Vocational interests of youth in Ecuador. Inventory of the Occupational Preferences of Youth

Author(s): Mariusz Tomasz Wołońciej,Anna Paszkowska-Rogacz / Language(s): English

Keywords: Ecuador; Ecuadorian youth; career choice; questionnaire IPPJ; Latin American region; INVENTARIO DE PREFERENCIAS PROFESIONALES DE JÓVENES (IPPJ)

This methodologically sound psychometric tool has been handed to Ecuadorian psychologists and teachers as a guide in the career counselling field. The tool will have a significant impact on the democratization of youth, assisting them to make well-targeted choices when planning their education and career.The authors’ study may be viewed as pioneering work, due to its consideration of the significant cultural and geographic regional differentiation among graduates from the Pacific coast, the Andes, the Amazon rainforest and the Galapagos Islands.Reaching to the classics of literature on the subject (primarily Holland, Super, Prediger and Strong), the authors have performed a momentous work, which is the construction of a psychometric tool that will be helpful in diagnosing career interests in the entire population of Ecuadorian youth.Worth additional acknowledgement are the high reliability indicators of the career interests questionnaire conducted on a representative and large study group, as well as the defined psychometric accuracy of the scale.This publication makes a civilizational quantum leap in the education of Ecuadorian youth, guaranteeing them a career choice that corresponds to their interests and ambitions. This pioneering publication on the Polish and world markets confirms the fact that Polish psychologists have the capability to „export” the psychometric school of thought to the Latin American region, with all of the scientific, social and humanitarian consequences involved.

Is the Body the Temple of the Soul? Modern Yoga Practice as a Psychological Phenomenon

Is the Body the Temple of the Soul? Modern Yoga Practice as a Psychological Phenomenon

Author(s): Krzysztof T. Konecki / Language(s): English

Keywords: hatha-yoga; yoga; hatha-yoga practitioners; yoga practice

Hatha-yoga in Western culture is often perceived as the practice of physical exercises (practice of the asana position), usually done to improve one’s health and emotional state. Even if that is the case, it is still based on the rule of “the silencing of the modifications of the mind.” It is about a containment of mind dispersion in terms of non-important, minute, everyday issues, which are not important for the basis of our existence, balance and inner harmony, the unity of body and mind. Even if we train only for our health and for improvement of our physical fitness, then the end result, in the case of many physical and sports activities, is stopping mind movement. The full concentration on one action, on one point in space, might not have any metaphysical meaning for us, but it still remains full concentration. This can be achieved by patiently practicing hatha-yoga.

Towards Female Empowerment. The New Generation of Irish Women Poets: Vona Groarke, Sinéad Morrissey, Caitriona O’Reilly and Mary O’Donoghue

Towards Female Empowerment. The New Generation of Irish Women Poets: Vona Groarke, Sinéad Morrissey, Caitriona O’Reilly and Mary O’Donoghue

Author(s): Katarzyna Poloczek / Language(s): English

Keywords: Towards Female Empowerment; Irish Women Poets; Groarke Vona; Morrissey Sinéad; O’Reilly Caitríona; O’Donoghue Mary; ecological selves, female gender

This monographic study analyses in depth the poetry written by four most significant Irish authors born in the 1970s. Together with insightful interpretations of the explored poetry, it offers a new reading of philosophy, social and cultural studies, and psychology connected with the subject matter of women’s empowerment. The poetry of Vona Groarke studies resistance articulated in historical terms, as resistance against political domination (colonisation). Sinéad Morrissey questions the expressions of political violence in the North, even those that might directly result from the reaction against the officially sanctioned system of domination. Caitríona O’Reilly analyses the fears that may be considered as existential (the passage of time, death, loss) that contribute to the sense of women’s incapacity. Here O’Reilly’s poetry seems to work like an empowering catharsis: imagining the least desired course of action and facing up to these vision. The poetry of Mary O’Donoghue probes two correlated though not synonymous phenomena: women being the actual victims of masculine violence, and the social mechanism of victimisation of women that ascribes to the female gender the “natural” and “established” role of a Victim. The book constitutes a thought-provoking debate on the up-to-date issues that need to be critically re-examined and re-thought these days. It is an inspiring reading for people interested not only in Irish poetry but in modern literature in general.

