Cairn Burial of the historical period around Khansaar dam, Toujerdi district of Fars province, Iran
Get PDFIn the historical period, the Fars region in Iran was one of the most important cultural areas in the world, and it is considered the origin of the ancient Achaemenid and Sasanian empires. Although some areas of Sarchahan county have been studied well, no archaeological survey has been conducted there until the construction of Khansaar Dam and rescue operations in its area. As part of an archaeological survey in the Toujerdi district of Sarchahan county, 92 cairn burials were found. According to the survey conducted in five areas around Khansaar Dam, the distribution of cairn burials, commonly known as Khereftkhaneh, has been identified. From Pakistan to the west of Iran, this type of burial method can be observed, and the burials of Toujerdi region can be considered associated with burials from the Parthian and Sasanian periods.In the historical period, the Fars region in Iran was one of the most important cultural areas in the world, and it is considered the origin of the ancient Achaemenid and Sasanian empires.

Study of Pottery Technology in Kura-Araxes Culture of Astanakroud 2 Site of Kojur County Using Petrographic Method
Get PDFThe pottery samples under investigation in this study include the findings of the Astankroud 2 Site in the Kojur region of western Mazandaran Province. The site was uncovered during an archaeological survey of the region in 2010 and has been thus far the easternmost site of Kura-Araxes. Considering the importance of discussions concerning the characteristics of this culture and the reasons for its spread in a vast geographic area extending from the southern coast of the Caspian Sea to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, 15 pottery pieces of Kura-Araxes were subject to petrographic study in order to determine the mineralogy structure of the pottery recovered from Astanakroud Site. The experiments on these pieces were conducted using a polarizing microscope (James Swift) at the Petrographic Laboratory of the Institute for Protection and Restoration of Works affiliated with Cultural Heritage Research. According to the results of experiments, it was revealed that all the pottery had been locally produced. A petrographic study of Astanakroud pottery reveals that the pottery has been produced using soil resulting from erosion of geological structure in the northern part of the Kojur region (with volcanic structure) that has been washed up by natural currents traversing the valleys of Nimvar, Avil, and Kouhpar to the foot of the site.The pottery samples under investigation in this study include the findings of the Astankroud 2 Site in the Kojur region of western Mazandaran Province.

The State of Philippine-Iran Bilateral Relations, Maximizing Values, Human Potentials and Shared History
Get PDFThe Philippines and Iran are two important players in the geopolitical transition of Asian and the Pacific region. The geopolitical values that these two countries held over many decades exposes them to rivalries and competition among regional and international powers. In some part of history, they became a closed ally to the United States, while regime change in Iran in the late 1970s had created some sort of difficulty for both countries to improve bilateral relations amidst normalization. This paper therefore seeks to investigate existing domestic and external factors that can help explain the underdeveloped state of their bilateral relations. In doing so, the paper advances the idea that although the Philippines and Iran are sovereign and independent countries, the course and direction of their relation since the post-1979 event was heavily affected by the US policy vis-à-vis the Philippines and Iran.The Philippines and Iran are two important players in the geopolitical transition of Asian and the Pacific region.

DETERMINANTY DOCHODÓW WŁASNYCH GMIN WOJEWÓDZTWA LUBUSKIEGO W ŚWIETLE WYNIKÓW MODELOWANIA EKONOMETRYCZNEGO
Get PDFThe local development of municipalities is a process taking place in a specific place and time. One of the most important measures of this process is the own income of municipalities, proceeding from the sources within the territory of a given local government. Their level depends to a large extent on internal determinants related to the nature of local economic activity. However, the impact of external and spatial determinants has to be taken into account as well. This paper reviews the literature dealing with determinants influencing the own income of municipalities and presents the results of an empirical case study of the Lubuskie Province. For the purpose of the study spatial econometric methods were used. On the basis of the data for 1999-2020, panel models of the own income of municipalities in the analysed region with spatial autoregression of the explained variable (SAR) and spatial autocorrelation of the random component (SE) were estimated. Both models were compared with the classical model estimated by the least squares method. The results of the research indicate the existence of a number of correlations