PRZESTRZEŃ PUBLICZNA A PRZEMIANY MIASTA

Author(s): Małgorzata Dymnicka / Language(s): Polish

Przestrzeń publiczna, której rodowód sięga czasów starożytności, należy do tych obszarów miejskiej struktury, o których można powiedzieć, że pozwalają na doświadczanie obecności Innych. Dzięki takich cechom, jak otwartość, dostępność, czytelność, można się w niej znaleźć z osobistym bagażem biografii, niebędącym przeszkodą dla pozostałych jej użytkowników. W ostatnich latach sporo miejsca w dyskursie publicznym zajmuje kwestia zaniku, upadku, ale też odrodzenia przestrzeni publicznej. Dynamika kapitalizmu i związana z nim globalizacja, zawrotne tempo przemian w dziedzinie technologii informacyjnej i komunikacji powodują, że dawny porządek oparty na sztywnych podziałach prywatne–publiczne traci powoli na znaczeniu. Odrzucając dwa skrajne stanowiska: z jednej strony apokaliptyczną wizję upadku przestrzeni publicznej, z drugiej zaś – bezkrytyczne jej odrodzenie, w książce podjęto próbę pokazania, że każda z tych perspektyw rodzi różne konceptualizacje, transformacje i rekonstrukcje o charakterze przestrzennym, społecznym i kulturowym, wpisując się w szerszy projekt kształtowania współczesnych tożsamości miasta.

NUCLEAR ENERGY AND THE CURRENT SECURITY ENVIRONMENT IN THE ERA OF HYBRID THREATS

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): English

Security concerns are an integral part of the discussions on energy dependencies. The security discussion became even more common in the European energy debates with the various gas disputes between Russia and Ukraine in 2006–2015. After these incidents, the energy diversification policy has received increasing attention in Europe. Russia has featured prominently in the European debate relating to energy dependencies and interdependencies, but there are also other actors who may have an interest in affecting the stability of the energy supply. This has been the case with hydrocarbon production and exports in particular (Oxenstierna, 2014). Recent attacks on oil tankers and an oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia have made headlines and resulted in rapid fluctuations in the price of oil. Nuclear energy has attracted much less attention as a potential security risk compared to the perception of risks related to hydrocarbon dependency, and it is therefore worth taking a closer look at the sector. Different energy sources, industries and actors must be studied more carefully in the changed security environment. These changes include the growing dependencies across energy infrastructure systems, increasing interconnectedness in the world, the increased potential to use energy as a geo-political tool and the intensifying competition among great powers and regional hegemons (Verner, et al., 2019). The objective of this study is to analyse whether nuclear energy can be used in some way by an adversary as a part of their hybrid activity toolbox.

Zlepšování a environmentální inovace v podniku

Author(s): Viktor Kulhavý / Language(s): Czech

The publication presents theoretical foundations of continuous improvement and environmental innovation in a company. The interdisciplinary issue is being scrutinized from the perspective of management, organizational psychology and conservation psychology. The neccessary research framework is provided by the theory of planned behaviour. The aim of the conducted research was to find out in what ways employees of a particular business take part in the innovation activities and eco-innovations development. Alongside the theoretical model derived from the theory of planned behaviour has been subject to verification. In this way the appropriateness of employee behavioural intention to make amotion to innovation was examined. It can be summarized that the environmental innovation proposals are not perceived by the employees of the company as a common practice in the process of innovation development. The innovation activities have from a point of view of the foremen and the moderators the aim of productivity increase and making work easier. For the labourers it means above all financial gain as a reward for the innovation proposals. The moderators –according to their opinion – incite the labourers to suggest eco-innovations, however the labourers alone do not perceive their improvement proposals to be environmentally sound.

Germany’s Energiewende: No Abandonment, Just Revision

Author(s): Aleksandra Gawlikowska-Fyk / Language(s): English

The coalition talks between CDU/CSU and SPD on the creation of a new government confirmed that Germany has a problem with implementation of its energy transformation policy. However, this fact neither means a departure from Energiewende, nor a change in its assumptions. The new government will revise the strategy and focus on the objectives of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. In the European Union, Germany will remain the promoter of ambitious climate and energy policy.

Strategia niskoemisyjnego rozwoju UE a polityka energetyczna Polski do 2050 r.

Author(s): Julia Michalak / Language(s): Polish

Uzgodnione w Paryżu pod koniec 2015 r. globalne porozumienie klimatyczne zaleca, aby do 2020 r. jego sygnatariusze przygotowali własne długookresowe strategie niskoemisyjnego rozwoju. W marcu br. rozpoczęcie prac nad unijną strategią zapowiedziała Komisja Europejska (KE), a jej plan poparła Rada Europejska. Nad podobnymi scenariuszami pracuje również szereg państw członkowskich UE. Polska także powinna rozpocząć przygotowania własnej strategii niskoemisyjnego rozwoju. Można do tego wykorzystać trwające już prace nad dokumentem „Polityka energetyczna Polski do 2050 r.”, który powinien uwzględniać kierunki unijnej polityki klimatycznej oraz polityki poszczególnych państw członkowskich.

Wyzwania negocjacyjne podczas konferencji klimatycznej w Paryżu

Author(s): Marek Wąsiński / Language(s): Polish

30 listopada w Paryżu światowi przywódcy otworzą 21. Konferencję Stron (COP21), podczas której ma zostać wynegocjowane nowe globalne porozumienie na rzecz walki ze zmianami klimatycznymi. Wydaje się, że istnieje polityczna wola jego zawarcia, rośnie jednak presja na negocjatorów, którzy mają do rozstrzygnięcia najtrudniejsze zagadnienia, jak długoterminowe cele redukcji emisji i adaptacji oraz finansowanie działań klimatycznych. O ile UE dąży do ambitnego porozumienia, o tyle dla Polski także jego słabsza wersja może oznaczać korzyści polityczne i gospodarcze.

