The article is simply a description of my education in Dubai. The main focus is on my teacher’s attitude as well as subjects like Co-ordinated Sciences, Theory of Knowledge and a short paragraph on discipline. It was quite troublesome to write about something that I considered ‘obvious’ and I thought that all education, whether in Poland or abroad, looks the same. Hopefully the article will give you a minimal insight into my learning experiences and leave you to answer as to whether to change or not to change Polish education.

Człowiek wobec zmian w organizacji

The current article deals with issues related to organisational behaviours, as perceived in the light of social and economic transformations that are going on in our country. The author claims that a change in an organisation should be analysed from the point of view of an individual. Thus, the author points at the whole spectrum of individual behavioural reactions to the process of transformations – from resistance, through indifference, to enthusiasm andco-operation. These views lead the author to suggest a theoretical model of personal and situational determinants of readiness for change in organisation, which constitutes the basic theme of the article.

Sport plays an important role in modern societies, including those in Europe. However, individual countries differ in terms of their citizens’ participation in universally accessible sport. In some societies, the percentage of people who pursue different sports is high, while in other countries it is insignificant. What are the reasons behind such differences? What variables are crucial to accounting for these differences? How has Polish society changed in this regard? Theoretical and empirical analyses show that people in Poland are becoming increasingly active when it comes to sport. In terms of taking part in sport, Polish society is starting to catch up with other European societies. The decisive role in the process is played by: a) social factors (education and affluence), b) the ideals and values that dominate the local culture (physical appearance, kinetic pleasures, and positive emotions), and c) the efficiency and adequacy of the physical education system in schools (innovation, the use of cyberspace, and efforts aimed at addressing social needs). If these three areas of socialization - society, culture and physical education in schools - reach a high level of convergence and if fewer variables hinder the process than at present, people in Poland will become as physically active as other societies in the West.

The article is focused on the relationship between meditation, degree of involvement in the practice and temporal orientation, in particular active concentration on present time called “Carpe diem”. Two hypotheses are tested: a) Practitioners, as compared to nonpractitioners, are presenting significantly higher active concentration on the present and lower orientation on the past, future and present fatalistic orientation; b) If involvement in meditation increases, active concentration on the present also increases. A survey has been carried out on a group of 160 practitioners of Karma Kagyu linage of Tibetan Buddhism in Poland and a group of 100 nonpractitioners. The results suggest, practitioners are more actively focused on present time and this active concentration increases with involvement in meditation.

Zmiana jest „tak oczywistą właściwością rzeczywistości społecznej, że każda teoria z obszaru nauk społecznych, jakikolwiek byłby jej punkt wyjścia, musi się prędzej czy później do niej odnieść” (Haferkamp, Smelser, 1992, za: Sztompka, 2005, s. 13). W konstruowaniu tych teorii pomocne mogą okazać się badania gotowości do zmian, sposobów radzenia sobie z nimi i ich wpływu na funkcjonowanie jednostki. Jak się okazuje, są to jedne z podstawowych wymiarów coraz częściej zauważane przez badaczy jakości życia. Stanowią one zmienną łączącą w sobie wiele komponentów, wśród których można wyróżnić m.in. Takie, jak: właściwości jednostki (zarówno jej słabe, jak i mocne strony), stresory ujmowane jako zmiany życiowe wymagające nowej adaptacji życiowej, skutki zdarzeń krytycznych czy też orientacja na przyszłość. Dotychczasowe badania koncentrowały się zwłaszcza na analizie skal mierzących osobno każdy z tych komponentów. Artykuł stanowi propozycję nieco innego spojrzenia na zmiany życiowe obejmującego aspekty intrapersonalne zamykające się w odpowiedziach badanego na takie pytania, jak: jaki jestem w kontekście doświadczanych zmian, jak na nie reaguję, jaka charakteryzuje mnie orientacja życiowa oraz interpersonalne – jak dzięki zasobom tkwiącym w otoczeniu mogę rozwijać własną gotowość do zmian. W artykule podjęto zatem próbę syntetycznego zarysowania wybranych technik i narzędzi badawczych aktualnie wykorzystywanych do badania zmian życiowych w naukach społecznych i humanistycznych.

