The Relocation of the Canons Regular Monastery in Żagań as an Element in the Reform of Interior Life
2019
Lokalizacja, w której znajdowała się instytucja kościelna, odgrywała istotna rolę w życiu wspólnot religijnych średniowiecza. Interakcje z otoczeniem i wzajemne wpływanie na siebie klasztoru i otoczenia mogły wspierać lub hamować rozwój opactwa. Zdarzały się sytuacje, że dochodziło do zmiany miejsca sprawowania służby przez zakonników. Na terenie Śląska mamy nawet dwa przykłady dla konwentów kanoników regularnych. Zarówno klasztor Najświętszej Maryi Panny we Wrocławiu, jak i konwent żagański swoje pierwotne lokalizacje miały w innych miejscach. Przeniesienie klasztoru z Nowogrodu Bobrzańskiego do Żagania w 1284 roku było wydarzeniem, które otwierało dla opactwa nowe szanse i perspektywy, a …
The Relocation of the Canons Regular Monastery in Żagań as an Element in the Reform of Interior Life
2019
The location in which a church was based played an important role in the life of religious communities in the Middle Ages. Interactions with society and the mutual influence of a monastery on the surrounding societies could support or inhibit the development of an abbey.

As described in the monastery chronicle, the transfer of the monastery from Nowogród Bobrzański to Żagań in 1284 was an event that opened new opportunities and per…
Policies of Refugee Settlement and Integration in Europe: the Cases of Portugal and Finland
2019
Abstract Though geographically distant from each other, Portugal and Finland present an interesting comparison concerning the policies and devices of asylum. Both provide an informed and critical appraisal of the current international response to the refugee issue, especially considering the European Union. The Finnish situation evidences a long-standing integrated resettlement frame, associated with the inclusive and pluralistic character of Nordic immigration policies, in spite of the growing threat of regression under the emergent xenophobic pressure. Unlike Portugal, where a finely-tuned response system is still lacking in spite of the existence of an assumed political will and commitme…
Rapid change in forms of inorganic nitrogen in soil and moderate weed invasion following translocation of wet meadows to reclaimed post‐industrial la…
2019
Anthropogenic expansion and loss of natural environments calls for the more sustainable use of resources, including land. To combine the conservation of highly valuable meadow habitat with reclamation of post‐industrial land, 1.3 ha of turf were translocated from an urban area to basins constructed near an abandoned quarry. In contrast to the usual method of choosing similar habitats as salvage sites, the selected quarry possessed different environmental properties to the meadows, challenging their acclimatisation. To evaluate the project, we monitored three meadows (Molinion caeruleae alliance) for three seasons: immediately before the transfer and for 2 years afterwards. We recorded veget…
