مستخلص: Purpose: The study aims to analyze determinants that influence the attitude of students who use social media for emergency remote teaching. Design/methodology/approach: The research was carried out on a sample of 465 students from various universities in Poland. The confirmatory factor analysis and then the regression method were used for the purpose of conducting the study. Findings: The results pointed to the ease of social media use and their clear impact on improving emergency remote teaching. The vast majority of respondents also indicated an increased use of social media in relation to the pre-COVID period, which confirmed the thesis that the use of social media for emergency remote teaching during the pandemic was helpful. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the research carried out were the low diversity in the fields of study. Most of the respondents were students of economic, sociological, and technical departments. Students of medical and artistic faculties participated in the study to a small extent only, which is also an important premise and direction to be taken into account while organizing further research on a wider group of students. Originality/value: The study brings new conclusions regarding the educational use of social media. The results provide important conclusions for universities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (English): The study based on archival, published historical documents and other available information sources highlights the activity of sickness funds that functioned in Ukraine on the territory of modern Prykarpattia during the period of Polish rule in 1919-1939 (the Second Polish Republic, in Polish: II Rzeczpospolita Polska) as a prototype of health insurance. The analysis of these documents allows to determine the peculiarities of the activity of these institutions in relations with society and the state, methods of financing, rights and obligations of the members of these organizations, specific features of the decision-making management, insurance cases and ways of compensation. The retrospective approach used in this study makes it possible to recreate the picture of the past in the field of health care in general and health insurance in particular, even with the lack of historical and legal sources of a certain historical period. Seeing the present through a peculiar prism of the past helps to dive into the inner life of the society with all its manifestations and ideas contributing to better understanding of modern social processes. In other words, the longer you look back, the further you see ahead. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (Polish): Badania, oparte na archiwalnych, opublikowanych dokumentach historycznych i innych dostępnych źródłach informacji, zwracają uwagę na działalność Kas Chorych, które funkcjonowały w Ukrainie na terenie współczesnego regionu przykarpackiego w II Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej jako pierwowzór ubezpieczeń zdrowotnych. Analiza tych dokumentów pozwala na określenie specyfiki działalności tych instytucji w relacjach ze społeczeństwem i państwem, sposobów finansowania, zbioru praw i obowiązków członków tych organizacji, specyfiki podejmowania decyzji zarządczych, spraw ubezpieczeniowych i sposobów odszkodowań. Zastosowane w niniejszym opracowaniu podejście retrospektywne pozwala na odtworzenie obrazu przeszłości w zakresie ochrony zdrowia w ogóle, a ubezpieczeń zdrowotnych w szczególności, nawet przy braku kompletu źródeł historycznych i prawnych należących do określonego okresu historycznego. Spojrzenie na teraźniejszość przez swoisty pryzmat przeszłości pomaga wniknąć w wewnętrzne życie społeczeństwa ze wszystkimi jego przejawami i ideami, co przyczynia się do lepszego zrozumienia współczesnych procesów społecznych. Innymi słowy, im dłużej patrzy się wstecz, tym dalej się widzi przyszłość. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: In my paper I follow the emergence of the science of electricity in Poland. I believe that the science of electricity established in 1777 served as a new social program. Through the introduced translations, this science was intended to create a new social imaginary and social relations. I describe two interrelated processes: the social construction of the science of electricity, and negotiations between secular and religious definitions of electricity. In the first part of the article I show that both processes were related to each other and contributed to hybrid interpretations of electricity – as a "material being" and "spirit of the world." In the second part of the paper I pay attention to the efforts made by Jan and Jędrzej Śniadecki to secularize the science of electricity in Vilnius. I follow the metaphor of 'laboratory' used in their works in order to describe the natural phenomena. I claim that Jędrzej Śniadecki established not only a new theory of electricity (a "radiant being"), but in fact a new understanding of social space. I point out that he did that by transferring scientific practices into the cultural space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات جغرافية: POLAND

