The main subject of the article is a deliberation on a method (or methods) used in comparing legal systems. However, discussing the method requires first to make a reference to the jurisprudence views on the understanding of the term comparative law. The scholars’ views are divided into two groups. While by some scholars the term comparative law is considered to be a scientific method, other scholars accept it as a separate branch of law. In this article a thorough analysis of the arguments of both groups of scholars is presented. Regarding the terminological imprecision concerning ‘comparative law’, a new term: a ‘science of comparison of legal systems’ is proposed. This notion describes more precisely and more thoroughly the specific nature of a comparison of legal systems. Further in the article, the main features of a comparative method as a research tool are discussed. The important ones include a selection of objects to be compared and an indication of the adequate legal reference systems. Those features have to be taken into account by the scholars using a comparative method in research.

Przedmiotem artykułu są rozważania nad metodą (bądź metodami) nauki o porównywaniu systemów prawnych. Aby jednak pisać o metodzie, trzeba było odnieść się do stanowiska doktryny na temat status prawa komparatystycznego. Zaprezentowano więc poglądy doktryny, która jest w tej sprawie podzielona; wstępują w niej zarówno zwolennicy uznania „prawa porównawczego” za naukę, jak i przedstawiciele nauki traktujący je jako narzędzie badawcze. Przyczyną tego sporu jest nieprecyzyjność terminologiczna, o której jest mowa w punkcie drugim artykułu. Kolejno w opracowaniu dokonano pogłębionej analizy argumentów prezentowanych przez obie strony tego sporu oraz przedstawiono własną propozycję nowego terminu w postaci „nauki o porównywaniu systemów prawnych”. Dalsza część artykułu zawiera badania nad samą metodą komparatystyczną. W opracowaniu starano się zwrócić uwagę na jej cechy szczególne, wśród których podstawowe znaczenie ma dobór porównywanego obiektu i związane z tym właściwe wskazanie systemów referencyjnych. Cechy te powinien uwzględnić każdy z badaczy rozpoczynający pracę nad opracowaniem z zastosowaniem metody prawnoporównawczej.

The author of the article presents the image of the Macedonian transformation dynamics according to the analysis of selected reports published annually by influential international research institutes, organizations and opinion‑forming media, which evaluate the political, economic and social situation in various countries of the world in the 2000s. The paper introduces the preliminary results of a research project involving critical analysis of reports on the situation in Macedonia and particular public policies of the Republic, which are included in publicly available and are cited – by politicians, the media, public opinion – international reports, which use the indicators commonly applied in the world. The main areas of analysis are: the degree of the competitiveness, economic freedom and rule of law on the market and the state; the level of the democracy, political rights and civil liberties; the degree of the equality and welfare of the society and – finally – the status in the security area, i.e. the main indicators of the peace and stabilization of the Republic of Macedonia.

The paper provides comparative evidence on attitudes towards immigrants, their labour market outcomes and policies in Croatia and two neighbouring countries – Slovenia and Hungary. Three different data sources have been used: the European Social Survey, an ad-hoc Labour Force Survey module for the year 2014, and the MIPEX index. Although immigrants have a disadvantaged position on the Croatian labour market, most analysed indicators do not imply that they are in a worse position than in other European economies. Migrant integration policies related to the labour market are assessed as being relatively favourable for Croatia. Judging by the comparable indicators for the native population in Croatia, immigrants’ adverse labour market outcomes seem to be more related to the unfavourable general economic situation, and particularly by the deep and long recession.

The pension systems in the majority of European states have been reformed because of serious changes in the demographic structure of the populations. Therefore funded pillars have been added to the pension systems. This addi-tional (to pay as you go system) pillar, created by pension funds, is manda-tory in some countries. The investments made by the pension funds influ-ence the development of financial markets and affect the situation in na-tional economies. The aim of the paper is comparative analysis of the pen-sion fund markets in selected European states in the years 2000-2013, using the synthetic measure of development.

The paper reflects on the results of a comparative analysis conducted in two collaborating youth detention centres: Jugendhilfezentrum Leinerstift in Grossefehn, Germany and the Racibórz Youth Detention Centre in Poland. To obtain research data, the authors visited the two detention centres. The collected data include:  the beginning and the development of the 15-year cooperation between the two centres;  the similarities and differences in the applied pedagogical methods;  favourable changes in rehabilitative treatment during cooperation between the analysed centres;  periodic exchanges of the Polish and German youth under rehabilitation;  the participation of Polish and German teachers and scholars in conferences and trainings. The multiaspectual comparative analysis of the functioning of the Polish and German rehabilitation centres broadens our practical and theoretical knowledge of comparative pedagogy. The mutual contacts of the teachers and the youth facilitate the process of eliminating prejudices and promoting genuine friendship and tolerance.