Change is „such an evident feature of social reality that any social-scientific theory, whatever its conceptual starting point, must sooner or later address it.” (Haferkamp, Smelser, 1992, from: Sztompka, 2005, p. 13). It should be noted, that studies of readiness for changes, cooping and connection between changes and human behaviour might prove useful in the process of theory construction. What is more, currently, these aspects are one of the basic factors for quality of life researchers. The change is treated as a variable, which involves many components like individual factors (strengths and weaknesses), adaptation- related stress, causes of critical situations or future orientation. Until now, researches have mainly focused on analysing isolated tests to measure all components of life changes. The article shows a different treatment of life changes, which includes intrapersonal and interpersonal aspects. The intrapersonal aspect is related to answer to questions about reactions for changes and individual future orientation. The interpersonal aspect is connected to the question about objective quality of life. The article is an attempt to review current methods and questionnaires examining life changes in social and humanities sciences.

The paper presents a developing theory of gerotranscendence, that is – positive aging. It has arisen from empirical studies conducted by Lars Tornstam and his research team. The theory, which at its heart has change and development, explains the process of insight into ourselves as well as the process of opening to change, to the others, to the world, values, social norms and cultural patterns. It is visible in the assumptions and empirical implications presented by the authoress. In order to understand the theory better, the paper refers to the spiritual development and the definition of transcendence in the psychological approach of Maria Straś-Romanowska

Global warming causes that climate changes poses significant socio – economic challenges and climate policy become a part of countries’ economic policy. With increase of the international community awareness about need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, importance of renewable energy sources in power generation is growing. Twenty first century will be a time of the energy sector transformation towards low-carbon energy sources. This raises the new outlook for the industry, because climate policy can be a driving force for new sector of a “green economy”. “Green technologies” and “green economy” will generate new jobs, so that renewable energy sources are becoming not only an alternative to traditional energy source due to lack of GHG emissions, but also bring new economic opportunities.

The process of social remitting is complex and multilayered, and involves numerous social actors that at each stage face several choices. By definition, the process of socially remitting ideas, codes of behaviour and practices starts with the migrants themselves and their social context in the destination country. This paper focuses on the as yet unexplored issue of resistance performed and articulated by migrants confronted with potential change influenced by social remittances and the generalised process of diffusion. Faithful to the understanding of social remittances as ultimately a process where individual agency is the crucial determinant, the article follows the ideas, practices and values travelling across the transnational social field between Britain and various localities in Poland. Resistance to change and new ways of doing things is a continuous dialogical process within one culture’s power field, which is understood here in anthropological terms as a porous, open-ended field of competing meanings and discourses. Notions of bifocality, infra-politics of power relations and resistance are an important aspect of remittances and their reinterpretations, and resistance to social remittances by migrants, both in their destinations and in their communities of origin, is a crucial component of the whole process without which our understanding of remittances is incomplete.

This paper studies the changes which have occurred in the Spanish cod fishing industry in the last few years. We also aim to understand the dynamics of industrial change and its relation to institutions, understood here as both formal and informal rules and conventions. Our results suggest that sometimes industries, in order to maintain their competitive position, need something more than incremental changes in their products or in the technologies that they use. As we can see with the Spanish cod fishing industry, major changes are needed which affect the institutional set-up of their production system. Nevertheless, even when major changes happen in the production sphere, this does not mean that major alterations happen in the way companies innovate, i.e. in their innovation system.

1989 was a dividing line in the history of Central & Eastern European countries. Not only political systems were re-organized, but also social and cultural relations had to be revisited. It is valid to education as well because it welcomed new structures, subjects and philosophies, very often in new educational environments. In Hungary, language education was in a special situation: due to the changing social demands it had to face new challenges with the introduction of foreign languages not widely taught up to this time. The three pillars of the study are the analysis of the shift from a socialist regime into capitalism and its reflection in language education, the description of the appearance of different languages in public and higher education, and the introduction of new methods and synergies applied in the new era of FLT (foreign language teaching). Illustrations of present results are provided from the two far ends of education, namely, pre-school education and kindergarten teacher-training.

