Entrepreneurship is an evolving category that plays a vital role in socio-economic development. It has also become an important research area in economics, management, and other fields of science, where it takes into account the different dimensions and approaches to the presented issues, on a macro, mezzo, and micro scale, as well as in local, regional, national, and international dimensions which have both economic and non-economic nature. Entrepreneurship is conductive to developing innovative projects and undertaking creative activities and initiatives that affect an individual, society, and economy. It is associated with the formation of entrepreneurial attitudes related to such ways of perceiving the world, thinking, or acting which create opportunities to implement social and economic innovations and take advantage of development opportunities. It also enables the search for effective ways to operate on the market and achieve better results in terms of profitability or efficiency. Entrepreneurial activities, initiatives, and projects often require support provided by introducing appropriate regulations and instruments and establishing institutions that constitute the external environment. They can contribute to the development of unused areas of business activity. Education also plays a significant role in a better understanding of the concept of entrepreneurship.

In the paper I resume some problems concerning the teaching of historiography at the Faculties of History in Poland. Having thirty hours to present historiography from Antiquity to Present Times, the Polish scholars must answer to the following questions: is it necessary to discuss with students every stage of the development of history, or maybe would it be bett er to focus on the twentieth century historical schools and tendencies? In what proportion the national history should be included in the universal one? Based on my personal teaching experience, I try to show how that kind of dilemas could be resolved.

This paper investigates certain problems encountered when technology-based instruction is employed in teaching English as a foreign language. Three EFL specialists from Saudi Arabia are interviewed and their insights on solving those problems are presented. Many academics feel ill-equipped to utilize new technologies in teaching because they are technophobes who fear or dislike technology or do not have sufficient experience in employing computer applications. Other academics found technology-based teaching time-consuming, leading to increased workload, and demanding high levels of technical support. Solutions to face the reluctance to engage in electronic forms of teaching include the provision of instructional support to provide faculty with the necessary technical skills, changing college policies to consider teaching with technology an activity for which faculty receive credit, improving the reward system to motivate faculty to better productivity and higher performance, and addressing critical work-related issues, such as workload.

The use of digital video has gained a prominent position in enhancing not only aural reception but also active production skills in the language classroom. The present paper seeks to share a set of three lessons plans based on the use of educational mini-videos that enhance the development of students' oral skills through an active learning methodology. Though implemented as a part of the ESP undergraduate course for engineering students at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), these lesson plans can be easily adapted to other ESP/EFL/ESL situations. We aim at encouraging language teachers to use innovative ways to integrate educational videos into their teaching practice around the globe.

The central aim of this paper is to examine the relationships and implications of the education-employment nexus for recent university graduates in Italy by analysing the main elements that influence college graduates' employment probabilities three years after graduation. In addition, it provides a comparison among Italian macro-areas regarding graduates' region of residence in 2010. In this sample, continuous work experience during undergraduate studies, further postgraduate studies, older graduation ages and being married or divorced are characteristics that increase the probability of being employed compared to being unemployed three years after graduation. We used micro-data from a nation-wide survey carried out by the Italian Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in 2011 on a representative sample of 33,696 graduates belonging to the 2007 cohort. The results confirmed the existence of significant differences in graduates' employment among Italian macro-areas. Graduates who were employed in the South in 2010 have shown a strong marked profile that is unfavorable to women and is distinguished by the oldest ages of graduates at the time of graduation and in post-graduation pursuits.

Příspěvek se zabývá aplikací myšlenek Jana Amose Komenského, jež vtělil do svého sedmidílného pojednání pod názvem Všeobecná porada o nápravě věcí lidských, do penitenciaristiky. Přestože se Komenský přímo vězeňstvím nezabýval, Všeobecná porada nabízí hodně styčných ploch, jež lze s úspěchem využít v penologii a penitenciaristice.

The article presents the application of Jan Amos Comenius`s ideas, comprised in the seven-part treatise entitled „General Consultation of an Improvement of All Things Human“, into the penitentiary studies. Although Comenius did not deal directly with prisons, the „General Consultation...“ offers many areas of interaction that can be successfully used in penology and penitentiary.

