"ŁAD POSTLIZBOŃSKI" W EUROPIE

Author(s): Piotr Nowak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2017

The author of the article puts forward a thesis that the period in the international relations that came after the Cold War has already been completed and we are now in another one, to which he gives the name of the Post-Lisbon order. So far, in the discourse on the international relations it is called the post-Cold War order, without a clear distinction of its timeframe. The author, who presents a theoretical introduction of the definition of the international order which he perceives as a way of determining the relationship between international actors, who also presents the most important provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon and the New NATO Strategic Concept (adopted in Lisbon), called the new period a post-Lisbon order. By analyzing the presented problems the article constitutes an attempt to prove the thesis which was put forward at the beginning.

"The Application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process Model in the Process of Conflict Management"

Author(s): Nena Nenovska Gjorgjievska / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

The incitement and the occurrence of the conflicts, their escalation, ceasefire and de-escalation are processes which are continually appearing, lasting and resolving. Consequently, the conflicts usually pull migratory flows. Migration is an issue which nowadays is very present, and it needs to be resolved. The migration usually starts where conflicts arise. Having that in mind, the main concept in the paper is focused on the conflicts and the emergence of the migration flows. It also gives a suggestion how the conflicts can be resolved in the Middle East countries. The purpose of this research is to find out real reasons for appearance of migrations and most rational solutions for their solving. For doing that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is applied. A short overview will be given of the main elements of the AHP method and how it is applied in the conflict resolution. AHP method is enforceable and leads to concrete recommendations for further conflict resolution. The results of the research will show that resolving the conflicts may contribute in suppression of the migration and it can also protect countries for further armed conflicts and unwanted migration flows.

"To Be European Means to Be Me"

The Perspective of Young Muslims in Kosovo on European Identity

Author(s): Friedrich Püttmann / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2016

Since the beginning of the integration process into the European Union a continuous discourse has evolved about what characterizes ‘Europe’ and whether there is a common ‘European identity’. Most recently, this discourse has tended to define the European ‘Self’ in contrast to a ‘foreign’ Muslim ‘Other’. The debate is taking place against the background of new Muslim arrivals in Europe. However, the presence of Muslim citizens in Europe is not a recent phenomenon. This empirical research paper explores the effects this discourse has had on the perspective of Muslim youths in Kosovo on European identity. Kosovo is seen as a European country with a centuries-old Muslim presence. It seeks to further ‘Europeanize’ itself in order to connect with the EU. By means of qualitative in-depth interviews with young practicing Muslims in Prishtina the paper reveals that the participants have not started to view ‘Europe’ in any negative way. Instead, they use their positive understanding of European identity which they associate with diversity and freedom of religion for Muslims. The respondents heavily criticize their own government for misunderstanding the concept as denoting ‘un-Muslim’, which leads to an oppression of practicing Muslims in Kosovo in light of the country’s attempt to ‘be European’.

"To nie my przekroczyliśmy granicę, to ona przecięła nas." Biopolityka europejskiego reżimu migracyjnego

Author(s): Łukasz Moll / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 21/2016

This article reconceptualizes analytical tools suitable to theorizing the European migration regime by employing concepts developed by philosophers of biopolitics. By referring to border and migration studies, it diagnoses both the crisis of the traditional conceptualization of the border and the crisis of the post-Westphalian political order in Europe. Identifying the end of bordering practices as a result of the intertwining of sovereignty, territory, and population in the context of a neoliberal regime of capital accumulation, the article proposes to treat borders as productive apparatuses (dispositifs). While they support the desirable flows of people, they block the undesirable forms of circulation. In conclusion, the article argues that the co-existence of borderless spaces within the European Union with the arbitrary mechanisms of mobility control applied to non-EU migrants is impossible to maintain in the long run. Keeping the current status quo will result in the obliteration of the inside/outside division and a rupture in the strong link between borders and territory. In effect, the same apparatuses which aimed to make free mobility possible are becoming its main source of danger.

"Это утопия, это болото": жанры повествования о городе

Author(s): Varvara Kobyshcha / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 3/2015

Any researcher who works with local people in a small town soon finds a number of repeating topics, stories, symbols, characters, and attitudes. Together they create a generalized image that, to a greater or lesser degree, is shared by its inhabitants. In order to move beyond merely recording different forms of self-description and to use these data as instruments of explanation and comparative analysis, the author proposes a model for the genre analysis of such “local” narratives. This allows us to a) reveal links between the past (cultural memory), present (image), and future (expectations and scenarios) of a city; b) explain the cultural preconditions of observed collective and individual actions; and c) explain the specificity of the affective connection between citizens and their city. In the second part of the paper the author demonstrates some results of the application of this model, using two case studies: Myshkin (visited in 2013) and Kologriv (visited in 2010). The narratives of local inhabitants are structured according to the genres of ”progress” (development) and ”regress” (decay). The author is especially interested in how these genres constitute peculiar types of agency, as well as a repertoire of (im)possible actions.

