The subject of considerations undertaken in this article is concerned with the role of lay theories of change in perception and adaptation to changes processes. It was argued that entity and incremental theories about the nature of the world and peoples' traits influence the way an individual interprets changes and the methods of adaptation to them. The assumptions are based on the research concerned the correlates and consequences of lay theories of change and the Richard Lazarus theory of cognitive appraisal. It was assumed that entity theorists perceive change as generally unfavourable event on which they react getting threatened and upset. Because of the fact that entity theorists assess poorly their ability of problem handling they adopt to new situations by withdrawing from involvement or making effort. If avoidance is impossible, they accept the inconvenient circumstances. On the other hand, the incremental theorists response on unfavourable change with hope they can improve the situation. Therefore, they use active methods of coping with negative causes of changes even if they are irreversible. The functionality of both adaptation methods was considered depending on the character of the change (possible to alter or impossible to reverse) and the entity or incremental theory.

The subject of the article is Polish surnames appearing in telephone books of the Ruhr Basin. Presented in it are means of adaptation of Polish surnames to the German language's system. It is shown that despite adaptation it is possible to observe traces of Polish dialects in the surnames of Poles in Germany. These surnames do not differ in structure or frequency from surnames functioning in Poland, although there are among them some not attested today. Also several morphological and semantic types attract the onomastician's particular attention.

The text attempts to identify specific methods used in film adaptations of literary works by Slovak and Czech authors that represent genres of popular culture in the so-called cinematography of transition, defined by historical milestones which reflect various social, cultural and political changes. The normalization process in Czechoslovakia “softened” after 1985 and Czechoslovak cinematography became more open and free, although it still remained controlled by censorship which was not institutionally based. The sci-fi films for children and young adults, such as The Third Dragon (1985), directed by Peter Hledík, and the television film Gemini (1991), directed by Pavol Gejdoš, Jr., are pars pro toto examples of films which were not heavily loaded with ideology. The blood-spattered comedy The Flames of Royal Love (1990), directed by Jan Němec, typifies the period of social change after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and the bizarre film Horror Story (1993), directed by Jaroslav Brabec, indicates the end of the cinematography of transition.

The article presents the information that human body contains the system of electromagnetic fields regulating biochemical reactions and integrating regulatory systems of a body. They present a synergetic model of a body as a complex, open, unbalanced, oscillatory system. Points of acupuncture are called receptors perceiving and transmitting electric magnetic fields as well as systems of channels and meridians and crystals of biogenic magnetite responsible for synchronization of both inner and outer electromagnetic fields. This ensures maximal adaptation of a human body to the changing conditions of the environment.

It is a fundamental property of all living creatures that they adapt to their environment, thus improving their chances of survival. The adaptation of the neurons of the central nervous system is well signalled by the perceptually observed aftereffects. The aftereffects, observed for complex shapes and faces, besides the widely described adaptation to simple visual stimuli, have been more and more studied in the past decades. The paper summarizes the recent results regarding these aftereffects, with special attention to how they shed light on the object and face representation of the human brain.

Optimism is defined as dispositional tendency to have positive (but not negative) expectancies about future and is linked with physical and psychological well-being in adults. Research on the importance of optimism and pessimism in children is limited in Poland by the lack of a developmentally appropriate measure. To test reliability and validity of the Polish adaptation of Youth Life Orientation Test (YLOT) (Ey et al., 2005) 201 students (9 to 20 years old) were surveyed (in two samples). Factor analyses confirmed the factor reliability and recognized the two factor (pessimism and optimism) structure of the Polish version of YLOT. The reliability and stability of the measure were confirmed for both subscales. The expected associations between the Polish version of YLOT and related measures of self-esteem, anxiety, hope and personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion and agreeableness) provided support for the validity of the test.

The paper presents an analysis of 60 individual holdings in terms of meeting of cross-compliance principles. For this purpose, the author used a so-called checklists, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. As it turned out all farms met the requirements for so-called area A of cross-compliance (environmental protection of rural development), as well as comply with the obligations relating to identification and registration of livestock. Significant incompatibilities were recorded in the area C of cross-compliance (animal welfare). Holdings adjustment of the re-quirements will need expensive investments in modernization of buildings. The results of analysis for meeting the safety and hygiene standards in the surveyed holdings turned out to be surprising. In many farms the farmer and his family members were exposed to many dangers, which were related to the improper use of machinery or equipment.

