The main purpose of the research is to recognize and interpret Old Polish diarists’ reflections on language and local culture in a wider cultural perspective. Literary works by J.Ch. Pasek, J. Sobieski and some foreign authors who visited the Republic of Poland have been analyzed. Two questions seem to be particularly interesting in the context of this theme: what features of local culture distinguished the Poles from people in other countries and regions in Europe in the 17th century and how these differences affected the contacts with the environment and the self-esteem of the protagonists in each work. In view of the author’s own and other people’s opinions, a multiple image of the “Polish cultural code” has been revealed, whose elements were maintained in Polish customs and mentality for a long time.

The main aim of the article is to describe the state and challenges of anti-discrimination education in Poland and to analyse how it influences the rights of national and ethnic minorities and foreign pupils. The question, whether we deal with the backlash against anti-discrimination education in Poland has been preoccupying the experts and practitioners for some time. The application of specific antidiscrimination provisions in the education sector plays the key role in this regard. The irrefutable reality is of a retreat of the state in these areas that threatens its social role and has the result of inequalities, xenophobia, and intolerance. The central question then becomes – how might the backlash against anti-discrimination education affect the situation of national and ethnic minorities and foreigners and social attitudes towards these groups.

Research background: A traditional form of state intervention in agriculture comprised regulating the rights to ownership. One of the often discussed aspects of regulations refers to those binding for foreigners. Purpose of the article: The objective of the article was to analyse the position (of the European Economic and Social Committee and the Polish legislator) regarding the phenomenon of purchasing agricultural property by foreigners as well as the opinions of farmers on the consequences for the agricultural land market resulting from ending the transitional period in Poland for purchasing agricultural property by foreigners as on 1 May 2016. Methods: Direct studies were conducted in 2015 among 86 farmers in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Findings & Value added: The main reason for such a discussion conducted globally and in Europe is the phenomenon of excessive concentration and the use of land for non-agricultural purposes. Whereas, the European Economic and Social Committee indicates that in order to limit unfavourable practices in the EU member states, activities directed at preventing speculation, preserving local traditions and ensuring a proper usufruct of land should be permitted. The majority of farmers were afraid of the changes in the agricultural land market after the end of the transitional period in purchasing agricultural property by foreigners. They emphasised the above by expressing opinions on regulations binding in the transitional period and their effectiveness. With regard to the provisions of the Act of 5 August 2015, farmers were afraid of an increase in prices of agricultural land and the capital advantage of foreigners.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected almost all the inhabitants of the globe, and mi-grants were among those who felt it particularly hard. Their problems were largely related to numerous limitations in the international movement of persons. As part of the ﬁght against these effects, national governments have initiated a discussion on the idea of launching vaccine certiﬁcates, sometimes called “Covid passports”. The concept has been developed and has led to the adoption of speciﬁc solutions in various countries, as well as on a wider, regional scale, in particular in the form of the EU digital COVID certiﬁcate. In the paper, the authors outline individual concepts and consider whether a vac-cine certiﬁcate does indeed bear the features of a travel document and whether it is justiﬁed to use this term. They go on to contrast the idea of issuing such certiﬁcates with national, EU and regional law. Finally, they reﬂect on what formal and material conditions must be met by such a document in order to enable the holder to cross borders, and whether such tools can be reused in the event of future pandemics. The research allows several conclusions to be formulated. The EU digital COVID certiﬁcate or other certiﬁcates cannot be regarded as travel documents, in particular, they cannot be called passports. Vaccine certiﬁcates are not meant to be a privilege or a restriction, but only an instrument that allows possible restrictions in the international movement of persons to be waived for the holder of the document (assuming that the restrictions themselves are not illegal). They should be consid-ered a temporary measure, applied in extraordinary circumstances as an instrument in the hands of states or state organizations, not private entities. In such a formula, they can also be used in the event of similar epidemic threats in the future.

Polish eastern border is both the internal and external EU and Schengen border. Polish eastern border is so called border between East and West of Europe. It has a significant role in Europe security. Therefore the aim of article is to show the threats to border’s security and also state security. Author will present the structure and dynamics of border criminality on Polish eastern border in 2004-2013. The hypothesis is that the border criminality is strongly influenced by migration, and in case of Poland it is high on the eastern section of the state border (external EU border). The analysis of structure and dynamics of border criminality on Polish eastern border in 2004-2013 will be conducted mostly in reference to the political factors that influenced the border status. There were EU enlargement (in 2004), Schengen enlargement (in 2007) and introduction of Local Border Traffic with Ukraine (in 2009) and with Russian Federation (in 2012). Those factors include some elements of EU policy towards ex USSR countries and influenced the scale of border criminality and other threats to border security on the East of Europe. The data presented will show the scale and specific of criminality on different border sections (with Russia, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine).

This article presents Knowledge of English as a Second Language in Personnel Dealings with Foreigners in the Context of International Security. If Ukraine wants to be classified among tourist and international business countries, it should have capable, polite as well as educated security forces. Education in this case means that, for example, a Ukrainian police officer can talk to a foreigner, tourist who is in trouble, had an accident, or is even a suspect – in the foreigner's native language. A lot could be done in this respect for better co-operation of security officers, including police officers, and better knowledge of foreign languages.