The present inquiry is designed to reveal how meaningful components, variously interrelated, eventually result in semantic differences discovered in adjectival synonymous clusters in French and in Polish. The method of conducting this comparative analysis is to match lexical paraphrases of synonymous items in both languages. The data are underpinned by well documented and authentic examples. The concept of cross-language equivalence of selected lexical units is highlighted, thus enabling further developments to be carried out in the fields of foreign language teaching and translation practice. The study of empirical material is complemented with a concise sketch dealing with theoretical aspects of synonymy.

A lot of Polish university libraries prepare e-learning courses - especially in the field of library orientation. They use different approaches in the e-learning courses development but not every solution is good. The article presents results of researches of open e-learning courses implemented in five university libraries: Biblioteka Uniwersytecka w Toruniu, Biblioteka Jagiellońska w Krakowie, Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, Biblioteka Uniwersytecka we Wrocławiu, Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Śląskiego w Katowicach. The evaluation was done from users point of view and takes into account the educational aspect, content, technology and availability. Through these researches one can identify at least some problems, and at the same time determine those items that are prepared properly. The results show that some efforts should be made especially with availability for people with disabilities. Another weak point of these courses is insufficient degree of interactivity and only few tools for self-assessment. Some educational aspects need to be improved. The strengths of the courses are: very well prepared content, consistency and presentation.

Folklore phraseology was a inexhaustible source of linguistic measures for Ivan Kotliarevsky, as it allowed him to build humorous and satirical effects through introducing into his literary works colloquial, dialectal and jocular set phrases. The aim of this paper is to undertake comparative analysis of set phrases in the original and in the Polish translation of Eneyida in order to point out similarities and differences in these two languages. The author focuses on the translation strategies implemented to translate set phrases, and analysing particular non-phraseme word connections which very often replace set phrases in the target text.

Recent narratives on terrorism have focused on the definitions. Terrorism is not a new phenomenon, but the problem resides in its definition and who is defining it. Conceptualizing terrorism depends on which framework one utilizes. The use of different lenses to define the term has contributed to the lack of global acceptance of what constitutes terrorism, hence the difficulty of gathering data for analysis. It is also a conundrum when powerful nations legitimize their terrorist activities against weaker ones. This, unfortunately, has led to the subjectiveness of every attempt in the literature to objectively provide a globally acceptable definition. Using meta-analysis as the methodological approach for the study a number of definitions were scrutinised. This article provides a brief examination of the intersection between right-wing terrorism and ethnic nationalism, and how accelerationism escalates ideology into violence. The paper compares two acts of violence, one traditionally viewed as terrorism and the other labelled solely as a mass shooting. It concludes with a comparative analysis of the definitions provided, utilizing a case study to examine how labels of a terrorist or a freedom fighter impact on one’s view of a group’s motivation. This is pertinent when analysing ideologically motivated violence.

Some scholars think that the term postcommunism is now useless because the outcomes of transition in the former state-socialist European countries have been consolidated. However, ongoing transformation in China, particularly the recent return of the influence of the state in both economic and social welfare domains, makes this country a specific model of “transition” that negates the end-ofpostcommunism thesis. I argue that even after more than two decades of moving away from the classical socialist system, postcommunism is not a redundant concept. Instead, for comparative research on EastAsia and Central and Eastern Europe, recognizing the past of actually existing socialism as well as its legacies would considerably contribute to our understanding of countries’ diverse trajectories and performances

The mobility of students is becoming an essential element of the education on the level of higher education, facilitating acquiring work. Universal opinion of the academic world is connected with it by the fact of the consistent growth of interest of students in this form of education. It is a universal view also in Russia. The purpose of the research, led in Poland and Russia, using the questionnaire, is an attempt to verify the rightness of such a view and to get to know determinants of educational mobility, revealing common features and differences in motivations and attitudes of students. The usefulness of knowledge acquired this way can be a base of creating the recommendation for universities being involved in international educational programmes. The material for the analysis comes from examinations which began at the end of April 2015. A nonparametric method of classification trees was used in it.

The aim of the paper is to analyze variation in quality of life across Lower Silesia, taking into account the disparities within individual districts. At the beginning a theoretical analysis of the measurement quality of life based on available literature was made. In the next step based on the data covering the years 2010-2015, a statistical comparative analysis of the living situation in Lower Silesian districts was conducted which aim was to identify the key factors which would describe the similarities and differences in terms of quality of life among the Lower Silesian population. In the research were used data from the Local Databank, Central Statistical Office and from a survey. The analyzes used objective and subjective measures of quality of life. Research methods were also subjective and objective. Expert methods and selected methods of multidimensional comparative analysis–weighted standardized sums method were used.

