The impact of regional demographics on Higher Education Policy. An example from Silesia, Poland
2021
Abstract The determinants of higher education policy have their sources in various spheres, such as economic, social, educational, national policy, administrative, and demographic. Problems for the development of higher education also stem from these spheres. One of them is the challenging demographic situation that is a significant element of developing higher education in southern Poland (particuarly in the Silesia region). Given this context, this article aims to indicate the policies of the universities in the region which respond to the existing demographic threats. This relationship is to confront student opinions regarding their vision for their education and future career within the…
Miasto jako niekończące się wyzwanie
2020
W artykule zwrócona jest uwaga na zagadnienia, które wiążą się z retorycznym pytaniem, jak trudno zbudować miasto? Każde miasto miało/ma swój początek i pewną logikę rozwoju, która niekoniecznie jest odzwierciedleniem zamierzeń jego kreatorów. Miasto jest wypadkową marzeń i możliwości mieszkańców je tworzących. Ludzie chcą przebywać, egzystować w sytuacjach zakończonych, których z perspektywy dynamiki funkcjonowania miasta nie można zapewnić. Refleksja dotyka idei oraz realnego tworu miejskiego, kształtującego się w perspektywie długiego i krótkiego trwania
The Psychometric properties of the resilience scale (RS-14) in Lithuanian adolescents
2021
In the current study, we provided the evidence of satisfactory validity of the RS-14 scale in the Lithuanian adolescents’ sample (N = 1299; Mage = 14.24; SDage = 1.26), based on its internal structure, and relations to other variables. The results of the study indicated an acceptable model fit for a single-factor structure of the scale with a high internal consistency (McDonald’s omega = 0.89). We also confirmed the scalar measurement invariance across groups of adolescents in terms of their age (i.e., early and middle adolescence) and mental health profile as well as partial scalar gender invariance. Adolescents characterized by high levels of socio-emotional problems reported lower levels…
Ventilation Problems in Heritage Buildings
2007
The control of indoor conditions in heritage buildings, such as castles or museums, is of paramount importance for the proper preservation of the artworks kept in. As heritage buildings are often not equipped with HVAC systems, it is necessary to provide proper interventions and measures with the aim of monitoring and controlling indoor physical parameters. Moreover, another requirement should be achieved in such buildings, that is the maintenance of the safety conditions in presence of visiting people. This work reports the results of a survey carried on a hall of a historical palace, aimed to assess an useful correlation between CO2 concentration and occupancy levels.
Relationship between volume and energy of vector fields
2001
Abstract A unified study of energy and volume functionals is presented here by determining the critical points of a functional that extends simultaneously energy and volume and that is defined on the product of the manifold of smooth maps C∞(M,N) times the manifold M of riemannian metrics on M. The restriction of this functional to different submanifolds of the space of vector fields X (M)× M is also considered, and used to study several functionals generalizing volume and energy or total bending of vector fields
The impact of children’s socioemotional development on parenting styles: the moderating effect of social withdrawal
2020
This study focused on associations between children’s socioemotional development (prosocial behaviour, internalizing and externalizing problems) and parenting styles (affection, behavioural control, and psychological control), and the moderating role of children’s social withdrawal (as a temperamental characteristic) in these associations. Children’s socioemotional development (n = 314) were rated by teachers at three-time points (grades 1–3). Parents completed questionnaires measuring their parenting styles at the same three-time points. The level of social withdrawal was obtained at the end of kindergarten from teachers’ reports. Panel analysis showed that prosocial behaviour was associat…
The role of the agreement as a tool for management of property relations in cases of cross border marriages and civil unions/partnerships registered …
2021
The essay examines the role of the agreement as a tool for managing property relationships in crossborder marriages and registered partnerships, in light of EU Regulations 1103 and 1104 of 2016, on the property regimes of international married or registered couples. The main prerogative of such acts is the recognition of the parties? freedom to choose the court and the applicable law. The law governing the matrimonial property regimes, or the property consequences of registered partnerships, has universal scope. This agreement in the form envisaged, which is backed by the need for legal certainty and predictability of the applicable rules, means that the spouses, in family problems which ha…

Western Australian students' alcohol consumption and expenditure intentions for Schoolies.
2016
In Australia, the immediate post-school period (known as ‘Schoolies’) is associated with heavy drinking and high levels of alcohol-related harm. This study investigated students’ intended alcohol consumption during Schoolies to inform interventions to reduce alcohol-related harm among this group. An online survey was administered to students in their senior year of schooling. Included items related to intended daily alcohol consumption during Schoolies, amount of money intended to be spent on alcohol over the Schoolies period, and past drinking behaviour. On average, participants (n=187) anticipated that they would consume eight standard drinks per day, which is substantially higher than t…
Pour une anthropologie pragmatiste et plébéienne du patrimoine : un scenario contre-hégémonique
2019
À partir de plusieurs constats, le débordement des institutions patrimoniales, l’insistance de formes citoyennes ou plébéiennes des revendications d’attachements, la prégnance de la figure du vivant, la raréfaction du futur devant la perspective anthropocénique, ce texte voudrait jeter les bases d’un scénario contre-hégémonique du patrimoine : détaché des institutions d’État, loin du marché et de sa logique néo-libérale, engagé dans des expériences de problèmes publics, sensible à la pluralité ontologies et des modes de connaissance… Some preliminary observations: too much is now asked of heritage institutions; new citizens’ and plebeian forms are emerging of asserting attachments; life-sci…
