The success of migration policy implementation depends on many factors, but officials play a crucial role in this process. The decisions and projections of migrants considering their further stay in Poland depend on the interpretation of legal, institutional and formal regulations. The aim of the article is to analyze the subjective experiences of Ukrainian economic migrants with Polish institutions and the personnel representing them. Our considerations have been located within neo-institutional theory. Studying the subjective interpretations of migrants' experience is an important element of analysis that will allow us to check how the elements of migration policy are implemented in practice. Considering the findings resulting from the study, it can be assumed that the functioning of efficient administration should not be limited only to compliance with legal rules, but should go beyond them, within morally allowed limits, in order to increase the effectiveness of the activities carried out in various dimensions. ; Sukces wdrożenia polityki migracyjnej zależy od wielu czynników, ale kluczową rolę w tym procesie odgrywają urzędnicy. Decyzje i projekcie migrantów dotyczące dalszego pobytu w Polsce zależą od interpretacji przepisów prawnych, reguł instytucjonalnych i formalnych w tym aspekcie. Celem artykułu jest analiza subiektywnych doświadczeń ukraińskich migrantów zarobkowych z polskimi instytucjami i reprezentującymi ich pracownikami. Nasze rozważania zostały umieszczone w paradygmacie neoinstytucjonalnym. Badanie subiektywnych interpretacji doświadczeń migrantów jest ważnym elementem analizy, który pozwoli nam sprawdzić, jak elementy polityki migracyjnej są wdrażane w praktyce. Biorąc pod uwagę ustalenia wynikające z badania, można założyć, że funkcjonowanie sprawnej administracji nie powinno ograniczać się tylko do zgodności z przepisami prawa, ale przekraczać je w granicach moralnie dozwolonych, w celu zwiększenia skuteczności realizowanych działań w wielu wymiarach.

The article refers to the concept of transactional analysis, one of modern branches of psychology appreciated not only by psychologists. In consequence, it is applied in differentareas of life, such as education. The article explains the notion of "ego state" and the personality structure as defined in the approach in question. There is also a presentation of several egograms constructed in the past, which are used to measure how particular ego states are cathected. They are also used in therapy and research. Moreover, the author presents an egogram for measuring the activation of each ego state in the second order structure. The tool has been used in a number of studies conducted in the area of education, including pedeutology. The author, however, indicates the necessity of results verification through qualitative analysis in such studies. ; Artykuł nawiązuje do koncepcji analizy transakcyjnej, jednego z nurtów współczesnej psychologii, który zyskuje coraz szersze zastosowanie również w innych obszarach życia, w tym w edukacji. Podstawowymi terminami dla niniejszych rozważań są: stany Ja oraz struktura osobowości, zdefiniowane zgodnie z założeniami wspomnianej koncepcji. W artykule zaprezentowane zostały narzędzia – egogramy – pomagające określać zakres kateksjonowania (uaktywniania) poszczególnych stanów Ja, które z powodzeniem wykorzystywane są zarówno na gruncie badań naukowych, jak i w terapii. Szczególnej charakterystyce poddane zostało autorskie narzędzie tego typu, wykorzystujące w analizie strukturę osobowości drugiego stopnia, co okazało się efektywne w licznych badaniach w szeroko rozumianym obszarze edukacji, w tym także w badaniach o charakterze pedeutologicznym. Autorka wskazując zalety narzędzia, podkreśla jednocześnie konieczność uzupełnia wyników uzyskanych w ten sposób poprzez analizy o charakterze jakościowym.

In recent decades, society has fundamentally changed; there are political changes affecting education and, consequently, demands on teachers' work change, as well as parents' and society's expectations of teachers. The main aim of this qualitative research is to map the changes in the conditions of teachers' work in the Czech Republic in the last thirty years according to the subjective perception of teachers-experts, i.e. respondents. The respondents are teachers who have been active in the profession for at least thirty years. All the respondents are women working as primary school teachers (Dáša, Lucie, Jana, Danka, Blanka, Dominika, Karolína).In the research we deal with the following areas: interpersonal relationships at the workplace, communication and cooperation with pupils' parents, and the teacher-pupil relationship.The most important results of this research are as follows. The respondents are aware of and perceive the decreasing authority of the teacher today. They point out that the teacher's authority has degraded in the eyes of pupils, parents, and society. The most widespread problem faced by teachers is the disruptive behavior of pupils, which may interfere with teaching.Moreover, today's teachers sometimes have to deal with parents who are completely uncritical of their children, whom they trust completely. When problems arise, these parents never see the root cause in their child but in other classmates or, most frequently, in the teacher. If a child receives a bad grade, these parents are willing to go to the teacher and try to find the error on their side rather than in their own children.

