The subject of this study is the activity of the Belarusians in the General Government in 1940–1945. Belarusians were the fifth largest ethnic group in the GG. The German occupation authorities, applying the principle of “divide and conquer”, were ready to give Belarusians some freedom in the sphere of culture, religion and economy. In 1940, the Belarusian Committee was established in Warsaw, with branches in Biała Podlaska and Kraków. The majority of committee members were Belarusians and Poles – prisoners of war and refugees from the Soviet occupation zone of Poland. As a priority of this organization, cultural, educational and religious activities among the Belarusians in the General Government were recognized. The activists of the committee managed to create a school in Warsaw and two parishes (Orthodox and Catholic). Belarusian activities faced some difficulties. Serious problems for the Belarusians Committee caused the activities of Ukrainian organizations in the GG. One of the episodes in the history of the Belarusian Committee is the cooperation of its activists with German military intelligence.

Tested hypothesis derived from J. L. Holland’s (1997) theory of vocational choice: relations between combination of levels personality dimensions (Consistency, and Differentiation) and three work related personal variables (Self-Control, Acquiescence and Pragmatism). Holland’s Vocational Preference Inventory – VPI (Polish version 1998 by Nosal, Piskorz i Świąt-nicki) was used to identify consistent-inconsistent and differentiated-undifferentiated vocational patterns. Measures of Self-Control and Acquiescence were also computed using the VPI. Wojciszke’s The Pragmatism Scale (derived in part from the Self-Monitoring Scale and based on M. Snyder’s – 1974, 1979 – theory of the pragmatic and principled selves) was used to identify level of Pragmatism. Ss were 100 person, 66 women and 34 men, ages 23 to 61 years (M = 34,86,SD = 10,88) with higher level of education. They represented conventional and social types of vocation. Ss’ scores on VPI inventory using cluster analysis were grouped into three combinations of personality profiles – Consistent/Differentiated, Inconsistent/Differentiated, and Inconsistent/Undifferentiated. By using clusters as independent variables was found that Inconsistent/Undifferentiated profiles had the lowest Acquiescence scores and Consistent/Differentiated had the lowest Self-Control scores. Inconsistent/Differentiated profiles were associated with the highest Pragmatism.

In this article the issues of Crimean Tatars collaboration with the Third Reich during the Second World War are discussed. At the end of the war, the Crimean Tatars were accused by the Stalinist regime of treason and on May 18, 1944 the whole nation – without any explanation – was deported to Central Asia in wagons for animals. Transport conditions were extremely hard, a lot of people died during this trip, because of the lack of food and water and of high temperatures. The deportation had very tragic consequences: within six months, in new places of settlement nearly 40% of Crimean Tatars died.

In the developed countries aging processes create the need of scientific study on the social life of the elderly. One of the major difficulties in the study of elderly is the problem to scientifically determine the position of older people in the social structure. Most popular tools for studying the social structure are usually based on the category of the occupation. This fact creates the problem of determining the social position of the inactive, including the unemployed seniors. This "structural exclusion” calls for the methodological approaches that also take into account the entity that are currently outside the sphere of labor market. The paper presents the considerations focused on the issue of "placing" of seniors in the social structure based on the determination of the level of different forms of capital.

Around 5500 BC the first wave of the LBK culture societies came to the area of black soils in Kujavia. What is interesting is that materials of this culture are also registered in conditions untypical of this culture, where geological substrate is formed by sand, and farming usability of soils was, and still is, not great. This paper aims at summarizing the present state of research and outlining present-day opportunities of interpretation. This work is also part of a broader scientific programme connected with recognition of the history of the Neolithic occupation in the valley of Tążyna river — one of the Vistula tributaries

The crisis in the countries of the European Union deprived the work of many young people. Brussels wants to spend 6 billion euro for the fight against youth unemployment. This declaration indicates that the issue of the European labor market and unemployment is still important, as confirmed by the results of studies included in the reports. Recently special attention is paid to the issue of employee competencies and preparing students for professional work, therefore in this article I will try to answer two fundamental questions: First: what are the expectation of today’s employers towards workers in the European labor market, secondly, how students (future employees) assess their preparation for future professional duties in the job search process. In addition, my goal will be to draw attention to the importance of key competences and their continuous improvement.

