Consumers are constantly seeking out new and memorable experiences. This study empirically examines how external factors, such as the characteristics of innovation (relative advantage, trialability, observability, low complexity, compatibility) and exterior store design, and internal factors (positive mood, hedonic motivations, consumer innovativeness) aff ect young consumers’ impulse intention toward visiting pop-up stores in the South African context. Survey data was collected from a convenient sample of 461 students from two universities in South Africa via a self-administered questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis revealed that (a) external factors related to the characteristics of innovation (i.e., compatibility and low complexity), (b) exterior store design, and (c) the internal factor, consumer innovativeness, had a signifi cant influence on consumers’ impulse intentions to visit pop-up shops. The study examined pop-up retail through the lens of impulse behaviour in an emerging market. The study contributes to the understanding of factors influencing the success of pop-up stores in emerging markets. In particular, the understanding of the factors that lead to impulse intentions towards pop-up retail, which has been overlooked in research.

This paper attempts to coin a stipulative definition of “emotions” to determine their functions. In this sense, “emotion” is a complex phenomenon consisting of an accurate (reliable) determination of the state of affairs in relation to the state of the subject and specific “points of adaptation”. Apart from the cognitive aspect, this phenomenon also includes behavior, physiological changes and expressions (facial expression, voice, posture), feelings, and “execution” of emotions in the nervous system. Emotions fulfill informative, calibrating, identifying, existential, and motivating functions. Emotions capture the world as either positive or negative, important or unimportant, and are used to determine and assign weightings (to set up a kind of hierarchy). They emerge automatically (involuntarily), are difficult (or hardly possible) to control and are (to some extent) influenced by culture.

Artykuł jest pierwszym opracowaniem dotyczącym muzyki w klasztorze dominikanek Na Gródku w Krakowie. Autor koncentruje się na historii organów w kościele klasztornym. W 1820 r. w świątyni notowano dwa pozytywy (małe organy): większy pod chórem zakonnym i mniejszy na chórze. W 1838 r. instrument z chóru zakonnego został sprzedany, natomiast w latach 1838-1839 powstały w kościele nowe organy, umieszczone zapewne pod chórem. Po 1864 r. ich stan ulegał pogorszeniu, w związku z czym podjęto decyzję o zakupie nowych organów. W 1870 r. klasztor otrzymał na ten cel pieniądze od cesarza Ferdynanda, jednak przedsięwzięcie nie doczekało się realizacji. Ostatecznie rolę instrumentu akompaniującego podczas liturgii przejęła fisharmonia, a zdezelowane organy zostały usunięte. W drugiej połowie XIX w. zainstalowano organy elektroniczne. Od 2010 r. dominikanki zbierały pieniądze na zakup organów piszczałkowych. Ostatecznie zakupiony został używany instrument firmy Walcker z 1970 r., sprowadzony z Niemiec, a następnie zamontowany w kościele w 2011 r. Na przestrzeni kilku stuleci w kościele grali organiści. Były nimi zarówno osoby świeckie, jak i siostry zakonne

The present article is the first one concerning music in the Dominican Convent at Gródek in Cracow. The author concentrates on the history of organs in the convent church. In 1820 the church had two positives (small organs): a larger one under the convent choir and a smaller one on the choir. In 1838 the instrument from the choir was sold, while in the years 1838-1839 new organ was installed in the church, supposedly under the choir. After 1864 the organ’s condition worsened gradually, that is why a decision was made to buy a new one. In 1870 the Convent received money from Emperor Ferdinand for this purpose, however the plan was not realised. Eventually the role of an accompanying instrument during the service was taken over by the harmonium and the dilapidated organ was removed. In the second half of the 19th century electronic organ was installed. Since 2010 the Dominican Sisters had collected money to buy a pipe organ. Finally a second-hand Walker organ was bought, brought from Germany and installed in 2011. In the course of several ages both lay persons and Dominican Sisters performed as church organists.

Coraz większa grupa inwestorów chce zainwestować swój kapitał nie tylko z zyskiem, ale również odpowiedzialnie, zwracając szczególną uwagę na formułę społecznie odpowiedzialnego inwestowania (SRI). Oznacza to, że inwestorzy coraz chętniej świadomie angażują swoje fundusze w firmy działające zgodnie z zasadami społecznej odpowiedzialności. Istotnym czynnikiem wpływającym na rozwój SRI są giełdowe indeksy spółek społecznie odpowiedzialnych. Można je bowiem uznać za specyficzne narzędzia adaptacji tej koncepcji w praktyce. Celem artykułu jest analiza porównawcza kryteriów środowiskowych, społecznych i zarządczych (ESG), które stanowią podstawę definicji wybranych europejskich indeksów SRI. Analizą objęto następujące indeksy: DJSI Europe Index, FTSE4Good Europe 40, FTSE4Good Europe 50, EURO STOXX Sustainability 40 i Solactive Sustainability Index Europe. Artykuł ma również na celu ustalenie wskaźnika (indeksu) odzwierciedlającego stopień, w jakim firmy z poszczególnych krajów europejskich są reprezentowane w głównych europejskich indeksach SRI. Oczywiście analizowane indeksy różnią się nieznacznie co do interpretacji kryteriów ESG, jednak wydaje się, że mimo słabości takiego podejścia, połączone w jednym indeksie mogą odzwierciedlać ogólny obraz praktyk CSR w poszczególnych krajach. W związku z tym, że badaniom podlegały tylko europejskie indeksy SRI, z analiz wyłączono globalne i krajowe inicjatywy, a także te specyficzne dla sektorów czy branż.

An increasing number of investors want to invest their capital not only with profit but also responsibly, and they pay significant attention to the formula of socially responsible investing (SRI), which means that they consciously engage their funds in companies operating in accordance with CSR principles. An important influence on the development of CSR is the role of stock exchange indices on socially responsible companies. These indices can be considered specific tools for adapting this concept in practice, in particular in the field of socially responsible investment. This article provides a comparative analysis of the social, environmental and governance criteria underlying the definition of the composition of selected European SRI indices. The research will cover the following indices: the DJSI Europe Index, the FTSE4Good Europe 40, the FTSE4Good Europe 50, the EURO STOXX Sustainability 40 and the Solactive Sustainability Index Europe. This paper also intends to set an index reflecting the degree to which companies of certain European countries are represented in major European SRI indices. Consequently, global and national initiatives and ratings were excluded, as well as sector‑and industry‑specific initiatives and ratings. The proposed index is standardized by introducing the GDP of each country into the calculation formula as a way to a achieve comparable result. We believe that the proposed metric will reflect the state of the art in SRI and provide an overall picture of SRI practices across nations.