A SHORT HISTORY OF COMPUTER USE AT FACULTY OF PHYSICS – UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST

Author(s): Mircea Victor Rusu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

For physicists computing is a main activity. Starting from devising an experiment to problem solving with computer, from using mathematical tables to other aids to computation, physics has grown its strength by using each step the numerical computation. So, computing for researches as well as education was used and steadily improved by us, starting from first minicomputers to the last generation of computers and algorithms. In this presentation we will follow, in short, the evolution of computing, hard and soft, in physics at our faculty. We selected here the main field of interests that was connected with problems showing: programmed solutions, simulations and modeling, computer application and software during the time. Such a time recollection is interesting and surprises me as how diverse and far such activity was done. Examples will be from computation in tradition physics, to biology, chemistry, astronomy, medicine to data processing and visualization, data management, to create our own educational software and so on. The fields as nonlinear dynamics, complexity, chaos and fractals, as well as fluid dynamics, atomic, molecular or nuclear physics, earth or stellar physics, connected to improvement of the experiments and devices via artificial intelligence are some of our topics which will be exemplified here.

AGING POPULATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION CAUSED BY THE IMPACT BIRTH VS DEATH

Author(s): Andreea Gabriela Zota / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

People from the European Union are living longer than before, as a result, population growth is slowing down, while population aging accelerates. Having this as a starting point, the purpose of the article is to investigate birth and death in parallel, in order to obtain a prediction on the number of live births and the crude death rate, for the upcoming decades. The method used was simple linear regression and it revealed a consistently decrease on both health indicators, reaching an almost equal value in 2035. Postponing childbirth until a women reaches the age of 30 and growing, consistent rise in the number of abortions among adolescent girls, diminution of the fertile population versus surging population over 65 years old, are all factors that explain the aging of the European population

Suriye krizi, Orta Doğu’daki genel savaş hali ve başarısız darbe girişiminin sonuçları itibariyle hızla bir göç ülkesi olarak dinamiklerin değiştiği bir noktadadır. Bu yeni durumda göçmenlerin, göçün ve göç etmeyenlerin birlikte değerlendirilmesi gerekiyor. Göç edenlerin, özellikle Suriye gibi savaş halindeki ülkelerden gelen göçmenlerin uzun süre kalacaklarını bilerek, iki yönlü işlemesi gereken uyum sürecine önem verilmesi ve bunu yaparken de özellikle hassas nüfuslara dikkat edilmesi gerekiyor.

Analiza realizacji ustaw dotyczących przekształcania prawa użytkowania wieczystego w prawo własności

Author(s): Anita Kwartnik-Pruc,Anna Trembecka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2019

The right of perpetual usufruct is one of the basic forms of public property management that brings systematic revenue to public entities. Before 1989, perpetual usufruct was practically the only possibility for natural persons to acquire public lands in cities. The changes of the political system triggered discussions on the legitimacy of this law, especially with regard to residential areas. Currently, there are two acts in force that regulate the transformation of the right of perpetual usufruct into full ownership title – The 2005 Act on transformation of the right of perpetual usufruct into ownership of real properties and The 2018 Act on transformation of the right of perpetual usufruct of land developed for housing purposes into ownership of this land. The aim of this research paper is a comparative analysis of the principles of transformation under the current procedure and pursuant to the Act of 2018, as well as the assessment of the scope of the implementation of the transformation process and the financial consequences for local government units and the State Treasury. Detailed research studies have been carried out on the example of a selected city based on the analysis of the proceedings carried out under the previous laws and on specifying the number of real properties and perpetual users covered by the transformation by virtue of law under the amended legislation, as well as the problems associated with the transformation fee.

ARCHÄOLOGISCHE ANGABEN ZUM BEZIEHUNGSSYSTEM DES KARPATENBECKENS UND DES OSTALPENRAUMES IM 10.–11. JAHRHUNDERT – VON WEST NACH OST

Author(s): Ciprián Horváth / Language(s): German / Issue: 2/2015

In my study I tried to analyze the button terminalled rings, the brooches and the earrings with engraved pattern or with enamel inlay, which are typical of the eastern Alps region finds. The button terminalled rings were used as head jewelry, bracelet or ring. The crescent-shaped earrings are known from 15 sites, which can be ranked among two main groups. Brooches turned up from 11 sites. The earliest occurrence had the button terminalled rings, which could have already appeared in graves in the middle of the 10th century The earrings could have appeared in graves from the 980/990’s as well, while the brooches can be dated from the turn of the millennium. We can notice a certain site concentration on the northern shore of Balaton, on the territory of Győr, Moson, Sopron, Vas, Baranya and Heves counties. Regarding both the way of wear and the combination of certain object types, eastern Alpine parallels can be detected.

Assessment of therapeutic qualities of ten public parks in Bydgoszcz

Author(s): Monika Trojanowska / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

This paper presents a binary rough assessment of ten public parks in Bydgoszcz, followed by a detailed assessment of one of them – Dolina Pięciu Stawów. The assessment was conducted using the universal pattern of design for health-affirming urban landscapes. The binary rough assessment results were satisfactory and similar for all parks. The results of the assessments indicated areas for possible improvement and can be used by the designers and inhabitants as justification for amendments. The major advantages of selected parks were qualities of space for mental and physical regeneration while the major deficiencies resulted from a lack of recreational equipment for various age groups and limited opportunities for social contacts. There were no major discrepancies and the fact that the rough assessment showed only little variation depending on the size of parks is proof of its limitation. This subjectivity of the rough evaluation was mitigated by a detailed assessment of Dolina Pięciu Stawów. This evaluation indicated further areas for improvement. The universal pattern of design for health-affirming urban places can be used as a ready-to-use tool.