The main object of the article is an attempt to answer the question about the limits of freedom and independence of professional designers. It seems to be important, especially now, when we can observe how creative industries provide to innovative development of society and to competitive advantage. Is it possible to have autonomy being a designer? Referring to B. Bourdieu’s field theory and idea of socially responsible design (Papanek, 2012) it will be shown the context of this profession as a balance of power between the individual actors (designers, client, users, society) in the field of design. Object of the present text is description of the designer’s profession in relation to the subjectively perceived degree of professional independence. The example used to analyze this issue are interviews conducted among British designers from Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design.

The article presents the fate of monumental sculpture in occupied Warsaw 1939-1945. The aim of the Third Reich’s cultural policy adopted in Poland was to get rid of all traces of the Poles' cultural identity. This was manifest, i.a., in the destruction of Polish monuments. Therefore, it want to dispose of Polish monuments from the capital as objects that played a special role in maintaining the spirit of Polishness. Through subsequent orders, the occupying authorities sought to remove them from the city. The Polish City Council, headed by the commissary mayor Julian Kulski, took all measures to save these monuments. Most of the capital's monuments survived until the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising, thanks to actions taken to save them. After 1944, only a few of them remained on the plinths.

This article examines the relationship between education and occupation over the course of educational expansion. The authors analyse European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) data from 2014, 2015, and 2016 from 30 European countries and work with 12 graduated cohorts defined by the year in which they left the education system (2003–2014). They use a multilevel model approach and measure education in both absolute and relative terms. The results show that during the time of educational expansion there was no change in the relationship between education and occupation if education is conceptualised in absolute terms. However, a change in this relationship is visible when education is conceptualised as a positional good. Many previous studies that have posed a similar research question did not consider study field. The results here show that the role of study field changed during this time of educational expansion, with natural science, computer, and IT study fields growing stronger than other fields of study. The authors interpret the strengthening of education as a positional good in reference to the theory of skill-biased technological change.

The personality constitutes very important factor of occupational development, adaptation and functioning. Personality disorders and their impact on the workplace are considered relatively seldom in literature. The authors analyze – theoretically and empirically – how earlier experi-ences form personality disorders and indirectly exert influence on occupational choices, and how occupational conditions and workplace could form personality disorders. In the aftermath of the research the conclusions confirm that certain forms of personality disorders depends on the experiences of childhood and adolescence, others – on the occupational career.

Osobowość stanowi znaczący czynnik zawodowego rozwoju, przystosowania i funkcjonowania. W literaturze przedmiotu stosunkowo rzadko rozpatruje się wpływ zaburzeń osobowości na środowisko pracy. Autorzy analizują, na podstawie teorii i badań własnych, w jaki sposób wcześniejsze doświadczenia życiowe kształtują zaburzenia osobowości i i tym samym wpływać mogą na decyzje zawodowe oraz jak warunki pracy i wykonywania zawodu wpływają na po-wstawanie zaburzeń osobowości. W następstwie badań i analizy wyników stwierdzono, że nie-które typy zaburzeń osobowości zależą od doświadczeń z dzieciństwa i dorastania wiążąc się z określonymi grupami zawodowymi, inne zaś – od przebiegu pracy i kariery zawodowej.

Work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) is the term used to describe the worsening of asthma related to work but not the causation of asthma by work. It is common and has been reported to occur for 21.5% of working asthmatics on average. The frequency and severity may range from a single mild exacerbation that may lead to no time lost at work up to daily or severe exacerbations that may require a permanent change in work. Reports from general population surveys and primary care settings include more patients with short-term or mild exacerbations while those from tertiary care settings reflect the more severe end of the spectrum of severity or frequency, with socioeconomic outcomes that are similar to those of occupational asthma. In the minority of patients with the WEA, whose asthma starts while working, the differential diagnosis includes sensitizer-induced or possible irritant-induced occupational asthma. Optimizing work exposures and asthma management may improve outcome and prevent exacerbations. Worker education and screening of working asthmatics by primary health care workers may also prevent morbidity.

The tiny Hans Island, claimed by both Canada and Denmark, is the latest disputed land in Arctic. The aim of this article is to analyse whether this sovereignty question can be resolved by referring to the doctrine of occupation. The methods used are historical analysis and the dogmatics of international law. The historical examples and doctrinal views lead to the first level conclusion that in certain circumstances a land that belongs to no one can be occupied by a state merely by means of symbolic actions. Further considerations focus on the questions of whether Hans Island should be considered as possessing such certain qualities and if so, whether any of the contestants has ever performed any actions that can be interpreted as taking it into its possession. The conclusion points out that although it is very unlikely that analyzed solutions would be used to determine the fate of the Island, it is still crucial to realise that doctrines of international law, which may seems archaic, are to some extent still applicable and could be used in the Arctic disputes.