between the own income of municipalities in the region, the examined explanatory variables and the spatial factor.Rozwój lokalny gmin jest procesem odbywającym się w określonym miejscu i czasie. Jednym z ważniejszych jego mierników są dochody własne gmin, pochodzące ze źródeł znajdujących się na terenie danego samorządu. Ich poziom jest uwarunkowany w dużej mierze przez determinanty wewnętrzne związane z charakterem lokalnej działalności gospodarczej. Pomijać nie można też wpływu na nie determinant zewnętrznych i przestrzennych. W artykule dokonano przeglądu literatury na temat determinant wpływających na dochody własne gmin oraz przedstawiono na przykładzie województwa lubuskiego wyniki badań empirycznych w tym zakresie. Na potrzeby badań zastosowano metody ekonometrii przestrzennej. Na podstawie danych z lat 1999-2020 oszacowano modele panelowe dochodów własnych gmin badanego województwa z autoregresją przestrzenną zmiennej objaśnianej (SAR) oraz autokorelacją przestrzenną składnika losowego (SE). Oba modele porównano z modelem klasycznym estymowanym metodą najmniejszych kwadratów. Wyniki badań wskazują na występowanie szeregu zależności dochodów własnych gmin regionu względem rozpatrywanych zmiennych objaśniających oraz czynnika przestrzennego
KOOPETYCJA I “KOOPETYCYJNOŚĆ” JAKO RELACJA I MOŻLIWOŚĆ PARTNERSTWA POWIATOWO-GMINNEGO
Get PDFThe article presents a brief baseline review of the current state of research on coopetition, including local government, which still largely constitutes the existing research gap. On the basis of a case study, an analysis of district-municipal coopetition of the Kozienice district and municipality was conducted as an optional partnership relation between 2010 and 2021. The triangulation of research methods was applied: quantitative analysis of statistical data and official documents of the district and the municipality, qualitative research, the Author\u27s participant observation. As a result of the research conducted, the ability to act based on co-opetition, the Author coined a new term, i.e. "co-opetitiveness", which refers to the relation between the resource potential of the district and the municipality. It has been found that the previous forms of co-opetition (financial, property and social capital) were mutually beneficial, still have unused potential and at the current level of analysis there were no threats of increasing the scope of co-opetition.Artykuł prezentuje skrótowy i bazowy przegląd aktualnego stanu badań nad koopetycją, w tym samorządową, która nadal stanowi w znacznym stopniu lukę badawczą. Na podstawie studium przypadku analizie poddano koopetycję powiatowo-gminną powiatu kozienickiego i gminy Kozienice jako fakultatywną relację partnerstwa w latach 2010-2021. Zastosowano triangulację metod badawczych: analiza ilościowa danych statystycznych i dokumentów urzędowych powiatu i gminy, badania jakościowe i obserwację uczestniczącą autora. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań określono zdolność do koopetycji nazwaną przez autora nowym określeniem, czyli „koopetencyjnością”. Zależy ona głównie od relacji potencjałów zasobowych powiatu i gminy oraz od cech osobowych burmistrza i starosty. Ustalono, że dotychczasowe formy koopetycji (finansowa, majątkowa i kapitału społecznego) przyniosła obustronne korzyści, posiada niewykorzystane rezerwy i na obecnym poziomie analizy nie ma zagrożeń związanych z jej zwiększaniem
RÓŻNORODNOŚĆ I ROZWÓJ TECHNOLOGICZNY JAKO PRZEJAWY INNOWACYJNOŚCI

Innovation is seen as a key factor contributing to the competitiveness of organizations and the economy, resulting in development. Invariably important research problem is also the diagnosis of factors hindering the conduct of innovative activities. One of the internal conditions influencing innovation are diversity and technical development. Diversity, in other words: teamwork and quality of staff, is a value increasingly desirable by modern enterprises and necessary for their development. However, when combining innovation with technology, it is worth emphasizing that the very concept of innovation can be understood not only as a process involving all activities related to the transformation of an idea or idea into a new product, but also into a new technology along with its implementation. In order to find appropriate, reliable data, it is worth reaching for the indicators that make up the European Innovation Scoreboard 2021 so as to trace the dynamics of the changes seen in the same selected indicators over the course of the last few years. The results obtained in this way give hope for their successful development in the future and the multiplication of attitudes supporting both diversity and development, supporting innovation and creativity. In the modern world, plagued by numerous crises, these are key aspects.Innowacyjność jest postrzegana jako kluczowy czynnik przyczyniający się do wzrostu konkurencyjności organizacji i gospodarki, czego efektem jest rozwój. Niezmiennie ważnym problemem badawczym jest także diagnoza czynników utrudniających prowadzenie działalności innowacyjnej. Jednymi z warunków wewnętrznych