The paper is devoted to the problem of generating sequences of binary vectors having joint distribution allowing for correlation between individual elements. A procedure for generating such a distribution from uncorrelated binary and multinomial pseudo-random data is proposed. Certain properties of the proposed procedure are examined in the simulation study.

In Turkey, urbanization, industrialization, migration, new job opportunities, the widespread of communication networks, the tradition, the economic and the educational system, and the emerging differences in family structure revealed many changes in the social, cultural and demographic structure of the society. This situation has caused the change of the quantitative and semantic characteristics of old age. Further he problems of old age that have remained within the family boundaries in the past are still affecting the general population. In our country, older population experience social problems such as lack of education, labor market exclusion, poverty, abuse and neglect, diseases and lack of nursing care etc. The purpose of this study was to reveal the problems and life satisfaction of older adults in Turkey. As a result, the older population in Turkey naturally bears the highest level of the traditional community characteristics. This situation is the most important reason why younger and older generations differ in terms of lifestyle. The older population have had to live within the boundaries of insufficient income and poverty, had formal education that would never comply with the requirements of modern life, suffered from a disease, and become in a position to produce passive behavior against other generations because their knowledge is not suitable for modern life. This group consists of individuals who are increasingly exposed to negligent and abusive behaviors. Even the healthiest of them find it challenging to maintain their daily lives without their relatives. The majority of older adults remain distant to all "new" technologies. Rather than having a quality life, they explain their life satisfaction subjectively, with profound patience and trust mostly stemming from their beliefs and values.

When tapping in synchrony with an isochronous sequence of beats, participants respond automatically to an unexpectedly early or late beat by shifting their next tap; this is termed thephase correction response(PCR). A PCR has also been observed in response to unexpected perturbations of metrical subdivisions of a beat, which suggests that participants have temporal expectancies for subdivisions to occur at particular time points. It has been demonstrated that a latent temporal expectancy at 1/2 of the inter-beat interval (IBI) exists even in the absence of explicit duple subdivision in previous IBIs of a sequence. The present study asked whether latent expectancies at 1/3 and 2/3 of the IBI can be induced by a global experimental context of triple subdivision, and whether a local context of consistently phase-shifted triple subdivisions can induce different expectancies. Using the PCR as the dependent variable, we find weak evidence for latent expectancies but strong evidence for context-induced shifts in expectancies. These results suggest that temporal referents between beats, which typically are linked to simple ratios of time spans, are flexible and context-dependent. In addition, we show that the PCR, a response to expectancy violation, is independent of and sometimes contrary to the simultaneous phase adaptation required by a change in subdivision timing.

The article focuses on Husserl’s phenomenological philosophy as an intentional-genetic theory of experience. I inquire into the elementary forms and principle of the organisation of subjective experiences and investigate the concepts of type in the con-text of pre-predicative constitution. I attempt to show how far type, conceived as a con-crete and acquired coherence of homogenous experiences, determines the process of interest-awakening even before higher predicative procedures—such as discursive and reflexive thinking—take place. Following such a path, phenomenology comes closer to the philosophy of life, to the Gestalt theory, and to the psychoanalytic theory of under-standing.

Friends with Benefits relationship is defined as a relation between friends who engage in sexual activity on repeated occasions, without any romantic commitment. The aim of this article is focused on the most commonly investigated aspects of Friends with Benefits relationships, such as: prevalence, motives, and characteristics of the relation participants. The current research explores differences regarding ways in which men and women make friends with benefits (FWB) relationships. Individuals currently involved in FWB relationships (134 persons: 65 men, 69 women) were subjected to online examinations. The results indicate both similarities and differences as sex was a more common motivation for men to begin such relationships, whereas emotional and sexual motives were more common among women. These relationships are considered as a novelty among human relationships, especially in the area of Polish research, and they require a further exploration.

