The following paper analyzes how the experience of sailing shaped Jack London’s life and works. On the one hand, the paper recounts those events from the writer’s biography which contributed to his emotional attachment to the sea and created a realistic background for his texts. On the other hand, it focuses on a selection of London’s works—“Typhoon Off the Coast of Japan”, “Chris Farrington: Able Seaman”, The Sea-Wolf, and Martin Eden—in order to investigate how the experience of sea and sailing affects a character’s morality/personality, and to examine how the chosen narratives reflect and preserve London’s own memories of life on board.

A widespread alarm is sweeping the world at present about the ill effects of man-made increases in carbon dioxide (CO2 ) production. One aspect is that it may cause the ocean to become acid, and dissolve the carbonate skeletons of many living things including shellfish and corals. However, the oceans are not acid, never have been in geological history, and cannot become acid in the future. Changes in atmospheric CO2 cannot produce an acid ocean. Marine life depends on CO2 , and some plants and animals fix it as limestone. Over geological time enormous amounts of CO2 have been sequestered by living things, and today there is far more CO2 in limestones than in the atmosphere or ocean. Carbon dioxide in seawater does not dissolve coral reefs, but is essential to their survival.

Sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea became a key topic for the negotiations since the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro. Ocean change is now the most significant threat facing humanity, especially those living in coastal areas. The possible and already observed loss of territory, and thus sovereignty of the submerged states, is not the only legal consequence of ocean change happening now, in the 21st century. Another factor is the downsizing of Exclusive Economic Zones, which implies political tensions between the neighboring countries, both sovereign and dependent territories of the former colonial powers. France is present in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean via its overseas collectivities. Thus, instead of being at the 45th position in the world’s ranking of the ocean powers, the Republic of France comes in the second position, straight after the United States of America. This high and indeed precious position, both geostrategically and economically, affects its views toward the United Nations negotiations process on biological diversity beyond national jurisdiction.

“Together, protecting marine biodiversity: know how to act” was the French governmental conference organized by three ministries in Paris on 12 March 2020. Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, Ministry of Agriculture and Alimentation, and Ministry for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition along with two research think tanks, Ifremer and OFB have organized the “day of biodiversity”. Participants were mostly researchers, governmental and local officials, business leaders, fishermen, representatives of associations and foundations, all from France. Thus, the language of the conference was French. The conference took place in the 13th century Collège of Bernardins, a former Cistercian college of the historic University of Paris. Experts and audience shared reflections and discussions on major research issues on ocean change, as well as the French position towards global maritime policy in order to find proposals for sustainable management and protection of the ocean.

Geographical words referring to water, such as river, stream sea or lake, have been used in language since the earliest. As water is considered essential for life in general, the names of water reservoirs and watercourses became popular and frequently used items in all languages. The present study is focused on the English names of natural water reservoirs (sea, lake) and watercourses (river, stream) and their regional spread in the 12th–15th centuries. The Old English names of watercourses and natural water reservoirs, sӕ, flod and ea, either survived in Middle English in a modified form or were (rarely) replaced by loanwords as the effect of the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th century. The research is concentrated on texts selected from the Innsbruck Corpus of Middle English Prose (Marcus 2008), with some material coming from the OED and MED. The analysis will show the extent of the loss of the original Anglo-Saxon words or their spread, frequently with a modified meaning. The analysis will also include the statistics of the terms in question in prose texts representing the chief dialects of the period. As regards the method, the present author makes use of the traditional semantic theories (e.g. Lyons 1977) and the prototype theory (e.g. Geeraerts 1997).

W niniejszej pracy przedstawiamy jak ważnym jest proces wdrażania celów zrównoważonego rozwoju w kontekście problemów związanych z oceanem. Pokazujemy, że ocean jest jedną wielką, wzajemnie współzależną całością i dlatego wszelkie procesy, zachodzące w szerokim znaczeniu oceanu, mają wpływ na każdy z celów, a z kolei jakiekolwiek działanie w obrębie któregokolwiek celu ma wpływ na ocean. Twierdzimy, że szeroko rozumiane działania edukacyjne, dedykowane wszelkim grupom wiekowym i społecznym, jak również podejście interdyscyplinarne są podstawą do sukcesu we wdrażaniu idei zrównoważonego rozwoju w skali od lokalnej do globalnej.

In this work we discuss the importance of the application of sustainable development goals (SDGs) to all aspects which are related to the ocean. We argue that the ocean is interconnected and processes which are related to the ocean have direct impact on all SDGs, and any action undertaken within any of the SDGs will have an impact on the ocean. We believe that widely understood education of societies can ensure the proper understanding and hence implementation of the sustainable development idea throughout the world.

Suburban zone is an extremely conflicted area exposed to very dynamic changes. Popularity of the suburbs increases every year. The rapid increase of population density and net migration from cities to rural areas changes the spatial, aesthetic and social character of these areas. Hence, it is a very important task to manage the suburban areas and to adequate planning for the environmental protection and development. A tool that can be used for this purpose is the landscape valorization. There are many methods of landscape valorization, therefore, they should be used skillfully by selecting the most important elements and rejecting those that may unfavorably affect spatial evaluate, maintaining the most objective approach.
PL
Strefa podmiejska jest obszarem niezwykle konfliktowym, na którym dochodzi do bardzo dynamicznych zmian. Z roku na rok tereny podmiejskie stają się coraz bardziej popularne. Gwałtowny wzrost gęstości zaludnienia oraz rosnące saldo migracji z miast na tereny wiejskie powodują zmianę charakteru tych obszarów pod względem przestrzennym, estetycznym i społecznym. Dlatego też bardzo ważnym zadaniem jest zarządzanie strefą podmiejską i odpowiednie planowanie dotyczące ochrony jak i kształtowania jej krajobrazu. Narzędziem, które można do tego celu wykorzystać jest waloryzacja krajobrazu. Metod waloryzacji jest bardzo dużo, dlatego też należy stosować je w sposób umiejętny, wybierając elementy najważniejsze oraz odrzucając te, które mogą niekorzystnie wpływać na ocenianą przestrzeń, zachowując jednocześnie podejście jak najbardziej obiektywne.