Abstract (English): The authors prove that relic land fragmentation can be a valuable component of urban and suburban landscape as a remnant of its history and a testimony to the past economic and social phenomena, as shown in the case study of the City of Białystok and the Town of Łapy, located in northeastern Poland. Such relics deserve to be considered in spatial planning, inducing both problems and new opportunities. Accordingly, the relevant discussion focuses on two examples of places where land fragmentation reached unprecedented proportions, especially in the 1920s. The most extreme historic examples are described, such as a farm divided into 1,221 plots in Łapy (52°59´28-N, 22°53´07-E), mentioned in 1926. Based on the most recent cadastral maps (2020), the contemporary remnants of extreme land fragmentation in Białystok and its land district (approx. 52°51´00.8--53°23´02.4-N; 22°28´09.1--23°56´45.4-E) are assessed. Distribution of landscapes with prevailing plots narrower than 30 m and with plots narrower than 15 m is mapped. The results of the study are discussed against the background of broader historical and geographic context, in order to evaluate such "fossil landscapes" as a valuable cultural component. Recommendations are also formulated on the protection of relics of land fragmentation. In particular, the structure of their baulks should be locally restored to make highly fragmented arable lands discernible. The results of the study can contribute to discussions on the protection of fragmented land in other countries, especially in Eastern Europe, where the land fragmentation ('checkerboard') came into existence and perpetuated as a result of both settlement patterns and subsequent economic and social processes. However, compared to other urban areas, including those in neighboring countries, land fragmentation in Białystok is of a scale unknown elsewhere and deserves special attention from a conservation and heritage perspective.

Abstract (Polish): Autorka dowodzi, że reliktowe rozdrobnienie gruntów może być cennym składnikiem krajobrazu miejskiego i podmiejskiego jako pozostałość po jego historii, a także świadectwo minionych zjawisk gospodarczych i społecznych, co pokazano na przykładach z północno-wschodniej Polski, koncentrując się na Białymstoku i Łapach. Takie relikty zasługują na uwzględnienie w planowaniu przestrzennym, stwarzając zarówno problemy, jak i nowe możliwości. Omówiono to na przykładach, w których rozdrobnienie gruntów osiągnęło bezprecedensowe rozmiary, zwłaszcza w latach dwudziestych XX wieku. Opisano najbardziej ekstremalne przykłady historyczne, takie jak gospodarstwo podzielone na 1221 działek w Łapach (52°59´28N, 22°53´07E), wspomniane w 1926 roku. Na podstawie najnowszych map katastralnych (2020 r.) oceniono współczesne pozostałości skrajnego rozdrobnienia gruntów w Białymstoku i jego powiecie ziemskim (ok. 52°51´00,8-53°23´02,4N; 22°28´09,1-23°56´45,4E). Zmapowano rozmieszczenie krajobrazów z przeważającymi działkami węższymi niż 30 m oraz z działkami węższymi niż 15 m. Wyniki badań zostały omówione na tle szerszego kontekstu historycznego i geograficznego w celu oceny takich „krajobrazów kopalnych" jako cennego elementu kulturowego. Sformułowano również zalecenia dotyczące ochrony reliktów fragmentacji terenu. W szczególności struktura ich miedz powinna być lokalnie odtworzona, aby wysoce rozdrobnione grunty orne były rozpoznawalne. Wyniki badania mogą również przyczynić się do dyskusji na temat ochrony rozdrobnionych gruntów w innych krajach, zwłaszcza w Europie Wschodniej, gdzie fragmentacja gruntów („szachownica") powstała i utrwaliła się w wyniku zarówno wzorców osadniczych, jak i późniejszych procesów gospodarczych i społecznych. Jednak w porównaniu z innymi obszarami miejskimi, w tym w krajach sąsiednich, fragmentacja gruntów w Białymstoku ma skalę nieznaną gdzie indziej i zasługuje na szczególną uwagę z punktu widzenia ochrony dziedzictwa.

مستخلص: The paper reconstructs the ways of attributing meanings to IT specialists' careers at BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) centers in Poland. The findings rely on empirical data, collected through autobiographical narrative interviews. The technique of analysis applied in the study was inspired by grounded theory methodology and allowed for the identification of a basic social process at the analytical stage, namely, "career planning." On the one hand, the analysis also showed how IT specialists' careers are given meanings concerning career planning; there seem to be three main ways of understanding one's career in IT: (1) in terms of reaching economic and social stability, (2) as a transition period in a career as an IT specialist, (3) with regard to becoming an expert in IT. On the other hand, the second axis of analysis has been conceptualized, which is comprised of other subjective and objective elements that may shape career planning. These include the biographical experiences of work, the context of the Polish BPO industry, and career planning resources. Furthermore, a typology consisting of three ways of attributing meanings to IT specialists' careers at BPO centers has been put forward and analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات موضوعية: SOCIAL responsibility, CONSUMER behavior, SOCIAL processes, YOUNG consumers, CONSUMER ethics, ENERGY consumption, ENERGY policy