Free movement of production factors is one of the main conditions of effective economy. This applies to capital as well as knowledge and labour. However, an influx of foreigners to the given country may lead to consequences which are compatible or incompatible with its economic and social interests. These consequences depend on the specific situation of the given country in various areas connected with the state of labour resources, economic trends and strategy, or the situation on the labour market. The principal aim of the present article is to provide an insight into the rules for offering jobs to foreigners in Poland and to describe the phenomenon of their employment based on the data aggregated by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. On the basis of the research conducted, a systematic increase in foreigners' employment in Poland could be observed in recent years (particularly as a part of the so-called simplified procedure applied to short-term employment). The largest group of foreigners are Ukrainians, who work mainly in agriculture, forestry, fishery, hunting, construction, retail and in household employing workers.

The work presents the results of the preliminary research on the employment of foreigners’ that were conducted among Polish banking institutions being the international corporations with a global reach. The initial results of the analysis shows the potential impact that specific employment policies exert on personal attitudes of foreign executives and operations of the companies in which they are employed. The analysis described in this work identifies the most important elements which hinder the development of those banks whose employment policies are based on the assumption that hiring foreigners is more beneficial than taking on local managers regardless of their familiarity with Polish market mechanisms. The qualitative research that were conducted in the form of the scenario-based interviews, were carried out with both, a group of managers (mainly heads of HR departments and senior executives) cooperating with the foreigners on everyday basis, and the foreigners themselves. The preliminary studies have revealed a number of trends and phenomenon that were described within this work.

The Perception and Comprehension of Audiovisual Advertisements Among Learners of PolishThe main aim of this article is to examine the extent to which international learners of the Polish language are able to understand audio-visual advertisements based on idiomatic phrases. To answer this question, research was conducted amongst students of B2 level or higher, according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages (Council of Europe, 2002). This paper joins two distinct but inseparable disciplines in this field of study – namely marketing and language – in order to demonstrate audio-visual commercial advertising as a language discourse. Postrzeganie i rozumienie reklam audiowizualnych wśród uczących się języka polskiego jako obcegoCelem artykułu jest zbadanie, w jakim stopniu uczący się języka polskiego jako obcego są w stanie zrozumieć audiowizualne przekazy reklamowe, oparte na związkach idiomatycznych. Aby odpowiedzieć na to pytanie, przeprowadzono badania wśród studentów na poziomie B2 lub wyższym, zgodnie z Europejskim systemem kształcenia językowego (Rada Europy, 2002). Artykuł ten łączy dwie odrębne, ale nierozłączne dyscypliny nauki – marketing i lingwistykę – w celu przedstawienia reklamy audiowizualnej jako dyskursu językowego.

Foreigners’ interest in Poland has risen together with the accession of Poland to the European Union. “Strangers” working in hospitals, shops, or at building sites, walking their children to Polish kindergartens and schools, together with a growing number of foreign students and scientific workers at Polish universities validate the questions about the point and aims behind the integration of foreigners with the host society. In order to prepare the Polish society for new reality, constant efforts are needed as well as effective tools to raise the social awareness concerning foreigners and challenges they need to face. One of such effective tools was the social campaign titled “Bo byłem przybyszem...” (“Because I was a stranger...”) realized in the Lublin region by Stowarzyszenie Centrum Wolontariatu (Volunteer Center Association). Its universality and reliance on various media tools made it one of the most effective campaigns in Poland as far as this subject matter is concerned.

This article presents selected results from a survey conducted in 2014 and 2015 in the Province of Opole, among 263 entrepreneurs representing companies from different sectors which varied due to the number of employees and the labour market segment. Organisations with experience in employing a foreign workforce as well as those who had not previously employed foreigners were asked about their willingness to engage a foreign workforce. The analysis was made taking into account the labour market segment. Majority of respondents claimed that the country of origin of the foreign workforce is irrelevant. Such attitude was more frequent among entrepreneurs with experience in hiring foreigners than among those who have not yet taken on foreign labour. Entrepreneurs, especially those employing foreigners during the study, tended to view foreigners as more available and more willing to work overtime, hence ‘better’ then Polish employees. Interestingly, among respondents representing the secondary labour market, the opinion that foreigners are ‘better’ employees was more common than in the group representing the primary labour market.

The reflections presented in this paper are focused on the problem of the conflict that takes places at the point of contact of two cultures during social interventions in the communities of foreigners residing in Poland. That is why three research perspectives have been presented. The first one is an analysis of the legal solutions pertaining to the acquiring of the status of a legal alien. The second aspect of the research is connected with the features of the institutional forms of social support for foreigners. In the further area the indicators of cultural differences of the investigated group have been discussed and it has been attempted to define the potential areas of conflict. The scientific exploration was aimed to specify to what extent cultural differences condition the process of the foreigners’ adaptation to a new socio-cultural reality. Furthermore, an attempt was made to answer the question whether the institutions intended to help foreigners can constitute an area of compromise. For this aim the differences between the levels of expectations represented by the administrative and social services and the foreigners themselves have been shown.

