In the given study authors attempt to present the hierarchy of values according to children younger school age developed on the basis of the results of research carried out among pupils from 1st to 3rd classes. Citing the literature quoted examples of definitions of values and their classifications developed by researchers in various fields. In the main part of the article we present the results of research showing the hierarchy of values proposed by students. The authors also made a comparison of the results obtained by gender and taking into account environmental differences (students from the countryside and from the city). A summary of the conclusions of the study are important for the practice of teaching and educational process.

The greatest hindrance in determining the hierarchy at the court of the last Jagiellons, Sigismund I the Old and his son Sigismund II Augustus, is the lack of any official documents and reliable accounts concerning this problem. Research on this subject can be conducted only on the basis of registers usually associated with sources on taxation, singularly preserved to our own times. Due to the lack of immediate sources, one is left with using multiple and scattered accounts and documents. On their basis, supplemented with a comparison with later periods, it is possible to make an attempt to recreate the hierarchical order at the royal court.

The hierarchy in disposable groups, due to the specific nature thereof, is of significant importance for their proper functioning. Such a fixed sequence and order in this environment is essential as according to it someone performs managerial (command) functions, support ones or those positioned lower in terms of importance. Individuals holding certain positions must have relevant competences, skills and knowledge. Professional roles performed in disposable systems differ substantially from those played in a civilian environment. The differences result from the specificity of the tasks executed, responsibility for the specialised equipment and often for the lives of people.

To achieve its aim, any human activity needs to be performed consciously and purposefully. In this way, such an activity strengthens perseverance and contributes to the development of a strategy of action. The selection of the objective is associated with the valuation and hierarchy of goals and in such circumstances the teacher who targets the completion o a variety of tasks needs to determine what is important for them, prioritise, and establish which activities are indispensable in order to proceed to further steps (Strelau, 2000). Physical education forms a process through which students are prepared for an independent, satisfying and life-long participation in movement culture(Crum, 2007). However, the realization of these goals is relative to activities on the part of teachers and adequate education throughout the course of the study program. The objective of this paper is to establish the opinions of academic teachers regarding the hierarchy of the goals of physical education. The survey involved 52 teachers working at three Polish universities: Opole University of Technology, University of Physical Education in Katowice and State Higher Vocational School in Racibórz. The method involved a diagnostic technique, i.e. a survey in the form of a questionnaire. The specific tool applied a survey developed by the European Physical Education Association. On the basis of the replies to the questionnaire we can conclude that all interviewees agree on the principal objective i.e. encouraging students to follow an active and healthy lifestyle. This objective was followed in priority by ensuring students’ safety during physical education classes and developing the range of movement skills.

Piotr Skarga is one of the most prominent Polish writers of the 16th century. Today he is mostly regarded as a polemicist, heavily engaged in political matters. However, during his lifetime, he was considered as a religious writer. Lives of the Saints held a significant importance among his work, as well as his sermons (especially appreciated by Catholics, since people of other faiths thought of Skarga as a sworn enemy). In these writings there are a lot of references to the angels (around 500 mentions), although it does not make him an angelologist. His remarks on the angels are in accordance with the Catholic doctrine and decrees of the Council of Trent. Skarga’s favorite motives were: hierarchical structure of existence (man should aim high, to the angels), angelic hierarchy (following Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite), the court of God (with a special role of the courtier angels), the angelic army (with God as its leader, interfering in history, also the history of Poland), singing of the angels (one of the most common themes, coming from the Biblical Apocrypha), the Guardian Angel (belonging to everyman, not only ardent Catholics) and the angelic cult (one of the determinant aspects of Christianity). Although Skarga was very vigilant not to write anything that would not be in accordance with the Catholic teachings, he was using religious motives to reflect upon the politics, for example he regarded divine monarchy as a model for earthly monarchy.

This paper deals with the formation of the hierarchic settlement systems. The proposed model shows the links between rank-size distribution empirical law and the Xtent model of C. Renfrew and E. Level. The rise of the settlement hierarchies characterized by the primate rank-size distribution could be explained with the increased importance of a single variable, reflecting the political influence of the new centers. Population values increase at least ten times compared to the number of settlements’ inhabitants before the formation of the spatial hierarchy. This model could be applied to corrections of population estimates in archaeology.