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Czechoslovak cinema; Czech cinema; Slovak cinema; Polish Cinema; film education; cultural transfer; socialist cinema; film adaptation; film studies

This book is the first monographic study of Polish–Czech and Polish–Slovak cinematic contacts, covering as it does all historical periods from before World War II to the present day. The first part of the book is composed of articles taking a broad look at such topics as the vicissitudes of Polish–Czech cinematic co-operation in the interwar period (Iwona Łyko) and after 1945 (Joanna Szczutkowska), the contact between Polish and Czechoslovak television from the 1950s to 1989 (Jakub Jiřiště), and film education in the three neighbouring countries (Ewa Ciszewska).

Form and Content. Polish and Foreign Radio Documentary and Its Varieties

Forma i treść. Polski i zagraniczny feature radiowy oraz jego odmiany gatunkowe

Author(s): Natalia Kowalska / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Feature;radio reporting;radio documentaries;Radio Free Europe;Radio Liberty;narration;artistic reportage;radio drama

The book is dedicated to radio documentary, also known as feature, which could be described as artistic reportage. The author presents the state of research, explains the terminology, specifies the boundaries of the genre and its varieties. She goes on to outline the history of features and related forms of expression, referring both to Polish and foreign – mainly West European – productions. The reader will be able to find here, for instance, a section on the role of artistic reportage in Radio Free Europe. The publication also contains an analysis of categories such as narrator, actor and radio-drama elements in features.*Studies on radio documentary in the Polish literature on the subject are actually few. I would not like to make evaluative comparisons; however, I have the impression that Natalia Kowalska's book is not only more distinctly oriented in its goals and arguments, but also more complete, comprehensive and exhaustive. It seems extremely useful for consolidating the place of the genre in the Polish reality and as such it currently appears unrivaled. [...] In many respects, it is a pioneering work and, as far as the scope of the subject is concerned, it will undoubtedly become a significant reference point. From the review by dr hab. Jan Zomkowski

The Tenebrous Romanesque of Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon

Le Romanesque ténébreux d’Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon

Author(s): Łukasz Szkopiński / Language(s): French

Keywords: Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon; 19th-century French literature; Gothic novel; popular literature

Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon (1786-1864) is, without a doubt, a true giant of the popular literature of the first half of the 19th century. As one of the most prolific authors of his time, he knew how to adapt to the literary tastes of the public from the end of the Napoleonic era until the fall of the July Monarchy. Firstly, the present study outlines the biography of this now largely forgotten writer, a key factor for understanding his literary career, and it gives an overview of his work. At the beginning of the first chapter, particular emphasis is put on the diary of Lamothe-Langon dating from 1809. Later in the chapter, the reception of Lamothe-Langon’s novels in the press of time and his literary posterity are examined. The following chapter focuses on the analysis of the paratext, an essential factor shedding light on many otherwise hidden aspects of the chosen corpus consisting of the eleven novels of Lamothe-Langon belonging to the Gothic genre. The third part of the book is devoted to the dark but fascinating universe of Lamothe-Langon’s novelistic world characterized by a highly heterogeneous assortment of characters in a spatio-temporal framework defined by a whole range of diverse phenomena proper to the world of Gothic fiction. Finally, an important aspect of the novels belonging to the corpus, namely their hybridity, both formal and generic, is thoroughly examined taking into consideration the intrinsic correlation existing between the analyzed novels and the dominant genres of their period, such as the Gothic fiction, the fantastique, the sentimental novel and the historical novel.

Transparency of university achievements. External stakeholder perspective

Transparentność dokonań uczelni wyższej. Perspektywa zewnętrznych interesariuszy

Author(s): Jacek Kalinowski / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: transparency; universities; financial reporting; accounting; integrated reporting; ESG

