The importance of rural parks for the occurrence of the Rook Corvus frugilegus in the eastern part of the Lublin region (E Poland) – ecological and social factors
No full textKitowski I.: The importance of rural parks for the occurrence of the Rook Corvus frugilegus in the eastern part of the Lublin region (E Poland) - ecological and social factors. Ekologia (Bratislava), Vol. 32, No. 3, p. 283-298, 2013. This study deals with the population size and the distribution of breeding colonies of the rook in rural parks in the eastern part of the Lublin region (Eastern Poland). Large parks with a large number of tree species were appropriate sites for larger rookeries. Small, degraded parks, with few species of trees, were used by smaller rookeries, which showed tendencies to disappear more quickly. Small colonies were irrevocably abandoned if disturbed by man, whereas large ones had a very high reoccupation potential, even after a few years. Unfortunately, ownership changes concerning rural parks in Eastern Poland may endanger the rookeries located there

No full textCelem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie w jaki sposób Józef Ignacy Kraszewski zaprezentowal zwalczające się siły - chrześcijańskie i pogańskie - w swej powieści historycznej Masław, której fabuła nawiązuje do wydarzeń reakcji pogańskiej XI wieku.

W tekście jest także mowa o innych powieściach z cyklu Kraszewskiego Dzieje Polski, które w jakiś sposób nawiązują do omawianego tematu oraz o źródłach historiograficznych, które Józef Ignacy wykorzystywał w swej pracy (kroniki Anonima zwanego Gallem, Wincentego Kadłubka i Jana Długosza).The aim of this paper is to present how Józef Ignacy Kraszewski depicted two opposing sides of the medieval event known as the pagan reaction in his historical novel Masław.

Kolizje samolotów z ptakami na lotniskach cywilnych w Polsce – znaczenie czynników ekologicznych w zarządzaniu ryzykiem
No full textThe analysis concerned the ecological aspects of 191 aircraft bird strikes at Polish airfields in 2006–2009. Of the identified birds, collisions most often involved swallows and martins, Eurasian kestrels, and gulls. The species with the highest weight involved in bird strikes were the mute swan and the white stork. Bird strikes were more frequent during the landings than during the take-offs. Birds most frequently hit the engines and fuselages of planes. The highest proportion of bird strikes occurred in July and August (41.0%). Those bird strikes during which multiple structural elements were simultaneously hit most often (92.0%) took place in the June– September period.W pracy przedstawiono analizę ekologicznych aspektów 191 kolizji ptaków z samolotami na lotniskach cywilnych w Polsce w latach 2006–2009. Spośród zidentyfikowanych ptaków najczęściej kolizjom z samolotami ulegały: jaskółkowate Hirundinidae, pustułki Falco tinnunculus oraz mewy Laridae. Gatunkami o największej masie, które zderzyły się z samolotami, były łabędź niemy Cygnus olor oraz bocian biały Ciconia ciconia. Kolizje z ptakami były częstsze niż podczas startów. Ptaki najczęściej uderzały w silniki i kadłuby samolotów. Największy odsetek wszystkich odnotowanych kolizji przypadał na lipiec i sierpień, w sumie 41%. Natomiast najwięcej kolizji ze stadami ptaków było w okresie czerwiec – wrzesień