oddziałujących na innowacje są różnorodność i rozwój technologiczny. Różnorodność, innymi słowy zespołowość, jakość kadry, jest wartością coraz bardziej pożądaną przez współczesne przedsiębiorstwa i niezbędną do ich nowoczesnego rozwoju. Natomiast łącząc innowacyjność z technologią warto podkreślić, że samo pojęcie innowacyjności można rozumieć nie tylko jako proces obejmujący wszystkie działania związane z przekształcaniem idei czy pomysłu w nowy produkt, a także w nową technologię wraz z jej wdrażaniem. Dążąc do znalezienia odpowiednich, miarodajnych danych do badań, warto sięgnąć po wskaźniki składające się na European Innovation Scoreboard 2021 i prześledzić dynamikę zmian dobranych wskaźników w ostatnich kilku latach. Wyniki otrzymane w ten sposób napawają nadzieją na ich pomyślny rozwój w przyszłości i pomnażanie się postaw wspierających zarówno różnorodność, jak i rozwój technologiczny, wspierających innowacyjność, kreatywność. We współczesnym świecie, trapionym przez liczne kryzysy, są to kluczowe aspekty
ASPEKTY ZARZĄDZANIA MARKETINGIEM MAŁEGO MIASTA PRZEZ SAMORZĄDY TERYTORIALNE
Get PDFThis study emphasizes the importance of town marketing management and the key role of self-government bodies in it. The author also points out the specifics of territorial marketing in the management of a town, as well as the problems that Polish local self-governments currently face in building the image and increasing the attractiveness of towns. A survey was conducted among the students of the preparatory courses of the University of Natural Sciences and Humanities of Siedlce, who presented their opinion concerning the university and the town as a potential place for future study, work and residence. The results of the study were analysed statistically and then the conclusions were drawn. The survey shows that the respondents highly appreciate the University, but at the same time, they do not associate their future with the town of Siedlce, arguing that the town is unattractive and unpromising for them. It has been concluded that local self-governments need to use territorial marketing tools to increase the attractiveness of the town and positioning it on the competitive field.W opracowaniu podkreślono znaczenie zarządzania marketingowego małym miastem oraz istotną rolę organów samorządowych. Autor zwraca uwagę na specyfikę marketingu terytorialnego w zarządzaniu małym miastem, a także problemy, z jakimi borykają się obecnie polskie samorządy w budowaniu wizerunku i podnoszeniu atrakcyjności małych miast. Przeprowadzono ankietę wśród studentów kursów przygotowawczych Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczo-Humanistycznego w Siedlcach, którzy przedstawili swoją opinię na temat uczelni i miasta jako potencjalnego miejsca przyszłych studiów, pracy i zamieszkania. Wyniki badania poddano analizie statystycznej i wyciągnięto wnioski. Z badania wynika, że respondenci wysoko oceniają poziom uczelni, ale jednocześnie nie wiążą swojej przyszłości z miastem Siedlce, twierdząc, że jest to dla nich nieatrakcyjne i mało perspektywiczne miasto. Z wniosków wynika, że samorządy terytorialne muszą wykorzystywać narzędzia marketingu terytorialnego w celu zwiększenia atrakcyjności miasta i pozycjonowania małego miasta na polu konkurencyjnym
DZIAŁALNOŚĆ NA RZECZ PRAW KOBIET Z NIEPEŁNOSPRAWNOŚCIAMI W POLSCE
Get PDFThe text refers to the rights of disabled persons guaranteed by law, in particular the rights of women with disabilities, their state of compliance in practice and finally - a presentation of the advocacy activity of the collective „Article 6” associating activists with disabilities and their allies. The article also includes a synthetic description of the main problems of women with disabilities that are their everyday life. As agreed at the meeting of the UN Committee on the Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2018, the Polish government does little to eliminate these problems. Spreading the idea of equality, freedom and above all anti-discrimination activity is an idea for many NGOs. ’Article 6.’ was the first to organize an event last year, during which an attempt was made to publicize the disability issue in women – the First Congress of Women with Disabilities.Tekst odnosi się do praw osób niepełnosprawnych, w szczególności kobiet, stanu przestrzegania tych praw w praktyce i – w końcu – jest prezentacją działalności rzeczniczej kolektywu Artykuł 6. zrzeszającego aktywistki z niepełnosprawnościami i ich sojuszniczki. W artykule znajdziemy również syntetyczny opis głównych problemów kobiet z niepełnosprawnościami, które są ich codziennością. Jak ustalono w 2018 r. na po-siedzeniu Komitetu ONZ ws. wdrażania Konwencji o prawach osób z niepełnosprawno-ściami polski rząd czyni niewiele, aby wymienione problemy zlikwidować. Upowszechnianie idei równości, wolności, a przede wszystkim działalność antydyskryminacyjna są ce-lem wielu organizacji pozarządowych. Artykuł 6. jako pierwszy zorganizował w ubiegłym roku wydarzenie, podczas którego podjęto próbę prowadzenia publicznego dyskursu na temat kobiet z niepełnosprawnościami – I Zjazd Kobiet z Niepełnosprawnościami
