The article is an attempt at presenting the similarities and differences in contemporary imaging of old age on the silver screen by using several examples of Polish and Czech (mostly) feature films from the 21st century. Special attention has been paid to the mechanisms of familiarising the taboo of passing away and old age in the cinematography of both countries.

In the text, an attempt was made to analyse selected issues related to gerontology in the relationship to people with disabilities. The context of analyses is the tendency of social ageing tendencies, observed in Poland and in the world, especially in European countries. Selected areas of reflection are combined with the conviction that there is a need for research which would fill in the gap in the field of research carried out so far, focused on the issue of the broadly defined life situation of the people with disabilities in the senior years, which is in the scientific merit of Polish special needs education (pedagogics). There is a justified fear that these individuals are more likely to experience marginalisation and exclusion in many areas of life than people of similar age in the general population.

Background: The main aim of the presented study is to identify the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction of seniors. It was expected that high score of loneliness will correspond to lower score of satisfaction with life. Methods: The group consisted of 161 people (53 male and 108 female, age range 60-105 years old) took part in this study. The data was collected using following tools: UCLA Loneliness Scale by Russell, Peplau and Cutrona, Attitude Profile-Revised LAP-R by Reker and a survey of our own authorship allows to collect socio-demographic data. Correlation and regression methods have been used to find relationship between the variables. Findings: Results of the study show some correlations between loneliness and satisfaction with life (r=0,49 for social connections, r=0,57 for belonging to social group, r=-0,53 for lack of contact). Furthermore, regression analysis shows that lack of contact, social connections and sense of belonging explain about 94% of the variance of life satisfaction. Discussion: The implementation of these results to the psychological care for the elderly might contribute to improving their quality of life.

In the context of the demographic and psychosocial changes capturing the factors that are relevant to the process of perception of the aging process and their own old age becomes a significant problem. The article discusses the results of the study conducted on a group of 430 people on the factors determining the perception of old age by young people. Presented selected results relate to the personality correlates of perception of the aging process.

Bartholomew Paprocki in his work Třinácte tabulí věku lidského (1601) describes stages of human existence. Each stage constitutes one ‘‘board” in which Paprocki contains different moral messages. On individual “boards” the writer scrutinizes birth, childhood, youth, adulthood, old age. Paprocki perceives old age as the final stage of life, starting at the age of 60, which is aboun­dary between what happened and what will happen. The first part of human life is over and the rest should be devoted to religious worship, when one regrets sins committed in young age and begs God for forgiveness.

Bartoloměj Paprocký ve svém díle Třinácte tabulí věku lidského (1601) popisuje etapa lid­ského života. Každé období je jedna „tabule”, ve které Paprocký dává jiné morální napomenutína základě citátů zantických spisovatelů acírkevních otců. Vjednotlivých „tabulích” autor cha­rakterizuje dětství, mládí, dospělost a stáří. Paprocký považuje stáří za poslední etapu života, jež začíná ve věku 60 let, který znamená hranici mezi tím, co bylo, atím, co bude. První částka života končí, v druhé částce je třeba žít zbožně, litovat hříchů spáchaných v mládí aprosit Boha o smilování.

The interdisciplinarity of social gerontology encourages the use of the achievements of various sciences, the instruments of which may be helpful in deepening the knowledge about old age. In this article, the proposed source of inspiration for research on old age becomes the category of time. It shows the basic meaning of this category in reference to philosophical thought, its current use in research on old age. The review has a character signaling philosophical contexts, without embedding these concepts in the contexts of the history of philosophy. In addition, it is detailed in areas and questions which can inspire researchers on old age to use the category of time as both research canvas and interpretation canvas.