Building upon A. K. Henrikson’s concept of mental mapping, the author proposes an interpretative framework to approach the European emotional landscape concerning Germany since 2010, when the symptoms of the European Union’s economic crisis became more visible. The main emotion considered here is fear in its broader sense. The analysis deals with collective emotions seen as a stabilized cultural element in international relations. The question of change in the dominating emotional regime is treated from a constructivist perspective as a norm change on the microsystemic level of the relations between given state agents and Germany, as well as on the macrosystemic scale of the international structure. Final remarks concern the reactivation of fear and its limits.

This paper attempts to present the concept of transformation of the organization using the theory of strategic renewal in the organizational learning. This indicates that the regeneration processes of enterprises form the basis of organizational changes to enable an evolutionary development towards implementation of enterprise learning mechanisms. Emerging new aspect of this paper is to discuss the benefits it can bring to organizations using external resources (outsourcing tools) to enhance the renewal process.

This work attempts to underline that motivating and managing change in the mentality of its environment, and being in tune with society’s changing needs is the basis of successful strategic planning. Our aim is to highlight planning as a way of learning, that is, planning implies changing ways of thinking, not making plans. Strategic learning requires releasing the mind in order to slip flexibly into the continuous line and to achieve the creation of possible action courses from a fertile dialogue between thought and action. Using our insights from the two literatures, we propose a dynamic, integrative conceptual model of change based on organizational learning. This practice has been analysed in three Spanish cities where important events have taken place.

The article deals with the comparative analysis of the Dutch and Ukrainian processes in educational management system in order to define the best practices and recommendations for modernization of Ukrainian school management. The system of education in Ukraine lacks for change; it requires a new way of thinking and behaving. The author analyzes such notions as «change», «innovation», «educational change», «modernization of education». The author offers the following definition of modernization of school management, which lies in transition from the old forms and methods of management to new, contemporary and innovative ones; dynamic, controlled and qualitative improvement in educational management. It is stated that high quality results of the Dutch education are reached mainly because of the long history of decentralized model in educational management together with a lot of freedom and autonomy given to schools. Under the article 23 of the Dutch Constitution it is mentioned that the key feature of education in the Netherlands is freedom: 1) to found schools and determine school philosophy (administrative autonomy); 2) to organize the teaching process and determine the principles of education (curriculum autonomy); 3) to administer funds (financial autonomy). The article shows another peculiar feature of the Dutch education system, which is decentralization that has been clearly felt over the last twenty years. This tendency is regarded to be positive, because it facilitates democratic approach to distribution of administrative functions from the central government to local authorities, from local authorities to directors who know best what their school needs. At the same time attention is paid to school funding and parental involvement in decision-making. Unlike in Ukraine, the educational management in the Netherlands is more democratic; the system of education is more open to the participation of society in educational decision-making. The article highlights the main problems and weaknesses of the Ukrainian educational management system processes such as: corruption in the educational system, the inappropriate usage of financial and material resources; centralisation, a lack of school autonomy which results in an overload of bureaucracy and excess of control; the lack of democracy, social accountability, readiness for innovations in education and school independence in choosing programs, curricula and books; insufficient parental participation, community involvement in school management. The solutions to these problems, possibilities to use the best examples of educational management experience of the Netherlands in order to improve the Ukrainian system of educational management are offered.

The author deliberates the phenomena of neo-nazism in the Internet in the perspective of postcolonial theory. Her aim is to present how neo-fascists construct the representation of “Other” and deconstruct it. Her field laboratory was ethnically and religiously diversed in the Podlasie region in Poland, where the number of racial and homophobic incidents has increased recently. Then, she present her ethnological dream: to publish “postcolonial theory and practice handbook for teachers”, the goal of which would be to struggle against bias and intolerance. As a result, the author perceives the goal of anthropology in general as applied, engaged in public discourses and an instrument to solve real social problems.