Normalized management systems: quality, environment and safety

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The content of all chapters of the present book contributes to the discussion about the shape of the aforementioned strategy in reference to normalized management systems. It should be noted that the authors of the present publication are aware of the correspondence between the standardization of products, processes and management systems. The authors focused on standards associated with management systems, because practice has shown that these standards can be very useful in the process of improving management systems in organizations and, consequently, contribute to its increased competitiveness. The authors, while discussing issues related to this area, have made an attempt to view an organization as a system, i.e. a set of interrelated elements which function as a whole. Special emphasis has been put on the normalized management systems which enjoy great popularity among organizations, especially in reference to the process of improving their operations. Therefore, separate chapters of the present book comprise considerations about various aspects of standards linked with good management practices in relation to: quality, environment, information security, food safety, occupational health and safety as well as social responsibility. Moreover, significant premises, methods and levels of the integration of these systems have been touched upon. Considerations included in the present book, according to its authors, are valuable in their cognitive and application aspects alike. The use of analyses, evaluations and recommendations included in this book can be a very useful tool for improving the implementation process and increasing the effectiveness of the discussed management systems in any production or service organization. The present handbook may also serve as a source of inspiration for conducting independent research for doctoral candidates in the frames of interdisciplinary doctoral studies within the scope of product and service quality. Furthermore, it can be used in order to support the didactic process of these studies /Jerzy Łańcucki/.

Geografie bariér: Příklady dobrých bezbariérových realizací

Author(s): / Language(s): Czech

The book Geography of Barriers: Examples of Good Barrier-free Practice offers a collection of texts that are interested in making space, services, and information accessible. Thus, the collection is primarily about barriers, their nature, localization, and possible effects. Under barriers, most people imagine material barriers for wheelchair users in the form of steps or sidewalk curbs. Only a few would think that barriers can be represented by loosely placed rugs, unfit lighting, large glass surface, a doorbell without visual output, unwanted attention, frequent asking and offering help, lack of language knowledge, pity, etc. Thus, the book broadens awareness of what can be considered a barrier. The texts are divided into three parts – theoretical, methodic, and empirical – and their arrangement follows the logic of thematic focusing from the most general to the most concrete types of barriers. While the theoretical part places the policies of accessibility into the wider context of scientific disciplines and their development – such as disability studies, disability geography or service design, the methodic part discusses the introduction of accessibility policies in the city of Brno, describing how it tried to make its space, services, and information more accessible. Finally, the empirical part offers 18 examples of relatively good barrier-free implementations that have been recently realized in Brno. This division reflects an effort to target several groups of readers. The first part thus addresses mainly students interested in accessibility issues, the second, methodic part is intended for politicians and municipalities searching for inspiration to implement their own accessibility measures and policies. The last part stating concrete examples of good barrier-free implementations is aimed at general public, at people who like to think about a whole range of topics related to accessibility of space, services, and information.

Güncel Gelişmeler Işığında Sağlık Yönetimi

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish

Health, which is one of the most fundamental rights of people, conceptually refers to a state of complete physical, psychological, and social well-being. From the early ages to the present day, all the changes and developments in the world, both positive and negative, have affected people's life and health in different strengths and degrees. While in the early days, people tried to cope with a very small number of factors in order to be and stay healthy, today many factors have emerged that determine and affect people's health status. In this age we live in, it is important to prevent or minimize the negative effects of the factors that emerge with the changes and current developments in every field at an inconceivable speed and in every field, and to manage the factors that have positive effects in a correct way in order to spread, develop and benefit more by people. Today, planning, organizing, directing, controlling, and coordinating the resources and processes needed for the services to be provided by taking into account all factors and elements in order to successfully protect and improve the health level of the individual and society requires a professional and scientific approach and perspective. In this book, some topics related to health and health services are analyzed in chapters from the perspective of health management. The chapters of the book consist of "health management and human capital relationship, digital transformation in health services, internet of things in health services, swot analysis in health institutions, budgeting, and capital budgeting in health enterprises, medical documentation in health institutions, school health, nutrition recommendations during the Covid-19 outbreak from a health management perspective, environmental health and medical waste management".

Environmentally forced migrations in the European policy framework

Author(s): Anna Lia Maria Soddu / Language(s): English

“Use your own property in such a way that you do not injure that of another”. This maxim[2], regarding a limitation to states' sovereignty, incorporates a cardinal principle enshrined in both the Civil and Common Law systems, and more broadly, in the customary international law. This limitation, also called “the principle of good neighbourliness” in international environmental law, applies to activities within a state territory that may harm other states. The principle places on states two types of erga omnes obligations: the first is the positive obligation of due diligence (behaving as a bonus paterfamilias in Roman law), the second is a negative obligation not to cause environmental harm, or as John Stuart Mill would call it: the "harm principle". A liability ex delicto would arise as a legal consequence in the case of transboundary environmental harm, such as climate change. We could ask then to what extent individuals and institutions must be held responsible for climate change and its consequences, among them migration. A reasonable approach would be to the extent they causally contributed to the problem. However, the backwards-looking responsibility sometimes excuses agents' actions that were not entirely voluntary, as Aristotle already argued in his Ἠθικὰ Νικομάχεια[3].