Painterly Quest for Values

100%
EN
The painter is trying to realize a certain value in the canvas, the value which he feels, he is looking for and he can see in his imagination. Nevertheless, that value is not given to him, it is undefined and unclear. For this reason, painting a picture is both creating and looking for a fully perceptible value. The emerging image shows the painter the form of that value, it is controlled by the artist, but the artist is also controlled by the image which, in a way, leads him. The demanded and achieved value is not a label which appraises the image, stuck on it by the painter, but it is like a light that per- meates and illuminates the painting.

This article addresses the problem of why subordinates trust their managers based on the responses from 108 subordinates of seven Slovenian managers and from 138 subordinates of eight Swedish managers. The subordinates of these managers responded to a 20-item instrument tested for reliability and validity. In both samples the managers enjoyed different degrees of trust. The level of trust vested in Slovenian managers was higher than in Swedish ones. The kinds of managers’ actions that enhanced trust were similar amongst Swedish and Slovenian subordinates. Different socio-cultural contexts may theoretically explain why some other kinds of actions had contrasting effects between the samples. On the whole, the actions of managers explain trust in both countries. Subordinates’ trust in managers declines with the increasing hierarchical distance in both national samples. Managers need to show in action that they trust their subordinates, promote their interests, demonstrate appreciation of their subordinates, and solve problems.

While criticism of management and other authorities might sometimes count as virtuous, it is often taken as a disturbance of business operations. Some people even think that criticism reflects badly on managers, as it supposedly shows that they do not have sufficient control over their employees. As I see it, then, feedback or criticism is framed in a highly ambivalent way: Although criticism is often invited as an opportunity for improvement, it is mostly received as a cause of reputational damage. A straightforward illustration of this fact is the treatment of so-called whistle blowers who might be viewed either as martyrs exposing problems to be addressed or as traitors revealing failings or misconduct. Yet, given the moral and institutional stakes in improving a problematic situation, it is still surprising that a portrayal of criticism as a disturbance is so often successful. So how is it possible to obscure the obvious downsides of shunning criticism? Zooming in on the ambivalent values associated with criticism, I shall argue that administrative hierarchies and distributions of tasks often provide incentives to suppress criticism and, by extension, collective action rooted in criticism of authorities in academia.

Despite of increasing volumes of individual passenger transport and growing dependence of the post-socialist societies on the passenger car, public transport is still inevitable for certain communities. Its social and environmental aspects are obvious reasons why public transport remains within the scope of state and regional policies as a mixture of public and commercial services. Long-distance and international overground public transport represents a higher standard of travelling of considerably commercial nature. An important feature of this segment of the public transport is its capability to compete with individual transportation for long-distance journeys. The commercial character of the long-distance public transport should motivate operators to run territorially effective links covering adequately populated communites and regions with high demand for this segment of public-transport services. This study deals with several territorial aspects of the network of long-distance and international bus and train links of public transport in the Slovak Republic. The network of communities having direct access to the high-standard modes of public transport has been identified, revealing some of their spatial patterns and focusing on categorization of urban settlements by selected parameters of high-standard public transport services. The relationship with the population size of the urban settlements is assessed in the study, too.

Wartość godziwa, jako jedna z metod wyceny została zaprezentowana w wielu Międzynarodowych Standardach Rachunkowości. Dla potrzeb ujednolicenia tego zagadnienia wprowadzono MSSF 13 „Wycena w wartości godziwej”, który reguluje sposób doboru danych do procesu wyceny oraz zakres ujawnień dotyczący tej wyceny w sprawozdaniu finansowym. Analizując polskie realia na podstawie wybranych spółek giełdowych stwierdzono, iż jednostki te często poprzestają na prezentacji informacji, iż stosują takową wycenę do wybranych kategorii aktywów, natomiast nie informują odbiorcy sprawozdania o zastosowanych technikach pomiaru, czy też sposobie uzyskania danych wyjściowych.

