BAĞIMSIZ TÜRK DEVLETLERİNDE MİKRO FİNANSMAN

Author(s): Nurhodja Akbulaev / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 15/2012

Almost all societies have some citizens living in poverty. Although the most severe poverty is in the developing world, there is evidence of poverty in every region. The fight against poverty is usually regarded as a social goal and many governments have some dedicated institutions or departments. Poverty itself is also likely to be a barrier for poverty reduction. In general, the government can directly help those in need. However another method in helping to fight poverty is to use microfinance approach. Microfinance tries to fight global poverty and bring opportunities to the world’s poorest people. With tiny loans and financial services, it helps the poor, mostly women, start businesses and escape poverty. Also microfinance is not only financial aids for the poor but also its social improvements. As previous studies have implied sustainability and cost-effectiveness within the microfinance programme is important for the long-run poverty reduction in the Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. In this study focus on some solutions for Central Asia poverty problem such as mikrofinance approach. Also it examines the Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan conditions the aspect of poverty and microfinance practices.

Betty Friedan, Jane Jacobs, Richard Sennett and the 1960s’ Challenge to the Suburban Era Mystique of Security and Order

Betty Friedan, Jane Jacobs, Richard Sennett and the 1960s’ Challenge to the Suburban Era Mystique of Security and Order

Author(s): Piotr Skurowski / Language(s): English / Issue: 04/2017

The paper examines and compares some of the 1960s’ most representative expressions of social critique: Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, Jane Jacobs’s The Death and Life of Great American Cities and Richard Sennett’s The Uses of Disorder, in an attempt to demonstrate how each of those intellectuals, social critics and visionaries, in their own distinct way, called for a radical departure from the established notions of the social and spatial order amidst the growing public fears of insecurity stimulated by the rising crime rate, the spread of racism and xenophobia, and the continuing “white flight” to the suburbs.

Between Reality and Dream: Eastern European Media Transition, Transformation, Consolidation, and Integration

Author(s): Peter Gross / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2004

This article explores the progress made in the transition and transformation of Eastern Europe’s news media and the potential for their integration into the Western European media scene. Transformation and consolidation in Eastern European societies and in their media systems should not be pursued in the name of integration. For these societies, these processes have a raison d’etre of their own: reaching the stated desideratum of a bona fide democracy, which means a degree of sameness in the key aspects of their political culture; for the media, it means professionalization based on shared standards of journalism and media roles.

Bezpieczeństwo imprez masowych.

Author(s): Jerzy Zawisza / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2013

Security is one of the most important needs of man since the immemorial times. At the moment, one of the areas of security is the security of mass events which regularly take place in many countries of the world. Poland is no exception in this area, in which each year these events come, they are sports, concerts, organized demonstrations, etc. As shown by the Polish experience of previous years and the experience of other countries in this regard, mass events are characterized by a multitude of people among the participants involve a number of risks, both for the participants and for those responsible for their safety. An important role is played by the organizers of these events, as well as state authorities responsible for the supervision and control resulting from the provisions of the law.

Bieżące dyskusje na temat różnorodnych barier biologicznych, kulturowych i psychospołecznych wobec karmienia piersią w społeczeństwie współczesnym

Author(s): Elizabeth Ping / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

Breastfeeding provides good-quality nutrition for babies and can be very beneficial for both mom and baby. However, modern women face many challenges in breastfeeding their babies that can be attributed to today’s ever-evolving cultural and psycho-social underpinnings. These multiple barriers to breastfeeding in today’s society hinder women from developing a good breastfeeding relationship with their babies. The various factors that prohibit initiation and prolonged breastfeeding however can be counteracted by examining the barriers to breastfeeding and finding reasonable methods for resolving the challenges. Twenty-first century women who desire to breastfeed can be successful at achieving their breastfeeding goals with greater support by society and by having more confidence in themselves.

