The study deals with the relationship of contemporary Slovak film to place in terms of reduction of interest in ethnographic location. Employing the terminology of anthropologist Marc Auge, it uses the example of his analysis of non-places as typical signs of super modernity to examine changes in relation to location in Slovak cinematography after 2001. The analysis of the films 'Two Syllables Behind', 'Return of the Storks', 'It Will Stay Between Us' and 'Other Worlds' points to the relationship between the representation of super modern relations (or even directly non-places) and the processes of European integration, accompanied by the crisis of national identity.

The aim of my article is to answer to the question about methods of maintaining of credibility of the Roman Catholic church in Poland (understood as an institution). My presentation will be based on the research which included analysis of content of the official and unofficial documents of Roman Catholic Church in Poland (between 2000-2008) concerning the social problems related to the political and economic modernisation in the context of European integration process, especially discussion about European Constitution. In my article I will concentrate on presentation one of the strategy, that is: dichotomisation of the reality on the clearly distinguished 'we' and 'they'. Peter Berger stressed that in this strategy religious institution perceived new, pluralistic world in the cathegories of the threat religious order.

The article focuses on relations between functional literacy and earnings as well as non-monetary characteristics of job quality. It provides an overview of current state of knowledge and research topics. It focuses on conceptual and methodological aspects of research concerning relations between functional literacy and job quality and informs about the available of data sources. It introduces the results of international studies proving the relation between functional literacy and job quality even if controlled for education attainment. Further it shows that the research in the Czech Republic and other CEEC countries lacks behind the English speaking countries and on the basis of international comparison it points out to some specifics of these countries which may be an object of further research.
We explored the patterns of structural changes in Europe and found growing relevance of the service sector, particularly knowledge-intensive services. The study shows that labour productivity and TFP growth were lower in the service sector than in the goods sector but were higher in knowledge-intensive services than in other services. GDP per capita growth is positively related to the output’s share of knowledge-intensive services as well as GDP growth and TFP growth in high-income countries, but not in medium-income economies. This might be explained by the rapid growth in the earlier stages of development in less-developed countries and its subsequent slowdown. Although knowledge-intensive services are the fastest growing sector in all countries, industry is still the most relevant sector for long-term growth, with the highest TFP and labour productivity growth. The growing knowledge-intensive services sector, with its higher TFP growth than other services, partially overcomes the negative effects of expansion of the service sector on long-term output growth. This study shows that R&D investment growth leads to significantly higher output growth in knowledge-intensive services than in other sectors, which may be used as a relevant policy tool.
