The study was conducted in northern France at the sport management department at the University of Lille. It attempts to highlight the type of summer vacation of its students. Previous studies have shown the modalities of mobility (Urry, 2000; Seewer, 2004). Although models exist to explain destination choice, many of these have limitations, including the assumption of a rational consumer and a focus on the functional attributes of travel and tourism (Lewis, Kerr, & Pomering, 2010). However, few studies handle the behavior of consumption of students during their holidays, especially the sports students. In making their travel decisions, consumers assess the attractiveness of a destination (Sirakaya et al., 2001). Positive associations with a destination increase the likelihood of selection (Woodside & Lyson-ski, 1989). The main hypothesis concerned the type of sports that students were engaged while on vacation. That is, we postulated that students also practiced sport during their vacation time. The second hypothesis concerned the mobility that these students should be accustomed to in order to travel in competitions abroad or at least away from home. The study was conducted in a quantitative manner, with questionnaires (N=451). The main results are based on 451 Physical Education (PE) students from the area of Lille, France, who participated in this study. In this population, 55.2% were single, 44.8% were married or in a relationship (10.2% had children). Initial results show that the average household income per month is about EUR 2,500; over 74% of them go on holiday for two weeks, on average. These students are coming from wealthy families. When they say that they are “going on vacation”, a majority of them (68.7%) indicate that the main reason is to relax. Contrary to the announced hypothesis, few PE students (4.9%) wish to practice physical activities during the holiday. Independently, we noticed that a majority of student (79.5%) preferred a single destination when the purpose was to make cultural trips (51.5%). However, the question of the budget remains an issue and they favor (78%) being hosted in the cheapest accommodations. For instance, the accommodations concerned are mostly camping or holiday villages. These findings can be interesting to satisfy this kind of demand and help providers build better strategies.

State celebrations, anniversaries of important historical events and their observance are one of the main channels of communication between ruling elite and society that shape the state symbolic space. In addition to establish ing memorial sites, erecting monuments, founding institutions focused on remembrance, they are the most important way to create a narrative of the state’s past. In Poland - regardless of time and political system - special attention was paid to creating a calendar of holidays and anniversaries, and the manner they were celebrated. These festivities were and are still considered to be fundamental tools used in Polish politics of history, both at statewide and local level. Their importance in the regions can - depending on how the local elites exercise their powers - vary from much larger in relation to the central state level to entirely negligible. The aim of this study is to present mechanisms and tools used by local authorities in building an appropriate historical narrative using just those tools.

Perceiving work competition as a strategic practice of a selected social system the author of the article examines the relationship between work competition and (public) holidays in the period of the first five-year economic plat of the Socialist Federal Rebublic of Yugoslavia (1947-1952). This relationship was mutual and similarly as in other socialist countries centrally planned as well as directed: holidays helped spreading the idea of competitive way of working as well as they helped structuring (working) time. On the other hand work competition helped rooting the new system of public holidays as well as it also structured and shaped holidays.