Błędy poznawcze i nadmierny optymizm na rynku kapitałowym

Błędy poznawcze i nadmierny optymizm na rynku kapitałowym

Author(s): Radosław Pastusiak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 9.1/2016

Psychology began in finance play a significant role for about 30 years. Since then, scientists have once again described the nature of many phenomena that have psychological, and so far have been described classically leaves only. The literature has identified a number of cognitive biases and shortcuts or heuristics thinking. They have a large impact on the financial decisions of man. The capital market is a place where objectivity is very desirable, but here it become apparent almost all cognitive bias, led by the excessive optimism, often called overoptymizmem. Man optimistic thinking in economics, is a person thinking unreal, viewing the world through rose-colored glasses, a person who does not take objective decisions, but assumes that reality for her work out to be statistically better than other people. We want to be optimistic, even in the financial market, because from this perspective the world seems to be easier to accept.

Bo źle złożyłem tapczan u teściów. Przemoc domowa wobec mężczyzn

Bo źle złożyłem tapczan u teściów. Przemoc domowa wobec mężczyzn

Author(s): Diana Karwowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 04/2012

In 1977, appeared a new term, „battered husband syndrome”. Still little is said about wives/partners-oppressors. An additional problem is that ladies often apply the „invisible” psychological violence. Quite significantly failed to sensitize public opinion on the phenomenon of violence against women and children, but also perpetuated the image of man as the only possible offender. Husband/partner is usually the victim of jokes and the object of pity. My analysis is focused on newspaper articles and cabaret work. I wonder also on differences in the situation of victims of both sexes.

Bohemians, Vagabonds, and Wanderers of the “Ragged Promised Land” in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road

Bohemians, Vagabonds, and Wanderers of the “Ragged Promised Land” in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road

Author(s): Daria Anna Urbańska / Language(s): English / Issue: 04/2018

The article focuses on the journey into the “ragged promised land” (80) in On the Road. It can be seen as an escape of the main protagonist Sal Paradise from his roots and from the conformity of American society. Kerouac, having a Franco-Canadian heritage, presents a marginal possibility of heterogeneity in a homogenous postwar America. The author depicts additional mentors and heroes met along the way. They are, among others, tramps and hoboes, ragged wanderers and the Fellahin of Mexico, as well as Sal’s travel companion Dean Moriarty. Sal experiences something true and meaningful among those living on the margin of society. He travels considerable distances: from coast to coast across the United States, from boarder to boarder and to Mexico. The real journey, though, is inward, a passage through the wilderness of the self, the true “ragged promised land”.

MUZYKA JAKO PRZEKAZ KSZTAŁTUJĄCY STYL ŻYCIA SUBKULTUR MŁODZIEŻOWYCH

Author(s): Michał Jan Lutostański / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 2015

Punk’s not dead. Stare hasło, które pamiętam z koncertów sprzed trzydziestu lat, powraca echem, gdy czytam książkę doktora Michała Jana Lutostańskiego. Przy czym zawołanie to odnosi się nie tylko do punk rocka, lecz także subkultur młodzieżowych jako takich. Książka Lutostańskiego była dla mnie podróżą sentymentalną, przywołującą z pamięci to i owo. W kulturze, która zwykła traktować to, co zdarzyło się przed pięciu laty, jak zamierzchłą, paleolityczną niemal przeszłość, jest to cenne i znaczące. Po prostu.

Bulletin of Electoral Statistics and Public Opinion Research Data

Author(s): Andrew Arato,Sharon Cooley,Justyna Duriasz,Jan Gross,Barbara Heyns,Tibor Mezei,Jozef Pinior / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/1994

In this issue of the Bulletin we provide statistics for the September 19, 1993, elections in Poland, as well as selected findings from post-election polls of the electorate. We also include a brief commentary and public opinion data about the shaping of voter preferences and the likely outcome of the forthcoming elections in Hungary. The September elections in Poland resulted in a significant shift to the. left. An electoral coalition led by a post-Communist successor party to the PUWP, including among its leaders some of the most prominent personalities of the pre-1989 Jaruzelski regime, received a plurality of electoral votes. Its popular support was twice as large as that of the most attractive of the parties with roots in Solidarity-the Democratic Union. Second place was awarded by the electorate to yet another successor party of the Ancien Regime, the Peasant party. This result meant the return to power of an alliance of post-Communist parties.