The issue of immigrants’ place in Western societies is still vital, and it is considered from various theoretical and axiological positions. The article attempts to look at these issues through the eyes of a classic of European philosophy, which is Plato. In ancient Greece, foreigners were approached rather with superiority; Greeks believed that the world is divided into them and barbarians. The same is true of Plato, who proposes many rules for treating „aliens” in his theory of the ideal state. These principles are based on the assumption that citizens and noncitizens (foreigners and slaves) cannot be treated equally in every respect.

Foreign employment in the informal sector in Poland has not been thoroughly researched to date, mainly due to the obstacles that are faced by researchers who are attempting to investigate the problem. This article focuses on the employment of foreigners in the informal sector in Poland, and it analyzes legal regulations and practices which aim to prevent illegal employment of foreign nationals. The implementation of a simplified procedure for the employment of foreign nationals was one of the most critical amendments to Poland’s immigration policy in the last decade. This solution was met with considerable approval by Polish employers who submitted more than 780,000 and 1300,000 declarations of intent to employ a foreign worker in 2015 and 2016, respectively. However, the results of the inspections carried out by the National Labor Inspectorate give cause for concern. In 2014, nearly 70% of the foreigners named in the declarations of intent were granted a visa and entered Poland. It should be stressed that only 37% of them were employed by the company that issued the declaration.

Although it was not before 1989 that Warsaw gradually became a genuinely multiethnic environment, a group of aliens had inhabited the city in 1945–89. Somewhat paradoxically, the Polish capital city’s foreigner landscape proved to be the most variegated, diverse and vivid in the first post-war decade. The Russians, Germans, Englishmen, Frenchmen, or Italians already residing in Warsaw were joined, as part of post-war voluntary and forced (political-refugee) migration, by nationals of Spain, Greece, Korea, Persia, Yugoslavia, or even Canada. The article shows the ways along which they reached Poland and Warsaw, and the various aspects of everyday life of those aliens: work, assimilation, and political entanglements.

The reconstruction of the iconographic program of the decoration of the sandstone bases of a group of sphinxes of Hatshepsut lining the processional avenue leading to the Queen’s Mansion of a Million Years in the temple at Deir el-Bahari is the prime focus of this article. The fragments of these statues discovered in the 1920s by the archaeological mission of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York were never published. The pieces were rediscovered in storage in 2005. A theoretical reconstruction has been undertaken, leading the author to identify an unusual iconographical pattern that reflects changes in art introduced in the times of Hatshepsut. The representations on the bases of the royal sandstone sphinxes from the queen’s temple include, among others, rekhyt birds, pat-people and “enemies of Egypt”. They take on a form that departs from that known from other sphinx sculptures.

This paper discusses selected results of studies carried out among employers from the Opolskie Voivodeship: a region with an exceptional scale of labour emigration in Poland that is struggling with an increasingly palpable shortage of workers. The study included 263 employers and was carried out in late 2014 and in early 2015. It involved managers, i.e. owners, directors, managers or people responsible for personnel policy in enterprise. The CAWI and PAPI methods were used. The research used a structured interview schedule. The aim was to show how the enterprises evaluated Poland in respect to its attractiveness to foreign workers and specified the main issues that were decisive to the influx of foreigners taking up employment in Poland. More than 46% of representatives of the enterprises involved in the study claimed that Poland is attractive to for¬eigners interested in taking up work. Respondents were convinced that the main factor attracting foreign workers to Poland was the relative proximity of their country of origin and the related easy access.

Przedmiotem rozważań artykułu jest fragment polityki karnej państwa obejmujący działalność sądów w celu przeciwdziałania i ograniczania przestępczości w drodze stosowania przepisów prawa karnego wobec cudzoziemców przebywających w Polsce. W szczególności poruszane jest zagadnienie polityki wymierzania kar i środków karnych cudzoziemcom, którzy dopuścili się czynów zabronionych przez polskie prawo karne i trafili do systemu formalnej kontroli społecznej. Celem analizy jest ustalenie, w jaki sposób na przestrzeni lat 2004-2012 kształtowała się polityka sądowego wymiaru kary cudzoziemcom, jakie kary i środki karne były wobec nich najczęściej stosowane w odpowiedzi na popełnienie poszczególnych rodzajów przestępstw oraz sprawdzenie czy, a jeśli tak, to w jakim kierunku i zakresie, polityka ta odbiega od polityki karnej stosowanej wobec polskich obywateli.

He draws attention to the presence – the influx of foreigners, the coexistence of many nationalities (Germans, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, Roma, Jews and others), but also Slovaks, presenting toponymy, references, the importance of ethnonyms, onomastics, etc. Particular attention was given to three nationalities – the dominant among Prešov residents– Germans, Hungarians, Slovaks, what found itself in its spatial space – topography, but also indenominational relations, i.e. in the connection of the so-called preachers of nationality as partof the Roman Catholic religion, and later also (after 1531) as part of the Protestant Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession. e surveys made it possible to determine the nature of the newly adopted duties – their origin, activities and dealing in wine trade. An important conditionfor these problems are enterprises that keep tax / accounting accounts.
