Increased development in rural and urban areas leads to a decrease in tree cover and reduces the ecosystem services that trees provide. Municipal authorities must consider managing trees on private land to ensure that residents have access to trees and green spaces. In doing so, they must frequently confront conflicting stakeholder views, which are driven by diverse public and private interests and impacted by the type of landscape in question. In this paper, we investigate stakeholders’ views on tree removing on privately owned land, as represented by narratives about tree management in urban and rural municipalities, to assess whether a deliberation process can alter these views. We rely on the theory of wicked problems and apply two measurements by Qmethod in two municipalities in Poland (N = 38 in both cases), with an intervening deliberation session between each measurement. The results reveal that, before the deliberation, narratives were divided mainly around the issue of where the right to decide about tree removing should reside. This division was visible in both municipalities, but was particularly pronounced in the rural one. The division was sharp and straightforward, and was linked with deeply shared values. After the deliberation, the narratives shifted and a new division emerged around the issue of how to organize the decision-making process and decision-making criteria. Moreover, after deliberation, the narratives of participants from both municipalities coalesced to a much greater extent than previously. The results prove that, although wicked problems do not have unambiguous solutions, deliberation processes can influence views and are instrumental in facilitating better informed tree management.

Nieznany polski modlitewnik z oficyny Mateusza Siebeneichera – ostatni taki hortulus?
(Wydawnictwo Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne, 2025) Łukaszewski, Jakub
This article discusses a previously unknown Polish prayer book of the Hortulus Animae type, discovered in the collections of the National Library of Sweden (Strängnäs). It was printed by Mateusz Siebeneicher’s Krakow publishing house and can be dated to the years 1568–1575. The copy bears numerous traces of use and censorship, making it a unique testimony to religious practices and the control of prayer content after the Council of Trent. Typographic and content analysis allowed us to confirm the print’s origin and link it to Siebeneicher’s other works. Particular attention was paid to the Officium Parvum Beatae Mariae Virginis (hours), whose text proved to be similar to the text of Olbracht Gasztołd’s Prayer Book, proving the existence of a common handwritten or printed source. An important element are the so-called indulgence prayers, texts promising the faithful extremely extensive graces and indulgences (often dating back tens of thousands of years). These prayers were at the center of theological disputes and the subject of censorship. The Strängnäs copy contains numerous traces of the deliberate removal of such content in accordance with the council’s decrees, allowing us to trace the practical means by which prayer books were cleansed of prohibited content. The author concludes that the discovered prayer book is the only known Polish hortulus from before the Tridentine reforms preserved in such good condition. This copy attests to both the popularity of indulgence prayers in Poland and the process of their subsequent elimination. Furthermore, it supplements current knowledge about both Siebeneicher’s publishing activities as well as the functioning of prayer books in 16th-century religious culture, demonstrating the continuity of devotional practices despite official censorship.

Hymn globalnego populizmu czy ostrzeżenie przed groźbą totalitaryzacji? Przypadek „Rich Men North of Richmond” Olivera Anthony’ego
(Fundacja "Otaczaj Blaskiem", 2023-10-01) Brzechczyn, Krzysztof
The author interprets "Rich Men North of Richmond "by Oliver Anthony from an American populist way of thinking, whereby it is crucial to juxtapose the candor and straightforwardness of ‘simple’ people with the corruption of the elites. This, in turn, gives rise to wariness of experts and, in the long run, a kind of anti-intellectualism. In addition, the populist world view does not bring clear enough distinctions between various types of social rule, hoisting wealth to the position of society’s only attribute. These themes, mixed with religious undertones, the author argues, can all be found in Anthony’s popular song