Differently from most of Estonia, in the south-easternmost peripheries of the country – in the western border areas of Setomaa, as well as in the eastern and southern borderlands of Võrumaa – it is possible to distinguish sacred sites of regional meaning, i.e. those where popular religious assemblies related to offering took place on holidays. In the Orthodox Seto culture area where medieval way of life survived until the 1920s, such sites are represented by the sacral complex of Miikse (offering stone, healing stream, cemetery hill, formerly also sacred oak and spring), St Anne’s stone (Annekivi) in Pelsi and Päevapööramise mägi (‘The Hill Where the Sun Turns’) in Hinniala village. Two major Orthodox religious centres of Setomaa have been founded on pre-Christian sacred sites. The church of Saatse was preceded by a sacred pine tree. On the site of the famous monastery of Pechory (Petseri) there was probably a large sacral complex of a sacred hill with a grove and cave, as well as a sacred spring and offering stone. The site of religious assemblies called Bohomola mägi (‘The hill of praying to God’) was located somewhere on the forested borderlands of the Lutheran province of Livonia and the Orthodox province of Pskov, being attended by peasants from both regions. In Lutheran areas where the modernization of culture started since the 1850s and 1860s already, folkloric evidence is fragmentary and has preserved more poorly. There sites of popular assemblies related to offering on holidays are known from Viitina Vana-mõisa, Villa, Viitka, Paidra, Kuutsi and Linte, and a sacred site of central importance was located also on God’s hill of Vana-Laitsna (presently Vēclaicene municipality in Latvia). Most of these the sites lie in the extreme peripheries of medieval parishes – the churches of Räpina, Vastseliina and Hargla were founded only in the 17th century. The hinterlands of regional holiday assemblies probably correspond to regional identity units based of village groups called “corners” (nulk, kolk). Judging by the location of regional assembly sites of central meaning, their influence radius stretched until 6–10 kilometres. However, the system was not of symmetric character: some sites evidently had larger hinterlands than others and the hinterlands may also have overlapped. The religious gatherings were often related to the solstices in the natural calendar or church holidays replacing them. Existing data give evidence of the intertwining of pre-Christian and Christian elements, especially in the Orthodox areas. In some cases the assembly tradition at sacred natural site has been transformed into local church holidays on the name days of the sanctuary. The strong and long-term preservation of tradition in some holy places of Setomaa results from their association with Christianity and pilgrimages inherent in popular Orthodoxy.

The employer is obliged to grant the employee a leave in the calendar year in which the employee obtained the right to have it. It is in accordance with the principle stipulated in art. 152 § 1 of the Labor Code. However, this principle is not always implemented in practice. Therefore, in accordance with art. 168 of the Labor Code, the employer may grant unused leave for a current year by the end of the third quarter of the following year. Granting unused leave by September 30th does not apply to the part of a leave which was not used by an employee at their request. It is regarded that a deadline for granting an unused leave by the end of September of the following year is kept when 30th of September is the first day of granted unused leave. Not granting the employee's outstanding leave in the above-mentioned time is an offense against the employee's rights. Responsibility for this offense is in principle borne by the employer. Therefore, it should be agreed with the view that the employer may grant overdue leave, even if the employee does not agree to the use of this leave within this period.

Pracodawca jest obowiązany udzielić pracownikowi urlopu w tym roku kalendarzowym, w którym pracownik nabył do niego prawo. Jest to zgodne z zasadą określoną w art. 152 § 1 Kodeksu pracy. 152 § 1 Kodeksu pracy. Zasada ta jednak nie zawsze jest realizowana w praktyce. Dlatego też, zgodnie z art. 168 Kodeksu pracy, pracodawca może udzielić niewykorzystanego urlopu za bieżący rok do końca III kwartału roku następnego. Udzielenie niewykorzystanego urlopu do 30 września nie dotyczy tej części urlopu, która nie została wykorzystana przez pracownika na jego wniosek. Uznaje się, że termin udzielenia niewykorzystanego urlopu do końca września następnego roku jest zachowany, gdy 30 września jest pierwszym dniem udzielonego niewykorzystanego urlopu. Nieudzielenie pracownikowi zaległego urlopu w wyżej wymienionym terminie stanowi wykroczenie przeciwko prawom pracownika. Odpowiedzialność za to wykroczenie ponosi co do zasady pracodawca. Należy zatem zgodzić się z poglądem, że pracodawca może udzielić zaległego urlopu, nawet jeśli pracownik nie wyraża zgody na wykorzystanie tego urlopu w tym terminie.

The aim of the present paper is to thoroughly reconstruct the meaning of the official cult ceremonies for the social life of the Roman Imperial army. Crucial to the analysis is the evidence produced by the Feriale Duranum, a papyrus document dating to the reign of Severus Alexander, but supported also by other sources. The matter of loyalty to the state and ruler is characteristic of most military ceremonies. Hierarchy and social order are emphasised as well, all four being values important for the military ideology. Participation in the same rites influenced the morale and esprit de corps not only in a particular unit, but also within the whole army. Therefore one can view the rites as an expression of a military identity, serving also to distinguish the soldiers as a separate social group. The official holidays were also of importance for the private life of a soldier, being one of few occasions when exemption from work and free time were granted. This made such ceremonies a welcome break from camp routine. As such, the official military religious rites were vital for the social life of both individual soldiers and military communities, be it units or even the whole army.