In each phase of adaptation organizations need different capabilities that allow them to adapt to their environment. In the previous article the model of adaptive capabilities was presented and differences in adaptive capabilities between high and low performers were discussed. The primary objective of the study is to identify and examine the key factors influencing the adaptive capabilities of Polish public hospitals that had to respond to a revolutionary environmental change (a redesign of healthcare system). Research indicates that following factors are significant: owners' policy, environment uncertainty, access to resources, leadership capabilities, interorganizational links, change process (pace and sequence), intraorganizational relations, ideology, strategy, decentralization, employees trust in management and their attitude toward change.

Three studies were conducted in order to create a Polish adaptation of the Immersion Questionnaire – a scale measuring video game engagement. The questionnaire was created and adapted as a tool for experimental measurement of the player’s absorption in the game. The reliability and structure of the tool was tested in two studies (Study 1 and 2). The level of immersion proved to be strongly correlated with game satisfaction and the willingness to replay (Study 2). Experimental manipulation of game quality resulted in differences in the level of immersion between two games (Study 3), which confirmed the usefulness of the scale in game research. The presented tool can be applied in academic and industrial research.

Using an anthropological perspective, the authoress analyses the process of adaptation to the immediate space by Polish people hit by the 1997 flood. Places of their residence have been branded with disaster and the feeling of being lost and harmed has been intensified by the awareness of the loss of everything they owned. In order to feel fulfilled in the new situation flood victims had to display an exceptional fortitude and perseverance. It turned out that most of the flood victims worked laboriously to recover their individual space from the time before the flood, to rebuild the feeling of cultural continuity, to reconstruct (or create from scratch) their 'sacred places of their private life'. The adaptation of the degraded space meant also adaptation of the social space, restoration of relations with other people. This condition triggered the natural need to talk, to tell others about the recent experiences, which greatly helped to overcome the trauma caused by the flood, 'slow down' the emotions and start the memory celebration process. She also analyses the situations of the flood victims, who were forced to change their place of residence, who had to settle new, strange spaces, who created a new spatial reality (most often on the periphery of the city) and cooperated in the establishment of a new, local community.

The article aims to provide a review of the currently most accepted models explaining transition and adjustment to retirement, which include role theory, continuity theory, life course perspective, and the resource-based dynamic model for retirement adjustment. One of the main theories explaining adaptation to retirement is role theory. Based on this theory, retirement can be characterized as a role transition (Riley & Riley, 1994), when a job role is weakened or even lost, and roles associated with family and community are strengthened (Barnes-Farrell, 2003). Research suggests that an individual can maintain continuity even through part-time employment (Feldman & Beehr, 2001) or by maintaining leisure activities (Pushkar et al., 2011) after retiring. Continuity theory, therefore, suggests that a retired person is directly responsible for creating an adaptation strategy which may help them in their transition. Life course perspective theory, on the other hand, discusses two main factors influencing retirement: a) individual history -including past life transitions, working and recreational habits (Carr & Kail 2013), and b) individual attributes -such as demographics, health and financial status and transition capabilities (Griffin & Hesketh 2008; Wang, 2007).

Problems of children adaptation, acculturation and integration have been ignored or treated marginally in large literature devoted to migration process. This article discusses problems that children of immigrants in Poland are facing particularly in Polish school. The qualitative research (based on interviews) is focused on immigrant children attending Polish schools mainly in Warsaw and investigates both the perspectives of children themselves and of school as an institution. Different situations of emigration produce different types of challenges for the host country’s school methods and goals. The research presented here is mainly about the first two categories of people mentioned below: 1) children of diplomats and long term contract employees, whose stay in Poland is strictly determined, AND (2) children of economic migrants who choose between long term stay in Poland or further migration, or even when returning home. Their stay in Poland is an element of the individual life strategy of the family. The third group - (3) children of political refugees and persons who attempt to receive the legal status of political refugee. the conclusions of the article also may be of interest for researchers dealing with children of refugees. Poland became a relatively attractive country of immigration because of (1) its relative easy access, (2) relatively high standard of living, (3) its safety and (4) its high level of education.

Human brain and its functions evolved under selection pressures. There are at least a few evolutionary approaches to human mind, behaviour and/or preferences. Apart of sociobiology, human behavioural ecology (HBE), it is evolutionary psychology (EP) that have been developed in the last 25 years. EP differs with other approaches to human mind in methodology and in the attitude to human behaviour adaptability. EP methodology, the Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness and mind modularity concepts, as well as examples of psychological mechanisms related to adaptations acquired in our evolutionary past that do not need to increase biological fitness in modern societies are discussed. These adaptations are: 1.) mechanism of child attachment; 2.) Westermarck effect that explains the emergence sexual aversion to close relatives in childhood and 3.) relationship between man's socio-economic status and his reproductive success in the societies with socially enforced monogamy and effective contraconception. In a few last thousands years man's environment changed dramatically, but due to lack of parallel strong selection pressure, human brain and mind almost did not change. This is why humans have still some psychological mechanisms that might not be perfect adaptations nowadays. EP does not excuse any human behaviour (as EP opponents claim), it only explains the evolutionary roots of psychological mechanisms and preferences. EP provides scientists with the new insight to human mind.

