This article presents a study that tested the impact of audio description (AD) style on dimensions of presence (spatial presence, ecological validity, engagement, and negative effects) in blind and visually impaired audiences. The participants were shown two fragments of a naturalistic drama with two styles of description: 'standard' and 'creative'. While the former followed the principle of objectivity, the latter was an innovative type of AD that included elements of camera work and subjective descriptions of the characters, their actions, and scenes crucial to the plot. The findings show that the emotive AD prompted higher levels of presence for all participants. Overall, the new AD style seemed more natural, especially to participants with recent sight loss. The results suggest that creative scripts may stimulate presence and thus increase the chances of AD users having a more immersive viewing experience.

This article examines the extent to which individual-, party- and system-level characteristics affect the attitude congruence of voters and candidates for elections to the European Parliament. It examines attitudes towards basic policy packages in the socioeconomic and libertarian/authoritarian issue domains and on immigration and European Union integration. The analysis is based on the 2009 European Election Study and European Election Candidate Survey, which covered 27 countries of the European Union (EU), 162 parties and over 11,500 respondents. It shows that the European Parliament suffers from inequalities in representation for different groups of citizens, representing much better the attitudes of educated, middle-class and politically knowledgeable voters. Furthermore, the analysis uncovers significant differences across political parties in how well they match up to voters. We provide tentative evidence suggesting that voters are better represented in open and ordered ballot systems. [Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications Ltd., copyright holder.]

Publikacja prezentuje innowacyjny model wsparcia pracownika zagrożonego bezrobociem lub zwalnianego w wyniku restrukturyzacji firmy w czasach dekoniunktury gospodarczej wypracowany i testowany w ramach projektu badawczo-wdrożeniowego "PI-PWP: INNOWACJE NA ZAKRĘCIE - testowanie i wdrażanie nowych metod outplacementu", realizowanego na zlecenie Wojewódzkiego Urzędu Pracy w Białymstoku. Celem projektu było adaptowanie, utworzenie, testowanie, a następnie upowszechnienie i wdrożenie na terenie województwa podlaskiego do VI 2015 r. dwóch modeli outplacementu dla pracodawców oraz pracowników przedsiębiorstw przechodzących procesy modernizacyjne i adaptacyjne. W publikacji zaprezentowano jeden z dwóch modeli, jakim jest model wsparcia zwalnianych pracowników, w kontekście wyników badań regionalnych, portugalskich inspiracji będących efektem trzyletniej współpracy ponadnarodowej z Instituto de Soldadura e Qualidade (ISQ) z Lizbony oraz wyników rocznego testu w podlaskich instytucjach rynku pracy z udziałem zwalnianych pracowników opisanych w drodze ewaluacji narzędzi składających się na model ESP_Pracownik.

In this paper we study differences between generations in the degree to which long-term and short-term factors affect party preferences in established and consolidating European democracies. Scholarly literature has shown that younger cohorts in Western Europe are less likely to be guided by social class, religion and left/right than older cohorts. Little is known, however, about the extent to which such differences exist for the effects of short-term factors. Similarly, inter-generational differences in the effects of long- and short-term factors in post-communist countries have remained largely unexplored. Based on the European Election Study 2009, we show differences between generations that are compatible with de-alignment of younger generations along traditional cleavages. Yet, we also see an increased importance of attitudes towards immigration among the younger generations, which could signal a form of re-alignment. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]