The aim of the study was to compare, a posteriori, the probabilities (chances) of failure to achieve the level of aspiration (expressed in expected rates of return) on open-end debt investment funds (debt OEF), as well as the rates of return on bank deposits in Poland in light of different investment horizons. The data covered the periods of operation of each individual fund. The values for the probability of not achieving the level of aspiration (PNAL) have been calculated on the basis of empirical probability distributions of the rates of return on funds and bank deposits, obtained through the use of a rolling window of observation. Studies have shown the existence of a lower limit for the level of aspiration, the achievement of which is required in order for investment in a fund to be chosen over investment in a bank deposit. Based on research on the investment horizons which had, in the past, guaranteed the achievement of a given rate of return on a fund, both good and bad funds were identified. The results were largely influenced by the very high interest rate on bank deposits in Poland in the period 1995 – 2001 (in the case of the oldest funds) and by the boom on the Treasury bond market in 2011 – 2012 (for the youngest funds).

A lot of companies have a problem with the selection of the type of computer network, because each of them has different characteristics and specifications. A businessman often does not know what he can expect from them and which type of network will allow him to fully exploit the potential of its business. The main objective of the work is to build a decision support system in this area. Intermediate target is to specify the characteristics or criteria which will be guided by a businessman in this selection. A comparative analysis of the type of access to the network using a case study was made in the work. The paper also developed the concept of a decision support system on the issue in question. As a result, six benchmarking criteria were specified and analyzed: security, data integrity, price, mobility, performance and configuration. As a result of the analysis, the final ranking was presented. Having used AHP method it showed which type of access to the network according to the given criteria provided by a businessman was the most suitable for him.

The author undertakes a comparative analysis of the multi-dimensional musical activity of Grade 1–3 students, in a temporal perspective which consists of a two-fold study at an interval of 10 years. The interpretation of the captured change, in terms of the profi le of the behaviors preferred by of young Poles, leads to the conclusion that typical activity for that age group is disappearing, what may undoubtedly serve as an inspiration for new, interdisciplinary research initiatives. The functioning of children in a virtual environment, which modifi es patterns of behavior has a special meaning for the generated change.

The article presents phraseological compounds in contemporary Polish and French. The material in- cludes colloquial phraseologisms and phraseologisms established in the language. The analysis extends the research – conducted by both Polish and Romance experts – on the cultural image of love by adding colloquial phraseological material and a comparative element, which made it possible to show common tendencies in the multiplication of the phraseological resources of both languages. The originality of the text results primarily from the description of phraseologisms not yet described in both languages – colloquial, borrowed from English, vulgar, offensive. The research goal of the article is to reconstruct the cultural image of love in both languages and to indicate common developmental tendencies, similarities and differences within both resources. The goal has been achieved, the research can be continued and extended by the analysis of phraseological compounds subjected to phraseological innovations. In order to reconstruct the cultural image of love I made a semantic and lexical analysis of lexemes that appear in many phraseological compounds related to love (e.g. heart) and the phraseologisms themselves. The results of the research indicate a common tendency in the way the phraseological resource is multiplied in both languages – borrowings from English, which can partly match the orthography of the target language’s rules. Common to both languages is the use of heart and eye symbolism in many phraseological compounds. French has more phraseological compounds containing animal names than Polish. Several phraseologisms can be distinguished, which have their exact equivalents in both languages.

Modern linguistic research focuses on phenomena that simultaneously affect different branches of science. Abstract nouns, which lie at the intersection of language, speech and thought and a person’s unique ability to generalize, are examples of exactly such phenomena. The grammatical form of the plural, which is a structural basis of language, is increasingly prevalent in the general grammatical theory of language development. The meaning of abstract vocabulary and its plural forms poses researchers with questions that are not always unambiguous: what are the relations of words in a sentence, how do they agree, and what is the participation of the plural in the formation of new lexical meanings and new plural words. The article is devoted to these issues, as well as to the comparative analysis of abstract plural nouns in modern French and Ukrainian. We review the peculiarities of the functioning of abstract plural nouns in typologically dissimilar languages (analytically-inflected French and synthetically-inflecte Ukrainian). We also analyse the semantic transformations of abstract substantives, and we illustrate on a specifi language material their potential ability to convey expressiveness in artistic speech. Examples from literature have made it possible to consider the semantic alterations of abstract plural nouns and, in particular, the number of abstract nouns which appear as the dominant of their semantic modifications. The analysis of works of fiction by French authors, most notably, Françoise Sagan, and their Ukrainian translations, helped to identify the uniqueness of the functioning of singular and plural forms of abstract nouns.

Intellectual capital is, in general, considered to be a component of a company’s market value, which is not always reflected in its financial statements. The authors analyzed 21 of the most common methods of measuring company’s intellectual capital. Detailed analysis of these methods made it possible to identify a set of 7 basic criteria that clearly distinguish them. The paper presents a comparative matrix of methods of measuring intellectual capital in terms of all the considered criteria. It is shown that, among the best known methods of measuring intellectual capital, there is no so-called “standard measure”, i.e. one which fulfils all the criteria at the same time.