This article presents the problem of immigrant integration in Poland, which was investigated in a 2022 diagnostic survey of 56 immigrants living in Krakow. The respondents were asked about their opinions on participation in Polish holidays and traditions, introducing their Polish friends to the customs and traditions of their culture, and participation in Polish cultural life (Polish cinema, Polish theater, Polish exhibitions, and concerts of Polish artists). The analysis of the surveyed indicators shows that the vast majority of the respondents (approx. 70–80%) integrate with the host society to a high degree. The vast majority of the respondents (nearly 90%) claimed that they familiarize their Polish friends with their national culture. Sixty-five percent of the respondents claimed that they participate in Polish cultural life very often or often. However, it is still necessary to take care of this group of immigrants who have problems with integration, so there is a need to modify integration policies, as well as to introduce intercultural education to schools and universities in a wider scope.

Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia problem integracji imigrantów w Polsce, który próbowano zbadać za pomocą przeprowadzonych w 2022 roku metodą sondażu diagnostycznego badań, w których wzięło udział 56 imigrantów mieszkających w Krakowie. Aby osiągnąć zamierzony cel badawczy, zapytano badanych m.in. o opinie na temat uczestnictwa w polskich świętach i tradycjach, zapoznawania swoich polskich znajomych ze zwyczajami i tradycjami charakterystycznymi dla swojej kultury, uczestnictwa w polskim życiu kulturalnym (polskie kino, polski teatr, polskie wystawy, koncerty polskich artystów). Z analizy badanych wskaźników wynika, że zdecydowana większość badanych (ok. 70–80%) w wysokim stopniu integruje się ze społeczeństwem przyjmującym. Zdecydowana większość badanych (blisko 90%) twierdziła, że polskich znajomych zapoznaje ze swoją kulturą narodową. 65% badanych twierdziło, że bardzo często bądź często uczestniczy w polskim życiu kulturalnym. Wciąż jednak należy dbać o tę grupę imigrantów, która ma problemy z integracją. Istnieje potrzeba modyfikowania polityki integracji, a także wprowadzania w szerszym zakresie edukacji międzykulturowej do szkół oraz na uczelnie wyższe.

The aim of the article is to show transformations in selected Polish school ceremonies over decades during tens of years in a case study of schools in the city of Bialystok. The presented results are the result of the joint research project conducted by the Department of the History of Education of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology at the University of Bialystok and the Bialystok Open Air Museum (the Branch of Podlaskie Museum in Bialystok) in 2011. The work shows the period of the Second Polish Republic (1918-39), the Polish People’s Republic (1945 – 89) and the present day (since 1989). It helps to show a more comparative point of view. The article describes the yearly cycle of school ceremonials, and especially shows those holidays which have undergone social changes most. The main goal of the ethnographic-historical research was to record forms of school ceremonies and to analyze their course and significance in the school system and the social system. Aschool environment is a microsphere of society, where the importance, kinds, and forms of school ceremonies are changed depending on social transformations. To collect empirical material, research methods and tools from social sciences were used (i.e. surveys, questionnaires collected from teachers, students, and their parents). The valuable basis of knowledge about ceremonies was school documents and school chronicles, which needed reliable and critical analysis because they are indirect historical sources.

Memory belongs to the most frequently used concepts in contemporary Russian and Bulgarian discourses. It is treated as the highest individual and collective value, an inalienable feature of the society’s humanistic, intellectual, and spiritual development.Special attention is paid to research on folklore and ethnography, with a focus on the processes in which the memory of folk tradition is viewed as a sociocultural value. Data from Russian and Bulgarian culture have been carefully examined to discover the reasons why memory comes in variants and why facts in the process of revitalization are treated selectively. Cyclic annual rituals and those commemorating the deceased have been analysed to discover the basic models of actualizing folk memory (modification of old and emergence of new traditions) and shed light on the commercial aspect of memory (tourist attractions, shows, and performances).
