Nysius huttoni (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Lygaeidae), gatunek obcy dla Europy, może mieć w Polsce sprzyjające warunki do bytowania?
2020
Nysius huttoni, the species endemic to New Zealand, is regarded as a pest which feeding can seriously reduce crop establishment in forage brassicas. It was discovered for the first time in Europe in 2002 (the Netherlands) and has spread in several European countries (Belgium, France, United Kingdom, Germany). Although detailed data on the natural spread of N. huttoni is lacking, it can theoretically be transported over long distances with infested plants, and is often found on apple and kiwi fruit packages exported from New Zealand. The species was hitherto not reported from Poland, therefore its potential geographic distribution was modelled using maximum entropy (Max-Ent) in order to pred…
Historia Domu Rekolekcyjnego Konferencji Episkopatu Polski "Księżówka" w Zakopanem w latach 1910-1945
2016
W artykule została przedstawiona droga do zrealizowania, podjętego w 1891 r., przez Stowarzyszenie Domu Zdrowia dla Kapłanów w Zakopanem założenia, budowy domu wspólnoty, z uwzględnieniem bazy zakładu leczniczego.

Tekst wprowadza w atmosferę panującą w „Księżówce” w czasach zaboru austriackiego, w II Rzeczypospolitej oraz w okresie okupacji hitlerowskiej.
Kandydat PSL "Wyzwolenie" pierwszym prezydentem Polski, czyli wielka gra Stanisława Thugutta w grudniu 1922 roku
2019
In December 1922, the first presidential election in history took place in Poland. Voting was not universal because the National Assembly made their choice. One of the candidates for the office of president was proposed by Stanislaw Thugutt. He was the leader of the Polish People’s Party “Wyzwolenie/Liberation”. PPP “Wyzwolenie/Liberation” was one of the largest peasant parties in interwar Poland. In comparison with the largest peasant party in the Second Polish Republic – the Polish People’s Party “Piast” was a leftist party. On December 9, 1922, both parties supported the same candidate in a decisive vote. It was Gabriel Narutowicz, who was then the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In additio…

From the poster boy of Europeanization to the sick man of Europe: thirty years (1990–2019) of Poland’s European policy
2021
The Eurosceptic turnabout which has taken place in the CEE constitutes one of the most significant factors weakening the cohesion of the EU. In this group, Poland is the key element in view of its size and the status of the ‘poster boy’ of Europeanization acquired in the previous years. This paper analyses the major trends in the European policy of the Polish governments in the long-term period of 1990–2018 on the basis of standardized data (addresses by the Polish ministers of foreign affairs) and a quantitative analysis. These data also shed light on the essence of changes taking place in Poland’s EU policy. What appeared to be important was both the change in the country’s status after j…
Reglamentowana odwilż. Obóz „zamkowy” na emigracji wobec wydarzeń w Polsce i bloku komunistycznym w 1956 roku
2016
The article presents the position of “the Castle” on emigration (the President, government and the Council of the Republic of Poland) towards the events in Poland and the Eastern Bloc in 1956. The politicians and publicists of “the Castle”, observing some changes in the country, did not expect that they would lead to basic changes. The opinion prevailed that Poland was not an independent state and that the Soviet occupation still persisted. Propagating maximum demands (independence, restoration of the pre-war border in the east), they did not have much hope in an evolutionary course of changes. They opted for a deposition, and not a liberalisation of the communist system in Poland and the r…
