The last decades of the twentieth century fundamentally changed the situation in the global economy. China’s spectacular economic success has increased an interest in this country. The short time in which China moved on from the a poor agricultural country into a global economic power is admirable. China’s model combines conflicted elements of different economic systems: the bureaucratic planning, island-capitalism, simple goods production and natural economy. The current development and transformation of the economy have brought about spectacular achievements and successes. However, the “the world’s manufacturer” produces goods designed in other countries. In contrast, the modern idea is to build a modern and independent Chinese industry. The possibilities of the current model of economic development based on simple reserves and large statedriven infrastructure projects, which no longer drive the economy to the extent they previously did, dried out. Thus, the “Middle Kingdom” will have to compete against the rest of the world on quality and innovation. Therefore the development of the new model is a prerequisite to ensure progress in the future. Discussion on further development has been expedited in 2011, when it became abundantly clear that the Chinese economy would share the experience of the effects of the global crisis. The Chinese look at the challenges that the economy is facing realistically in thinking about the modern technology which begins to dominate the country. China is determined to become the leading technological superpower of the world. Today, many developing countries are looking towards China watching the development model implemented there with the hope of its adaptation in their economies. However, China is a unique entity. Therefore, it may be that adaptation of the Chinese model of development in other countries is not possible.

In this paper, the regime of memory produced in The Museum of Innocence, a museum created and curated by the author Orhan Pamuk is discussed. The museum was opened in 2012 in Istanbul and it was based on Pamuk’s novel of the same title published in 2008. The intertextual novel -museum and the museum-novel blur the distinctions between fiction and reality, as well as the distinctions between individual and social memories and focus on everyday life and personal objects rather than the “monumental” national history. The regime of memory produced in this museum is discussed in this paper in relation with the process of modernization in Turkey. The understanding of time, space, reality and individual prevailing in the museum are evaluated in order to understand whether the museum produces a creative remembering that problematized the process of remembering or a regime of remembering that is based on absolutizing the past.

Modernization or revitalization of a railway line involves the necessity of reconstruction or renovation of practically all the engineering objects and constructions on its premises. While, in the case of objects, not protected by the Historic Preservation Maintenance of City-Owned Buildings, the situation is relatively easy, in the case of historical buildings, the scope of possible construction works can be significantly reduced. On the example of the modernization of the Wroclaw Główny railway station track system, the use of modern slab track is presented, whose aim is to obtain the required performance parameters of the engineering structures (old boreholes) located in its area. The non-skid surfaces used are ERS - rails in the cover and block rails of the EBS type. The use of pavement-free pavements allowed the historic bays to be preserved. Their main girders are made of riveted baffles, without interfering with their historical material. The presented solutions can also be used for the modernization of different types of engineering objects and construction, not necessarily recorded in the register or records of historical monuments - for example, in riveted constructions of those of or unique shape, located on lower category railway lines. It gives opportunity to preserve and continue to use old objects, exposing their beauty and technology, currently not used (for example riveting).

Over the last few decades, the Iranian Kurdish society, including family and kin¬ship systems, has experienced enormous changes as a result of government im-plemented modernization efforts. This paper reports the results of a quantitative/ qualitative mixed methods study aimed at exploring (a) the nature of change in family and kinship systems and (b) how people understand and interpret these changes. The sample for this study was drawn from the Mangor and Gawerk tri¬bes residing in the Mahabad Township located in the West Azerbaijan Province of Iran. Using standardized questionnaires, 586 people were sampled as part of the quantitative portion of the study. For the qualitative portion, data was collected on 20 people using both in-depth interviews and participant observations. The quantitative data was analyzed by SPSS software and the qualitative data was in¬terpreted using grounded theory procedures. The quantitative findings showed that the urbanization, modern education, and mass media have all contributed to the emergence of a new form of family and kinship life. In addition, while sup¬porting quantitative findings, the qualitative results revealed that participants were aware of and sensitive to sources, processes, and effects of modernization on their family and kinship life.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the historical town of Most, Northern Bohemia, was wiped off the face of the Earth in order to extract brown coal which was located under its streets and houses. Further away, a rationally planned town of the very same name was built. This article is searching for roots and circumstances of the decisions that determined the post-war history of Most. Its central goal is an analysis of an intellectual and social context in which it was possible to justify such a gigantic experiment, putting the context of modernist technocratic thought and architectural utopias into the centre of the interpretation. From this point of view, specific circumstances of the communist dictatorship played a significant role in the development analysed here, a broader context of modernist utopian and technocratic thought was, however, of even greater importance. The case of Most demonstrates that technocratic thought, based on the conviction that one can break the world down into small pieces and then reassemble it as a jigsaw puzzle somewhere else at another time, proved to be extraordinarily flexible and viable, as it managed to integrate a variety of often opposing ideas and solutions.

