Edukacja
Marta Skierniewska
The main goal of the monograph is to present a proven method, based on a process approach, to define and improve the conditions of education at a higher education institution for individual disabilities. This is accompanied by the author's conviction that the developed and promoted method should define the obligations of each university in the field of ensuring access of PwD to higher education, and that the fulfillment of these obligations should be ensured by the law formulated in such a way that these obligations are explicitly indicated as absolute.

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.

Przedmiotem niniejszej książki jest ostatni okres sefardyjsko-słowiańskiego kontaktu językowego w Bośni, mający miejsce bezpośrednio przed Holokaustem, tj. w latach 1918-1941. Monografia ta jest rezultatem badań autora prowadzonych na terytorium Bośni i Hercegowiny oraz Chorwacji. Ponieważ miejscem najpełniejszego słowiańsko-żydowskiego kontaktu językowego były ziemie polskie, publikacja ta wzorowana jest na dorobku polskiego językoznawstwa w badaniach nad aszkenazyjsko-słowiańskimi relacjami lingwistycznymi. Piotr Żurek – dr hab., profesor Akademii Techniczno-Humanistycznej w Bielsku-Białej. Historyk i slawista, autor licznych publikacji naukowych poświęconych problematyce południowosłowiańskiej. Jego zainteresowania językoznawcze obejmują zagadnienia kontaktu językowego i języka polityki.
The Socio-Emotional Competencies of Students: A Guide for Teachers
Ewa Banaszak, Robert Florkowski, Ida Laudańska-Krzemińska, ,...
doi 10.7366/9788367450386 This book comprises materials that may serve as an inspiration to teachers and non-pedagogical employees who wish to develop socio-emotional skills in pupils. (...) There are various concepts of socio-emotional learning (SEL); however, they all refer to the development of personal and social skills, including learning how to cooperate, be empathetic, communicate, self-regulate (manage one's emotions) and think critically. (...) Socio-emotional competencies of pupils foster their functioning in school and achieving - both personal and professional - success in the future. These competencies may be developed at school. The socio-emotional learning process is not a separate aspect of the didactic process; it is rather a philosophy of developing these competencies during each activity: lessons, project work, and school breaks. *** The guide is prepared in a way that makes it accessible. It is divided into subject sections, (...) and individual modules are not too extensive; each of them ends with a set of questions which encourage a reflection. Particular problems are also completed with examples from school practice. (...) A significant challenge in training teachers is not providing them with knowledge but working with teachers' personal beliefs. Owing to these beliefs, information is either accepted or not, and the proposed solutions are implemented (or not) into school practices, both didactic and pedagogical. The authors offer questions that are very useful in terms of encouraging reflections on one's own opinions, beliefs, practices and their consequences. Małgorzata Rosalska, Prof. UAM, Ph.D. The book has been created for the purposes of the EU project Building social and emotional skills to BOOST mental health resilience in children and young people in Europe and funded from the Horizon 2020 scheme.

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.
