Results
The main result of any population census is the identification of the major trends in population change. In general, in the inter-census period (2011—2021), Poland’s present population decreased. As of March 31st, 2021, it was 37,019,327 people, or 97.2 % of the population in 2011 (38,044,565 people<4>), which slightly differs from the current Eurostat data (Fig. 1).

“Conservative Enlightenment” as “Heroisation of the Present”
... conception of enlightenment is at once ironic and tragic. It is ironic because it does not rule out that its main thesis on the historical maturity of the human being may turn out to be wrong. It is tragic because its main thrust is “heroisation of the present”, i.e. a readiness to resist the temptation of being absorbed by the future, which takes on added relevance in view of the virtualisation of reality.

Another important line of research is the exploitation and reformatting of memorial objects dating back to earlier periods, including the Soviet ...
Social media interfaces as a representation of cultural meanings
A problem of the growing popularity of cross-cultural social media studies is the lack of discrimination between the effects of user characteristics and those of the architecture of a virtual platform interface. This makes the detected cultural differences unreliable. A way to solve this problem is a comparative study of social media interfaces only, seeking to identify the culturally constituted meanings embedded in the design of virtual platforms. These meanings are employed in the users’ virtual...

Migration distances in Russia: a demographic profile of migrants

Calculating the average migration distance allowed us to identify two peaks: one at the ages of 22—23, present only for men, and another at the ages of 50—70. In all other cases, there were no sex-specific differences in migration distances. Migrants who obtained permanent registration at their new place of residence tended to cover greater distances ...

As was mentioned above, such a system is present if two main parties jointly control at least 80 % of the parliamentary seats. In case of Poland, of major importance is the distribution of seats in the Sejm, which is invested with the powers to legislate and form the cabinet. Since 2007, PO,...

Representation of the image of Kaliningrad in the names of guided city tours

The study has shown that such a discrepancy in the image of Kaliningrad is typical because of the dichotomy Koenigsberg — Kaliningrad, the contrast between the German past and Russian present, and the intention to represent Koenigsberg as a city that still exists. The article provides recommendations for overcoming the discrepancy problem.

This is followed by an answer to the following important question. Where and how the loss and subsequent recovery of symmetry ...
