Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to stimulate discussion on the following thesis presented in the article. Anticipating the process of just transition without taking into account demographic changes will incompletely reveal the social and economic effects caused by it. Design/methodology/approach: the research used the method of descriptive and comparative statistics, as well as literature review, critical analysis of literature, document research and comparative analysis. Findings: on the basis of the analyses and research carried out in this article, it can be concluded that in the examined areas of mining municipalities – in the part relating to the stream of labour supply – a dynamic process of ageing of labour resources is clearly noticeable. On the basis of the above conclusion, it seems that the need to subordinate the policies implemented in the city to the indicated process is justified. Originality/value: the entirety of the outlined changes, processes and forecasts indicates that in order to reduce the stratification in the examined areas, which is the main source of structural mismatches, it is necessary to undertake actions aimed at building future-oriented municipal policies – especially with regard to old age. Failure to take such measures in the perspective of social and economic transformation may delay preparation for the seemingly inevitable changes in the age structure of the population living in the studied areas of mining municipalities.
Purpose: the main objective of the article is to support building sustainable development of spa towns by protecting their unique resources. Design/methodology: the theses presented in the article were verified using: critical analysis of literature, document analysis, descriptive statistical analysis. Findings: on the basis of the article it can be concluded that demographic change is an important challenge for numerous areas of public policy, such as family, health care, labour market, social security, education and active leisure. The identified challenges and areas of their impact are part of a broader spectrum of reflection that should focus on a holistic approach to active policies, which are a key determinant of human capital – in which, as forecasts indicate, by 2050 people over sixty-five years of age may constitute 20% of the total population of Europe. Originality: the article enriches knowledge and develops discussion on demographic changes and the resulting great contemporary challenge for environment, institutions and people creating the future of the studied areas, which may turn out to be maintaining the professional activity of the ageing population while building modern active social and labour market policies – corresponding to the economic structure of the studied areas.
Purpose: the main purpose of the paper is to support the sustainable development of the health resort areas by protecting their unique resources. Design/methodology/approach: the research is based on the descriptive and comparative statistical method and literature review, critical literature analysis, documentary research and comparative analysis. Findings: on the basis of the conducted analyses and research it can be concluded that a systematic increase in the living standard of the residents of the researched health resort areas is clearly visible. The key factor that may determine further increase in the living standard of the residents of the areas appears to be the development of knowledge-based economies together with the development of innovative technologies and products as well as efficient management. Originality/value: it should be assumed that the research into health resort area will be based to a large extent on its endogenous conditions and its strategic advantages. The key potential in this area is people and their knowledge, as well as skills, competencies and talents which shape social attitudes and influence behaviour towards the changes taking place, thus influencing acceptability or resistance to them.
W artykule opisano dwie metody badań dynamicznych właściwości elektrostatycznych. Pierwszą z metod jest badanie czasu zaniku ładunku z monitora naładowanej płyty (CPM - Charged Platę Monitor), natomiast druga to nanoszenie ładunku na badany obiekt z symulatora wyładowań skonstruowanego w Głównym Instytucie Górnictwa oraz badanie zachowania się tego ładunku. W artykule opisano badania zrealizowane w GIG. Obiektami były modele układu człowiek - obuwie - podłoga w konfiguracji z różnym typem obuwia.

The article describes two methods of testing dynamic electrostatic properties. The first method is testing the decay time of the charge from the charged plate monitor (CPM - Charged Plate Monitor), while the second method is applying the load to the tested object from the discharge simulator constructed at the Central Mining Institute and testing the behavior of this charge. The article describes research carried out at GIG. The objects were models of the human footwear floor layout in a configuration with different types of footwear.
W artykule przedstawiono wymagania prawne oraz poruszono aspekt bezpieczeństwa w zakresie właściwości elektrostatycznych w strefach zagrożonych wybuchem. Coraz częściej pojawiają się problemy z odpowiednią oceną właściwości elektrostatycznych materiałów i wyrobów z tworzyw sztucznych stosowanych w wyrobiskach górniczych. Wymagania polskiego ustawodawstwa są lakoniczne i nakreślają tylko ogólnie cechy bezpieczeństwa. Ostateczna decyzja wyboru materiałów czy wyrobów zawsze należy do kierownika ruchu zakładu górniczego. Jej wybór powinien być podparty wiedzą naukową.

The article presents legal requirements and raises the aspect of safety in the field of electrostatic properties in potentially explosive areas. There are more and more problems with the proper assessment of the electrostatic properties of plastic materials and products used in mining excavations. The requirements of Polish legislation are laconic and only outline security features in general. The final decision on the choice of materials or products always belongs to the mining plant manager. Her choice should be based on scientific knowledge.
W artykule przedstawiono wybrane wyniki monitoringu wychyleń wieży Szybu II KWK „Borynia-Zofiówka” Ruch „Borynia”. Monitoring realizowany był z wykorzystaniem opracowanego w Głównym Instytucie Górnictwa systemu monitoringu drgań i wychyleń opartego na laserowym czujniku drgań i wychyleń. Zaprezentowano wychylenia zarejestrowane w lipcu 2020 r. za pomocą czujników umieszczonych na wysokości kół linowych oraz na wysokości zastrzału Szybu II. Wychylenie mierzono w kierunkach E-W i N-S. Dokonano analizy wyników monitoringu wychyleń oraz wpływu temperatury na ich wartość.

The paper presents selected results of monitoring of inclination of Shaft II of Coal Mine “Borynia-Zofiówka” Plant “Borynia”. The monitoring was conducted by means of vibration and inclination monitoring system developed at Central Mining Institute which is based on the laser vibration and inclination sensor. The inclination results recorded in July 2020 by sensors placed at the height of the rope pulleys and on the strut were presented. The inclination was measured in E-W and N-S directions. The analyses of the inclination monitoring results and the influence of the temperature on its value were also performed.