Być jak Tony Halik. Społeczno-kulturowe determinanty wyłonienia się kategorii travelbrytów

Author(s): Anna Sarzyńska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 01/2019

In recent years, the dynamic development of tourism has been remarkable. Nowadays more and more people travel for the purpose of tourism farther and more frequently. As a response to this situation, some people have decided to transform their travel into a profession, a way of life and a tool to gain popularity. They are travelbrities. It seems that the creation of this social category is primarily the result of two processes - the mentioned progress in the field of tourism, as well as the developing phenomenon of celebritism. However, this type of reflection is superficial and insufficient for such a complex topic. The aim of this article is to make a description of the social category of travelbrities, as well as the reconstruction of its socio-cultural determinants. Illustrations for the issues discussed are examples from the Polish “show-travel-business”.

Can One Eat Art? The Political, Socio-Economic and Artistic Role of Food in Peter Greenaway’s Film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And Her Lover

Can One Eat Art? The Political, Socio-Economic and Artistic Role of Food in Peter Greenaway’s Film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And Her Lover

Author(s): Małgorzata Kowalewska / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2018

The aim of the article is to present the relationship between food and politics based on the example of Peter’s Greenaway film The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover. This particular Greenaway’s film is compelling for the purposes of the presented analysis, as he is an accredited painter and he uses food as references to historic paintings. In my article, I analyse the role of food (as an element of scenography in Greenaway’s film) as a means of explaining political and social problems presented. I will reference to history of art, political and social situation, as well as approach to food in the upper class in Great Britain in ’80s of the 20th century

Celebryta ponowoczesny – w pogoni za sławą

Celebryta ponowoczesny – w pogoni za sławą

Author(s): Bartłomiej Kotowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 01/2019

Nowadays, almost anyone can become a celebrity although not everyone is. Contemporary world and late modernity favour and support any shape and form of celebrity. Existence and actions of celebrities are concurrent in theirs indication. To be a celebrity requires an ongoing battle for their very existence, remaining on “top” and endearing the public. It is not an appearance belonging to a subjective ego. Functioning in micro and macro scale or being on so called “their turf” demands constant effort, perpetual remaining in the centre of attention, cultivating social consciousness of the perception of “me – celebrity” enlisting strong actions in the real world as well as in the virtual world. Furthermore, commerciality is not foreign in those actions and they are rarely free from elements of absurdity.

Celebrytyzacja uczestniczek i uczestników protestów

Celebrytyzacja uczestniczek i uczestników protestów

Author(s): Karolina Gembara / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 01/2019

In the article the author analyses viral images of the Turkish Spring, of clashes on the Israeli-Palestinian border, as well as some other iconic protest photographs. By following the impact these photographs make through the social media, it shall be observed how individuals captured by photojournalists become “protest celebrities”. This process, called celebritisation, resembles how famous people within the entertainment industry gain instant recognition, as a result of a singular act. The author proposes observing political protests in the same way we look at popular culture, and the way it produces celebrities, often against their will. Analogies shall be drawn and differences point out between traditional celebrities and protest celebrities using performative theory questioning the agency of celebrities.

Children in Youtubers’ web (analysis of selected sociocultural aspects of the Youtuber scene)

Author(s): Erika Moravčíková / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2/2017

The present paper focuses on a relatively new sociocultural phenomenon of YouTubers, who are hugely popular mainly among members of the Generation Z (i.e. people aged 15-20). Internet social networks, the YouTube channel and mainly YouTubers (authors of audio-visual works posted chiefly on YouTube) represent a significant cooperative and participatory platform taking part in the shaping of thinking, values and patterns of behaviour in children and the youth. This contribution is aimed at reflecting on this problem through the prism of trends representing a driving force inside the media industry and show business from its inception to the present. We will also take a closer look at the marketing potential of YouTubers and YouTubering, and the birth of new-era celebrities in the process.

Clans for Market or Clans for Plan: Social Networks in Hungary and Russia

Author(s): Natalia Dinello / Language(s): English / Issue: 03/2001

The seminal phrase, "from plan to clan, "introduced into sociological discourse in 1990, featured a networks-focused and pathdependent interpretation of the transformation of former communist economies. Recognizing the leverage of the past and the durability of pre-existing social networks, the strategic choice was characterized as "not between clans or markets but of clans for market." Distinguishing between market orientation and market coordination, non-market coordination was presented as compatible with high-performance market orientation. [...]
