Polish-German Dispute over WWII Reparations
No full textThis study concerns the dispute between Poland and Germany regarding war reparations for losses caused in Poland in the years 1939 – 1945. The author pointed to the relevant acts of international law. This applies to the so-called Potsdam Agreement, the declaration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (hereinafter referred to as the “USSR”) on the resignation of claims against Germany, the declaration of the government of the People’s Republic of Poland on the resignation of claims, the German unification treaty. As well as in the study, the substantive position that may be presented by Poland was indicated. After the end of the World War II, there was no peace agreement between the defeated Germans and members of the anti-German coalition. This was due to emerging political differences between the victorious states. What is significant in the case is the fact that the Polish war losses were not covered in full. There are reasons to believe that Poland’s renunciation of claims in year 1953 (with effect from January 1, 1954) was invalid

Between life sciences and ethnology. Report from interdisciplinary field studies on public health and impact of tourism in Ethiopia and Islamic shamanism in Kazakhstan
No full textThe author presents scientific achievements of two scientific projects conducted by the Student Scientific Circle of Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of Jagiellonian University in cooperation with the Student Scientific Circle of Institute of Public Health Collegium Medicum of Jagiellonian University which he took part in: “PromoAfryka” and “PromoKazachstan”. “PromoAfryka” was the scientific expedition to Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania (the author was responsible for an ethnological part of the research). The participants took part in the 13th World Congress of Public Health in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and conducted field research on the question of the impact of tourism on traditional culture of 12 tribes settled in lower Omo Valley and nutrition habits of the members of the tribes. The project has won several prizes. The “PromoKazachstan” project consisted in field research on Kazakh shamanism. Doubtless, both projects are fine examples of the key role which can be played by ethnology and its methodology in interdisciplinary scientific projects, as a complementary with life sciences approach

Techniki elektronicznej identyfikacji użytkowników i ich rola we współczesnej komunikacji z instytucjami systemu administracyjnego
No full textPurpose/thesis: The aim of the article is to introduce the issue of electronic identification that takes
place during the communication with the systems of administrative institutions. The author discusses
the most modern solutions ensuring high level of security and allowing for the verification of access
rights to electronic resources, such as certified electronic signatures, trusted profiles and personal
signature and biometric methods (planned to be introduced).
Approach/methods: The study was conducted on the basis of the analysis of literature, provisions,
the reports of the Ministry of Administration and Digitization on the impact of computerization on
Polish administrative institutions and author’ own analysis of the arriving and outgoing correspondence
in the Province Marshal’s Office of Silesia in Katowice. The research also involved the options
offered to users via ePUAP tool.
Results and conclusions: The research identified authentication technologies employed in electronic
communication by public entities using ePUAP tool, that is, the use of login and password as well
as the application of electronic signature or trusted profile. The analysis of legal provisions helped
discuss a personal signature (awaiting the official introduction).The analysis of the literature shows
that biometric methods are getting more and more popular while at the same time being the most
secure ones in the virtual world. The use of electronic authentication is necessary to ensure the security
of information systems in public administration, on the grounds that the authenticated document
is of legal significance. Studies conducted by the author in the Province Marshal’s Office of Silesia in
Katowice have shown that, in the first quarter of 2014, the use of electronic authentication tools in
public administration concerns on average 6.16% documentation sent from the Office and 5.31% of
that received by the Office. The results of the research show that there are numerous barriers faced
by the users of these systems, including lack of knowledge about the capabilities of the system, lack
of comprehensiveness, electronic forms and internal changes in government offices.
Originality/value: The communication with public entities in Poland is governed by numerous laws,
which have been shown in the text. The construction of information systems of public administration
results from the policy of whole country computerization. There has not been any analysis made
so far which tools have been adopted to identify users in these systems, and how the process of
authentication of electronic documents is implemented