Fair value as a valuation method is presented in many Financial Accounting Standards. IFRS 13 „Fair Value Measurement” was issued for the purpose of unifying this mater. It regulates the way of selecting data for valuation process and disclosures about fair value measurement in financial statements. Analysis of selected listed companies in Poland found that these often limit their presentation of information about their use of the fair value method to selected categories of assets, while not justifying the valuation techniques or inputs used.

Order and hierarchy are the basic elements of Medieval thought. The guarantor of social order is an individual at the right place and fulfilling their duties diligently. Ordo is rooted in hierarchy and it means that individuals are put in a particular order of a social ladder expressed in grades (gradus). Everyone should stay at the right place – paraphrasing Saint Augustin – it is a Medieval conditio sine qua non of safety and social order. According to the author, the problem of ordo is formed on two tracks: a status gradation conditioned by the division of labour and as ordo universalis, which means order directly leading to an individual hierarchy created by God.

Porządek i hierarchia są podstawowymi elementami myśli średniowiecznej. Pozostawanie jednostki na właściwym dla niej miejscu i sumienne wywiązywanie się z przyjętych na siebie obowiązków jest zatem gwarantem porządku społecznego. Ordo zakorzenione jest w hierarchii, zasadza się bowiem na uporządkowaniu bytów w kolejności określonej stopniami (gradus) drabiny społecznej. Pozostawanie każdego na wyznaczonym mu miejscu – parafrazując słowa św. Augustyna – stanowi mediewistyczne conditio sine qua non ładu, bezpieczeństwa i spokoju społecznego. Zdaniem autorki problematyka ordo kształtuje się dwutorowo: jako gradacja stanowa uwarunkowana głównie podziałem pracy oraz jako ordo universalis, czyli porządkiem jako takim, uporządkowaniem prowadzącym wprost do hierarchii bytów stworzonych przez Boga.

According to Piotr Siuda (2007), virtual communities do not generate new social divisions. However, the situation is different in the case of a micronation – a state simulation on the Internet micronation – state simulation on the Internet. That is why the aim of this article is to present the way of constructing social hierarchy on the example of Principality of Sarmatia. It is assumed that both language and image are status indicators of citizens in the aforementioned community. Therefore, the verification of assumptions is based on an analysis of 40 profiles of Sarmacja’s citizens. The analysis results show that the use of language and image as status indicators of citizens is linked at the structural and semantic level to certain, specific to Sarmacja rules.

The article is of theoretical nature. Its aim is to present the psychoanalytic understanding of the capital which is constituted by organisation members. It is them who decides about the effects of the operations of an organisation, both its successes and failures. This article attempts at describing the psychological mechanisms which determine the complex phenomenon called ‘human capital’ of an organisation. The concept of ‘human capital’ has been confronted with one of the key attributes of an organisation, that is the hierarchy of the organisation’s structure. The article presents a psychoanalytic interpretation of organisational hierarchy in the aspect of human capital, taking into account the positive and negative consequences for all organisation members.

Artykuł ma charakter teoretyczny. Jego celem jest przedstawienie psychoanalitycznego rozumienia kapitału, jakim są członkowie organizacji. To oni decydują o efektach działania organizacji, zarówno o jej sukcesach, jak i porażkach. W niniejszym artykule podjęta została próba opisania mechanizmów psychologicznych, które determinują złożone zjawisko określane mianem „kapitału ludzkiego” organizacji. Pojęcie „kapitał ludzki” zostało skonfrontowane z jedną z kluczowych właściwości organizacji, jaką jest hierarchia struktury organizacyjnej. Artykuł przedstawia psychoanalityczną interpretację organizacyjnej hierarchii w aspekcie kapitału ludzkiego, uwzględniając jej pozytywne oraz negatywne konsekwencje dla wszystkich członków organizacji