The shortage of welding specialists is a long-term problem in the labour market of Lithuania. Ststistical data show the lack of thousands specialists in this field with increasing gap between their supply and demand. It creates concern, because the shortage of skilled welders forces enterprises to refuse many profitable orders. In this article is presented the analysis of the reasons regarding the shortage of welding specialists in the labour market of Lithuania; also here are disclosed the gaps in the identification of the demand of welders and justifying the importance of this identification of demand for effective functioning of labour market. Referring to the results of research there can be stated, that the goal to satisfy the real needs of economy in welding specialists can be achieved by identifying the demand in terms of concrete qualifications of these specialists and in terms of numbers of required specialists. Absence of exact data in these fields creates the situation of uncertainty which does not permit smooth functioning of vocational guidance and vocational education and training of these specialists. As a consequence, it is not possible to ensure adequate reaction of the VET system to the demands of labour market. There are suggested instruments helping to identify the levels of qualifications and competences of welding specialists, to classify them into specialities and specialisations and to define the limits of their qualifications. There is also provided the model for identification of the demand of welding specialists in the national labour market. These measures create favourable preconditions for adequate reaction to the existing shortages of welding specialists and for the satisfaction of corresponding needs in the sectors of economy.

Analysis of training needs tends to consist of determination of discrepancies between what people know and can perform, and what they should know and be able to do. Consequently this process regards evaluation of differences between the current state of affairs and the desirable result, in other words – what people must learn in order to do their work well. This implies a need for learning to improve. In order to carry out successful detection and analysis of needs, research was conducted on achievements among disabled persons. Their hobbies and practical experience were studied as a basis for future professional activities. The research involved 139 people with disabilities.

In this study, panel regression models for 21 European countries and data covering the period between 2008 and 2014 were used to demonstrate that the distribution of working population across different occupational groups explains cross-country differences in terms of the average effective retirement age. Thus, while the great majority of previous studies verified the causal trade-off investigated on the basis of single-country micro data with reference to one economy, this study takes perspective of cross-country diversity in terms of the investigated relationship. The confirmed link holds even when controlling inter alia for health status, education, unemployment, old-dependency ratio, interest rate, GDP per capita, or the share of salaries and wages in GDP. An important practical implication for the policy-makers is that decisions limited only to the increase in the universal pensionable age cannot be effective, since the occupational composition of an economy is very relevant.

Objectives: Both hyperthyroidism and overt hypothyroidism are associated with increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components, while data on subclinical hypothyroidism is currently limited especially in working populations. The aim of this study was to examine the association between subclinical hypothyroidism and metabolic syndrome components in workers; and to evaluate whether there are differences by sex and occupation. Material and Methods: A total of 1150 university employees (male - 792, female - 358) aged 30-60 years who came for an annual medical check-up were studied. Anthropometric measurements were taken, and blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), lipid profiles, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxin (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels were measured. Results: After adjustment for age and body mass index (BMI), TSH was positively associated with increased triglyceride (TG) levels (β = 0.108, p = 0.020) and FPG (β = 0.130, p = 0.006) in subclinical hypothyroid male workers. However, TSH was not associated (p > 0.05) with any component of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the euthyroid group. In females, TSH was not correlated with MS components in both euthyroid and subclinical hypothyroid groups. Furthermore, comparison by occupation showed higher TSH in subclinical hypothyroid male workers employed in administration (5.23±0.52 mU/l) than those working as academics (5.12±0.52 mU/l), which resulted in elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, FPG, total cholesterol, TG and high density lipoprotein cholesterol. In females, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, TG and FPG were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in subclinical hypothyroid administrators than those in academics. Conclusions: Subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with metabolic syndrome components in male workers and not in females. Administration workers showed increased metabolic risks compared to academics. The findings suggest that the assessment of thyroid function in individuals with metabolic syndrome in the workplace may be favorable especially among men.

The aim of this paper is to identify how the mobility between different types of broadly defined occupation (hired work, self-employment in industry, services and agriculture or social security beneficiaries) changes personal income of individuals. We apply the Markov matrices to the panel data on 30,540 individuals for 2007-2008 from the Polish Household Budget Surveys. Our hypothesis is that a change of occupation affects individual capability to earn income, controlling for the occupation a person quits and the occupation a person starts, as well as age, education level and a permanent or temporary character of work. We test our hypothesis using the regression analysis. Our results show that the inter-occupational mobility matters mostly for those quitting hired work for self-employment, for the better educated, as well as for respondents above 60 years of age.