PL

Związek Friends with Benefits (FWB) (w dosłownym tłumaczeniu „przyjaciele z korzyścią/bonusem”) to relacja, w której przyjaciele utrzymują ze sobą powtarzalne kontakty seksualne, wykluczająca jednak romantyczne zaangażowanie. Badania skupiły się na wybranych aspektach związków Friends with Benefits, należą do nich: rozpowszechnienie omawianych związków, motywy, oczekiwania i charakterystyka ich uczestników. Badania miały na celu określić różnice w sposobie, w jaki mężczyźni i kobiety nawiązują „przyjaźń z bonusem”. W tym celu przeprowadzono za pośrednictwem Internetu badania wśród osób zaangażowanych obecnie w relacje FWB (łącznie 134 osoby, w tym 65 mężczyzn i 65 kobiet). Wyniki wskazują na wiele podobieństw, ale także różnic, bowiem seks był częściej wymienianym motywem do rozpoczęcia takich relacji przez mężczyzn, podczas gdy motywy emocjonalne i seksualne w równym stopniu motywowały kobiety. Związki te postrzegane są jako nowość w dziedzinie relacji międzyludzkich, a w szczególności w obszarze polskich badań, i wymagają dalszej eksploracji.

Our working hypothesis is that the digital culture is remodeling a temporal affect of existence. We attempt to describe how our experience of present time is altered by the increase of digital memory, together with the progressive disappearance of « memory recall » and expectation. This altered presence opens up loopholes which could be called dreams, desire, promise, latency or God. Thus anticipatory algorithm and data translation of present actions of the subject are not a definitive tragedy of our time.

Poczucie skuteczności odgrywa ważną rolę na subiektywne odczuwanie dobrostanu przez jednostkę. Poziom skuteczności jest ściśle związany z oczekiwaniami w trakcie wykonywania każdej czynności. Większe oczekiwania powinny wyzwalać energię i wpływać na skuteczniejsze efekty kształcenia, bądź wykonywanej pracy zawodowej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza poczucia skuteczności z życia studentów, którzy rozpoczęli studia na kierunkach ścisłych i humanistycznych. Badania wykonano na podstawie własnego projektu zrealizowanego wśród 383 studentów Politechniki Rzeszowskiej i Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego. Do badań wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego i standaryzowanego narzędzia badającego poziom skuteczności z życia z wykorzystaniem Skali Uogólnionej Własnej Skuteczności (Generalized Self-Effficency Scale – GSES) opracowanej przez Ralfa Schwarzera i Matthiasa Jeruzalema i przygotowanej w polskiej adaptacji przez Zygrfyda Juczyńskiego. Badania pokazały, że poczucie skuteczności z życia studentów kształtował się na poziomie umiarkowanym. Wzięto pod uwagę następujące zmienne niezależne: uczelnia, płeć, wiek, miejsce zamieszkania i zamożność respondentów. W dwóch badaniach istniało zróżnicowanie w poziomie istotności statystycznej w zależności od rodzaju uczelni i płci badanych. Natomiast biorąc pod uwagę średnią, studenci z Politechniki Rzeszowski przejawili nieco wyższy poziom poczucia skuteczności w przeciwieństwie do studentów z Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego. Wnioski z badań stanowią wyzwanie dla sytemu edukacji, nauczycieli, wychowawców na wszystkich poziomach kształcenia, aby wszelkie zmiany, systematycznie wprowadzane do programów kształcenia mogły odzwierciedlać potrzeby studentów.

The sense of effectiveness plays an important role in the subjective perception of well-being by an individual. It closely relates the level of effectiveness to the expected performance of each activity. Higher expectations should release energy and affect effective results of education or professional work. The aim of this article is to analyze the sense of effectiveness in life of students who started their studies in science and humanities. For this purpose, I have carried research out based on an own project taken among 383 students of the Rzeszów University of Technology and The University of Rzeszow. The research used a diagnostic survey method, and a standardized tool to measure the level of effectiveness in life using the Generalized Self-Efficency Scale (GSES) developed by Ralf Schwarzer and Matthias Jerusalem and prepared in Polish adaptation by Zygrfyd Juczyński. The research showed that the students' sense of effectiveness in life was moderate. The following independent variables were taken into account: university, gender, age, place of residence and the wealth of the respondents. In two studies, there was a difference in the level of statistical significance depending on the type of university and the gender of the respondents. On the other hand, taking into account the average, students from the Rzeszów University of Technology showed a slightly higher level of sense of effectiveness in contrast to students from the University of Rzeszów. The conclusions from the research constitute a challenge for the education system, teachers at all levels of education, so that any changes, systematically introduced to the education programs, could reflect the needs of students to a greater extent.

