The paper discusses the role of pre-testing in consecutive waves of a panel survey, investigating how attitudes and opinions change over long periods of time. On one hand, accounting for this change requires that the phrasing of questions should remain unaltered. On the other, pre-testing may reveal that respondents experience difficulty in understanding some items, for instance due to the possible shifts in meaning that occurred over time. The paper discusses the issue of implementing the results of a pretest, presenting experiences gained during pre-testing of the Polish Panel Survey POLPAN 1988–2018, conducted in March 2018. Questionnaire items selected for analysis deal with the determinants of life success, the intensity of social-group conflicts, and the self-evaluation of social position. The main conclusion is that the questionnaire items should undergo minor modifications, but only if necessary, while the feedback from pre-testing should be used in fieldwork instructions for interviewers and should also be taken into account in the interpretation of the results of the main survey.

This text should be perceived as an review article in which the content of the monograph Social Inequalities in Access to Education… by Richard Borowicz allows for the presentation of his heritage which is leftfor the next generation of sociologists and educators. The text therefore exposes the approach to the profession of sociologist which was characteristic of Ryszard Borowicz, his scientific workshop and inspirations that we may draw from in relation to how to analyze the surrounding reality, how to communicate what we have determined, how to make methodological choices and, within them, choose the methods. At the same time, the text presents the continuity of the research into sociology of education in Poland, preserved also thanks to the research by the Author of the book discussed here. What is worth emphasizing is the diagnosis and assessment of the Polish transformation at the beginning of the twenty-first century in the context of young people’s educational fates (and their determinants), which is dominant in the monograph. The essence of Ryszard Borowicz’s research interests is the study on school selections. Therefore, the text contains an attempt at analyzing the findings in the book Social Inequality… relating to the mechanisms of selection in the educational system, including the analysis of the relevance of specific content, links with the findings by other researchers, and most of all, with the Author himself – his beliefs, motivations, and attitudes, which distinguished him in the scientific community.

Czynniki ESG coraz częściej stają się nieodłącznym elementem w raportach firm. Pomimo wielu trudności związanych z raportowaniem działalności pozafinansowej z roku na rok przybywa spółek, które podejmują się tego niełatwego zadania. Tego typu informacje są szczególnie ważne dla współczesnych inwestorów, którzy nie patrzą jedynie na zysk z danej inwestycji, ale zwracają coraz większą uwagę na wizerunek firmy, metody działania, podejście do pracowników oraz otoczenia zarówno bliższego, jak i dalszego. W niniejszej pracy postawiona została hipoteza głosząca, że czynniki ESG mają coraz większy wpływ na kursy akcji. Badaniu poddano spółki energetyczne z Europy, które w latach 2010–2021 zamykały swój rok obrotowy wraz z końcem roku kalendarzowego. Wyniki badania nie odwzorowały jednak miarodajnie wpływu ESG na osiągane stopy zwrotu, ponieważ dopiero w czasie kilku ostatnich lat zaczęły one nabierać istotnego znaczenia. Wcześniej ich oddziaływanie było zbyt słabe, aby dało się to wykazać podczas badań na większych próbach.

ESG factors are increasingly becoming an inseparable part in company reports. Despite many difficulties connected with reporting of non-financial activities, there are more and more companies which undertake this difficult task each year. This kind of information is especially important for contemporary investors, who do not only look at the profit on a given investment, but pay more and more attention to the company’s image, methods of operation, approach to employees and the closer and farther environment. The hypothesis was as follows: the ESG factors have an increasing influence on stock prices. A panel study was used for the analysis. The study covered European energy companies which closed their financial year at the end of the calendar years 2010–2021. However, the results of the study did not reliably reflect the impact of ESG on the achieved rates of return because only in the last few years have they begun to gain significance. Previously, their impact was too weak to be shown in studies on larger samples.
