UL: Our publications

Check out the reports on the implementation of the Publishing Fund and the 2024 Conference Travel Grant Fund. Both programmes were funded from funds at the disposal of the Vice- Rector for Research.

Why do plants migrate and in which direction? Is it caused by global warming? With what speed do they move?

There’s a lot going on at the University of Wrocław Press and we want to keep you informed!

In our series #MondayswithWUWr, we keep you up to date with the most important events, book news and issues important to the Publishing House! We also encourage you to follow the wuwr.eu website and the Publishing House’s social media – Fb, LinkedIn and Instagram.

Climate change is widely perceived as a negative phenomenon. The sudden, heavy rains and violent floods recently seen in various regions of Europe, the melting of ice caps or the rise of sea levels are just a few of its effects. However, climate change can also facilitate the movement of plants into new geographical regions, where due to the change of conditions they can find new, suitable habitats.

The journal Comptes Rendus Paleovol published an article co-authored by dr hab. Adrian Marciszak, professor of University of Wrocław, from the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the University of Wrocław, on the analysis of the rich paleozoological material of mustelids from the well-known, Bavarian site in Hunas. The text is also co-authored by dr Brigitte Hilpert and dr Dieta Ambros from the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany.

In his day, Fidel Castro was fond of referring to the American constitution, and the Cuban Revolution would find followers among the American people. Kennedy initially wanted “a peaceful revolution” but then he endorsed attempts of overthrowing the Cuban government.

Can keeping a healthy diet lead to a pathology? How social media can influence nutrition habits and what increases the risk of orthorexia? We are discussing the issue with prof. dr hab. Anna Brytek-Matera, a specialist in the field of orthorexia nervosa and eating disorders, the author of the first scientific monograph about orthorexia nervosa in the world, Orthorexia Nervosa: Current Understanding and Perspectives, published by Cambridge University Press.

An article titled ‘Enhancing Crossflow Dynamics through the Gas Injection from Multiple Cylinders’ has been published in the prestigious International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer by University of Wrocław physicists: dr Sahrish Batool Naqvi and dr hab. Maciej Matyka, prof. UWr, along with Sadia Siddiqa (University of Ulsan, Republic of Korea), Rama S. R. Gorla (Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, USA) and Md. Mamun Molla (North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh)

A quiet homemaker, occasionally forced to wrestle without any rules. An avid vegetarian, for which he paid the ultimate price. An object of worship whose smell could be smelled from miles away. We talk about the Pleistocene cave bear inhabiting the Bear Cave in Kletno – because it is the bear in question – with dr hab. Adrian Marciszak, prof. UWr.

How did Polish inventors contribute to Allied success during World War II? Was Polish poetry of interest to American workers of Polish descent and why did “impossible names” hinder the integration of Poles in the United States? – About this and many other interesting questions concerning the Polish American community, we talk with prof. dr. hab. Joanna Wojdon, author of Polish American History after 1939, published by Routledge.

Space-time symmetries are a key component of fundamental physical theories, such as classical and quantum electrodynamics, or general relativity theory (classical gravitational field theory). The most fundamental of these are described by the Lorentz group (for a non-zero cosmological constant this generalises to the de Sitter or anti-de Sitter group), preserving the value of the speed of light c. On the other hand, if we consider the so-called Galilean limit, in which c goes to infinity, we reduce the theory in question to classical Newtonian physics, where time is absolute.

The University of Wrocław participated in the EU-funded EDUPART project, offering distance learning courses in the field of public policy and public administration via Teams app (February-May 2024)
