The Muslim Geographical Image of the World in the middle Ages. A Source Study
Ahmad Nazmi
Oparta na bogatej bibliografii arabskiej i opracowaniach naukowych z całego świata analiza wiedzy geograficznej, znajomości kosmografii i astronomii w świecie muzułmańskim w średniowieczu. Arabowie czerpali tę wiedzę m. in. z nauki starożytnej Grecji i Rzymu, ale także z Persji i Indii. Dzięki niej świat, który z powodzeniem wówczas podbijali, nie był dla nich nieodgadnioną zagadką.
The problematic aspects of energy efficiency \'21
Maciej Zajkowski, Zbigniew Sołjan (Editors)
The structure of the monograph is very simple and contains 10 articles related to energy efficiency. The issues addressed in the publication are thematically different, but their common denominator, in addition to the aforementioned energy efficiency, is the area of electricity-using technologies. The articles cover issues including wireless transmission of electricity, modern lighting techniques for pedestrian crossings, or topics related to light pollution or reactive power compensation problems.
The problematic aspects of energy efficiency \'22
Maciej Zajkowski, Zbigniew Sołjan (red.)
Energy efficiency is not only energy yield related to the energy consumption in a specific device or building but also the possibility of optimal use of the stored energy in a determine area or in the system, without the necessity for its transmission. Generation, distribution and balancing of energy demand, in a limited area, becomes an energy cluster in which, under the agreement of the entities forming the cluster, there is a possibility for effective management of energy produced and its storage, according to the requirements and assumptions of the capacity market. The purpose of such an initiative is primarily the effective development of distributed energy, which does not have to be based solely on renewable energy sources, but can also use conventional sources, according to dedicated management models. The whole project is intended to improve energy security, have a positive impact on the environment, strengthen the local economy and generate lower costs for the end user. According to the RES Act, a member of an energy cluster can be an enterprise, a natural person, a local government unit and their organizational units. It can also include small, medium and large public transport companies and other entities functioning in the area covered by the energy cluster. A cluster initiative may be established and operate in an area no larger than five municipalities or one county, and its purpose is to obtain financial and non-financial benefits for the members of the energy cluster.

This publication consists of four chapters. The first chapter refers to generating business ideas, the second to creating a product tailored to market needs, and the third is focused on creating a business plan. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the description of pre-acceleration and acceleration programmes. The publication concludes with a case study on activities supporting entrepreneurial initiatives. The book is dedicated to people seeking a good business solution and aiming to bring it to the market in a timely manner. It should be noted that this does not only apply to new businesses, but also those already existing on the market since they constantly have to generate ideas and adapt them to changing market conditions.
Theoretical and practical aspects of business activity. Starting a business
Joanna Szydło, Danuta Szpilko, Ewa Glińska, Urszula...
Entrepreneurship is a key factor for economic growth, improving the competitiveness of countries’ economies and increasing social prosperity. Young entrepreneurs face a number of challenges as a result of the rapidly changing socio-economic environment. In their activities aimed at launching a business, young entrepreneurs need knowledge and skills on a wide range of topics related to finance, law, marketing, product management, etc. This is why more and more projects aiming at comprehensive assistance in launching a business are being developed. One of them is the project “Acceleration of Business Support Ecosystem” (ACCESS), which was co-financed under the programme Interreg V-A Lithuania-Poland 2014-2020. ACCESS strengthens entrepreneurial initiatives by improving business support services in Kaunas and Marijampole region on the Lithuanian side, as well as Suwalki and Bialystok sub-regions in Poland. One of the many results of the project is the creation of two publications on theoretical and practical aspects of setting up and running a business. These publications aim to popularise entrepreneurial attitudes and provide knowledge necessary to achieve success in business. Young entrepreneurs, before embarking on their brave activities, should check where and what funds they can obtain to start or develop their own enterprise. They should gain knowledge about the target group they intend to reach. In addition, they should focus on ways to communicate with the hypothetical recipient. An equally important aspect is to create a team that will work effectively.

This book is a written aid to the lectures on Theoretical Mechanics, being given to the international students of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology. The main objective of the book is to provide the undergraduate students with the necessary knowledge and skills to solve mechanical problems that can occur in their engineering job, or earlier - during studies - within semester or diplome projects.
Toponimia powiatu tureckiego. Słownik nazw
Ewelina Zając
Publikacja - słownik ojkonimów i anojkonimów z powiatu tureckiego stanowi znakomite źródło poznania nazw miejscowych i terenowych ze wschodniej Wielkopolski. Zawiera 1725 haseł skonstruowanych według przejrzystej struktury: wyraz hasłowy, zapisy form gwarowych nazwy, informacja na temat charakteru obiektu, etymologia naukowa nazwy, historia obiektu lub jego ludowa etymologia. Materiał słownikowy został zgromadzony samodzielnie przez autorkę w wyniku eksploracji terenowej w latach 2010-2012, podczas której przeprowadzono rozmowy ze 195 informatorami, oraz w wyniku ekscerpcji źródeł historycznych. Praca stanowi cenny zbiór zestawiający toponimy z powiatu tureckiego obszaru położonego we wschodniej części Wielkopolski, dotychczas nieopracowanego przez onomastów [...] Jest dobrym uzupełnieniem publikacji dotyczących terenów sąsiednich [...] Praca ma charakter językoznawczy, choć jej odbiorcami mogą być także przedstawiciele innych dyscyplin, a także nieprofesjonaliści, zainteresowani tematyką regionalną dotyczącą Wielkopolski.

Podręcznik zawiera wprowadzenie do zagadnień związanych z transportem zelektryfikowanym. Zakres poruszanych zagadnień dotyczy zarówno roli transportu elektrycznego jako sprawnego i ekologicznego systemu transportu na tle polityki transportowej współczesnej Europy, jak i zagadnień dotyczących ruchu i wyposażenia pojazdów z napędem elektrycznym oraz infrastruktury elektroenergetycznej transportu sieciowego. W końcowej części opracowania zestawiono przykładowe pytania sprawdzające oraz słowniczek polsko-angielski podstawowych terminów i pojęć z zakresu trakcji elektrycznej. Zakres tematyczny publikacji pokrywa się z wykładami "trakcja elektryczna" dla studentów V semestru studiów inżynierskich Wydziału Elektrycznego Politechniki Warszawskiej kierunku Elektrotechnika.