The article substantiates the need to modernize media education in higher educational institutions of the post-information society, the factors that determine the methodology of lectures and seminars are identified, the ways of optimization of media education with the example of teaching the professional discipline “History of Ukrainian and foreign journalism” are offered, the formats of lectures and seminars classes in media education with the use of information and communications technologies are proposed, the characteristic features and advantages of each format are determined. The typology of invariants of lectures is developed and the expanded classification of formats of seminars with implementation of innovative technologies through a prism of elements of gamification is modelled, in particular classes in the format of interactive quizzes and brain-rings, interactive crossword puzzles (classical, Japanese, fillwords, sudoku, scanwords), interactive group debates and discussions, interactive polls and interactive fine arts (mindmapping). The results of a survey of students of the specialty “Journalism” of the capital and regional Ukrainian universities regarding the most popular ICT, the most effective, motivational, and creative formats for lectures and seminars classes in the educational process are presented. The effectiveness of seminars with the implementation of gamification is substantiated, since information in the form of an intellectual game activates creative and analytical thinking, allows the integration of all students to creative cognitive activities, contributes to the intensification of the educational process, and makes it more interesting, flexible, and multifaceted.

The aim of the article is the analysis of public discourse concerning the reforms of science and higher education in Poland, the effects of which largely affect young researchers and determine their careers and future social status. The author treats these transformations as Habermas’ ’crisis’ resulting from the dominance of technocratic consciousness. This situation generates both specific scenarios written by politicians/ economists/experts/officials for young researchers, as well as certain adaptation strategies of the researchers themselves. The empirical part of the article is the analysis of the public discourse in ’Gazeta Wyborcza’ and ’Tygodnik Powszechny’ concerning the reforms of Polish science involving symbolic elites and young researchers.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza dyskursu publicznego dotyczącego reform nauki i szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce, których skutki w dużej mierze dotykają młodych pracowników nauki, stając się wyznacznikiem ich karier i przyszłego statusu społecznego. Przemiany te traktuję jako Habermasowski „kryzys” wynikający z dominacji świadomości technokratycznej. Sytuacja ta generuje zarówno specyficzne scenariusze pisane przez polityków/ekonomistów/ekspertów/urzędników dla młodych naukowców, jak również określone strategie adaptacyjne samych zainteresowanych. Część empiryczną stanowi analiza dyskursu publicznego dotyczącego reform polskiej nauki z udziałem elit symbolicznych oraz młodych pracowników nauki tocząca się na łamach „Gazety Wyborczej” i Tygodnika Powszechnego”.

Trudno wyobrazić sobie funkcjonowanie współczesnego społeczeństwa bez zaawansowanych technologii. Masowy dostęp do telewizji czy Internetu otwiera przed nami wiele możliwości. Żyjemy w społeczeństwie informacyjnym, które cechuje łatwy dostęp do wiedzy i wiele udogodnień towarzyszących codziennym czynnościom. Ważne jest, aby umiejętnie wykorzystywać możliwości, jakie dają nam nowoczesne technologie. Ma to istotne znaczenie w odniesieniu do edukacji, polskiego dziedzictwa narodowego i szeroko pojętej kultury. Coraz częściej możemy zwiedzać jakieś miejsce czy uczestniczyć w życiu kulturalnym bez wychodzenia z domu. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi analizę wpływu nowoczesnych technologii na formy ochrony i upowszechniania dziedzictwa narodowego. Przedstawiono w nim teorię modernizacji, która opisuje etapy rozwoju społeczeństwa, by pokazać, że pomimo masowego rozwoju technologii nie każdy ma taką samą możliwość skorzystania z nich. Internet bez wątpienia jest bardzo pożytecznym narzędziem, jednak należy pamiętać o zachowaniu ostrożności w korzystaniu z jego zasobów.

It is hard to imagine how a modern society can function without in technology. Greater access to television and the internet open up many opportunities for us. We live in a society of information, which is characterised by the availability of knowledge and devices designed to make our daily lives easier. It is important to use wisely the opportunities that technology offers us. This is important in relation to education, Polish national heritage and broader culture. Often we can visit a specific place or participate in cultural life without even leaving our own home. This article is an analysis of the impact of modern technology how it helps us to protect and promote our national heritage. A description of the problem should begin with a presentation of the theory of modernization, which describes the stages of development of society, in order to show that despite the massive developments of technology, not everyone has the same opportunity to take advantage of its benefits. The internet undoubtedly brings a lot of good, but we have to be prudent in using the resources it offers.