Background: Recent studies in the domain of supply chain management underline the significance of the contractual and relational aspects of governance, at the same time ignoring the relevance of classical hierarchy. To respond to this challenge, our study posits that the market and hierarchy are both embedded in the wider social context, and as such they can only apply to some degree of relational aspects, referred in this research to as clan. Concomitantly, clan rarely acts as a sole mode of supply chain governance; quite the contrary, it can be either a hybrid (anchored between market and hierarchy) or an alternative (neither market nor hierarchy) mode of governance. By returning to the classical roots of governance of market and hierarchy as two bipolar modes, the goal of the paper is to compare diverse modes of supply chain governance (with the emphasis on the hybrid and alternative modes) in terms of the strength of clan. Methods: The study involves two stages of multivariate statistical analysis. In the first step, the variables indicating certain modes of market and hierarchy of upstream and downstream dyads were narrowed down to the main underlying multi-item constructs through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax Rotation. In the second step of the analysis, the factor scores obtained through the PCA for market and hierarchical governance were used in cluster analysis. Results: The study reveals that the hybrid modes of governance (especially relational governance) anchored between bipolar modes of market and hierarchy demonstrate a higher portion of clan in comparison to hierarchy as the sole mode of governance in triadic supply chains. At the same time, triadic supply chains run by both market and hybrid governance do not differ from each other, as they indicate similar and significantly higher mean ranks for clan. The study reveals that the alternative (neither market nor hierarchical) modes of governance do not indicate higher portion of clan as compared to market and hierarchy as two sole modes of governance in triadic supply chains. Conclusions: The study shows that as the mode of governance clan takes a leading role in the hybrid modes of governance as compared to the alternative mechanisms. This may suggest that either the hybrid modes are much stronger enhanced by social dimensions encapsulated in clan than the alternative modes or the essence of clan in the hybrid modes is not the same as the essence of clan in the alternative modes of governance. Consequently, we conclude that the silver bullet for solving this problem may reside within the nature of clan, which is significantly different in both modes of governance.

Wstęp: Ostatnie publikacje dotyczące zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw podkreślają znaczenie kontraktowej i relacyjnej koordynacji działań, jednocześnie ignorując istotność koordynacji hierarchicznej. W celu sprostania temu wyzwaniu artykuł zakłada, że zarówno koordynacja rynkowa, jak i hierarchiczna są osadzone w kontekście społecznym, i jako takie, w pewnym stopniu stosują aspekty relacyjne, określane w tym artykule mianem klanu. Jednocześnie, klan rzadko występuje jako samodzielny mechanizm koordynacji działań, przeciwnie może przyjmować postać formę hybrydy (osadzonej między rynkiem i hierarchią) lub może być mechanizmem alternatywnym (nie rynkowym i zarazem nie hierarchicznym). Poprzez nawiązanie do klasycznej koordynacji rynkowej i hierarchicznej, celem artykułu jest porównanie różnych mechanizmów koordynacji działań w łańcuchu dostaw (w tym przede wszystkim mechanizmu hybrydowego i alternatywnego) ze względu na siłę aspektów relacyjnych, zakotwiczonych w klanie. Metody: W artykule przeprowadzono dwa etapy wielowymiarowej analizy statystycznej. W pierwszym etapie zmienne odzwierciedlające mechanizm rynkowy i hierarchiczny oddzielnie dla obu diad, zostały zredukowane za pomocą analizy czynnikowej z rotacją varimax w celu identyfikacji podstawowych konstruktów. W drugim etapie badania, otrzymane oceny czynnikowe zostały wykorzystane w grupowaniu obiektów. Wyniki: Przeprowadzone badanie pokazuje, że hybrydowa koordynacja działań (w szczególności mechanizm relacyjny), osadzona między dwoma biegunowymi mechanizmami rynku i hierarchii wykazuje wyższy stopień wykorzystania aspektów relacyjnych, typowych dla klanu, aniżeli hierarchia, stosowana jako jedyny mechanizm w triadycznych łańcuchach dostaw. Jednocześnie, triadyczne łańcuchy dostaw koordynowane za pomocą mechanizmu rynkowego i hybrydowego nie różnią się istotnie, pokazując podobne wartości średnie rang dla klanu. Badanie pokazuje również, że alternatywne (nie rynkowe i zarazem nie hierarchiczne) mechanizmy koordynacji działań nie wskazują wyższych wartości średnich rang dla klanu w porównaniu do mechanizmu rynkowego i hybrydowego. Wnioski: Badanie pokazuje, że klan pełni przewodnią rolę w koordynacji hybrydowej w po-równaniu do alternatywnych mechanizmów koordynacji. Może to sugerować, że albo koordynacja hybrydowa jest wzbogacona aspektami relacyjnymi, typowymi dla klanu, w porównaniu do alternatywnych mechanizmów koordynacji, albo istota klanu w koordynacji hybrydowej nie jest tożsama z istotą klanu w alternatywnych mechanizmach koordynacyjnych. W świetle powyższego, rozwiązanie tego problemu może wynikać z natury klanu, który istotnie różni się w obu mechanizmach koordynacji działań w łańcuchach dostaw.

