Author(s): Ewa Nowak-Teter / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4 (240)/2019

The development of new media environment requires adequate verification of the results of previously known media effects research. Agenda-setting theory is one of these classic approaches that should be discussed using new types of (public and media) agendas in order to determine their dependencies. Thus the goal of this article is to verify the basic assump-tion of agenda-setting theory and its modification, that is the reverse agenda-setting concept in an online media environment. The results of empirical data showed that the agenda-set-ting theory is still a relevant approach when observing the dependencies between the public agenda and media agenda, which means that media agenda (measured by the frequency of publications of online opinion forming dailies devoted to the selected issues) is statistically significantly dependent on public agenda (measured by public opinion surveys concerning the same issues). The reverse agenda-setting dependency has been observed for the new type of public agenda, that is search agenda (measured using Google Trends application), which proved to be statistically significantly dependent on online news media (opinion forming dailies) agenda.

Author(s): Bożena Majewicz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2021

Every culture and every professional group are characterized by a system and hierarchy of values. Man is oriented towards a world of values: we can recognize, classify and fulfill them. This is also a teacher’s role. It is extremely difficult to educate young generations without presenting to them those values that serve an individual’s development and determine their perception of what is important in life. Values learned and experienced can be applied to real life; moreover, they make a teacher’s work more meaningful.

AKSJOLOGICZNE WSPARCIE KOMPETENCJI ZAWODOWYCH PROMOTORA ZDROWIA PRZEZ NAUCZANIE JANA PAWŁA II NA TEMAT ISTOTY ZDROWIA DUCHOWEGO CZŁOWIEKA

Author(s): Zofia Kubińska,Helena Konowaluk-Nikitin,Anna Pańczuk,Joanna Kubińska / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 2/2020

The aim of the article was to show the fundamental value and need for the presence of the spiritual dimension of human health in the cognitive and practical competences of the health promoter, including the teaching of John Paul II showing the axiological dimension of the spiritual sphere of a person. It should be emphasized that the lack of a spiritual dimension in the complexity and integrity of actions for human health has the features of reductionism instead of coherent merging. Educational standards shown in actions taken in Poland, Europe and on a global scale to improve the quality of education of health promotion personnel do not require the education of professional competences showing and explaining the transcendent dimension of health, which thanks to conscience, through the power of the Holy Spirit penetrates all health spheres minimizing erroneous human activities.

We asked teachers about the aspects which in their opinion are positively influenced by the physical activity undertaken by the students. The analysis was also conducted on the motives and barriers of AF undertaken by youth. Conclusions. The respondents believe that students have an average level of physical fitness.

Alternative History: Creation, Use and Interpretation of Buryat Genealogies

Author(s): Ayur Zhanaev / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Group identities are often built on genealogies. Buryat culture appears to conform to this general rule. Elaborate Buryat historical genealogies have been written and preserved. Today, scholars regard them as a key source of insight into the structure and character of Buryat society. Most scholars treat Buryat genealogies exclusively as descriptions of kinship systems. In keeping with a rich anthropological literature, Buryat culture appears to fit into the paradigm of kinship as the “irreducible principle,” “atom” or an “elementary structure,” which, as the complexity of society grew, ceased to be the central organizational principle in favor of the state, politics, economy, etc. However, this interpretation occludes the meaning of Buryat genealogies as carriers of historical memory and understanding of the world. By insisting on treating it in ethnographic categories, the academic view of Buryat culture reduces the Buryat society to the level of a primordial one. In this article, I will use the findings of my fieldwork to briefly introduce the historical context of the Buryat genealogies in the broadly defined pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet periods. I am interested in the motives of those who created these genealogies, and the place these documents occupy in the contemporary Buryat society and culture. I will also note the coincidence of a revival of interest among Buryats in their genealogies in the 1970s and 1980s with the rise of Soviet modernization’s power to suppress local cultures.

Alternatywne podejście do bezpieczeństwa – soft power

Author(s): Jan Maciejewski,Donata Borowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 38/2020

The purpose of the article is to describe, from the perspective of political science and sociology, an alternative approach to security connected with soft power in the context of the endeavour to ensure security to every human being. The authors propose to consider security-related alternatives of the second half of the 21st century as a combination of soft power and hard power – that is, smart power – applied in the area of social and political relations. Conducting politics in the spirit of soft power seems particularly justified and substantial in the face of the contemporary immigration and refugee crisis. Modern states, especially European states and the US, are security subjects that both defend security and seek it using soft power with potential support – when necessary – on the part of hard power. The authors discuss this phenomenon on the example of the US. The article shows, in a manner substantive for security sciences, the relations between knowledge and power, because it is them that determine contemporary societies. An approach to security in the spirit of soft power is becoming a significant factor shaping security culture.

An Austrian in Hollywood:

the representation of foreigners in the films of Billy Wilder

Author(s): Delia Chiaro,Giuseppe De Bonis / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

This paper examines the work of Billy Wilder whose rich cinematic production frequentlyinvolves the collision of different languages as well as the clash of dissimilar cultures. As anAustrian living in the USA, the director had the privilege of gaining insight into his adoptedculture from the point of view of an outsider – a bilingual “other” who made 25 films inalmost 40 years of working in Hollywood. His films recurrently depict foreign characters atwhich Wilder pokes fun whether they are English, French, German, Italian, Russian or eventhe Americans of his adopted country. More precisely, the paper offers an overview of themulti-modal portrayals of diverse “foreigners,” with examples taken from a small butsignificant sample of Wilder’s films. The subtitling of dialogue in the secondary language forthe target English-speaking audience and the specific translation solutions are not within thescope of this discussion, instead we focus on the comic collision of two languages and moreimportantly, on the way Wilder implements humour to highlight the absurdity of culturaldifference. In other words, our main goal is to explore two or more languages in contrastwhen they become a humorous trope.

Author(s): Muhammad Hussein Sharifi / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

The Holy Quran, as the greatest source of Islam, has always been the origin for multiple interpretive attitudes throughout the history of Islam. The existence of Mūtashābīh (multivalent or ambiguous) verses in the Holy Quran has opened new room for the introduction of various approaches in the interpretation including social approach and Feminist interpretation as one of its examples. After a brief introduction of Islamic feminism, this essay elaborates on the most important principles of feminist interpretation in contrast to traditional or classic ones such as gender equality, equality of rights, avoiding patriarchalism, complete freedom of intellect in understanding the Quran, the principle of non-contradiction among various sections of the Quran, and etc. Finally, the above principles are evaluated and criticized upon different elements including non-patriarchal nature of traditional interpretations, true viewpoints of the Quran regarding the equality of rights and gender equality, invalidity of eisegesis or subjective interpretation and matriarchally oriented approaches of feminist thinkers in exegesis of the Quran.
