popular among conservative voters and the Catholic church In a survey conducted last year, when asked to name the biggest threat to Poland the most popular answer among men under 40 was “the LGBT movement and gender ideology” who is allied with the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) also vowed to oppose gay marriage or adoption by gay couples which he described as part of “a foreign ideology”

materials included in the CRMA a contributor to the European battery materials supply chain Mkango's Pulawy project is expected to play a role in establishing a secure European supply chain for neodymium which are used to make electric vehicles and wind turbines On February 17, the company signed a land lease agreement through its Polish subsidiary It facilitates the construction of a rare earths separation facility in Puławy The proposed facility aims to produce 2,000 metric tons per year of neodymium and praseodymium oxides plus 50 metric tons per year of dysprosium and terbium oxides Lanthanum cerium carbonate will also be produced at the site Pulawy will benefit from expedited permitting processes under the CRMA ensuring that Poland’s regulatory authorities adhere to a maximum 15 month timeline for processing and refining projects The project will also gain access to coordinated support from the European Commission facilitating financing opportunities and connections with potential offtakers Mkango is focused on developing sustainable sources of rare earth elements as well as leading in recycled rare earth magnet production through its subsidiary which focuses on rare earth magnet recycling in the UK and Germany which specializes in long-loop rare earth magnet recycling Euro Manganese's Chvaletice manganese project aims to become a major supplier of high-purity manganese for the European battery industry The CRMA lists high-purity manganese as a strategic raw material essential for electric vehicle batteries and the broader clean energy transition The Chvaletice project stands out as a waste-to-value initiative focused on reprocessing old mine tailings rather than developing a new mine The project represents the only sizable manganese resource within the EU positioning Euro Manganese as a key player in the region’s battery materials supply chain Chvaletice will benefit from streamlined permitting processes and access to financial support from institutions such as the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development It will also be eligible for funding from the European Development Fund and Cohesion

“bonjour” written on the wall in many languages: “guten tag,” “hello,” “buenos días.” There used to be the Polish “dzień dobry” as well — but it got painted over during a recent renovation we will bring ‘dzień dobry’ back!” said Diego Mercier But while it shouldn’t be too difficult to repaint the greeting re-establishing a good relationship between schools in Douai and the Polish town of Puławy could prove more problematic — especially after the Polish municipality signed an anti-LGBTQ pledge counties and regions have signed similar declarations and charters several European towns have ended twinning partnerships with their Polish counterparts the European Commission rejected grants for six Polish towns under a citizens’ program for twin municipalities linking the decision to the anti-gay declarations “Many citizens wrote letters to me saying how stunned they were about Puławy’s decision I really couldn’t sit and do nothing” — Frédéric Chéreau the rule of law and respect for human rights including the rights of persons belonging to minorities are fundamental EU values,” Equality Commissioner Helena Dalli told POLITICO in a statement “These principles must be applied transversally to all EU funding.” Decisions like that are putting a real price on the largely symbolic anti-LGBTQ declarations with many international cultural programs and youth exchanges suspended or canceled where many Polish people emigrated between the wars to work in the mines It’s had a twin partnership with Puławy in Eastern Poland since 1996 said he’d found out about Puławy’s declaration and decided to freeze the partnership I really couldn’t sit and do nothing,” he told POLITICO His immediate decision was to withhold invitations for Puławy’s officials to Douai But he didn’t exclude that future exchanges between two high schools would also be suspended “It’s unbelievable to declare a town an LGBT-free zone,” he said But he also stressed that schools had enjoyed a “perfect” partnership for four years “I hope we’ll get there to separate the youth exchange and the exchange between two cities,” he said The headmaster of the high school in Puławy “We have put a lot of work in this exchange,” she said “We should divide the exchange of young people from the [municipality’s] declaration,” she said the Dutch town of Nieuwegein also cut its ties with Puławy The trend of towns making anti-gay declarations was sparked by a decision last year by Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski to sign a city charter pledging support for LGBTQ people PiS and conservative organizations said that such initiatives would allow activists to “smuggle LGBT ideology into school” and will “sexualize children.”  