Przedmiotem rozprawy są dwa teksty Romana Ingardena poświęcone filmowi: krótki fragment książki O dziele literackim z 1931 r., zatytułowany Widowisko kinematograficzne („film”), oraz niezależnie opublikowany w 1947 r. większy szkic Kilka uwag o sztuce filmowej. Dzieło filmowe ujmowane jest w nich w całym systemie fenomenologicznej teorii sztuki, porównywane do innych dzieł (np. teatru czy malarstwa), przede wszystkim zaś do literatury, z którą dzieli wspólne cechy warstwowości i intencjonalności. Stefan Morawski rekonstruuje ten system, a następnie zadaje pytanie o miejsce filmoznawczej refleksji Ingardena na tle światowej teorii swego czasu. W konkluzjach wybrzmiewa, że o ile nie stanowi ona oryginalnych rozpoznań, o tyle w znaczący sposób wpłynęła na dalszy rozwój filmoznawstwa (zwłaszcza w Polsce) i zawiera szereg inspiracji do dalszych badań. (Materiał nierecenzowany; pierwodruk: „Kwartalnik Filmowy” 1958, nr 32, s. 17-32).

This paper aims to investigate three genetically (un)related languages – Indonesian, English, and Javanese – on the taste noun metaphor in classical literature. The article provides a general evaluation of the selected data based on its historical background and the “taste” lexicon from each language. The data was collected from randomly chosen works of classical literature from the 1900–1950 era. The size of the collected corpus is around 250,000 words for each language. The main analysis reveals that there are three general conceptual metaphors (physical experience is taste, emotional experience is taste, cognitive experience is taste) that can be specified into sub-metaphors. The results show that the Indonesian language uses taste words more productive than the two other languages, which is also reflected in how the language applies the taste noun in metaphorical expressions for conceptualizing bodily and beyond bodily sensations. Javanese appears to apply the three general conceptual metaphors in a similar way to Indonesian, though not as productive as in the Indonesian language, while English, which shows less occurrence of the ‘taste’ noun, uses it only in expressing non-bodily experiences (emotion and cognition). The findings overlap with the general statement from Lakoff and Johnson (1980) claiming that idea is food and cognition is perception.

The article presents the famous Ukrainian scholar Luiza Olander, who has for many years been thoroughly researching the phenomena, characters, and processes that can be found in Polish literature. She is the author of many dissertations in which she used various (historical, literary, comparative, biographical, and structural) methods to analyze literary phenomena. In her work, Olander uses and develops the concepts of the European founders of semiotics and structuralism. Because of her long-term biographical connection with Volhynia, she has paid special attention to writers from the cultural borderland and examined their works from a comparative perspective. In Olander's work, the most outstanding figures of Polish literature are considered in a very broad European cultural context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artykuł jest analizą zmian pozycji studiów nad samorządami lokalnymi w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej w głównych nurtach nauki europejskiej. Autorzy odwołują się do teorii rozwoju zależnego (Wallerstein, Prebish) zastosowanej do nauki, traktując Europę Środkowo--Wschodnią jako region półperyferyjny. Analiza empiryczna składa się z dwóch części. Pierwsza, o charakterze jakościowym, to przegląd najważniejszych badań porównawczych samorządów europejskich w ostatnim ćwierćwieczu wraz z określeniem miejsca Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej i badaczy z tego regionu. Druga – ilościowa – oparta jest na analizie artykułów publikowanych w renomowanych międzynarodowych czasopismach oraz ich cytowań notowanych w bazie Scopus. Wśród autorów opracowań poświęconych samorządom w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej wyróżnieni zostali autorzy lokalni oraz „kolonizatorzy” – badacze pracujący w uniwersytetach krajów Europy Zachodniej i Ameryki. Analiza obejmuje 14 krajów Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej (wszystkie nowe kraje członkowskie UE oraz kraje bałkańskie – Albanię, Macedonię i Serbię).

The article discusses the key theories, concepts, and notions used in comparative research into intergenerational social class mobility. More specifically, it discusses the Featherman, Jones, and Hauser hypothesis about cross-national similarity in social class mobility, describes a distinction between absolute and relative social mobility, and presents the Erikson-Goldthorpe-Portocarero class scheme. After discussing the results of both classical and recent studies on intergenerational social class mobility, this paper deals with the evidence-based policy recommendations relevant for decision-makers who can influence within certain limits the extent to which the rate of intergenerational social mobility can be equalised.