مصطلحات جغرافية: POLAND

مستخلص: Although European energy policy supports the reduction of energy consumption, the current economic and political situation in Poland and uncertainty related to the origin of energy sources do not support it. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to identify and assess the factors that affect the energy-saving behaviour of Polish consumers in the process of energy consumption. The research problem concerns the specificity of behaviours that are part of new trends in consumption, such as greening and the ethical dimension of consumption. The research question arises as to what the social responsibility of consumers is in the process of energy consumption. The research problem comes down to the question of factors that determine the behaviour of an individual consumer in the energy market. In order to realise the indicated purpose of the article, a conceptual research model was built and direct research was conducted using the research method, which was an online survey (CAWI). The research was run among 1422 individual consumers. After verifying 14 research hypotheses, it can be concluded that energy-saving behaviour is influenced in similar ways by a set of factors. In the paper there are findings which show that the generally understood energy-saving behaviour (Y1—at home and Y2—off-site) is influenced by the following factors: X1—energy-saving knowledge, X3—green consumer values, X5—social influence, X6—beliefs, and X7—consumer awareness. The specific mechanism of influence of each of the dominant factors is that the higher the intensity of these factors in consumer behaviour, the more actions are taken to save energy inside or outside the home. However, X2—energy-saving cost perception and X4—materialism presents this influence mechanism only for Y1—energy-saving behaviour at home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (English): The presented review article is devoted to the monograph Взаємодія політики і права у процесі суспільної трансформації в Україні та Республіці Польща [Interaction of Politics and Law in the Process of Social Transformation in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland] by Oksana V. Kukuruz. The author emphasises that politics and law are equally important regulators of social relations, sharing a common goal - the effective development of society. She argues that a socially useful model of interaction between politics and law should be based on: scientific basis, constitutional values, information and communication component, political and legal responsibility. The researcher proves that the proper interaction of politics and law is possible through the maximum convergence of their practical and theoretical levels, based on scientifically justified recommendations.

Abstract (English): The article presents the results of research on the issues of Poland's energy transformation from a sociological perspective. The exploratory analysis covered the attitude of the Polish society to the energy transformation, i.e. a change in the methods of generating energy in Poland, which results from the climate policy adopted by the Polish government.1 The aim of the article is to present social awareness - the social expectations and perceptions of Poles regarding the energy transformation understood in this way - to determine whether the opinions and views of the Polish society are in line with the planned and implemented energy transformation processes. The article provides an answer to the question about the Polish society's attitudes towards the energy transformation and energy sources - to what extent the attitudes towards the proposed solutions to the problems are positive, and to what extent negative. For this purpose, the method of analysing the existing statistical data was used The basis of the secondary data analysis are the results of public opinion polls, carried out by the Public Opinion Research Centre (CBOS) in the period from 19872 to 2021. The sociological perspective adopted here assumes that the energy transformation is not only an economic but also a social process. For this reason, public support, in particular the positive attitude of respondents to new energy sources, is considered an important element of its success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract (Polish): Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań dotyczące problematyki transformacji energetycznej Polski w perspektywie socjologicznej. Analizie eksploracyjnej poddany został stosunek społeczeństwa polskiego do transformacji energetycznej, czyli zmiany dotyczącej sposobów wytwarzania energii w Polsce, która wynika z przyjętej przez rząd Polski polityki klimatycznej. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja świadomości społecznej - społecznych oczekiwań i wyobrażeń Polaków dotyczących tak właśnie rozumianej transformacji energetycznej - określenie czy istnieje zgodność opinii i poglądów społeczeństwa polskiego z planowanymi i wdrażanymi procesami transformacji energetycznej kraju. Artykuł udziela odpowiedzi na pytanie, jakie są postawy społeczeństwa polskiego wobec transformacji energetycznej i źródeł energii - w jakim zakresie postawy społeczeństwa wobec proponowanych rozwiązań problemów są pozytywne, a w jakim negatywne. W tym celu wykorzystana została metoda analizy zastanych danych statystycznych. Wykorzystano reprezentatywne dla społeczeństwa polskiego sondażowe badania opinii publicznej realizowane przez Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej (CBOS) w okresie od 1987 do 2021 roku. Przyjęta tu perspektywa socjologiczna zakłada, że transformacja energetyczna jest procesem nie tylko gospodarczym, ale także społecznym. Z tego powodu za istotny element jej powodzenia przyjmuje się społeczne poparcie, w szczególności pozytywny stosunek badanych do nowych źródeł energii. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: As compared to other complex social processes, scientification of public discourse is a phenomenon which is not well described in social sciences. Frequently, the idea of scientification is understood as methodological changes within social sciences which bring them closer to natural sciences and, in this sense, is related to traditional Positivist approach. In the article, the meaning of the term has been changed in order to describe a situation in which public political discourse is being transformed in such a way that, in effect, it resembles scientific discourse. This change in understanding the meaning of the idea of scientification has been presented on the example of an analysis of Polish MPs’ statements at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland in 2020.
