The surface water temperature in the Baltic Sea has been growing as a consequence of broader changes of the Earth’s climate, which contributes to the proliferation of natural bacterioplankton and new types of bacteria, such as Vibrio vulnificus, in the region. This pathogenic bacterium finds optimal conditions for growth primarily in warm brackish waters. Places particularly vulnerable to these bacteria include shallow Baltic coastal waters where the proliferation of Vibrio strains increases in summer. The growing temperature of coastal waters boost this phenomenon, posing a serious threat to human health and the coastal Baltic tourism. The BaltVib project implemented by marine microbiologists investigates the impact of the so-called “system engineers”, e.g. mussels, macroalgae, and seagrass, on the diversity and abundance of vibriosis. The research should help to develop strategies to mitigate the problem of excessive populations of vibriosis through nature-based solutions. In addition to environmental and health issues, public awareness of the phenomena and future threats are equally important and these are also addressed in the project. The article presents results of a survey conducted on the Polish coast involving 140 respondents interviewed concerning their awareness of the increasing population of pathogenic vibriosis. The survey helped to diagnose how local residents perceive the threat to human health posed by Vibrio vulnificus now and in the future, as well as possible impacts these bacteria might have on economic use of the coastal waters. The survey also investigated the level of acceptance for various methods used to mitigate negative environmental changes.

How to design objects intended for isolation of persons sentenced to imprisonment? The answer to the pervading question is unclear and remain the cause of deliberation of generations of architects. Incarceration facilities throughout the centuries took on the varieties of forms, from dark dungeons, through prison ships, concentration camps to electronically operated, super-maximum security prisons or rather humane Scandinavian prisons. The practice of designing detention facilities has undergone countless modifications. The changing process was mainly due to alteration of culture, technology, criminal law, penitentiary thought and the economic situation of particular regions. Recent centuries have altered the approach to punishment, penitentiary institutions came to light, as well as the concept of resocialization. The desire of a bloody revenge has been replaced with a wish to positively influence and improve the personality of the inmate. The architecture of prisons has become an essential element of the educational impact on prisoners. Consciously designed space affects the mood and behavior of people living in it, it can provide a sense of security, anxiety, can also stimulate action. In prison setting it additionally sets boundaries between what is available, what internal and external, private and public. Polish detention facilities were flooded with detainees that prevents the personnel from performing their duties effectively, which results in the regression of efficiency of the rehabilitation actions. Poor condition of national prisons and detention centers is an additional disadvantage. It is therefore necessary to build new penalization units, satisfactorily designed in terms of mechanism, function and resocialization. In order to achieve that goal, an analysis of the influence of security policies and supervision principles on the architecture of rehabilitation premises should be conducted. In the current literature dealing with the mentioned matter, there is a void that I will try to fill, to a certain degree, with my doctoral thesis.
