Teleinformation technologies are among the fastest developing areas and they are defining the progress of all of humanity. They are changing not only technology and the functioning of technology, but they are also having wide-ranging social consequences. Relations among people are beginning to take on different shapes, social mechanisms function differently, and the dynamics of group behavior is taking on a different course. Modern technologies make possible the efficient managing of people and organizations while restricting the impact of such dimensions as time and space. The striving to increase the efficiency of the functioning of teams leads to a search for new structures and new ways to organize work. Time and space, two basic dimensions of the real world, are also beginning to take on a different meaning.

Conflicts and interests are the two sides of the same coin. Social dialogue function is to be institutionalised if conflicts come into existence in connection with different interests. The changes in health care system require to take into consideration different groups' interests so as to limit open conflicts occurring. Existing social dialogue institutions, especially Tripartite Commission, are not used to regulate conflicts around functioning of the public health care system. The main negotiations is held without social dialogue institutions conducting to dysfunction of the public health care. The aim of this article is to show how we can control the conflicts in order to secure the interest groups be articulated in social dialogue institutions

We are living in times of great interest in human potential in organizations. Human resources are universally treated as the primary capital of a company and an important component of an organization's strategic objectives. Much has been written and said about the need to improve HRM, enriching the forms of managing people, and molding an appropriate organizational culture, while stressing the import of these processes not only to engender employee comfort, but also for business efficiency. Paradoxically however, the strong accent placed on these matters is not always reflected in actual care for the social aspects of company operations.

The author takes into consideration the problems of interactive art. He analyzes the subject matter in the double context of social interaction and HCI, examines a structure of interactive situation, its actors, forms of interactions, and interfaces, referring to numerous examples of interactive artworks. Afterwards, with the example of Myron Krueger's oeuvre, he presents the development of interactive art, a conflict between an artistic experience understood as contemplation and the one perceived as an experience of interaction, the development of forms of interactive art understood as interpersonal interaction/communication in technological context, interaction with responsive environment, and finally, a merger of them both. Next, the models of interactive artwork and of the process of interactive artistic communication are presented. Finally, the author presents an open typology of interactive artworks, analyzing them with reference to the instrument work, the game work, the archive work, the labyrinth work, and the rhizome work.

This paper aims to move the debate over the status of the conflict between emotion and judgement forward by refuting three implicit claims: that conflict between emotion and judgement is always to be avoided; that any conflict should always be resolved and, moreover, that it should be resolved immediately; that judgement should usually take priority in any resolution. Refutation of these three claims leads to recognition of the wide variety of different cases of conflict between emotion and judgement; examination of these cases is aided by consideration of the social context in which the conflicts occur.

In the presented study we focus on the research on the work-family conflict using ESS data from Round 2. We deal with the group of Slovak working respondents with family responsibilities (N=193). In the introduction we briefly define work-family conflict and its predictors, then values, particularly human values according to the Schwartz theory and their relationship to work-family conflict. Results of this research indicate that work interference with family (WIF) was more prevalent than family interference with work (FIW). There were no significant gender differences in either of the directions of the conflict. When we compared groups with low and high levels of WIF, we found significant differences only in well-being. These two groups significantly differed also in some types of values, such as power, achievement, self-direction and safety.

Mediation and other similar forms originating from the catalogue of alternative methods of resolution of conflicts are easily applicable to the resolution of all kinds of disputes and conflicts, as well as some of those that arise in the sphere of activity of public administration. In legal acts that are part of the Polish administrative law system, there exist forms close in their nature to mediation. Public administration bodies can in fact play the role of a mediator while taking action that leads to conciliation between the parties of the dispute. There are no formal obstacles for public administration to take non-executive forms of action and to bilaterally initiate the implementation of unformalised alternative methods of resolution of disputes, including mediation. Of course, some administrative disputes, with regard to their character, are not subject to being resolved by means of ADR. The problems connected with mediation in administration that are di-scussed in the present paper seem to constitute an interesting interdisciplinary subject of investigation with-in political sciences. It appears reasonable to assume that a start of such an investigation by Polish political scientists would enrich the catalogue of research topics with interesting and attractive range of problems, and at the same time world-wide trends in political sciences would be followed. Moreover, Polish political science would enter the sphere of the humanities, whose representatives have already taken up advanced research locally in Poland. One can also expect practical benefits of such scientific analyses in the form of modernization projects aimed at Polish political system, taking into consideration its specific nature and tradition.