Korea jest przykładem państwa, którego rozwój przebiegał wieloetapowo od modelu agrarnego, przez okres rozbudowy przemysłu ciężkiego, do inwestycji w nowe technologie. Stosunki gospodarcze w tym kraju zmieniły się z peryferyjnych na relacje typowe dla rozwiniętych rynków. Mimo że jest wiele publikacji na temat reform Republiki Korei, to eksperci nadal poszukują wyjaśnienia fenomenu jej polityki. Celem artykułu jest analiza modernizacji RK w kontekście dwóch teorii; zależności oraz modernizacji. Autor weryfikuje modele teoretyczne i ich użyteczność do interpretacji zmian zachodzących podczas industrializacji. Artykuł jest częścią dyskusji na temat korzyści i zagrożeń wynikających z umiędzynarodowienia.

After the demise of socialism, the considerable transformation of the Polish housing sector occurred in the early 1990s. The new laws and institutions were introduced and those new arrangements strongly influenced the development of housing. Currently, the State does not participate directly in the housing development process – it is one of local government responsibilities. Hence, the main purpose of the article is to analyze the priorities and actions of local authorities in the field of housing policy, particularly those aspects that have a specific spatial implications (mainly affect spatial development of the inner city). Analysis is focused on Lodz that really stands out among all municipalities in Poland for the largest participation of public housing, that in the inner city is mostly represented by the old tenement buildings, unfortunately in a very poor condition.

PURPOSE/THESIS: The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship among modernization, innovativeness, and information processes in high-technology environments, and provide recommendations on boosting innovativeness, taking the informational dimension of innovation into account. Currently, knowledge and innovations have become the driving force of the world development. It is claimed that innovativeness, as opposed to inventiveness, can be subject to planning and management and as such is usually developed mostly in high-tech organizations and enterprises. APROACH/METHODS: The method enabling high-tech organizations to create favorable conditions in order to boost innovativeness and develop innovations includes, inter alia: (i) encouraging such organizations and companies to build points of bifurcations within their own structures and business processes where free creative thoughts and experiments could happen; (ii) integrating main information systems that support innovativeness (e.g. systems dealing with company products and know-how, human resources, knowledge management, customer relationships management, and crowdsourcing). The corporate portal seems to be the most appropriate place for such integration, (iii) tapping into the model of open innovation and (iv) offering mobile access to corporate resources. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of the research is the outline of a methodology for boosting innovativeness in high-tech environments that may help company managers and decision makers to organize innovation projects. ORIGNALITY/VALUE: The value of the research consists in the recognition of the fact that innovation within the high-tech environment needs to be organized, managed and provided with a reliable information support. The latter can be achieved with the integration of various information processes related to the implementation of innovation projects within a corporate portal.

CEL/TEZA: Celem pracy jest prześledzenie związków występujących pomiędzy ogólnymi procesami modernizacyjnymi, innowacyjnością i procesami informacyjnymi w organizacjach wysokich technologii oraz sformułowanie rekomendacji dotyczących wspierania innowacyjności, biorąc pod uwagę jej informacyjny wymiar. Obecnie istotną siłą sprawczą rozwoju świata jest wiedza i innowacje. Artykuł wyraźnie odróżnia innowacyjność od wynalazczości – ta pierwsza bowiem może być przedmiotem planowania i zarządzania i, jako taka, ma miejsce przede wszystkim w organizacjach i przedsiębiorstwach wysokich technologii. KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Metoda pozwalająca organizacjom wysokich technologii tworzyć warunki korzystne dla innowacyjności i opracowywać innowacyjne rozwiązania polega m.in. na: (i) zachęcaniu takich organizacji do tworzenia w ramach swych struktur organizacyjnych i procesów biznesowych punktów bifurkacji, w których może ujawniać się kreatywność i są warunki do eksperymentowania z pomysłami, (ii) integrowaniu głównych korporacyjnych systemów informacyjnych, np. systemów dotyczących produktów, know-how, zasobów ludzkich, zarządzania wiedzą, zarządzania relacjami z klientami, czy mechanizmów crowdsourcingu; szczególnie dogodnym miejscem dla takiej integracji jest portal korporacyjny (iii) wykorzystaniu potencjału modelu otwartych innowacji, (iv) zapewnieniu mobilnego dostępu do korporacyjnych zasobów informacyjnych. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Przedstawiono zarys metody wspierania procesów innowacyjnych w organizacjach i przedsiębiorstwach wysokich technologii. Metoda ta może pomóc decydentom i menedżerom w projektowaniu i realizacji projektów innowacyjnych. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Opracowana metoda jednoznacznie pokazuje, że innowacyjność w organizacjach wysokich technologii wymaga systematycznego podejścia opartego na planowaniu i regułach zarzadzania oraz na stworzeniu solidnego wsparcia informacyjnego. Wsparcie to można zapewnić przez całościową integrację zasobów i procesów informacyjnych w ramach portalu korporacyjnego.
