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.

The changing number of school-age children is forcing modern states to adapt the education system to the needs of the population. The state must offset the negative effects of the baby boomers, but it must also be prepared for the arrival of the demographic low. The challenges facing the education system in Poland for the coming decades are due, among other things, to the projected decline in the number of children and young people.

The rapid growth of freight transport and the changing economic, political and environmental conditions have brought a number of significant changes to the European Union’s transportation policies in recent years. These include issues such as improving the energy efficiency of vehicles, implementing intelligent traffic control systems and optimizing logistics chains. Transport corridors are playing an increasingly important role in achieving these goals and building European cohesion. This article systematizes the history of the creation of corridors, focusing on the Rail Baltica and Baltic-Adriatic routes running through Poland and the Mazovian Voivodeship.
