The article includes an analysis of the development of the information society, made by means of two measures. First, a summary index of information society development, which was created for the districts of Mazovia. Second, digital exclusion, which was analyzed by both municipalities and counties of the Mazovian region. The summary indicator used 6 variables, grouped into 3 components: technological, economic, socio-cultural. The sub-indices were calculated using the method of distance from the benchmark, while the summary index was calculated using the Perkal method, with the application of specific weights. The results of the analysis confirm the basic division of the province in many other socio-economic fields. The most developed districts in this regard – are units centered around the city of Warsaw, along with cities with county rights.

With the changing criteria for parametric evaluation of scientific journals, we were forced to narrow down the circle of our interests. Given the specificity of the publisher, which is the Mazovian Office of Regional Planning in Warsaw, and due to the patronage of our journal by the Mazovian Voivodeship Government, we decided to limit ourselves to the new field of social science, which is the science of public policy (public policy). Those interested in more details about what this new science deals with, I refer you to a very interesting article by Jerzy Woźnicki, New discipline – “public policy science” situated in the field of social sciences, published in No. 1 of the journal “NAUKA” in 2012. In our pages we will mainly publish articles on issues related to the broad mission of science and local governments for the development of local communities.

Human life is a biological, psychological and spiritual process. In the material dimension as well as in the spiritual dimension, the drama of the human being is played out, from conception to natural death. The experience of spiritual life shows a different way of reaching the maturity of the “age” of the soul. The soul does not age, but rather matures, constantly expanding the scope of its knowledge, values, experience

A complex sol-gel method – CSGP (Polish Patent 172618) was used to synthesize silica glasses for immobilizing high-level radioactive waste. The role of radioactive elements was played by Cs, Sr, Co – added in the form of nitrates, while neodymium was a surrogate for actinides. As a result of hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions taking place in a solution containing tetraethoxysilane and metal nitrates, where ascorbic acid served as a catalyst, gels were obtained in the form of powders and compacts.

This article is a voice in the discussion of whether a suburban municipality is a place of identification for its residents. In it, the author presents the results of a survey conducted in the suburban Piaseczno municipality, to which Varsovians are eager to migrate. It turns out that the municipality, where intensive processes of suburbanization are taking place, does not constitute for its residents a place on which they would like to build their own identity, which is not particularly surprising given the peculiarities of the Piaseczno municipality: proximity to the capital, a significant percentage of immigrant population, strong internal differentiation, high spatial mobility, a specific lifestyle of new residents. As a place of identification, most choose the locality of residence, but there are also those who feel strong ties with Warsaw.

The acceleration of changes in industrial structure is a result of the current global crisis. To some extent, these modernizations can substitute for the lack of quantitative expansion in production, and can generate demand that otherwise would not have occurred at all. It is noteworthy that more permanent jobs are being created mainly in industry, which provides an opportunity to reduce unemployment. In Europe, the industrial structure has the most obsolete elements, and its modernization has been slower than in the US, Japan and other Southeast Asian countries. The result of this phenomenon is Europe’s industrial lagging behind the US and Japan.