An idea of a military government or a pro-democratic coup d'état seems to be completely out of the typical democratic consciousness. This paper attempts to analyze the support for the presence of the military in politics in Poland. Such attitudes are marginal, shared by a small minority of the society. Respondents supporting military rule come from lower social class backgrounds and have lower level of education, usually live in villages or small towns. Such issues as (perceived) lack of order in the country and conservative, authoritarian, strong egalitarian and statist attitudes were linked to opinions supporting military rule. Such views are also typical for proponents of the political right. Comparative analyses in other European countries point to similar attitudes. Military rule and military intervention are turned down even if the social status of military is high. The support and rejection syndrome is correlative in most countries surveyed. Only the relation with the social dimension of democracy is differential and dependent on the country. The results point to the matching image of democracy in European countries and also to the similar pattern of support for non-democratic institutional alternatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is an analysis of the changing role and position of research on local governments in Central and Eastern Europe in the mainstream European studies. The article refers to dependency theory (Wallerstein, Prebish) applied to scientific research. It classifies Central and Eastern Europe as a half-periphery of academic research. Empirical analysis consists of two parts. The first - qualitative - is a review of the most important comparative studies of European local governments and includes discussion of the role of local governments and researchers from the Eastern part of the continent in those studies. The second - quantitative - is based on an analysis of articles published in the best international journals and citations of those articles in the Scopus database. The authors of articles on local governments in Central and Eastern Europe are divided into two groups: "locals" and "colonisers" - i.e. academics from Western universities conducting their research in Eastern Europe. The analysis covers 14 countries of Central and Eastern Europe (all the New Member States that have joined the EU since 2004 plus the Balkan countries - Albania, Macedonia and Serbia).

Niniejszy artykuł w sposób krytyczny omawia najnowsze badania na temat ruchliwości społecznej, koncentrując się na wydanej w 2014 r. pracy amerykańskiego ekonomisty Gregory’ego Clarka. Tematyka artykułu wychodzi od omówienia wyników wybranych badań porównawczych nad międzypokoleniowym dziedziczeniem zarobków i wykształcenia, by następnie przedstawić główne założenia teorii Clarka i omówić jego innowacje metodologiczne, zastosowanie których doprowadziło go do sformułowania gruntownej krytyki dotychczas prowadzonych badań nad ruchliwością społeczną. W dalszej części artykułu omówiono wybrane badania nad skutecznością programów mających poprawić osiągnięcia szkolne dzieci pochodzących z rodzin o niskich dochodach oraz nad odziedziczalnością osiągnięć szkolnych. Wyniki tych badań zdają się potwierdzać wnioski Clarka dotyczące uniwersalnie niskiego poziomu ruchliwości społecznej oraz jej odporności na przemiany instytucjonalne. W podsumowaniu zwraca się uwagę na nowy stosunek pomiędzy ruchliwością społeczną a poziomem społecznych nierówności wyłaniający się z omówionych badań oraz na związaną z tym potrzebę zredefiniowania celów egalitarnej polityki społecznej.

Translation of Questionnaires in Cross-National Social Surveys: A Niche with its Own Theoretical Framework and Methodology The paper describes the niche of questionnaire translation in cross-national surveys and its characteristics (theoretical framework and scholarly reflection, methodology, practice of questionnaire translation), indicating some gaps to be filled by future Translation Studies research in this subfield.

A philological edition of Rozmyślanie przemyskie and the Czech Život Krista Pána The goal of the paper is to evaluate the editorial decisions made by the editors of the only transcribed philological edition of Rozmyślanie przemyskie (the so-called Freiburg edition), by confronting it with the text of Život Krista Pána, a Czech apocrypha preserved in several copies the oldest of which dates back to the first half of the 14th century. The basis for the analysis are materially and linguistically similar fragments of both apocrypha. The presented survey not only validates or questions various editorial decisions, but also once again shows that a transcription of an Old Polish text is to a considerable extent its interpretation, and that designing such a transcription is an unusually difficult task which requires a large amount of work and a specific set of skills.

Recent years have witnessed major demographic changes in the Polish society. It is clearly vis- ible that the birth rate has been continuously falling down, which, obviously, affects the function- ing of schools in this country. However, a smaller number of children is not used to create less numerous classes, thus offering students a chance to learn in a more comfortable environment. The number of pupils in classes remains constant, but the number of only children in them increases significantly. The author of this article studies this particular group of students in an attempt to de- termine if there are any differences in the functioning of children with and without siblings in the areas of their ego states, transactions and time structures.

Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje wyniki dwóch badań dotyczących turystyki wegan polskich i zagranicznych. Zbadano ich preferencje wypoczynkowe, hierarchię potrzeb oraz opinie o usługach turystycznych. Zagadnienie to nie było dotąd poruszane w literaturze i ma charakter niszowy, mimo że obserwuje się wzrost liczby osób wybierających wegański styl życia w Polsce i za granicą. Badania przeprowadzono w listopadzie 2013 (Polska) i październiku 2014 r. (26 innych państw) z zastosowaniem metody sondażu diagnostycznego i techniki ankiety CAWI (computer aided web-based interview). Grupy badawcze liczyły odpowiednio 223 i 115 respondentów. Wyniki badań wskazują, że zarówno dla polskich, jak i dla zagranicznych wegan jednym z najważniejszych czynników wyboru obiektu wypoczynkowego jest dostępność wegańskiego wyżywienia. Badani gotowi są zapłacić wyższą cenę za pobyt, jeśli obejmuje on odpowiednio dobrane posiłki. W ocenie obu grup badawczych wiedza pracowników branży turystycznej, hotelarskiej i gastronomicznej w zakresie weganizmu jest niewystarczająca, podobnie jak liczba ośrodków wypoczynkowych oferujących wegańskie wyżywienie. Badania mają charakter pilotażowy i w przyszłości zostaną przeprowadzone z udziałem większej grupy respondentów.(abstrakt oryginalny)

Cel pracy. Celem pracy było poznanie istotności różnic subiektywnych ocen aktywności fizycznej u kobiet zróżnicowanych ze względu na przejawiane zainteresowania sportem i ich stan cywilny. Materiał i metody. W badaniu uczestniczyło 158 kobiet, w tym 82 studentki z wychowania fizycznego, 32- z pedagogiki i 44- kobiety z Irlandii. W badaniu wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. Technikę stanowił kwestionariusz ankiety, opracowany na potrzeby niniejszej pracy. Wyniki. Analiza porównawcza ocen aktywności fizycznej u studentek SWPW i kobiet z Irlandii pozwoliła zaobserwować znamienne różnice w kilku jej aspektach. Okazało się, że studentki SWPW znamiennie częściej niż kobiety z Irlandii podejmowały zróżnicowane farmy AF. Irlandki istotnie statystycznie częściej niż studentki SWPW, uczestniczyły w zajęciach fitnessu i pływania, bo "poprawia stan zdrowia". Zróżnicowanie badanych ze względu na ich stan cywilny wykazało, że kobiety niezamężne istotnie statystycznie częściej niż zamężne uczestniczyły w AFW mniej popularnych jej formach (tenis, nurkowanie, jazda konna, sporty walki itp.). Wnioski. 1) Studentki wychowania fizycznego istotnie statystycznie częściej niż ich koleżanki z Pedagogiki podejmowały zróżnicowane farmy AF i wyżej oceniały możliwości jej uprawiania. 2) Irlandki znamiennie częściej niż studentki SWPW, uczestniczyły w zajęciach fitnessu i pływania. 3) Kobiety niezamężne istotnie statystycznie częściej niż zamężne uczestniczyły w AF w mniej popularnych jej formach na świeżym powietrzu.(fragment tekstu)

Purpose/thesis: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issue of information literacy (IL) in view of French-Polish comparative research on information users. In the first part of the paper the similarities and differences in Polish and French approaches to information literacy are analyzed from the perspective of higher education. Next, the results of research conducted among doctoral students at the University of Warsaw and the University of Lille are presented. Approach/methods: Three methods were used: survey, nonparticipant observation and elements of grounded theory. The research tended on the one hand to verify the hypothesis on a low use of scientific journals by doctoral students, and on the other hand to answer the question what librarians and faculty should do to increase this use. Results and conclusions: Two major factors were identified: (1) the lack of specialized library instruction addressed to doctoral students (in the case of Poland) and (2) the lack of promotion/ dissemination of such instruction among doctoral students and lecturers who could encourage their students to participate (in the case of France). Research limitations: The response sample may be perceived too small to be representative for both universities: the method of identifying the field of studies may be disputable; the question if the universities in Lille and Warsaw are comparable might be posed. Practical implications: lhis study might help librarians understand users' needs and define the gaps in the library offer. It also highlights the importance of the IL education in the university environment. Originality/value: This is the first study of its kind and the first comparative study conducted after the implementation of Bologna Process. It identifies the issues that might be considered and implemented by the libraries with the main one being the reinforcement of the role and importance of IL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Opracowanie traktuje o systemie informacji turystycznej w Międzyzdrojach oraz podejmuje próbę porównania jego stanu pod względem jakości w ciągu czternastu lat. Wyniki opracowane w artykule wpisują się również w kompleksowe badania nad systemem informacji turystycznej na wyspie Wolin, przeprowadzone na początku lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku, omówione i opublikowane w artykule Szymandy (1995). Rozwijanie problematyki poruszonej w opracowaniu wydaje się bardzo zasadne i potrzebne, ponieważ jest ona elementem całości systemu rekreacyjnego, który wywiera istotny wpływ na efektywność wypoczywania.(fragment tekstu)