The article critically examines the modernization of the Higher Education (HE) sector from the perspective of reflexive modernization. The source of radical change of HE in Poland was the neoliberal institutional solution, opening HE institutions to privatization, competition and marketization and liberating them from the heteronomous bureaucratic structure legitimized by the conditions of the previous system. To explain the nature of the changes in Higher Education, three analytical categories of reflexive modernization are used as heuristic tools: individualization, risk and reflexivity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching effects, not only on public health but also on the global economy, social interactions, and daily life. It has highlighted the importance of global cooperation and the need for more investment in public health and emergency preparedness. The pandemic also exposed weaknesses in many countries’ educational management systems; it has forced many higher education institutions to adopt new teaching and learning methods to minimize the risk of transmission. This resulted in the need for comparative studies to evaluate the effectiveness of different pedagogical responses and to find a common ground on the most effective practices and responses that would help higher education institutions better prepare for similar challenges in the future. The present study provides a comparative study and outcomes through a record of the pedagogical responses by higher education authorities in two completely different contexts (Algeria and the UK). The authors of the paper beforehand adopted a desktop analysis approach through valid and first-hand reliable sources like government and university official releases. This research methodology would involve a systematic and rigorous approach to data collection and analysis to ensure the reliability and validity of the research findings. Through coding and thematic analysis of the collected data, the researchers concluded that the efficiency of the responses and decisions adopted by higher education institutions varied depending on a range of factors such as the institution's resources, infrastructure, and student population. However, the pandemic highlighted the need for agile and serious responses to ensure the safety and well-being of students and the campus community.

The aim of the Bologna Process is, amongst others, to improve the mobility of students in Higher Education. The Erasmus programme helps students study at other European universities, get to know other countries, live a different culture (folklore, food, language, etc.), develop their autonomy and mature as adults. The international seminar ’The improvement of the mobility through the collaborative exchange’ took place in Cadiz, Spain, in May 2015. The Universities of Glasgow (The United Kingdom), Madeira (Portugal), Gazi (Turkey), Linz(Austria), Zielona Gora (Poland) and Cadiz (Spain) participated in this seminar. The representatives of the countries expressed their concern regarding the problems students may encounter during the mobility. The literature has pointed out that economic, social and academic tension students experience may, in some cases, generate or exacerbate mental disorders (Bradley, 2000), generate depression and anxiety (Russell et al. 2010, Ying, Han 2006), and even manifest itself in somatic symptoms (Mori 2000). This might imply classroom absence and drug abuse as side effects. This study describes the positive experiences of five students from the University of Cadiz Erasmus by virtue of a collaborative exchange among universities, detailing the measures taken by host universities to address potential stress issues.

Celem procesu bolońskiego jest, między innymi, poprawa mobilności studentów w ramach szkolnictwa wyższego. Program Erasmus pomaga w studiowaniu na uniwersytetach europejskich, ułatwia poznawanie innych krajów i życia w obrębie innej kultury (poznawanie folkloru, kuchni, języka itd.), wspomaga także rozwijanie autonomii i dojrzałości młodych osób do dorosłego funkcjonowania. W Kadyksie w Hiszpanii w maju 2015 odbyło się międzynarodowe seminarium pt. "Poprawa mobilności poprzez wymianę opartą na współpracy". Uczestnikami byli pracownicy uniwersytetów z Wielkiej Brytanii (Glasgow), Portugalii (Madeira), Turcji (Ankara), Austrii (Linz), Polski (Zielona Góra) oraz Hiszpanii (Kadyks).Przedstawiciele tych krajów wyrazili troskę w związku z problemami, których studenci mogą doświadczać w związku z mobilnością edukacyjną. Literatura przedmiotu pokazuje, że napięcia ekonomiczne, społeczne i różnice edukacyjne to doświadczenia, które mogą, w niektórych przypadkach generować u studentów takie problemy jak: nasilanie zaburzeń psychicznych (Bradley 2000) i występowanie depresji i lęków (Russell i inni 2010, Ying, Han 2006), pojawianie się objawów somatycznych (Mori 2000), przyjmowanie narkotyków, zbyt częste nieobecności na zajęciach. Niniejsze opracowanie opisuje pozytywne doświadczenia studentów, którzy wzięli udział w mobilności w pięciu uczelniach partnerskich Uniwersytetu Cádiz z wyszczególnieniem środków podjętych przez goszczące uniwersytety w celu rozwiązania potencjalnie stresujących dla studentów problemów.