The armed conflicts that broke out in 2011 in the Arab Maghreb led to mass violations of human rights. Democratic countries, above all the member states of the European Union that attach special importance to respecting the dignity and rights of individuals, observance of the rules of a democratic state and declare aid to the citizens of countries outside the EU - faced the necessity to respond effectively to the developments in North Africa and the Near East. The necessity to act was further enhanced by the fact that the conflicts broke out in an area sensitive to the security of EU member states. Within the complex of conflicts in the Maghreb, the most difficult one to regulate and abate at the beginning of 2011 was the conflict in Libya. On account of the military involvement of European countries and different stances of particular EU member states on this issue, the conflict in Libya can have strong negative consequences for a common foreign policy and security of the EU. The article analyzes the acceptability of international intervention in Libya and the attitude of European states and societies to the military aid to Libyan insurgents.

Currently, the issue of conflict is having a great impact on social sciences. This is disclosed in research and publications. In management theory, conflict means a dispute over deficient resources or inconsistency of objectives and values. At the same time, controlling diversity and transforming conflict into cooperation are the main basis of management that helps various organizations survive and develop. Conflicts that make their appearance in the healthcare services are encoded in the scenery of contradictory interests. However, in light of process of the aging of society and problems of healthcare service financing, it should be emphasized that their significance and intensification is increasing. Research on organizations indicates four fields of conflicts-interpersonal, intergroup, inter-organizational, and conflict-tender. A typology of conflicts existing in healthcare service institutions, their roots, consequences, dynamics, and management styles are introduced in this paper. System conditions, large numbers of stakeholders, complexity of structures, relationships in healthcare service organizations, and a severe shortage of resources affect both potential and revealed conflicts in the National Health Service. This is why they are so frequent, complex, sensitive, and difficult to solve.

Współcześnie zagadnienie konfliktu znajduje szeroki oddźwięk w naukach społecznych, o czym świadczą liczne badania czy publikacje. W naukach o zarządzaniu konflikt wiąże się ze sporami dotyczącymi podziału deficytowych zasobów lub sprzeczności celów i wartości. Z kolei panowanie nad różnorodnością i przekształcenie potencjalnego konfliktu we współpracę stanowią istotę zarządzania, pozwalającą różnym organizacjom przetrwać i rozwijać się. Konflikty występujące w opiece zdrowotnej wpisują się w krajobraz sprzecznych interesów, choć należy podkreślić ich rosnące znaczenie i nasilenie wobec potrzeb starzejącego się społeczeństwa oraz problemów finansowania usług medycznych. Badania nad organizacjami wskazują na istnienie czterech obszarów konfliktów: interpersonalny, intergrupowy, interorganizacyjny oraz konflikt-przetarg. W pracy przedstawiono typologię konfliktów występujących w organizacjach opieki zdrowotnej, główne ich przyczyny, skutki, dynamikę i style zarządzania konfliktami. Uwarunkowania systemowe, liczni interesariusze, złożoność struktur i relacji wewnętrznych w organizacjach opieki zdrowotnej, drastyczne niedobory zasobów powodują, że występowanie potencjalnych i ujawnionych konfliktów w opiece zdrowotnej jest tak częste, złożone, drażliwe i trudne do rozwiązania.

Abstract: Since management control was introduced to the act on public finances, a discussion has been held on the issue, also in this periodical. This regulation, which seems to be rather unclear, causes fears that management control, if misinterpreted and wrongly implemented in the administrative practice, may become a barrier to modernisation, especially with regard to opportunities to popularise a new attitude to conflicts in the public administration. The author of the article discusses the contemporary theory of dispute resolution and a simplified model of its application in the management practice, and then he presents management control in this light.

The article deals with the Russian-Chechen conflict which took place after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Its aim is to present the factors that influenced the conflict, arguments of the parties to the conflict and the attitude of the main superpowers - which was determined by political and economic interests - and organizations towards the problem. In order to do that, the authoress analyzes the issue reading available publications and source materials. The analysis shows that the conflict does not have a clear-cut nature. The basic human rights are pushed into the background while the particular interests of superpowers get the upper hand. The lack of real action of the international community had an impact on the situation of refugees, Chechnya's citizens and the whole Caucasus. So the superpowers and international organizations are losers, too - they compromised themselves when they were confronted with the problem as their actions were connected with, among others, economic interests in the region. On the other hand, having launched some terrorist attacks, the Chechens discredited themselves in the eyes of the public opinion. Today, they also fight a lost battle for independence. But the subsequent generations of Chechens living in exile or in the devastated Chechnya can change the situation.