In response to Warsaw’s liberal mayor many smaller Polish towns — usually governed by right-wing mayors — staked out anti-LGBTQ positions Some endorsed the “Regional Charter of Family Rights,” drafted by the right-wing Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski signed a city charter pledging support for LGBTQ people | Radek Pietruszka/EFE via EPA The charter doesn’t mention LGBTQ explicitly but calls for the “protection of marriage being a union of a man and a woman,” which is already safeguarded by the Polish constitution and says that public funds shouldn’t be spent on “projects that undermine the constitutional identity of marriage.” The statement endorsed by Puławy states that the town will aim to “stop the ideology promoted by the LGBT subculture.” The city council won’t allow special provisions to help LGBTQ students and will protect public officials According to the Atlas of Hate project the towns and regions that have signed some sort of anti-LGBTQ document cover one-third of Poland’s territory Puławy says its declaration “doesn’t trigger any specific actions” against the gay community “There has been no violence in the town,” said a spokesperson in which he argued Puławy “was the object of the media and political attack” and that there’s “no law discriminating against people because of their origin political opinions or sexual orientation.” That stance is creating painful financial consequences Six Polish towns — the Commission didn’t name them — won’t get extra funds from a town twinning program Commissioner Dalli said the rules of the program are “very clear.” They state that it should be accessible “to all European citizens without any form of discrimination on grounds of sex “It is my responsibility to ensure that EU values are respected in all our work and in all EU funds,” she added “It is our duty to protect European citizens from discrimination Inaction was not an option and would have made the European Commission complicit.” Poland’s Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro called Dalli’s decision “groundless and illegal” and said the Commission had a duty to respect the traditions and views of member countries He’s asked Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki to intervene in Brussels “It is my responsibility to ensure that EU values are respected in all our work and in all EU funds” — Commissioner Helena Dalli reportedly one of the six towns that didn’t get the grant the town’s mayor asked the local council to reconsider its anti-gay decision “One can’t calculate this image loss. It’s not just €18,000 that we’re losing,” Mayor Magdalena Marszałek told Polish TVN24 television adding she fears the town’s international partners “won’t treat Tuchów seriously.” “We won’t have an annual meeting of twin towns … we won’t have the meeting But Andrzej Głaz, head of Tuchów’s local council, isn’t backing down. “I pity those EU actions. I’m waiting until somebody there wises up,” he told the NaTemat website “One can live poorly but with dignity,” he added Local leaders say they urgently need more funds to address housing crunch and build schools warning that Warsaw’s proposed reforms are merely cosmetic The country hasn’t faced energy shortages despite the war — but power companies have taken a major hit The plan aims to rapidly find alternative sources of energy while ramping up energy savings and renewables Rare earth mining company says it will support plant in Poland UK-listed rare earth mining company Mkango Resources has unveiled a partnership with the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) to develop the rare earth separation plant in Pulawy The company said in a statement that the plant would be supplied with rare-earth carbonate originating from Mkango's Songwe Hill primary deposit of rare earth elements in Malawi It also noted that the plant could process other materials supplied by third-party providers and act as a future European hub for rare earth elements separation The Puławy project will aid the creation of a secure supply chain option for neodymium which are critical for the region's energy transition said that while it is the body's responsibility to secure raw materials for Europe it cannot do so without collaboration with partners "The Puławy project is one of the first ERMA projects to get the green light to provide critical raw materials needed to fulfill European goals in the green transition while diversifying the supply chain in the long term," Gasparon said chief executive officer of Mkango Resources said the company would support the ERMA's creation of a more diverse raw materials value chain In December Mkango Resources said it had begun the hydrometallurgy plant pilot for the Songwe Hill Rare Earths project in Malawi Caterpillar suspends Russian manufacturing each focused on a key discussion point for the mining sector brought to you by the Mining Magazine Intelligence team The ESG Mining Company Index report provides an in-depth evaluation of ESG performance of 61 of the world's largest mining companies it assesses each company across 9 meticulously weighted indicators within 6 essential pillars A comprehensive review of exploration trends and technologies highlighting the best intercepts and discoveries and the latest initial resource estimates Aspermont Media is a company registered in England and Wales Breaking news for everyone's consumption Very high levels of sodium nitrite have been detected in samples of meat sent for analysis as part of investigations into the death of one person