It is in the recent years that the automotive branch has been remarkably affected by the global economic crisis. The companies located in Poland make up a significant element of the global system. The paper analyses the most important data that describe the activities of these companies in the years of the crisis (the research covered the period from 2005 through 2012). It is possible to formulate the thesis that this is the group of entities that coped relatively well with the difficult situation encountered in the environment. Thanks to the conducted analysis it was possible to point to the regularities that increased the possibility success in this kind of circumstances.

This paper continues a research project aimed at proving that the fortis-lenis distinction is more appropriate for studying the Welsh language than the voiced-voiceless divide. Previous analyses of articulatory timing revealed potentially distinctive features characteristic for Welsh plosives and fricatives. Even though the phonological features such as [spread glottis] or [voice] may be used both for distinguishing between the series of plosives and fricatives, the phonetic features responsible for the distinction are likely to differ due to the different phonetic nature of the manner of articulation and the position of fricatives and plosives (Honeybone 2005: 333–334). The aim of this paper is, therefore, to draw general conclusions from analysing the two sets of factors and find some universal features or characteristics of fortis and lenis obstruents in Welsh. Based on the previous studies, the importance of aspiration and voicing length are analysed in Welsh plosives. For fricatives, friction and voicing length are studied as potentially contrastive. The main hypotheses are that (i) phonetic voicing is not decisive in distinguishing between the two series of sounds in all places of articulation and (ii) other aspects of articulatory timing such as friction, aspiration length and hold phase duration appear to be more important in the fortis-lenis distinction and form a general pattern where the fortis sounds are generally longer than their lenis counterparts.

The Welsh language exhibits a number of features uncommon from a cross-linguistic point of view, one of which is a relatively large number of fricative phonemes. This paper analyses selected acoustic features of the Welsh lateral fricative /ɬ/ in order to contribute to the debate on the laryngeal system in Welsh and the classification of /ɬ/ within that system. Total articulation length, voicing length and SMA parameters of the friction period are measured and analysed on the basis of recordings of 6 native speakers of Welsh. The results confirm the classification of /ɬ/ as a fortis sound proposed in earlier studies (Asmus and Grawunder 2017, Baran forthcoming) and suggest that the Welsh /ɬ/ may exhibit aspiration.

Strategic information is a concept that has been known in management for a long time, but new ideas are constantly being born in the context of its systemic processing. In the following study, the thesis was adopted that the context of current conditions in the environment determines challenges in the field of systemic processing of strategic information. So what is the subject of scientific inquiry today and can any primary areas be identified? The aim of the article is to establish a general framework of the current scientific discourse on strategic information and its systemic processing based on a review of the latest scientific publications and the identification of key threads. In the research part, the method of systematic review of the literature on the subject using the resources of the EBSCO database was used. In the next step, the method of determining nomothetic binary oppositions was used. Such oppositions appear in a set of concepts that synthetically capture the content of individual texts. The procedure used showed that the current leading issues are related to: identifying strategic information resources in previously ignored areas of reality; revealing strategic potential through new information resources; modifying the scope and parameters of information considered strategic; changing the rules of the market game based on the innovative use of information revealing strategic importance.

Cechy akustyczne środka ciężkości plozji: studium walijskich spółgłosek zwarto-wybuchowych Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przeanalizowanie środka ciężkości plozji walijskich spółgłosek zwarto- wybuchowych co pozwoliłoby ocenić znaczenie tego czynnika w rozróżnianiu między /p, t, k/ (w artykule określane jako mocno artykułowane – fortis) a /b, d, g/ (w artykule określane jako słabo artykułowane – lenis). Środek ciężkości plozji wydaje się szczególnie interesujący ponieważ: (i) nie był jeszcze dogłębnie analizowany w badaniach fonetycznych walijskich spółgłosek zwarto-wybuchowych (por. Ball 1984; Ball i Williams 2011; Jones 1984; Morris i Hejná 2019) oraz (ii) używanie środka ciężkości plozji jako czynnika różnicującego między spółgłoskami zwarto-wybuchowymi jest dosyć rzadkie, jako że tego czynnika używa się zwykle do różnicowania między spółgłoskami szczelinowymi o różnych miejscach artykulacji. Aby osiągnąć wspomniane wcześniej cele, autorzy artykułu, zainspirowani badaniem spółgłosek zwarto-wybuchowych amerykańskiej odmiany języka angielskiego przeprowadzonym przez duet Chodroff i Wilson (2014), zmierzyli środek ciężkości plozji w nagłosie dla /p, b, t, d, k, g/.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the centre of gravity (COG) of release bursts in Welsh plosives in order to assess their importance in distinguishing between /p, t, k/ (here termed fortis) and /b, d, g/ (here termed lenis). The COG of a release burst appears to be particularly interesting as (i) it has not yet been studied extensively in the phonetic scientific literature on Welsh plosives (see for instance Ball, Ball and Williams, Jones, Morris and Hejná), and (ii) using the COG variable to distinguish between stops is not very common, as it is normally used to differentiate between places of articulation in fricatives. To achieve the aforementioned goals, the authors, inspired by a study of American English plosives conducted by Chodroff and Wilson, measured the COG of bursts in word-initial /p, b, t, d, k, g/.

This paper questions the voiceless-voiced distinction of Welsh consonants and claims that the fortis-lenis distinction is more appropriate for the description of the language. In light of research results of theoretical as well as experimental investigations into Welsh, e.g. the vowel-coda length dependence discovered by Asmus and Grawunder (2017), advocated further research into that matter, seeing also that the fortis-lenis distinction establishes a firm link to focal properties of Welsh, such as morpheme-initial consonant mutations (mICM). It was, therefore, decided to look at potential phonetic features that would contribute to the postulated distinction. These features are aspiration, voicing, hold phase duration and the centre of gravity (abbreviated to CoG) in the articulation of Welsh plosives. Preliminary results of the study discussed in this paper were summarised in “Fortis-lenis or Voiced-voiceless – features of Welsh consonants” (Asmus et al. 2019). However, expanding our research has yielded more comprehensive findings. As a result, it appears that the two series of plosives under review are different in terms of all features studied, but it is aspiration that is of major importance (thus confirming classifications of Welsh as an aspiration language).

W erze społeczeństwa informacyjnego wiedza na temat profilu postaw przedsiębiorczych odgrywa znaczącą rolę w ocenie prawdopodobieństwa sukcesu przedsięwzięcia oraz przy projektowaniu programów nauczania. Wyniki tego wstępnego badania pokazują, że ci, którzy uczestniczyli w szkoleniach z zakresu przedsiębiorczości, prawdopodobnie mają wyższą skłonność do zachowań przedsiębiorczych, pełniejsze postrzeganie wykonalności tego, co planują i większą świadomość ryzyka przy podejmowaniu działalności gospodarczej.

In the Information Society era the knowledge about entrepreneurial profile plays a leading role in assessing the probability of success of a venture and in designing curricula. The results of this initial research study show that those who participated in entrepreneurial training probably have a higher intention of entrepreneurship, greater perception of the feasibility of what they are planning and increased perception of risk when undertaking business
