New media technologies allow for the creation and functioning of communities of peoplestruggling with similar problems, who want to obtain help, advice and support. Virtualcommunities provide a space where in the conditions of the bottom-up self-help actions and activities arises for them the possibility to communicate, exchange information, shareexperiences and problems. This causes significant changes for the activity of people withdisabilities in the emerging networked society, within which a new method of informationproduction and flow in being formed with the support of the social media networks,influencing the shape of the society on all levels: from the individual to the organizational.A significant part of social activities undertaken in this environment is transferred intothe network, which on the one hand strengthens its integration, but on the other handmay paradoxically deepen the social isolation of people with disabilities, whose activitieswill not go beyond the virtual space. The primary goal of this article is to show – based onthe analysis of the content of their social media profiles – the advantages and disadvantagesof using the Internet indicated both by people with disabilities and others activelyacting on behalf of this environment.

Nowe technologie medialne umożliwiają powstawanie i funkcjonowanie wspólnot ludzizmagających się z podobnymi problemami, chcących uzyskać pomoc, radę i wsparcie.Wspólnoty wirtualne stanowią przestrzeń, gdzie w ramach oddolnych działań samopomocowychmają oni możliwość komunikacji, wymiany informacji oraz dzielenia sięswymi doświadczeniami i problemami. Przynosi to istotne zmiany dla aktywności osóbniepełnosprawnych w tworzącym się społeczeństwie sieci, w ramach którego formuje sięnowy sposób wytwarzania i przepływu informacji przy wsparciu sieci medialnych, wpływającychna kształt społeczeństwa na wszystkich poziomach, od indywidualnego aż poorganizacyjny. Znaczna część działań społecznych podejmowanych w tym środowiskuprzenosi się dziś do sieci, co z jednej strony wzmacnia jego integrację, z drugiej jednak,paradoksalnie, może pogłębiać izolację społeczną osób niepełnosprawnych, których aktywnośćnie będzie wykraczać poza przestrzeń wirtualną. Podstawowym celem artykułujest ukazanie – na podstawie analizy zawartości ich profili na portalach społecznościowych– na jakie zalety i wady korzystania z internetu wskazują zarówno osoby niepełnosprawne,jak i inne podmioty aktywnie działające w internecie na ich rzecz.

With a focus on the role of geographical factors in economic performance, the main research question of this study is as follows: given that the ongoing crisis in Europe in general and within the Eurozone in particular is felt much strongly in peripheral areas, how and to what extent might geography be relevant to this process? The answer to this question will be searched through historical-comparative approach, focusing on the turning points in the evolution of Europe’s economic and political geography, with particular regard to the key concepts such as “core-periphery dichotomy”, “centres of gravity” and “isolation”. Departing from these concepts, it will be argued that the structural factors, which contribute to the high vulnerability of certain countries towards crisis, are essentially geographical. However, the role of geography and the patterns of peripherality differ from one country to another, as will be demonstrated by means of a particular focus on the case of Greece.