Transparency is a concept that is an inseparable element of both colloquial language and many management theories (although it is not always expressed directly as a separate element, feature or function). It can be identified with two aspects: decisions that are usually made within the organization, and the effects of these decisions, i.e. with the achievements of the organization. This monograph focuses on the transparency of the university's achievements from the perspective of its external stakeholders. This focus, in turn, oriented the conducted research on the aspect of informing them about the effects of the university's activities. It is also worth emphasizing that in addition to the traditional identification of transparency with clarity, trust and credibility, it can also be a tool for universities to stimulate and support their development and to authenticate the position of a leader and mentor for the external environment. The monograph is divided into an introduction, five chapters and an ending. The first chapter aims to present the sources of tradition and culture of universities in the world, their impact on society in different historical epochs and to understand, on this basis, the specifics of these organizations functioning. The second chapter concerns the theoretical foundations of transparency in management. The next part of the monograph was aimed at familiarizing the reader with the scope of external reporting of Polish universities. The fourth chapter is an empirical chapter, presenting the results of research carried out for this monograph. The last, fifth chapter of the monograph contains the author's proposal for the information structure of the university's report – in the form of an integrated report on its achievements – covering a standardized scope of information aimed at ensuring full transparency of university achievements in Poland.

Łódź. Essays on literature, space and history

Łódź. Szkice o literaturze, przestrzeni i historii

Author(s): Tomasz Cieślak / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: Łódź; literature of Lodz; geopoetics; urban studies; regionalism

The book is a collection of studies presenting the specificity of the experience of modernity in Łódź against the background of other cities – manufacturing centers of the second industrial revolution in Europe. The publication analyzes the representation of Łódź’s space in literature, from the 1880s to 1939, in literary works written in Polish, Yiddish, German and Russian, which results from the multicultural character of the city. The author takes into account, to a lesser extent, selected recent works. He uses both the most outstanding and forgotten texts, he also reaches for journalistic texts and popular literature. The main idea and compositional axis of the book is the reconstruction of the components of the “Łódź text” (following Vladimir Toporov’s “Petersburg text”). The development of the “Łódź text” is related to the most important events in the history of the city presented chronologically: the revolution of 1905–1907, World War I, and the Great Depression, because they had a decisive impact on building local identity. The “Łódź text”, shaped at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, turns out to be, in the light of analyses, still present and productive for subsequent generations of authors.

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: power; foreign policy; international relations

The monograph analyzes the military, economic and political power of selected countries. It contains case studies especially on those actors of international relations who either aspire to the role of great powers or have come to terms with their rank of "middle power". The potential of the European Union or India predestines them to strive for a place among the most significant actors on the international arena. Japan, Canada and South Korea, in turn, being aware of the limits of their power, focus rather on strengthening the existing international order or balancing between great powers.

The borderline of folklore and popular culture in the metropolitan city of Łódź. From the mid-19th century to 1939

Pogranicze folkloru i kultury popularnej w wielkomiejskiej Łodzi. Od połowy XIX wieku do 1939 roku

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: modernity; urban culture; workers’ songs; newspaper novels; cartoon stories; humor of daily and occasional press

The publications included in the anthology on Łódź workers' folklore, serial novels and satire from the daily and occasional press concern materials collected and interpreted in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. In addition to collections of workers' songs and songs popular among the wider social masses, the anthology contains also satirical texts, newspaper serial novels and cartoon stories, as well as texts of advertisements placed in the press. The articles by specialists and researchers accompanying this content create the necessary cognitive contexts, thanks to which this book tries to fill the not very well-penetrated, several-decades-old gap in reflection on this sphere of the poorly researched metropolitan culture of Łódź. At the same time, it is a popular science book to some extent and does not claim to be comprehensive, nor is it an example of a theoretically unified approach based on the ambition to use the most modern strategies, methods and interpretative assumptions. It is rather an attempt to map the dynamic and fluid phenomenon that was the border between workers' folklore and popular culture in modern Łódź. Therefore, it is a contribution to further research in various fields of the humanities, as well as a creative and educational material, as well as a kind of inspiring text database that can be used by urban culture animators. The anthology therefore presents material for further revealing interpretations.