Sacral objects are an important part of the Europe’s religious heritage. For centuries, temples have constituted a key element in the urban morphology; they fit into the urban fabric of European cities and are permanently embedded there. Due to the current laicization of Europe, the adaptation of sacred buildings into secular functions has become a necessity for economic reasons. Their owners, architects, conservators and historians are faced with a dilemma: whether to preserve an object or transform it into another function? Places of worship cannot be considered in solely economic terms due to the identity of the place, its current function and its symbolism. Sacred spaces, apart from their function, structure and form, also have meaning. In holy sites, the symbol becomes a narrative tool. The purpose of a narrative in the cultural context is related to the site, the narrator, the recipient and the time of the narrative. Narrative research into semantic architecture, as one of the means of researching sacred architecture, has potential both in analysis and as a tool to facilitate design processes for the appropriate transformation of sacred buildings to serve secular functions.

Approximately 16,000 people left Estonia during 1924-1938. Among the new destinations, the most important ones were South American countries, especially Argentina and Brazil. At the time, Argentina was an attractive destination for immigrants. In the first half of the 20th century, Argentina surpassed the majority of European countries with regard to the income per capita, health care and education. The first larger group of Estonians (30-50 people) arrived in Argentina in 1924. In each following year, the number of Estonian immigrants fluctuated between 40 and 60, so that by 1930, about 300-350 Estonians lived in Argentina, mostly in the capital Buenos Aires. The current article examines, on one hand, the relationship between (external) environmental conditions of migration and (internal) personal migration related decisions. On the other hand, the micro level of migration is analysed through a biographical narrative, particularly focusing on the impact of personal migration and the adaptation story on the retrospective autobiography. The micro level of migration is observed mainly on the basis of an autobiographical novel by Raimund Podder. His earlier written travelogue, and the letters and surveys of other Estonian settlers in Argentina offer opportunities for substantial comparisons. Text examples from the writings of R. Podder, presented in this article, are inclined to give evidence of a typical voluntary labour migrant: young, unmarried man, whose first phases of adaptation pass without obstacles. However, some background information allows the conclusion that the orientation phase of the adaptation was not without conflicting moments which could leave a nostalgic stamp on the retrospective analysis of his personal life.

The article discusses the difficulties with translating Grimm's Fairy Tales into Polish. The first part demonstrates the specific features of the original text and Bruno Bettelheim's conclusions about 'the meaning and importance of fairy tales'. The second part is a critical review of the existing Polish translations. The third part refers to the main goals of the new Polish translation. The conclusions stress that the new Polish translation should be addressed to the same recipient as the original Children's and Household Tales, i.e., both to children and adults.

In the 19th century Japanese art became increasingly interesting for European artists and writers. Besides the collecting of Japanese artworks, the European artists and writers of the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century were impressed and influenced by the Japanese woodcut. This paper tries to shed some light on those relationships. It is pointed out in the works of painters such as Édouard Manet and Vincent van Gogh and writers such as Max Dauthendey and Peter Altenberg. The research thesis is that painters and writers adept the style and the technique of the Japanese woodcut. The adaptation of the Japanese woodcut by European artists and writers must be seen as transcultural and intermedial.

A positive answer to the above question seems obvious after a critical analysis of the history of the reception of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales and stories in Poland in the second part of the 19th century and in the first part of the 20th century. On the one hand, over a hundred years ago the writer was classified as an author of exclusively children's literature due to intended or unintended misinterpretations of the spirit of his prose. This classification was then inherited by next generations of readers and translators. On the other hand, a huge number of various kinds of mistakes in translation depleted Andersen's unique style. The analysis shows how Andersen's narration was changed to traditional literary style (especially when it came to dialogues); how humour and irony were either overlooked, misunderstood or judged improper for children; how translators miscomprehended Danish grammar and vocabulary; and how little attention was paid to the consistency of the text. The effect is a narration which is 'too sweet' often lengthy, boring, and at times illogical. The analysis compares selected examples from the most recent complete edition of 167 fairy tales and stories translated from Danish by Boguslawa Sochanska (2006) with the previous complete edition (of 155 fairytales and stories) translated from German by Stefania Beylin and Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz, whose work has enjoyed high recognition for 50 years. The detailed discussion of mistakes and misunderstandings in Polish translations done from German also illustrates typical difficulties that appear when translating Andersen's prose. Therefore, the article points out similar problems with giving Andersen's prose its proper shape in the most recent Polish edition.