In a society increasingly mediated by technology, the medium has created unparalleled opportunities. As a result, it has refocused educators’ attention on how technological literacy is both an essential learning outcome in all higher education programs, and the intermediary, the means to achieve the digital competences expected from employees. In the field of English for Specific Purposes, and at a time when technology is perceived to enable quick and effective access to a vast number of sources of information and knowledge, teaching a language confronts teachers and students with divergent views that converge into what we perceive to be interconnected paths. We critically reflect upon these interconnected paths in order to obtain further insights on how technology, namely Machine Translation and Computer-Aided Translation, is perceived by business communicators who are learning English in an ESP environment. Within the premises that translation is an act of intercultural communication, our case study addresses mirrored perceptions of the English language, the act of translation, and the use of technological tools. Our study draws on both perspectives and discusses how mirrored images of students and teachers converge through project-based approaches, rooted in practical, short visual tasks with a clear and immediately visible purpose.

Artykuł poświęcony jest reformowaniu szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce w latach 1989–2009 a ściślej mówiąc regulacjom prawnym, które bądź to weszły w życie, bądź jako projekty nowelizacji prawa wskazywały propozycje zmian w funkcjonowaniu szkolnictwa wyższego na przestrzeni ostatnich 20 lat. Zarysowane w ten sposób zostały dzieje reform pozwalających na stopniowe modelowanie systemu szkół wyższych równolegle do zmian gospodarczych, społecznych i politycznych w Polsce, a także na realizację Procesu Bolońskiego i umiejscowienie się w europejskiej przestrzeni edukacyjnej. Celem artykułu jest zilustrowanie procesu reformowania szkolnictwa wyższego także z perspektywy debaty publicznej, która towarzyszyła stanowieniu prawa w tym obszarze. Głosy bezpośrednio zainteresowanych reformami reprezentantów środowiska akademickiego, zazwyczaj krytyczne, dotyczą nie tylko zasadności wielu z proponowanych zmian, ale przede wszystkim dowodzą słabości samej reformy – kolejności podejmowanych w kierunku przygotowania reformy działań, wadliwego przygotowania dokumentów rządowych, sposobu przeprowadzania konsultacji społecznych. W szerszym kontekście wskazuje się na słabość polityki edukacyjnej państwa w odniesieniu do szkolnictwa wyższego

Between the obligation of carrying out their mission to ensure the quality development of higher education and the right to function as important centers where knowledge is taken, developed and transmitted, this paper will examine the technological developments of university libraries as an important part of higher education. Digital and electronic experiences applied in Albanian universities libraries will be brought to the attention of the public. This paper is based on the questionnaire survey conducted at public university libraries in Albania. Opinions of librarians regarding ICT application were elicited using a structured questionnaire, followed up with interviews. In the case of non-response by libraries is consulted their official web sites to have a more complete information. In addition, secondary sources were consulted as domestic and foreign literature in this field. Results show that: 1) the level of application information technology in public university libraries in Albania is acceptable. The most important and serious problem is the lack of the unique University Library ICT Policy; 2) serious handicap is the lack of educated librarians in using information technology; 3) the proportion of university library activity goes more digital, so the digital collection becomes reality in the public university libraries. This paper brings conclusions that contribute to: a) national information communication technology policy for university libraries and b) the creation of an integrated system for management and transmission of knowledge at the national level for all Albanian university libraries.

Scientists from five Swedish universities were interviewed about open second cycle education. Research groups and scientists collaborate closely with industry, and the selection of scientists for the study was made in relation to an interest in developing technology-enhanced open education, indicated by applications for funding from the Knowledge Foundation 2013. The study is founded on Conole’s (2012) seven organizational purposes for open education, Coursera’s eight models (Daniel, 2012), and Clarke’s (2013) four strategies for open education, and raises the question whether open education and MOOCs might be a way to reinforce research collaborations and research environments. The researchers displayed a positive attitude towards expanding the technology-enhanced learning and openness, and foresee few problems with openness when industry participates in teaching. Nonetheless, the scientists’ operating models and strategies for developing technology-enhanced learning and open education, are vague. Conclusively: although the interest is obvious, in order to succeed with technology-enhanced open education and strengthening the research groups, the variables for purposes, operating models, strategies, pedagogic models, and obstacles need to be calibrated and made more deliberated, preferably in collaboration between the scientists and industry.
