Several subtypes are described as well. The research draws on 2010—2019 (2020) statistical data from the European Statistical ...

In the former case, local authorities counteracted spatial diffusion by restricting movement in the local labour market; in the latter, by limiting travel between the centre and the periphery. The traditional ideas about positive (openness, centrality) and negative (closedness, peripherality) characteristics of space are reversed in the context of the pandemic: periphery gains the benefit of natural protection from the pandemic, whilst centres ...
The two-party tendency in Poland’s political system: manifestations, causes and prospects
... several researchers have come to a conclusion that an embryonic two-party system emerged in Poland in the mid-2000s [3, p. 592]. Yet, at first, such an idea seemed premature and lacking evidence. The then experience of party formation and the historical traditions of Polish political culture cast doubt on the thesis about the establishment of an institutionally sustainable party system, not to mention its two-party version. The conclusion was made that it was early to speak about a bipolar system and ...

Comparativistic analysis of the two texts, that are storywise close to each other, not only allows to trace Karamzin’s psychological tradition in Baratynsky’s poem "Eda", but gives grounds to make a broader conclusion: with "Poor Liza" the Russian literature started to explore the most subtle emotional moves in human soul showing them as a process, and the tradition ...

The study of the denominational space of countries and regions is important due to the significant influence that religious institutions have on cultural, socio-economic, and political processes. Traditional Christian denominations continue to predominate in Europe, despite the secular trends, observed especially among the indigenous population.

These laws serve as the basis for critique, which is aimed against the critique of reasoning and is of logical nature. However, according to Jungius, it is not traditional but mathematical logic — which he interprets inthe manner of constructivism — that should be the instrument of critique. Traditional logic is a reflective science and thus cannot serve as the basis for the whole system of knowledge. It ...
A Königsberg society of friends without Kant
... Kant’s friends have been known since the times of his first biographers and other contemporaries. However, there were other communities of friends in Königsberg. Gathering friends at a dining table for the purpose of intellectual communication became a tradition in Königsberg in the 17th/18th centuries. This tradition created a sub-system of creative communication and leisure bringing together both nobility and aristocracy and ordinary curious citizens. The reasons behind this phenomenon were the geographical,...

The outcome was a swift reconfiguration of Russian transport capacities, initially centred on the Baltic direction. These capacities were promptly employed not only for connections with Europe but also for the vigorous transportation ...
Three Russian Baltic regions in the context of confrontation between Russia and the West

There is a viewpoint that in the global context, the current conflict between Russia and the West is driven by the rise of radical left-liberal elites in the West, while Russia, in this situation, seeks to reclaim its traditional position as a liberal-conservative centre in the international relations system [21]. According to some authors, Russia’s value agenda aligns closely with the values embraced by representatives of European right-wing movements. This presents ...

Most joint ventures benefiting from the advantageous coastal position and the well-known neighbourhood effect carried on their operations; the construction of new facilities fostered growth in the cargo handled by Baltic seaports. The severance of traditional international trade ties, which occurred in 2022, created a situation where Russia’s Northwest, for the first time, was a laggard rather than a front-runner in terms of economic performance. To a significant extent, this resulted from ...

According to this tradition, societal security is about the survival of a community as a cohesive unit. Societal insecurities arise when “communities of whatever kind define a development or potentiality as a threat to their survival as a community” [1].