The territory of Nagorno-Karabakh had become the matter of Armenian-Azerbaijani disputes long before the establishment of the Soviet power in the Caucasus. The colonization of Armenian citizens at the Muslim territories had been rising after every conflict which the Russian Empire was involved in. Especially after the Crimean War and Russian War which took place between 1876-1878. After the conflicts which took place between 1905-1907 and 1918-1920 Karabakh became a part of Armenian national myth. The establishment of the Soviet power in November 1920 resulted in recognition of Karabakh as a part of one Republic. The fact that during the times of the Soviet Union the conflict didn't exist can be only related to the military state. The begining of the current phase took place in 1987 the Armeni Supreme Council's decision from 10th January 1990 about covering the Nagorno-Karabakh in the budget and granting the citizens the right to vote in general elections was another step leading to escalation of the conflict. The authorities in Baku maintain that the essential condition is the principal of territorial integrity. It says that the resolution which would assume the integration of Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh to be the only one and proper. On the other hand the Armenians relate to the law of nations, and aspire to self-determination. According to them the declaration of independence became effective. The dispute is still one of the key problems destabilizing the situation in the furthest part of the Caucasus.

An effort to fully understand the interface of work-family conflict and social support can be observed in the psychological research for more than three decades. This study explored relationship between different sources of social support and work-family conflict in its both directions and three forms. Work-family conflict was measured by the Work-family conflict scale (Carlson, Kacmar, Williams, 2000), whereas social support was measured by twelve items constructed for the purposes of the present study. The data were collected via on-line questionnaire during the period of two-months (October 2013 – November 2013). The sample comprised of 100 participants both female (n=64) and male (n=36), working full-time, married and had one or more children. For women the results suggested that the only effective support that significantly reduces work-family is social support obtained from direct supervisor. Specifically supervisory support reduced perceived work interference with family caused by strain. For men the results indicated that collegial support significantly reduced work interference with family and vice versa in its behavioural aspect. Furthermore supervisory support significantly decreased work interference with family. However at the same time supervisory support increased family interference with work. Finally both spouse and broad family support significantly reduced family interference with work for men. This study contributes to enhanced understanding of the relationships between social support and work-family conflict in our region.

The article outlines the latest history of a former Yugoslav province that less than three years ago, following a fiasco of international negotiations on its status, unilaterally proclaimed sovereignty. Issues connected with tense Albanian-Serbian relations are highlighted, bringing into relief the key moments in the evolution of Albanian separatist tendencies in Kosovo and some mechanisms of the political game played by Belgrade, Prishtina and the international community regarding Kosovo in the 1990s (until the outbreak of an open armed conflict over the province between NATO and Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999). The situation of Kosovo between 1999-2009 is characterized through data on the transformation of this province's legal and political systems and a model according to which international presence on its territory was realized since June 1999 (taking into account the similarities and differences between the period prior to the acceptance of regulations included in the so-called Ahtisaari plan by the international community and Kosovars, and the period following acceptance of the plan in 2007).

In the complex tapestry of global security concerns, the intersection of civil conflict and the rise of Islamic militancy in specific regions have garnered increasing attention. This paper focuses on the situation in Somalia, a country long riven by internal war and now struggling with the rise of Islamic militarism. The country’s history has been marred by prolonged periods of internal strife characterized by political instability, clan rivalries, and state collapse. Against this backdrop, Islamic militant groups, notably Al-Shabaab, have risen to prominence, exploiting the power vacuum and societal grievances to propagate their extremist ideology. Therefore, this paper aims to unravel the nuanced interplay between the nature of civil conflict and the ascent of Islamic militancy, shedding light on the historical, socioeconomic, and governance-related elements that have facilitated this convergence. By examining these dynamics, this paper underscores the imperative of effectively addressing root causes to mitigate the influence of Islamic militancy in Somalia.

The aim of the article is not to criticise the dominant in Polish sociology of the late 1970s and the early 1980s concepts of social structure and dynamics but to outline proposals for further research and explanation. The first, author discusses the concepts of social structure, conflict and dynamics. The stress is on the activist and relationist concept of structure. Conflict is analysed in three dimensions: behavioral, psychological-attitudinal, and structural. Dynamics is also analysed in three dimensions: changes in the distribution of various social characteristics; social processes; and the stages of development of socialism. The second part discusses theoretical and methodological orientations in Polish macrosociology until the mid-1980s. The third chapter suggests that new research programs should take into account the following perspectives: 1) classic Marxian analysis of social structure, contradictions, and revolutions, 2) contemporary structural Western Marxism, 3) modern conflict theory, 4) critical theory of society, 5) conservative social theory stressing social costs of excessive role of the state, and 6) the elites theories.

In this study, the author deals with factors which have contributed to civil wars and public discontents in the Republic of Congo. The basic hypotheses of the text are the following: the conflict in the Republic of Congo was causes by failed democratization process in 1991 – 1997; and the failed democratization process was influenced by a number of internal and external factors including (in)direct intervention of France, insufficient support from international community, and internal political clashes based mostly on ethnoregional platforms. While the first hypothesis arises primarily from internal political realities, including the rule of strong personality, heritage of Communism, and elimination of relevant opposition forces as well as inability to reach a true national consensus, the second deals with political cliché of many African countries which are more or less deponent on foreign economic and political support, especially from the side of former colonial powers.
