Keywords: higher education; education costs; educational services market
Costs related to undertaking studies are one of the less studied aspects of the growing interest in higher education in Poland. Every year, hundreds of thousands of households in Poland allocate considerable funds for this purpose. In order to continue their education, young people not only invest heavily, but also often postpone the decision to enter the labor market, and thus lose the income from work that they could obtain by becoming professionally active after graduating from secondary school. At the same time, significant funds for higher education are allocated by the state. The presented results of the analyzes were prepared as part of the research project "Social and economic determinants of study choices of people aged 19–30", carried out by a team from the Faculty of Economic Sciences at the University of Warsaw at the request of the Educational Research Institute. The authors identify the mechanisms of contacts between the four main stakeholders of the education process at the higher level: public and private universities, students (and their households) and the state. Using the latest methodological approaches in the field of experimental economics and conditional choice, they attempt to measure the size, structure and differentiation of higher education costs from the perspective of both the student and the university.

Keywords: contemporary poetry; Hungarian poets; Northern Irish poets;
In my paper, I wish to reveal some astounding similarities between the ways how contemporary Northern Irish and Transylvanian Hungarian poets encounter silence. Along centuries of their different histories, silence has been engrained into the identity of these two nations. Expression of confusion, awe, grief, pain, anger, and shame, their silence is inevitable self-torture. An evil that must be endured with responsibility, and transformed into sweetness and light despite reality, a final resource, an ultimate human response to evade moral disintegration. In my study, the themes, motives, genres, poetical attitudes, and responses of several Northern Irish and Transylvanian Hungarian poets are being compared. There are poems with exactly identical titles. Moreover, the silence of certain poets leads from self-guilt to the fruitful regeneration of both the poets and their audience.

Keywords: political theory; democracy; constitutionalism; crisis; alternatives;
Podle amerického politického teoretika Sheldona Wolina má demokracie prchavou (fugitive) povahu. Nelze ji chápat jako nějakou ústavně zakotvenou formu, jelikož se objevuje pouze příležitostně (Wolin 1994; Wolin 2004: 601– 606). Je projektem, který probouzí politický potenciál běžných občanů. Ti se politickými bytostmi stávají teprve až skrze objev toho, že se určité věci dotýkají jich všech, a skrze společné jednání za účelem dosažení těchto věcí. Naproti tomu „ústavní demokracie“ je demokracií bez lidu jakožto aktéra, jelikož ústava klade limity demokracii a reguluje množství demokratické politiky, které dovolí. Lze říct, že tyto Wolinovy teze, které poprvé formuloval již v 90. letech, dobře předznamenávají nespokojenost mnoha politických a ústavních teoretiků s dnešní podobou ústavních demokracií. Tato nespokojenost vyústila v poslední době do vypracování nových teoretických přístupů, které kritizují zapouzdření moderní politiky do ústavních forem.

Keywords: post-human; cyborg love; human-machine interaction;
Bu makalede, sibernetik aşkın özgün bir biçimi olan insan-makine ilişkileri ve etkileşimleri sosyolojik açıdan ele alınarak, posthümanizm perspektifinden hem insan bedeninin cinsellik amaçlı sunulan makinelere adaptasyonuna hem de makinelerin insan bedenine adaptasyonuna odaklanılmaktadır. İlk olarak, transhüman (insanüstü) ve posthüman (insan sonrası) kavramları arasındaki fark vurgulandıktan sonra, aşk bebekleri, seks robotları ve makineler gibi teknolojik araçlar ile aktarılan ve icra edilen bir aşk pratiği olarak teledildonik makineler analiz edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda ortaya çıkan sorular, söz konusu adaptasyonda insan ve makine arasında simbiyotik bir ilişki olup olmadığı ve insan sonrası sibernetik aşktan ne zaman söz edilip edilemeyeceği ile ilgilidir.