in Poland The National Veterinary Research Institute in Puławy examined products provided by investigators They are suspected to be behind the death of a 54-year-old from Ukraine and the hospitalization of two other people director of the veterinary institute in Puławy told local station Radio Lublin that the concentration of sodium nitrite ranged from 16,000 to 19,000 milligrams per kilogram of product It is believed the substance was added to the products by mistake Nitrite is added to certain foods to prevent the growth of Clostridium botulinum Scientists also examined meat provided by investigators Although trace amounts of sodium nitrite were found the concentration was not dangerous to humans Other results from the analysis for a range of other substances are still pending Two people are facing charges in connection with the incident who sold pig meat products they made at home at the market The Government Centre for Security (RCB) warned people not to eat meat from unverified sources bought at a market in Nowa Dęba in Tarnobrzeg County over one weekend in February due to a health risk  The District Prosecutor’s Office in Tarnobrzeg is also investigating the incident (To sign up for a free subscription to Food Safety News, click here.)

institute decided to bring their rare albino cousin to join the other inhabitants of the palace gardens For now the white bird is living in the aviary but will be released to run free as soon as it

LUT emphasized that investing in education in the field of artificial intelligence is crucial in the face of the growing importance of this field He emphasized that companies are increasingly using machine learning and AI technologies to solve complex problems and make strategic decisions – Entrepreneurs are looking for technologies and tools that not only generate knowledge but also optimize it – added the scientist Faculty of Management of Lublin University of Technology introduced a new field of study: artificial intelligence in business emphasized that this field of study is a response to the needs of the labor market and the development of the socio-economic environment – Our goal is to prepare graduates to effectively support modern enterprises that increasingly use machine learning and AI technologies – said the dean One of the main assumptions of the new field is a strong focus on the practical education of students but also practitioners from companies will share their knowledge The idea is not only to familiarize students with the theory but also to familiarize them with people who may be their future employers analysis and optimization of business decisions they will be able to create business models evaluate them and adapt them to the real needs of entrepreneurs president of the Puławy Science and Technology Park shared information about increasingly closer cooperation with Lublin University of Technology with particular emphasis on the developing area of artificial intelligence: – Our cooperation has been going on for several years As AI becomes an integral part of business life there is an increasing need for specialists in this field The Puławy Science and Technology Park sees AI as a key element in the development of its startups which is why it plans to use the knowledge and skills of students and graduates of LUT there is a lot of talk about the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market and there are concerns about automation and robotization which may potentially replace some positions Bartosz Przysucha: – AI cannot act on its own because it is only a statistical model Humans play a key role in the entire process Although certain processes can be automated there are always people behind them who program the algorithms and supervise the operation of AI as many as 95 million jobs will be created using AI in the next two years This situation is reminiscent of similar challenges that occurred in the 1980s and during the industrial revolution there were also fears that developing technologies would put people out of work but history shows that the labor market evolved and developed dynamically - recalled Dr from the Faculty of Management recalled situations that took place in the 1980s and 1990s: – Back then computers were supposed to put all accountants out of work Today we know that computerization has made this profession more accessible and cheaper the same will happen with artificial intelligence Paweł Pawlik from AGH University of Krakow and Konrad Kania from LUT shared information on the use of artificial intelligence in identifying faults in machines The three-year cooperation between the two universities has resulted in an innovative solution revolutionary method that allows you to diagnose machines without the need to train models on data from faults This solution has great potential for use in industries such as heavy industry This method can be successfully implemented into existing monitoring systems expanding their functionality and enabling local operation - explained Prof Konrad Kania pointed out two key challenges related to the development of artificial intelligence: – The first is the problem of the relationship between AI and copyright law legal issues arise regarding the use of existing works in creation processes The second challenge is to develop new methods that will enable more effective implementation of AI technology in business artificial
