Crisis situations such as catastrophes, natural disasters, armed conflicts and others pose a threat to different values. The author presents various definitions of a crisis situation found in the literature and concentrates on crisis management which might be treated as an interdisciplinary field of science. In order to achieve efficiency in crisis management one needs to apply a remarkable skill of working under pressure. In crisis situations mainly human life and health, natural environment, economy, spiritual and material values of the state or the region and its inhabitants are threatened and the functioning of state administration institutions may be also impaired. Among the protected values cultural assets seem to be neglected and legal documents in this sphere aren’t being updated. Therefore the author has presented his attempts at providing an analysis of available expert literature and legal acts, and using different research methods (such as comparison, synthesis or reason...

As part of recessionary management, there are bodies as well as other organizations of government and provincial administration subordinated to the governor, and other forces at his/her disposal prepared and concentrated on carrying out tasks in the local area, including the Polish armed forces units and subunits. Security management in an unsafe area is carried out by the leader of the special service, guard or inspection.In the case of other events and competence problems, it is the governor who deals the solution. The procedure of dealing with this management is a decision cycle which includes: the decision phase and stages connected with gaining, changing and using information. The result of this process is supposed to be the decision, the intention and the plan of crisis management as well as the tasks prepared for specific organizations at the disposal of the administrative body.Every decision cycle is divided into four basic, penetrating phases which are connected, the first ...

In most cases, migrants are not welcomed with open arms by the inhabitants of the countries where they arrive. By default, immigrants are viewed as "the source of the problem. "It is obvious that most countries are more likely to accept highly qualified migrants than those who are poorly educated. The poor migrant "from the far south" is seen as a threat to welfare and public order. Currently, populist groups operating in Europe are gaining strength thanks to anti-immigration programmes and slogans. Poland, as a country that is a member of the European Union and is also responsible for a part of the external border of the EU, is of great importance in the migration process, accepting immigrants from Africa or the Middle East on its territory. As a country bordering on Russian-speaking countries, it is also "exposed" to the influx of immigrants from the east, for example from Ukraine or Belarus. This text is aimed at determining the level of the sense of...

This paper aims to indicate how important the issue of occupational burnout is from the point of view of human resource management in the police. This paper defines the research problem as follows: What is the main factor that reduces the effectiveness of policemen’s service and what is the reason for it? Therefore, a very simplified working hypothesis can be formulated: burnout in the service of a policeman is one of the main factors affecting efficiency, and the most important cause is stress. Bearing in mind the above research intentions, it was assumed that their implementation would be possible with the use of theoretical methods (statistical data analysis, synthesis, abstraction, comparison, induction, deduction, reduction and inference). Due to the limited time and scope of the study, empirical methods were not applied directly. A substitute for them is the use of some of the survey research carried out in the past (diagnostic survey). It is also necessary to indicate the nec...

The industrial serious failure causes huge losses within the natural environment and the life of people and animals. The city of Starogard Gdański, in which the Pharmaceutical Plant Polpharma S.A. is located must put great emphasis on well-trained services of the city and the system of the crisis management.

Artykuł odnosi się do wydarzeń masowych, czyli „imprez” o takim charakterze, ale niewymienionych w ustawie o bezpieczeństwie imprez masowych. Scharakteryzowano w nim kilka rodzajów tego typu wydarzeń oraz dokonano analizy zadań poszczególnych „uczestników” imprezy. W dalszej części tekstu przedstawiono zagrożenia dla bezpieczeństwa uczestników imprez o charakterze masowym powodowane przez celowe lub intencjonalnie błędne kwalifikowanie wydarzeń do innych kategorii niż imprezy masowe. W podsumowaniu wskazano na główne powody takiego postępowania organizatorów, czyli nieprecyzyjne przepisy prawne oraz celowe omijanie i wykorzystywanie tych zapisów ustawowych, a także chęć zminimalizowania „formalności” (dokumentacji, opinii, instrukcji, regulaminów, zezwoleń), a co za tym idzie – nakładów finansowych (np. na obowiązkowe służby informacyjne i porządkowe).

Rozwój różnego rodzaju zagrożeń jest oczywistą konsekwencją wzrostu zaawansowania technicznego. Podział zagrożeń dla ludzi, mienia i środowiska jest różnorodny. Wśród różnych definicji, kryteriów i pojęć znajdują się także takie, które odnoszą się do bezpieczeństwa infrastruktury krytycznej. Po przeanalizowaniu dostępnej literatury można dojść do wniosku, że jednym z zagrożeń, jakie pojawiło się stosunkowo niedawno, a wydaje się być istotnym i „rozwojowym”, jest zagrożenie ze strony bezzałogowych statków powietrznych, powszechnie zwanych dronami. Bezzałogowy statek powietrzny (z ang. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), w swej najprostszej definicji, jest maszyną, która nie wymaga do lotu załogi obecnej na pokładzie, nie ma możliwości zabierania pasażerów i jest pilotowana zdalnie lub wykonuje lot autonomicznie. W rzeczywistości sam statek powietrzny potrzebuje do działania dodatkowych zasobów i urządzeń. Urządzenia te wzajemnie się komunikują i umożliwiają statkowi wykonanie powierzonego mu z...