W artykule przedstawiono jakościową metodę śledzenia procesu (process tracing) i jej przykładowe wykorzystanie w badaniu stosunków międzynarodowych. Po pierwsze, dokonano ogólnej charakterystyki metody. Po drugie, przedstawiono debatę toczoną w naukach społecznych na temat rozumienia mechanizmów przyczynowych i przyczynowego wnioskowania oraz użyteczności metody śledzenia procesu do testowania hipotez. Po trzecie, omówiono różnego rodzaju dyrektywy kierujące postępowaniem badawczym w ramach metody śledzenia procesu. Po czwarte, w końcowej części artykułu zademonstrowano implementację metody w nauce o stosunkach międzynarodowych na przykładzie analizy zakończenia zimnej wojny. W końcu sformułowano pewne wątpliwości związane z metodą. Celem artykułu jest wprowadzenie do polskiej nauki o stosunkach międzynarodowych jakościowej metody badawczej, która nie jest wykorzystywana przez polskich badaczy, chociaż większość z nich określa swoje stanowisko metodologiczne jako jakościowe. Autor w szczególności uzasadnia i ilustruje przekonanie, że metoda śledzenia procesu może stanowić mocną propozycję w rozwiązywaniu problemów związanych z rozpoznawaniem stosunków przyczynowych w nauce o stosunkach międzynarodowych. Autor posługuje się w artykule metodą analizy treści. Metoda śledzenia procesu została przedstawiona w oparciu o analizę tekstów uznanych zwolenników metody w filozofii nauki i nauce o stosunkach międzynarodowych oraz prac poświęconych problemom stosunków międzynarodowych badanych przy zastosowaniu tej metody. Wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy pozwalają na sformułowanie rekomendacji do stosowania metody do badania stosunków międzynarodowych. Autor przedstawia również słabe strony metody, których istnienia powinien być świadomy każdy z niej korzystający. ; The article presents a qualitative method known as process tracing and exemplifies its use in the study of international relations. Firstly, the general characteristics of process tracing are shown. Secondly, the debate in social sciences on the understanding of causal mechanisms and causal inference is discussed, and whether process tracing is useful in testing hypotheses. Thirdly, different types of directives that guide the research procedure within the framework of process tracing are presented. Fourthly, the final part of the article demonstrates the implementation of process tracing in International Relations on the example of the analysis of the end of the Cold War. The article is concluded with a few doubts the method raises. The aim of the article is to introduce a qualitative research method to the Polish studies of International Relations. This method has not been used by Polish researchers, although most of them declare their methodological standpoint as a qualitative approach. The author justifies and illustrates the belief that the method of process tracing can be strongly recommended in solving problems related to the identification of causal relations in International Relations. The author uses the content analysis method in the article. The method of process tracing is presented based on the analysis of the texts of renowned supporters of the method in the Philosophy of Science and International Relations and of works dedicated to the problems of international relations studied using this method. The results of the analysis make it possible to formulate recommendations for the application of the method to study international relations. The author also presents the weaknesses of this method, which every scholar employing it should be aware of.

Participation research as the answer to the assumptions of the social model of disability?

The social model of disability, the requirement for the subjective treatment of participants in social research and the availability of research subjects to the research process, resulting from the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, put researchers before the need to seek new research strategies that grasp the world of meanings of the respondents. The model of participatory research, which seems also appropriate for capturing the intersectionality of the gender and disability, seems to meet these challenges.

The following text is an attempt at an analysis of the condition of the Polish minority in Ukraine. The subject of discussion is the tension appearing in relations between minority groups, the country where they live in and their foreign homeland. Loyalty to each of these two countries requires giving up part of their identity. From the perspective of the history of the twentieth century, the author reflects on the (im) possibility of consolidating the Polish movement in the context of the revolutionary events in Ukraine which took place in 2014. The author attempts to apply the principle of triangulation of sources, using the knowledge acquired during qualitative research in Ukraine conducted among the Polish community in February, July and August 2014 and also on the basis of other quantitative studies of a comparative nature conducted among minorities living in Ukraine, including the Polish one and its equivalent in Poland. ; The following text is an attempt at an analysis of the condition of the Polish minority in Ukraine.

Multilayering hardrock/heavymetal music in "Only Rock" resources

This article is composed of two parts. The first discusses the role of metal hardrock music (broadly understood) in the structure of the most opinion-making music magazine after 1989, ie "Only Rock", and in the second study focused on analyzing the content of the monthly magazine in terms of title genres, but in the optics of genology. The text uses existing statistical data, studies and, of course, source materials. Methodologically and substantively – in a narrower sense, the publication encompasses two new streams: Metal Music Studies (humanistic) and Journalism and Music Media (social sciences, media studies), and in broader terms quantitative and qualitative research (including structural analysis). The research showed that metal music was a constitutive aspect of the subject matter in a strictly formal rock writing, and even some of the leading elements.

The article aimed to examine to what extent the social (advisory) councils operating in Poland can be considered a social accountability mechanism. The author refers to the theoretical assumptions of social accountability, which constitutes one of the forms of accountability of public authorities. Additionally, the paper presents the peculiarities of social councils, which are well-known, highly institutionalized, and formalized collegial bodies operating worldwide for many years. The article presents the results of qualitative research (semi-structured interviews) among members of three types of social councils, i.e., youth councils, senior citizens' councils, and councils for people with disabilities. The analysis included 46 interviews with their members conducted in selected cities with county (districts) rights in Poland.
