Związki Królestwa Polskiego z Europą Zachodnią w dziedzinie oświaty i nauki w świetle protokołów posiedzeń RWP w latach 1845-1850

The Council of Public Education was created by the law on schooling of July 15, 1833 and was supposed to take over a number of powers that used to belong to the Government Commission on Religions and Public Enlightenment. During years between the insurrections (1831-1863), scientific and education relations of the Polish Kingdom and Western Europe were radically restricted. It was reflected in the protocols of the Council’s sittings that included only incidental records of cases of Polish scientists and teachers leaving abroad for scientific purposes. In majority, decisions of the Council having to do with international relations at that time concerned purchases of items and exhibits and, less often, of magazines for scientific institutions, as Botanical Garden, Zoological Hall, or Public Library. Records in the protocols are therefore a proof of limited role of the Council of Public Education in the management of educational system of the Polish Kingdom during that period.

Biodiversity of Limestone Caves: Aggregations of Aerophytic Algae and Cyanobacteria in Relation to Site Factors

The most numerous limestone caves are in the smallest national park in Poland (the Ojców National Park). A total of 50 algal samples were collected from ten caves, each having different environmental factors such as light intensity, temperature and humidity. The morphological and ecological variability of cyanobacteria and algae were studied using fresh samples, cultures grown on agar plates, and documented with TEM, SEM and LM. Light microscopic observations showed that aerophytic cyanobacteria were the most important component of the cave′s photosynthetic microflora. Among cyanobacteria, the following genera were frequently encountered: Aphanocapsa, Chroococcus, Gloeocapsa, Leptolyngbya, and Synechocystis. Whereas the green algal genera, Apatococcus and Klebsormidium, often occurred with Chlorella, Muriella, Neocystis and the diatoms, Orthoseira and Pinnularia. Most of the algal species appeared to be cosmopolitan, ubiquitous, had simple nutrition requirements and wide ecological tolerance (they reproduced rapidly and were easily adaptable to new conditions). The cave′s microhabitats offered relatively stable microclimatic conditions and they seemed to be responsible for the observed distribution of aerophytic algae and cyanobacteria. The Shannon-Wiener index (H′) ranged between 4.9 and 3.9, and the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that these differences were statistically significant.