Perception is a constructive mental process, which cannot be considered impersonally. Similarly, music cannot be cognised solely on the basis of its score, since its coming into being is strictly connected to the activation of human memory and sound imagination. The patterns that emerge from the sounds of heard music enable the listener to draw conclusions regarding the structures those sounds embody. However, such conclusions are accompanied by a degree of uncertainty, which concerns not just the perceived moment of the heard music, but also the way in which it is represented in the listener’s memory. Perception is an inferential, multi-layered, uncertain process, in which particular patterns seem more likely than others. Mental representations of those probabilities lie behind such essential musical phenomena as surprise, tension, expectation and pitch identification, which are fixed elements of theperception of music. The aim of the present article is to describe the essence of three selected types of music modelling, based on spectral anticipation (Shlomo Dubnov), based on memory (Rens Bod), and exploiting the dynamic character of music to obtain information (Samer Abdallah and Mark Plumbley). All these models take account of the element of uncertainty that accompanies the perception of music; hence they make use the foundations of information theory and statistical analysis as measurement ‘tools’. The use of these tools makes it possible to obtain numerical rates, which inform us of the degree of predictability of the musical structures being analysed. One crucial advantage of these methods is the possibility of evaluating them in respect to the use of real musical structures, deriving from actual music, and not abstract structures formed for the purposes of research. We obtain cognitive insight into the analysed music by employing methods of a mathematical provenance, and so we have the possibility of examining music whilst taking account of the role of the listener, but with the use of objectivised methods.

Podjęta w publikacji problematyka została usytuowana w metodologii jakościowej. Badaniami objęto 38 niezamężnych kobiet w wieku 35–42 lata. Celem badań jest poznanie oczekiwań kobiet w wieku młodzieńczym odnośnie do formy życia małżeńsko-rodzinnego. W badaniu zastosowano jedną z odmian studium przypadku, tj. metodę biograficzną. Materiał został pozyskany za pomocą zmodyfikowanej techniki wywiadu autobiograficzno narracyjnego. Wyniki badań dowiodły, że większość kobiet będąc w wieku 19–21 lat chciała wyjść za mąż. Wszystkie respondentki marzyły o ślubie zawartym w Kościele, bowiem temu towarzyszy nierozerwalnie blichtr ślubny. Część kobiet będąc w wieku 19–21 lat nie myślała o wyjściu za mąż. Ich pomysłem na dorosłe życie było funkcjonowanie w trwałym związku nieformalnym. Trzy kobiety będąc w wieku młodzieńczym nie tylko odrzuciły życie w małżeństwie, ale również udział mężczyzny w swoim życiu.

The issue addressed in the publication has been placed within a qualitative methodology framework. The study involved 38 unmarried women aged 35–42. The aim of the research is to learn about the expectations of adolescent women of the form of marriage and family life. In the research, one form of case study was implemented, i.e. biographical method. The material was collected with a modified technique of autobiographical-narrative interview. The results of the study proved that most of the women wanted to get married when they were 19–21 years old. All the interviewees dreamed of a church wedding as it is inseparably accompanied by a wedding show. Some of the women did not consider marriage when they were 19–21 of age. Their idea for adult life was to live in a long-lasting informal relationship. Three adolescent women rejected not only living in marriage but also the participation of a man in their lives.

The article is an attempt to recreate the Greek thinking about the phenomenon of hope. Multilevel ambivalence has been found. Firstly, as expecting either something good or something bad. Then, as a negative hope (in the sense of unreasonable, irrational and leading to crisis) or a positive hope (in the sense of justified, rational and enabling salvation). Finally, as a morally good or bad hope, depending upon the ethical evaluation of its subject. Also, a correlation of fear and hope has been found. The problem of referring hope to time has been put forward. In this context, the views of Hesiod, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics have been considered.

PL

Artykuł jest próbą odtworzenia myślenia Greków o fenomenie nadziei. Stwierdzona zostaje wielopoziomowa jej ambiwalencja. Najpierw jako spodziewanie się albo czegoś dobrego, albo czegoś złego. Następnie jako nadzieja negatywna (w znaczeniu nieuzasadniona, nierozumna i prowadząca do zguby) bądź pozytywna (w znaczeniu uzasadniona, rozumna i umożliwiająca ocalenie). Na koniec jako nadzieja moralnie dobra bądź zła w zależności od etycznej oceny jej przedmiotu. Stwierdzona zostaje też korelacja strachu i nadziei. Postawiony zostaje problem odniesienia nadziei do czasu. W tym kontekście są rozważane są poglądy Hezjoda, Tukidydesa, Platona, Arystotelesa i stoików.