Keywords: modal verbs; phase verbs; predicatives; infinitive; tense; irreality; partial control; split control; strict control; co-reference
The article compares the distribution of complementation strategies in Bulgarian and Russian. In Russian, the opposition of finite complements (introduced primarily by что and чтобы) is opposed to infinitive complements. In the default case, the former do not mark co-reference, while the latter are used in contexts involving co-reference between the main and the embedded clause arguments, although this is not always the case. Bulgarian lacks infinitives, thus, it has no non-finite complement forms. However, the infinitive functions are, to a great degree, fulfilled by да-complements, as opposed to че-complements. The significant differences observed in the data are due to the presence of the finite verb in the complement clauses introduced by the complementizer да. As we demonstrate, the opposition between что / чтобы and the infinitive in Russian and the difference between че and да in Bulgarian have a lot in common, although only Russian infinitive clauses are non-finite in the strict sense. To demonstrate this, we examine the relation between various strategies of complementation, co-reference and tense, and show how different complement types exhibit non-standard types of syntactic control.

Keywords: Polski Ład;jednostki samorządu terytorialnego;udział w podatku dochodowym;subwencja;finansowanie gmin;
Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to assess instruments that compensate local government units (LGUs) for the loss of income from shares in personal income tax and shares in corporate tax in connection with changes in these taxes as a result of Polish Deal program. The assessment was made from the point of view of the financial independence of local government units. Design/methodology/approach: The paper begins with outlining the changes in state income taxes in Poland. The next section concerns the method of assessing the “foreign” income of LGUin the context of financial independence. Then the instruments that compensate local government units for the loss in tax revenues were discussed and their assessment was made from the point of view of the financial independence of LGU. Findings: The following consequences of Polish Deal for LGU can be identified: 1) decrease in tax revenues, 2) deterioration of the structure of budget revenues (increase in the share of “foreign” revenues), 3) establishment of “rescue” instruments in the form of a subsidy development part and changes in the allocation of revenues from shares in state taxes. The financial consequences of the changes brought about by Polish Deal vary depending on the level of local government. The municipalities, including cities with poviat status, will feel them most acutely, as they have the highest share in personal income tax. The mechanism of dividing the development part of subsidy favors some local government units because it relates to the population size and not the actual loss of income from shares in state taxes. Instruments compensating the loss of income of LGU in connection with Polish Deal limit the financial independence of LGU and deepen the lack of transparency in the redistribution of income in the public finance sector in Poland.

Keywords: Dickens; The Mystery of Edwin Drood; imperial Gothic; imperialism; atavism
Discussed alongside its cultural context - the infamous Opium Wars with China, the increasing unrest in British colonies and eugenic concerns involving race - Dickens’s unfinished novel reflects his growing uneasiness about the righteousness of British imperial hegemony and deep-rooted fears of due retribution for imperial sins such as violence, exploitation or controversial spoils of imperial conquests. The aim of the article is to examine "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" as a forerunner of the imperial Gothic genre, with its themes of psychic regression, spectres of atavism, reverse colonisation, going native and moral and spiritual corruption of the coloniser. Questioning British expansive imperialist policies as it does, the novel foreshadows the tropes which later novelists like Henry Rider Haggard, Bram Stoker, Arthur Conan Doyle or Joseph Conrad explored more fully in their writing.

Keywords: vocabulary; learning; acquisition; pair work; foreign language; learner-centered approach;
This review aims to map the state of the art in vocabulary learning and acquisition in pairs within the foreign language classroom. The contribution presents the research from abroad included in the international database Scopus in the range of the last twelve years, concerning acquisition and vocabulary learning (in pairs). Selected quantitative and qualitative studies present the areas that are paid attention to within the acquisition and vocabulary learning concepts. Studies focused on vocabulary learning in pairs emphasize the positive influence of implementing activities focused on vocabulary in pairs. Some of them point out the importance of the teacher selecting pairs.

Keywords: creative analysis; interpretation of poems; Poetic language;
Na počatku bylo ticho. Pak pohled docenta vyloudil z poslucharny několik nesmělych vět. Podobne, poměrně frekventovane povzdechy jsou důkazem, že analyza a interpretace basnickeho textu způsobuje problemy i vysokoškolskym studentům literatury. „Basnicky jazyk“ je pro některe čtenaře nesrozumitelny, jako kdyby byl jazykem cizim. Pedagog v recepčnim procesu sehrava roli zprostředkovatele – jeho ukolem je sbližit indiferentni strany, studenta a baseň, a timto spřatelenim zjednodušit cestu k pochopeni a interpretaci basnickych textů.