Impact of corruption on basic macroeconomic variables on the example of European countries

Wpływ korupcji na podstawowe zmienne makroekonomiczne na przykładzie państw europejskich

Author(s): Anna Maria Pluskota / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: corruption; economic growth; investment; entrepreneurship

The paper discusses theories of the impact of bribery on selected macroeconomic quantities. The most important views on the impact of bribery on the economy are presented. Key arguments for both positive and negative effects of corruption on the economy were presented. The author also discussed the topic of the optimal level of bribery. The theoretical arguments for the impact of bribery on the economy were supported by a review of studies conducted on the impact of corruption on selected macroeconomic variables. The concept of non-linear effects of corruption on basic macroeconomic quantities can well reconcile the theoretical arguments postulating the negative impact of bribery on the economy and the possibility of positive effects of bribery on the economy. On the one hand, it is significant that controlling bribery promotes economic growth, encourages investment, attracts new technologies, and consequently leads to poverty reduction. On the other hand, it is a fact that the complete elimination of corruption is not possible, and theories about the possibility of positive effects in economic terms of corruption are reasonable. The dispute over whether bribery harms or supports the economy is perhaps the most significant dispute presented in the literature on the impact of corruption.

Aus dem evangelischen Pfarrhaus in Lodz und Umgebung: Die Literatur der evangelisch-augsburgischen Dichterpfarrer 1839-1939. Eine kommentierte Anthologie

Aus dem evangelischen Pfarrhaus in Lodz und Umgebung: Die Literatur der evangelisch-augsburgischen Dichterpfarrer 1839-1939. Eine kommentierte Anthologie

Author(s): Monika Kucner / Language(s): German

Keywords: Lodz; XIX century; XX century; literature; religion; German minority; evangelicals

Within several dozen years, a society with extreme social contrasts emerged in Lodz, in which the ethnically foreign (German and Jewish) bourgeoisie played the leading role. Two strata dominated in the city, the aforementioned bourgeoisie and the workers. Somewhere on the fringes of society there were still a limited number of intelligentsia. The middle class, which included petty industrialists, civil servants and representatives of the so-called liberal professions such as doctors, teachers, journalists, lawyers and writers, also existed to a small extent. But Lodz needed such people who would have been an important carrier of social development and a stabilizing force. This group includes people who care about the spiritual and moral development of society. Their role is based on upholding culture, tradition and beliefs and instilling ethical values. Łódź society growing up under the conditions of capitalism, where money was the most important value, needed special spiritual care. Because of this, the clergy played an important role in the city. They should primarily spread the faith in society and care for the salvation of the soul of the population. The Lodz clergy not only taught the faith or played the role of moral authority, they often acted as mediators, educators in the cultural sphere. They often took up pen to put their thoughts on paper. They wrote literary and journalistic texts in German or Polish and published them in local newspapers and magazines or, more rarely, in book form. Journalistic and literary writing was particularly popular with Lutheran clergy. They made it possible to develop an aesthetic feeling in a form other than just the Sunday sermon, to awaken a taste for the beautiful in art, and to lead the faithful to assimilate a set of sensual and spiritual values of the Evangelical-Augsburg faith. This anthology presents a small part of a more extensive body of writing by Evangelical-Augsburg pastors from Lodz and the surrounding area from 1839 to 1939. The main part of the volume is the collection of texts by German-speaking poet pastors, including Philipp Kreutz, Rudolf Gundlach and August Hermann Müller. The publication is an anthology with comments, i.e. a collection of texts with a detailed commentary on the history of the city and the development of Evangelical-Augsburg parishes in Lodz and the surrounding area in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Excessive optimism of analysts preparing stock market recommendations in company valuations

Nadmierny optymizm analityków sporządzających rekomendacje giełdowe w wycenach przedsiębiorstw

Author(s): Michał Radke / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: stock market recommendations; valuation; optimism; LOT-R; SOP; behavioral finance

The monograph has an interdisciplinary character. It is located on the border of two research areas of finance – behavioral finance and investment banking. In the case of the latter, it is mainly about the activities of financial institutions in the field of enterprise valuation in the issued stock exchange recommendations, both in theoretical and legal terms, as well as in practical approach, highlighting the most common mistakes in valuations. The main objective of the monograph is to analyze the psychological determinants of decision-making processes in the capital market, which concern not only rational premises for perceiving the value of financial assets through the prism of formal models of their valuation, but also attitudes, in particular optimism, which distorts the objective perception of value, while showing "human nature" financiers. The results of the analyzes provided by the author allowed to broaden the scope of knowledge on decision-making mechanisms in financial investment processes and their conditions. The obtained results are of practical importance both for individual and institutional investors, i.e. recipients of investment recommendations and their authors, which undoubtedly constitutes its great value.

