PRELUDIUM “Management Strategies in Coupled Common Resources – A Game Theory Perspective.”

Project manager: dr Michał Pająk

– science project –

How can we protect the common pool resources? This question becomes increasingly important as we observe intensification of harvesting pressure on many of them, such as ocean fisheries, forests, and water resources. Our approach towards the management of these resources may make a difference between the welfare on the global scale or extreme poverty. Unfortunately, the problem of this kind is not easy to solve. The idea of the “tragedy of the common pasture” indicates that competing users, tend to overuse the resource….

MINIATURE “Analysis of socio-spatial determinants of the phenomenon of energy ageism in Poland in the context of the energy crisis and the consequences of the war in Ukraine“

Project manager: dr Paweł Żuk

– science project –

The phenomenon of energy ageism should be understood as all socially determined and energy policy-related mechanisms that handicap and discriminate against the elderly, reducing their quality of life through limited access to various energy sources, new energy technologies and the benefits of full access to the energy cycle. This phenomenon is related to household economic poverty, but has a broader meaning – it affects people not only with lower economic capital, but also with lower cultural capital….

MINIATURE “Development and validation of a model for measuring expatriate adaptation in Poland”

Project manager: dr Gabriela Strzelec

– science project –

Previous studies have relied on simplistic conceptualizations (e.g., Black et al., 1991; Taft, 1988) or extensive lists of variables (Grove, Torbiörn, 1985; Gudykunst 2005a, 2005b) that are not central to the adaptation process. Moreover, researchers use expatriate adaptation models developed some two decades ago (e.g. Black et al., 1991, Taft, 1977). Therefore, the main objective of the study was established to develop and validate the author’s scale for measuring expatriate adaptation in Poland….