Keywords: pragmatic competence; speech acts; apologies; written discourse completion task; oral production task;
During the second half of the 20th century, there was a shift in focus in second language acquisition research from linguistic competence to communicative and pragmatic competence (Hymes, 1972; Canale & Swain, 1980; Canale, 1983; Bachman, 1990; Bachman & Palmer, 1996; Usó-Juan & Martínez-Flor, 2006). This resulted in a growing number of studies on speech acts in general. Motivated by a lack of studies on the speech acts of apology in conversations of Czech learners of English as a foreign language, my dissertation project aims to shed light on apology strategies used by Czech university students. The aim of this paper is to shows the findings of the pilot investigation. The first aim of the study was to compare two data collection techniques – the open-ended written discourse completion task (DCT) and oral production task (OPT). The second aim was to investigate the use of apology strategies by Czech learners of English. The findings suggest that both of the data collection techniques produce very similar data, as the three main apology strategies used by the respondents were the same: they were statements of remorse, reparation and accounts.

Keywords: Ceramic pastes of stove; floor tiles; ceramic sculptures; archeology;
Within the results presented in this monograph, the basic method used to analyse the ceramic pastes of stove and floor tiles and small ceramic sculptures was micropetragraphic analysis. This method provides the most important information on the shard – representation of fragments and rocks, firing temperature, surface treatment etc. The second most frequent method is electron microscopy with an energy-dispersive analyser. This method was used with glazed ceramic artefacts to determine the chemical composition of glazes. The other methods mentioned below were applied when a specific technological phenomenon occurred.

Keywords: development of software services for public administration; Brno City Advisory Board for Accessibility;
The eighth chapter focuses on pitfalls in the development of software services for public administration. The contemporary standard for services is agile process, which helps to lower the risks connected to a more traditional model of project (waterfall) management of technological projects. First, the chapter shows the specifics of agile development in the context of public services, and then it introduces a unique work on the development of an information system, a website and an interface for suggestions for the Brno City Advisory Board for Accessibility. In the development of this software, multiple tensions arose—such as those stemming from the discrepancy between the strategic organizational direction and actual available capacity for such technology developments, the discrepancy between good practice and the possibilities of the contracting authority, and finally, tensions between time and sources, a limited project and the agile process development. Using examples of these tensions, the chapter illustrates its main thesis that the factors of a successful technological project do not so much depend on technology, as on the strategies compensating such tensions, on the overall project organization and the composition of its team.

Keywords: biology class; proteosynthesis of eukaryotes; ways of teaching; didactic pedagogy;
V následující didaktické kazuistice se seznámíme s výukovou situací z hodiny biologie na gymnáziu, která proběhla ve volitelném semináři v maturitním ročníku. Tématem analyzované výukové situace je proteosyntéza eukaryot, tedy molekulární proces, kterým v eukaryotických buňkách vznikají bílkoviny. Problematika buněčné a molekulární biologie, do níž toto téma spadá, je pro žáky z obsahového hlediska velmi složitá (souhrnně viz Koba & Tweed, 2014). Proto se s využitím metodiky 3A (Janík et al., 2013) zaměříme pohledem ontodidaktické a psychodidaktické transformace vzdělávacího obsahu na možnosti jeho strukturace v rámci hodnocené výukové situace. Zároveň se pokusíme navrhnout vhodnou alteraci této výukové situace, která by s využitím prvků aktivního učení (srov. Knight & Wood, 2005; Freeman et al., 2014) žákům usnadnila hlubší a trvalejší porozumění procesu proteosyntézy.

Keywords: 1980s; politics; economy; technology; culture
Many authors consider the 1980s as the time of the “Second Japanese miracle”. The decade has its tops and drops and has a long-term impact on Japanese socio-economic, political and cultural life. Thanks to the intensive implementation of the advances in scientific and technological progress and energy saving, Japan has managed to move from industrial to post-industrial society. The desire of the young Japanese to feel different, more special, their new musical preferences lead to the shaping of many subcultures that influence fashion, design, and music trends not only in Japan but also abroad. The development of animations and comics makes popular not only their creators but also many composers, performers and Japanese culture as a whole.Many authors consider the 1980s as the time of the “Second Japanese miracle”.

