Emerytowani pracownicy naukowi – okoliczności towarzyszące przejściu w stan spoczynku
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Maksymowicz, Agata
In today’s world, particularly in Europe, the issue of aging is of significant interest for social researchers. Increased life expectancy, advances in medicine, and declining birth rates mean that we live in an increasingly aging society. The subject of this article is the circumstances surrounding the retirement of academic employees from universities in Krakow. This particular stage of a person’s life signifies the end (often gradual) of what is usually a several-decades-long professional career. How do retired scholars perceive this period, is the decision to retire made independently by the scholars themselves, what assistance do they receive during this special time, and how do they prepare for this new stage of life? These questions are part of a broader research project conducted by a team of four staff members from the Faculty of Humanities at AGH University of Krakow.

Od fabryki butów do fabryki wiedzy. Przykład przekształceń funkcjonalnych i społeczno-kulturowych terenów (dawnej) garbarni Buchholza w Bydgoszczy
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Jeran, Agnieszka; Muszyńska-Jeleszyńska, Dominika
The area in the bend of the Brda in Bydgoszcz, which is the portion of the district Okole, now occupies the campus of the University of Economy in Bydgoszcz, food company Colian Sp. with o.o. Bydgoszcz (formerly »Jutrzenka« Colian, Division No. 3) and the newly arising Nordic Haven (residential and commercial property). These are inner city brownfields located at the confluence of the so-called Old Bydgoszcz Canal and the River Brda, the stretch of Solidarity Bridges towards the Bridge of Queen Jadwiga. History of the district Okole is directly related to the economic development of Bydgoszcz, which occurred in connection with the construction of the Bydgoszcz Canal and later a major rail line and the location of large industrial plants. These projects were aimed by the German authorities to improve the Bydgoszcz junction of water-rail-road, as an internal communications center. Based on the conversion of functions of this area will be illustrated the conversion of industrial space in academic and recreational space. The idea and the main assumptions adopted revitalization activities are based on a holistic, integrated approach to the revitalization process. The objective of the planned work and regeneration was the restoration and development of the center-functions, including the continuity of the historical heritage associated with this area. Because degraded shoe factory buildings were taken over and revitalized by a college, it can be concluded that these areas still function as productive. But whereas previously, in the industrial economy and in accordance with the standards of industrial society, it was the production and distribution of products, now in the knowledge society it is making knowledge, or rather the enrichment and development of human capital and also its distribution in the minds and activities of graduates.
