The Coup in Poland in January 1919
Get PDFThe paper examines a little-known unsuccessful attempt at a military coup in Poland in January 1919. The idea attracted notable members of the Polish National Committee, including Stanisław Grabski, and members of other right-wing organisations. Colonel Marian Januszajtis-Żegota took up the leadership at the military level, and Eustachy Sapieha at the political level. The coup was directed against the government led by the socialist Jędrzej Edward Moraczewski. The paper shows the political context of the uprising, the process, and the circumstances of its failure.Key words: coup, Poland, army, Moraczewski’s government, Colonel Marian Januszajtis-Źegota

1926 m. Józefo Piłsudskio valstybės perversmo kariniai aspektai
Get PDFIn May 1926, a coup took place in the Republic of Poland, which resulted in Józef Piłsudski, head of state (Naczelnik Państwa) in the period 1918–1922, taking over actual power in the country. Among other things, those three days in the streets of Warsaw stood out by the fact that during them Polish soldiers confronted each other: some military units partly supported President Stanisław Wojciechowski and the constitutional government of Wincent Witos, while others backed the plans of the first marshal of Poland, who could already boast a rather ‘whitewashed’ image among the population. Piłsudski’s plans were initially limited to the idea of forcing the resignation of the Cabinet, but finally turned into a broader campaign for the takeover of power, during which 379 people died and over 900 were wounded. The paper covers the sequence of events on 12–14 May, and focuses specifically on the role of army officers and units at different stages in the coup.Key words: coup, army, Poland, Józef Piłsudski, Stanisław Wojciechowski
Gintaras kaip simbolis: kultūrų kaita ir tęstinumas Vokiečių ordino valdose Baltijos pajūryje
Get PDFStraipsnyje siekiama atskleisti gintaro rinkimo, apdirbimo ir naudojimo pokytį Baltijos jūros rytinėse pakrantėse vikingų laikotarpio pabaigoje bei XII–XVI a. Gintaro dirbiniai, pagoniškoje sakralinėje erdvėje išreiškę mitologinius elementus, buvo transformuoti ir įtraukti į krikščioniškąją tikybos praktiką, kartu išlaikant gintaro, kaip medžiagos, komercinę vertę. Aptariamojo laikotarpio archeologinė medžiaga iliustruoja laipsnišką krikščioniškų elementų smelkimąsi į pagoniškas teritorijas. Tų elementų raiška matyti iš naujų gintaro dirbinių formų.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: gintaras, Prūsija, Kuršas, Vokiečių ordinas, paternoster karoliai
MEASURING WELFARE IN ROMANIA: ALTERNATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEASURES TO GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
Get PDFThe study presents alternative measures for measuring the welfare of a country in the context of identifying relationships generated by the impact of changes in the income level, measured by gross domestic product (GDP), related to other welfare, measured by the Happy Planet Index (HPI). The analysis was conducted in Romania, during the period from 2012 to 2016. The research methodology involves simple linear regression and welfare descriptive variables such as GDP, GDP/capita, HPI and its subcomponents’ indicators, namely life satisfaction, life expectancy and ecological footprint. Identification of aspects that have an impact on the welfare of citizens allows to compare levels of wellbeing experienced worldwide and to identify the main areas at the national level on which improvements can be made. The results indicate that, although there is no correlation between GDP and HPI, GDP/capita has great influence on both life satisfaction and life expectancy. Also, GDP has influence on the ecological footprint. Given these considerations, the main conclusion of the research is that, although the level of welfare, quantified using GDP, changes positively, this change is due to the increased life expectancy, life satisfaction, reduced ecological footprint rather than to changes in income levels.KEYWORDS: indicators, GDP, HPI, life satisfaction, welfare

HABILITATION RESOURCES IN FAMILIES WITH HEARING IMPAIRED CHILDREN: SUBSTITUTION AND COMPLEMENTATION OF SHORTAGE SERVICES (REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA)
Get PDFHabilitation of children with hearing impairment is becoming an integral part of the education system in Republic of Moldova, which remains one of the poorest countries in Europe. The research data presented in this article show that accessibility to education for children with disabilities is full of contradictions. The research focuses on the ongoing reform of special education and assesses the adaptation of democratic values in education from the perspective of habilitation. The families involved in this research were low income full families who had a school age children with hearing impairment, lived in an urban environment of the big city and experienced shortage of services for their children. The assumption was taken, that in search for solution these families tend to compensate for the lack of services by self-creating the resources of habilitation. Results of the qualitative research highlighted two problems: social and economic. The essence of these problems – management of social stigmatization through realization of habilitation resources as a mean to compensate and replenish the lack of services. Research data also revealed the necessity of further construction and conceptualisation of habilitation resources. KEY WORDS: habilitation resources, families of children with hearing impairment, special education, shortage of services