Aim Ageing is a natural and unavoidable phenomenon of a global nature. With age, the phenomenon of multiple disease and occurrence of various disabilities increases. Without a doubt, it is one of numerous factors influencing the quality of life, which is a highly complex term. Comparison of the quality of life of geriatric patients staying in care and treatment institutions with elderly people living with their families or alone was the aim of the study. Material and methods The study was conducted in a group of 102 persons for the period of three months. For the purpose of the study the following tools were used: WHOQOL-BREF scale, Katz scale, Norton scale and Geriatric Depression Scale. Verification of the differences between the variables was performed with the χ2 independence test and with Mann-Whitney test. Significance level of p<0.05 was assumed. Results Persons remaining in institution (47.1%) and living in a house/apartment (49.9%) rated their quality of life at a similar level. Among the persons remaining in the long-term care institution, these were more commonly the individuals with considerable level of disability (60.4%). Persons with moderate disability (42.6%) and fully fit (44.4%) more frequently live with a family or alone. In CTI patients, a higher risk of pressure ulcers occurred and it was 64.6%. The occurrence of depression among seniors is not significantly influenced by the method and location of their residence. Conclusions The quality of life of persons remaining in long-term care facilities is very similar to the quality of life of seniors who reside with family or alone.

The aim of the article is to discuss the importance of formal and informal sources of retirement security of Poles in the face of current economic, social and demographic changes. Formal sources are understood as the institutional pension security (regulated by law), while the informal source will be primarily considered to be family support (the so-called natural pension security). Following the introduction, the first section shows demographic trends in Poland and refers to pension security from the public pension system. The second section presents data sources and research methods used in the article. The third section shows the results of research on planned protection in old age. The fourth part discusses and concludes the results of the study. The research shows that not many Poles save for old age, counting on the support of the state and children.

Attention in the article is focused on the basic concepts in the gerontological sense, namely: aging, old age and elderly people. The in-depth analysis concerned three areas of issues: aging of society, aging in society and proposals of preparation for old age. Aging is a process that affects everyone and should be prevented. Demanding and even challenging older people is one of the methods.

The subject of this article is a big city social Policy towards old people with an example of Warsaw. The author was inspired to write this text with her partici- pation in a workgroup “Exclusion of elderly persons,” which prepared a diagnosis and formulated initial suggestions to the Social Strategy for Warsaw 2009–2020. It seems, that regardless the differences between big towns, basic goals and assumptions for the policy towards senior citizens are similar in the majority of metropolitan communities. Due to the fact that any proposal concerning social policy should be preceded by a diag- nosis, the article begins with the description of demographic situation of big Polish towns (above half million population) and with a diagnosis of the situation of senior citi- zens in Warsaw. Demographic and socio-economic data were obtained from the Central Statistical Office publications.

In the present article has been analysed portrayals of older women which appear in the memoirs of the nineteenth century Russian women writers. J. Sushkova, A. Kern and A. Smirnova­-Rosset in their memoirs most often depict remarkable family members such as grandmothers and aunts, family friends. They focus on the analysis of their personalities, spiritual values and kind-heartedness rather than their physical appearance and signs of physical aging. Among the old ladies portrayed in the memoirs we encounter pious women, wise, experienced, understanding and hospitable women as well as overbearing women or even hostile towards other people. It has been proved in the article that the old women’s behaviour was determined by their age, marital status, social position, their personal qualities and life experience.

Cтатья посвящена образам пожилых женщин, представленных в воспоминаниях русских дворянок XIX в. Старушки, выступающие в мемуарах Е. Сушковой, А. Керн, А. Смирновой-Россет — это чаще всего бабушки и тети авторов воспоминаний, приятельницы семей. Авторы воспоминаний обычно немного места уделяли внешнему виду своих героинь или чертам их физического старения; прежде всего их интересовали характер, достоинства сердца, духа, значит то, что самое ценное в человеке и навсегда остается впамяти следующих поколений. Среди старушек, представленных в мемуарах, были как богобоязненные, хорошие, снисходительные и гостеприимные женщины, так и не терпящие возражений, а даже враждебные по отношению к другим людям. В статье показано, что их поведение зависит как от возраста, семейного или общественного положения каждой из этих женщин, так и от жизненного опыта и черт характера.