Keywords: Cam tavan sendromu; öğretim elemanı; eğitim fakültesi; Glass ceiling syndrome; academician; faculty of education
Bu çalışmanın amacı eğitim fakültelerinde görev yapan öğretim elemanlarının cam tavan algılarının ilişkisel tarama modeli ile incelenmesidir. Bu genel amaç doğrultusunda öğretim elemanlarının cam tavan algılarının çeşitli değişkenlere göre farklılaşma durumlarının sınanması hedeflenmiştir. Araştırma örneklemini 7 coğrafi bölgeden yansız küme örnekleme yoluyla seçilmiş 14 devlet üniversitesinin eğitim fakültelerinde görev yapan ve çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 495 öğretim elemanı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretim elemanlarının cam tavan algıları çoklu roller, kişisel tercih, mentorluk ve kalıplaşmış önyargılar alt boyutlarında düşük seviyede, informal iletişim ve mesleki ayırım alt boyutlarında orta seviyededir. Kadın ve erkek öğretim elemanları ile evli ve bekar öğretim elemanları farklı alt boyutların kadınların üst yönetim kademelerine gelmelerinin önündeki engeller olduğunu düşünmektedir. Yaşa dayalı olarak ulaşılan bulgulara göre 29 yaş ve altı öğretim elemanları informal iletişim ve mentorluk alt boyutlarının birer engel olduğu fikrine en yüksek düzeyde katılım göstermektedir. 60 yaş ve üzeri öğretim elemanlarına göre kalıplaşmış önyargılar alt boyutu kadınların yönetim kademelerine gelmelerinin önündeki engellerden biridir. Öğretim elemanlarının sahip oldukları çocuk sayısına göre çeşitli alt boyutlardaki algıları farklılaşmaktadır. Ulaşılan diğer bir bulguya göre profesör doktor unvanına sahip öğretim elemanları diğer unvanlara sahip öğretim elemanlarına kıyasla informal iletişim alt boyutunun kadınlar için bir engel olduğu fikrine daha az katılmaktadır. Öğretim elemanlarının mesleki tecrübelerine ve görev yaptıkları bölümlere göre de çeşitli boyutlarda cam tavan algılarının farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Bölgesel farklılıklara dayalı olarak Türkiye’nin doğu bölgelerinde cam tavan engellerinin daha yüksek algılandığı ulaşılan bulgular arasındadır. İdari görev almış öğretim elemanları kalıplaşmış önyargılar alt boyutunun bir engel olduğuna daha çok katılmaktadır.

The Armenian presence in the Middle East dates back to ancient times, with the ancestral homeland of Western Armenia being located today in the eastern regions of the Republic of Turkey. While the Armenians are indigenous in some parts of the Middle East, in other parts, they have formed diaspora communities due to a variety of historical circumstances. “Since history has no secret pockets and private laws, things Armenian are also things Near Eastern”, writes Seda Dadoyan, a leading scholar of the history of Armenian-Islamic relations. From the first century of the Christian era, there has been an Armenian presence in Jerusalem, when they came to Palestine as Roman legionnaires and administrators. There is a long and extensive history of “Armenian-Islamic realpolitik with Arabs, Turks, Persians, Kurds as well as heterodox Islam (such as Ismailism)”, according to Dadoyan. Medieval Arab sources provide extensive accounts of Armenians in the Middle East. Indeed, “Arminyah and al arman were presented [in the Arab sources] as indigenous elements of the Near East and the narrative did not single them out from the regional texture”, explains Dadoyan. Since the seventh century, Armenians “have been part of the Islamic world”, and part of what is now the Middle East and its peoples. In the late eighth century, heterodox Armenians allied with “the Muslims on the Abbasid frontiers lands”. More significantly, medieval Armenian histories put the origin of all treaties regulating Islamic-Armenian relations in the Medinan period of Islam (622-632) and see them through a “so-called ‘Prophet’s Oath to Armenians’ (allegedly given to an Armenian delegation from Jerusalem to Medianh)”.
