Distribution and parameters of avalanche tracks on the slopes of asymmetric ridge of Babia Góra Mt. (1725 m a.s.l. – the highest massif in the flysch Western Carpathians) were studied in relation to slope relief, prevailing wind directions, snow cover thickness, treeline and timberline locations. The following sections of avalanche tracks were dist...

Background: Residence in public housing, a subsidized and managed government program, may affect health and healthcare utilization. We compared healthcare use in the year before individuals moved into public housing with usage during their first year of tenancy. We also described trends in use. Methods: We used linked population-based administra...

Many data-intensive applications collect (structured) data from a variety of sources. A key task in this process is record linkage, which is the problem of determining the records from these sources that refer to the same real-world entities. Traditional approaches use the record representation of entities to accomplish this task. With the nascence...

Background: Self-harm is prevalent in prison populations and is a well-established risk factor for suicide. Researchers typically rely on self-report to measure self-harm, yet the accuracy and predictive value of self-report in prison populations is unclear. Using a large, representative sample of incarcerated men and women, we aimed to examine th...

Chapter
Mt. Babia Góra (1725) is the highest homoclinal ridge in the flysch section of the Western Carpathians, notable for its W–E orientation and structural relief dominated by deep-seated landslides. The most elevated part of the ridge is built of the resistant Magura sandstone, which overlies less resistant older flysch formations. The relief of Mt. Babia Góra is indicative of multi-stage geomorphological development of the ridge from the Late Miocene to the Holocene. The study area has a zonal diversity of relief, with the ridge-top areas above 1400 m asl being the only ones in the Western Flysch Carpathians that penetrate into the subalpine zone. The element that dominates the relief of Mt. Babia Góra is the upper part of the main ridge, which rises above the belt of spring hollows. It is marked by asymmetry in the distribution of landforms, which are different on the precipitous northern slope and the gentle southern slope (penestructural slope). The upper part of the northern slope, where gradients exceed 40° and locally reach 70°, features elements of glacial and nival relief, remodelled landslide forms, periglacial covers, as well as couloirs, torrential fans, and debris flows, which have been preserved to varying degree. The varied relief of the upper part of the northern slope makes this area of Mt. Babia Góra similar to areas with high-mountain relief. The relief of Mt. Babia Góra, which has been only lightly transformed anthropogenically, is one of the elements of nature that were taken into account when the Babia Góra National Park was proposed to be listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