Poland belongs to the group of countries in which the ageing process of the population has taken on a very violent dimension. Demographic forecasts indicate that the population of Poland in the middle of the 21st century will be one of the oldest in the group of European Union countries. The ageing of the population is a challenge, not only for the seniors themselves, but also for the whole society. Minimizing the negative effects of the ageing process requires undertaking actions in various areas of social policy in order to prepare for an increase in the number of elderly people with a simultaneous decrease in the number of people at pre-age and working age. The aim of the article is to present the impact and significance of objects and space in which seniors function on the life of older people. The ageing process of the population forces the adoption of measures aimed at adapting the private and public environment to the needs of seniors, in particular people with reduced ability to self-care and self-care. The article uses data from the GUS, NFZ, EC, MRPiPS and the results of the author’s own research.

Obecny stan badań ukazuje, że starzenie się jest postrzegane jako negatywne doświadczenie obarczone problemami związanymi z brakiem finansowego bezpieczeństwa oraz tymi, które dotyczą fizycznych i psychologicznych ułomności. Jednak z teologicznego punktu widzenia, gdzie "teologia" jest postrzegana w kategoriach relacyjnych jako "życie z Bogiem", starzenie się można definiować z perspektywy holistycznego rozwoju osobowości i w rezultacie mówić o starości kategoriami pomyślności oraz rozkwitu osoby.

According to the principles of life-span psychology, development is a lifetime process that lasts from birth to death. It is multi-dimensional in nature and encompasses both progressive and regressive change. The paper focuses on developmental changes typical of the last period of life, and investigates limitations and barriers impeding personal development in the elderly. Personality traits that may prevent positive adaptation to the old age are indicated, together with the opportunities for development in late adulthood and the factors conducive to positive ageing.

The article is an attempt to present, on a literary level, two differing perspectives of old age in various texts of the Hebrew Bible. First, a suggestion is made regarding the point in life when somebody could be regarded as old. A brief mention is made of the longevity of characters appearing in the so-called Primeval Cycle of Genesis 1-11. Then, it is indicated that Levitical instructions of Numbers 4 and 8 as well as rules of valuating people in Leviticus 27, can settle the beginning of old age at fifty or sixty years of age respectively, dependent on the type of work one performed. Second, the article focuses on positive aspects of old age in the Hebrew Bible, showing that to grow old was desired, since it was regarded as a realization and fulfilment of somebody's life. Old age in certain contexts can be viewed as a blessing from YHWH (e.g., Exod. 20,12) and a reward for a righteous living (Ps. 92,12-15). Old people according to Levitical traditions are to be respected because YHWH himself respects their old age (cf. Lev. 19,32). In early sapiential traditions of the Book of Proverbs, old age is connected with wisdom as this qualification assumes not only theoretical knowledge, but requires much practical experience. Therefore, wisdom seldom goes hand in hand with the young. Third, the article proceeds to present negative aspects of old age described in various traditions of the Hebrew Bible. It is pointed out that those texts speak honestly of infirmities of being old, such as weaker eyesight and taste, decreasing ability to procreate, and increasing disposition to being manipulated by others. A special accumulation of negative features of old age can be found in a later sapiential tradition of Qoheleth 12,2-6. Yet, it is suggested that old age is not the worst experience accoring to the sage, but endless oppression and loneliness are (cf. Eccles. 4,1-3.7-12). Finally, it is noted that some traditions expressing eschatological hope restore and promote the positive picture of old age. Deutero-Isaiah looks to a lengthening of human life far beyond a hundred years (Isa. 65,20). The Book of Jubilees 23,27 gives hope of extending human life to nearly a thousand years, which may be viewed as returning to the unrealized ideal of the Primeval Cycle in Genesis 1-11. Thus, old age can be viewed mainly as a positive perspective of human life.

Year 2012 was declared the European Year of Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity. The eyes of Europe have been directed on an important issue of the problems of the elderly. Old age, which is naturally inscribed in human development, should be filled with satisfaction and joy, is often a phase of loneliness. Loneliness is very difficult for people in old age. Its social, emotional and axionormative dimension may be highlighted. In this work, I emphasize the need to become interested in the elderly, for whom appropriate prevention and intervention strategies should be prepared.