Zgodnie z teorią rywalizacji hierarchii, konstytucja zawiera szczyty hierarchii, będących systemami norm. Ze względu na ich umiejscowienie w konstytucji, takie hierarchie można nazwać hierarchiami konstytucyjnymi. Hierarchie te rywalizują ze sobą w ramach dynamicznego – chociaż długotrwałego – procesu przekształcania konstytucji. Autonomia w ramach hierarchii konstytucyjnej to istnienie określonego zakresu samodzielności, w szczególności w zakresie tworzenia prawa wewnętrznego lub miejscowego. Takie prawo musi być zgodne z ogólną treścią konstytucji. Autonomia w ramach hierarchii konstytucyjnej jest połączeniem sprzecznych tendencji dotyczących podporządkowania i niezależności. Pierwsze praktyczne próby stosowania teorii rywalizacji hierarchii do badań nad autonomią w ramach hierarchii konstytucyjnych różnych państw zachęcają do podejmowania kolejnych działań w tym zakresie.

According to the Hierarchies Rivalry Theory, a constitution contains the tops of hierarchies, understood as systems of norms. Due to their position in the constitution, such hierarchies may be called constitutional hierarchies. These hierarchies compete with one another in a dynamic – albeit long-term – process of transforming the constitution. Autonomy within the constitutional hierarchy means the existence of a specific scope of independence, in particular in the area of creating internal or local law. Such law must be consistent with the general contents of the constitution. Autonomy within the constitutional hierarchy is a combination of conflicting tendencies of subordination and independence. The first practical attempts to apply the Hierarchies Rivalry Theory to research on autonomy within the constitutional hierarchies of various countries encourage further actions in this area.

Japanese history and the hegemony of chronological time

Through an overview of modern Japanese historiography this essay examines the dilemma faced by non-Western (East) and non-modern places when trying to write their own history. The formulation of modern history onto Newtonian time and space-chronological time (progress) and nation-states has been remarkably stable when viewed from the West, but troubling for non-Western places. Since 1868 (Meiji revolution) when a new government endeavored to turn the archipelago into a modern nation-state, Japanese intellectuals and historians accepted the necessity of writing a history of Japan and simultaneously struggled to overcome the stigma of being East or Oriental. They developed several now familiar strategies: more historical research, alternative modernity, and search for authenticity. None accomplished the goal of equivalence. This essay argues that the problems they encountered are in the structure of history itself, in particular, the way that chronological time locks the non-West into a recursive pattern, forever of the East.

In the article the conslusions coming from the research into organisational culture, conducted in the Institute of Political Science at the University of Wrocław were presented. The employed research instrument was the OCAI questionnaire, created by Kim S. Cameron and Robert S. Quinn, which allows to diagnose the incidence of particular elements of organisational culture as well as to identify the types of this culture. The research results point that — currently — the Institute’s dominant form of organisational culture is the hierarchy culture, while the desired one is the clan and adhocracy culture.

The article brings about an analysis of major conceptualizations of processes leading to the emergence and development of social complexity and inequality, which have been formulated within major paradigms of contemporary archaeology. The most significant contribution to these issues was offered by archaeologies inspired by functionalism and neoevolutionism. These attempts corresponded with an attempt to turn archaeology into a nomothetic discipline. Of different character were works inspired by Marxism, Neomarxism, and poststructuralism. They offered a valuable contribution to the conceptualization of the means of achieving social goals and performing social roles by different actors.
