Macroeconomic determinants of agricultural preferential investment credit in Poland
No full textIn the paper the impact of macroeconomic determinants on the number and value of agricultural investment preferential credits in Poland is examined. This kinds of determinants are of an exogenous character and they cannot be controlled by individual farm. They are related to economic growth, price level changes, monetary policy, inflation, changes in foreign trade conditions. The econometric analysis showed that macroeconomic environment influenced farmers’ credit decisions at number and value of taken credits. The statistically significant variables in the case of these measures were the index of price relations of sold agricultural products to goods and services purchased by private farms (“price gap”), interest rate of central bank and real interest rate paid by farmers. Somewhat surprisingly, neither rate of GDP growth nor real effective exchange rate affected the scope of credits. In the case of GDP rate, the result can suggest that farmers expectations does not depend on current phase of business cycle. The reason of luck the influence of terms of foreign exchange can be explained partly by relatively low share of agricultural products in foreign trade turnover.preferential credit, farmers, macroeconomic determinants, Agricultural Finance,
Alina Ashbrook letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, October 19, 1914
No full textAlina Ashbrook, a resident of Mingo Junction, Ohio, sent this letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association on October 19, 1914, to request campaigning materials for her town. She had visited Columbus and had heard about advertising balloons which would be used to endorse women's suffrage, and wanted to display them in Mingo Junction as well.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Force of Nature: Alina Scholtz and the Empowerment of Women on Mid-Century Landscape Design
No full textTo answer the question of women’s empowerment in mid-century landscape architecture, this essay will focus on the legacy of the “mother founder”1 of Polish landscape architecture, Alina Scholtz admitted for her immense independence and involvement at work.Scholtz was a designer and educator, serving as a professor of landscape architecture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. Her diverse portfolio ranged from palace gardens to housing estates and playgrounds. Her realisations were changeable in time, as a living matter of plants, which are led by the sun and water, create an architectural mass and systems of components in the urban landscape.From the beginning, landscape architecture, similarly to interior design, was treated as a “decorative” addition to “prime” architecture.2 Women dominated the discipline. Over the course of her career, Scholtz has worked with many aspiring women architects, landscape architects and urban planners whose names are unknown. Alina Scholtz was an exception to the rule. She was the leader of the landscape architecture team strongly feminised - in the „Zieleń” („Greenery”) studio at the Biuro Odbudowy Stolicy (BOS)3. She made major contributions to the International Federation of Landscape Architects4 and the SARP5 conferences, promoting the value of greenery designs in reconstructing cities after WWII and advocating Poland’s opinions on the subject on a global scale.The methodology will include an analysis of the documents belonging to archives of the BOS in Warsaw, the Landscape Architecture department, archives of the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław, archives of the Frederyk Chopin Museum in Żelazowa Wola and National Archive in Warsaw, Otwock section, an interview with the Centrala Group, Małgorzata Kuciewicz and Simone De Iacobis, who were responsible for the exhibition on Alina Scholtz in Warsaw, in 2022, and study of photographs, official correspondence as well as letters to the Scholtz family and drawings and publications related to the subject.1 Czerniewska-Andryszczyk, Klara, Ewa Perlińska-Kobierzyńska, Natalia Budnik, Małgorzata Kuciewicz, Simone De Iacobis.

Political withdrawal among immigrants and refugees from non-democratic regimes. the case of Romanians in the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania metropolitan area of the United States
No full textThis dissertation is an ethnographic study of a community of Romanian immigrants and refugees who spent decades under one of the most repressive Eastern European communist regimes before resettling in the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania metropolitan area of the United States. The study articulates the mechanisms through which their experience of political repression has led to political withdrawal in the United States. Romanian immigrants and refugees have experienced both communist and post-communist Romanian politics as intrusive and destructive of community ties. Romanian politics reached beyond Romanian borders, infiltrated the émigré community in the United States, and gave rise to suspicions, political accusations, and arguments. These struggles have eroded Romanian churches and organizations, as well as people’s sense of a shared civic life. Romanian immigrants and refugees have also experienced American foreign policy toward Romania as harmful and unresponsive to their needs: in their view, it has been driven by strategic and economic reasons rather than a genuine concern for democracy in Eastern Europe. Thus, Romanian immigrants and refugees have developed a negative understanding of politics. For them, politics is contentious. It is corrupt and invasive, and drives people apart instead of bringing them together to identify common goals and work as a group to attain them. As a result, most Romanian community leaders steer their churches and organizations away from political discussions and concerns and focus on “apolitical” (i.e., ethnocultural) activities and events. A few Romanian community leaders engage in politics, but they do so from an “independent” position in order to avoid affiliation with political parties or interest groups.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Alina Vaman