Adult Children of Prisoners. An analysis of biographical experiences

Dorosłe dzieci więźniów. Analiza doświadczeń biograficznych

Author(s): Angelika Cieślikowska-Ryczko / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: prison crisis; parental incarceration; rehabilitation; biographical research; narrative research; autobiographical narrative interview

The study entitled Adult Children of Prisoners. Analysis of Biographical Experiences, the issue of the prison crisis of families is discussed. On the basis of the reconstruction of the biographies of adults who have experienced the incarceration of a parent, various strategies for the reconstruction of family relations were characterised, as well as the difficulties and failures associated with the interruption and loss of bonds. Assuming that the incarceration of a parent affects different spheres of functioning of adult children of prisoners, the focus was on the processual and multidimensional nature of this event in the narrators' lives. The main aim of the study was to identify and characterise the significance of the parent's incarceration in the life experiences of the narrators. The potential of biographical research, and in particular the assumptions of Fritz Schütze's biographical sociology, was used to realise this aim. In collecting and analysing empirical data, the method of autobiographical narrative interviewing was used. As a result, the monograph consists of four main parts: (1) a review of the literature on the situation, place and role of prisoners' families in the process of penitentiary isolation; (2) a theoretical-methodological study focused on the interactional research perspective; (3) an analysis of the results of own research presenting the reconstruction of narrators' biographies; and (4) an extended note on the analysis of linguistic structures.

Intellectual capital and the competitiveness of banks in Poland

Kapitał intelektualny a konkurencyjność banków w Polsce

Author(s): Karolina Anielak-Sobczak / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: intellectual capital; bank; competitiveness; synthetic measure; multidimensional statistical analysis; innovation

Contemporary banks operating in the knowledge-based economy are constantly looking for sources to improve their competitiveness and attractiveness in relation to the banking sector. Therefore, it becomes necessary to be able to react flexibly to changes in the market environment and to creatively use one's resources and experience. Nowadays, the banking services market has a similar product offer, similar functionality of the available distribution channels, which draws the managers' attention to the so-called soft factors of competitive advantage. Intellectual capital is the source of the bank's intangible resources, such as knowledge, employee skills, quality of service, relationships and social image as well as innovations. This monograph focuses on the structure of intellectual capital and its impact on the competitiveness of banks. The concept of dividing the bank's intellectual capital into three subsystems was presented: organizational capital (KORG), innovative capital (KINN) and institutional capital (KINS). In the monograph, the author used a multidimensional static analysis, as part of which a proprietary synthetic measure of the competitiveness of banks was built. It was calculated on the basis of 26 diagnostic indicators related to the assessment of intellectual and economic capital, which, according to the author, have the greatest impact on competitiveness. Thanks to this, she created rankings in terms of their competitiveness for a group of 10 listed commercial banks in Poland in 2009-2020.

Undesirable Phenomena in Employment from the Perspective of Labour Law - Selected Issues

Zjawiska niepożądane w zatrudnieniu z perspektywy prawa pracy – wybrane zagadnienia

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: occupational burnout; pathologies in the work environment; mobbing; violence in the workplace; remote work; disability; reasonable accommodation; equal treatment; sexual harassment; ILO Convention 190

The monograph 'Undesirable Phenomena in Employment from the Perspective of Labour Law - Selected Issues' has been prepared by students of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Lodz - members of the Students' Scientific Circle of Labour Law operating at the Labour Law Department of the University of Lodz. The publication contains a collection of studies on undesirable phenomena in the work environment, in which the authors analyse legal solutions concerning, among others, mobbing or discrimination, drawing attention to their imperfection and formulating de lege ferenda postulates. The considerations are set not only on the grounds of Polish labour law, but also take into account international documents - including, in particular, the International Labour Organisation Convention No. 190 of 2019 on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work, around which lively scientific discussions have recently been taking place. The threat of the emergence of new undesirable phenomena in employment, which may be a consequence of, among other things, the development of modern technologies, has not escaped the authors' attention either. The preparation of the study by the youngest researchers of labour law, allows for a slightly different perspective on the perception of the issue in question, which may enliven the scientific discourse in this area.