Zagadnienie ciągłości i zmiany w Kościele ściśle łączy się z problemem kul- tury i pytaniem, jak dalece chrześcijaństwo ma podejmować dialog z kulturą ludzką. Kultura w życiu społecznym pełni fundamentalną rolę, obejmując sys- temy wartości, idei, wzorów zachowań i norm, przez które człowiek rozpoznaje rzeczywistość. Misja Kościoła, by być zrozumiała i skuteczna, musi więc doko- nywać się w kulturze, wykorzystując tworzoną przez nią rzeczywistość symbo- liczną. Dlatego też Kościół powołany jest do uczestnictwa w kulturze, wykorzy- stując ją jako narzędzie ewangelizacji i ujmując ją jednocześnie jako zadanie. Kultura, jako rzeczywistość społeczna, podobnie jak społeczeństwa jest w cią- głym ruchu i podlega ciągłym przemianom. W konsekwencji więc, Kościół musi dostosowywać swą misję do zmieniających się warunków. Ciągłość jest więc spleciona ze zmianą, w ten sposób, że zmiany Kościoła zapewniają ciągłość jego misji. Jako rzeczywistość teandryczna, Kościół podąża więc ku Królestwu Boże- mu przez historię i kultury.

The standard solution of Zenon’s paradoxes – especially that of Achilles and Tortoise – rests on some mathematical assumptions about real numbers. It is assumed that time is at least dense. However there is another solution that there may be considered “atoms” of time. In this case time would be discrete. This standpoint seems to be a natural, if somebody accepts that time is characterized by sequences of events. In that case the flow of time may be defined by changes. There is already a long philosophical discussion going back to the ancient times about the status of time and its priority to change. In the paper a modern tool for a description of this concept is presented – sentential logic of change LC does not entangle Achilles and Tortoise in Zenon’s paradox.

PL

Standardowe rozwiązanie paradoksów Zenona – w szczególności paradoksu Achillesa i żółwia – opiera się na pewnych matematycznych założeniach dotyczących liczb rzeczywistych. Wymaga ono między innymi tego, by przyjąć założenie, zgodnie z którym czas jest przynajmniej gęstym zbiorem momentów czasowych. Można jednak zaproponować także inne rozwiązanie, które opiera się na założeniu o istnieniu „atomów” czasu - w tym przypadku czas byłby uważany za strukturę dyskretną. Tego rodzaju punkt widzenia wydaje się naturalny, gdy przyjmiemy, iż czas powinien być charakteryzowany przez ciągi zdarzeń. Wówczas upływ czasu można byłoby definiować przez odwoływanie się do zachodzenia zmian. Idea pierwszeństwa zmienności względem czasu jest obecna w filozofii już od starożytności. Jednym ze współczesnych narzędzi opisu takiej koncepcji może być zdaniowa logika zmiany LC, która nie wikła Achillesa i żółwia w paradoks Zenona.

Wprowadzenie konteneryzacji do transportu oznaczało wielką jakościową zmianę, która - jak się okazało - ukształtowała nie tylko środki transportu i porty, ale również organizację łańcuchów transportowych i inne elementy naszej rzeczywistości. Obniżając koszty transportu umożliwiła procesy globalizacji produkcji wpływając na całą gospodarkę światową. Artykuł analizuje zmienny charakter rynku przewozów kontenerowych, który szczególnie wyraźnie ujawnił się w okresie ostatniego kryzysu. Wychodząc z tej analizy zauważono procesy, które zmieniają współczesne oblicze transportu kontenerowego i ich skutki dla portów.

Introduction of containerization to transport meant a big qualitative change which - as it turned out later - shaped not only means of transportation and ports, but also very organization of transport chains and other elements of our economical reality. Through sinking of costs of transportation it enabled processes of globalization of production, influencing thus the whole global economy. The article analyses the unstable character of the maritime container transport market, of which volatility was clearly seen during the recent crisis. Basing on this analysis it reveals processes which change the shape of contemporary container transportation and their consequences for sea ports.
