Safety culture – along with quality and environmental culture – determines a positive image, competitive advantage and financial benefits. As a result, interest in this category continues to grow (CE or B certification). Safety culture can be considered from the point of view of philosophy, sociology, anthropology, economics and management as evidenced by Andrzej Chodyński’s rich compilation of terms, definitions and points of reference. The aim of the article is to look at safety culture as an object of economic accounting, thus treating safety culture as an economic category and answering the questions: can safety culture be an object of operationalisation based on the principle of dualism dominant in accounting and, therefore, can safety culture be a measurable category using the general profitability index? These issues are particularly important from the perspective of Safety First companies. The answers to the research problems posed are provided by a literature analysis, an analysis of financial documents and a case study. For the identification and valuation of safety culture, the generalised ROAH was used. The article thus resolves the measurability of safety culture and introduces, verifies and evaluates a tool grounded in accounting theory.

The article aims to identify main research challenges in studying coworking spaces (CSs) within the field of economic geography. It combines the perspective of proximity economics with the growing body of papers about spatial aspects of the operations of CSs and their role in stimulating collaboration. Based on a review of literature, the author identified the characteristic features of CSs and the corresponding proximity dimensions. He further assessed the significance of various dimensions of proximity in CSs. The article reveals how various proximities differ between CSs. It also distinguished the research strands referring to the spatialities of CSs. Next, it discusses the conceptualisation and operationalisation of proximity. Then, it applied it in the micro-scalar context of coworking spaces. The paper sheds a new light on ‘real CSs’ as physical spaces of strong institutional, cognitive and social proximities. It has been argued that even if organisational proximity in CSs is taken for granted, there is a heterogeneity amongst their users.

The article is a review aiming to present the current research on the concept of geographic proximity and attempts to conceptualise it. The implementation of such a task required the identification of different ways of approaching the analysed issue, which was served by a systematic review of the literature, not performed on such a scale since the study of J. Knoben and L. Oerlemans (2006) (Micek, 2017). Proximity was captured in it using three types of logic: belonging, neighbourhood or similarity. Studies of proximity perceived as a value and trying to capture its intensity are rare. On the other hand, studies based on the proximity thresholds (most often expressed regarding physical distance) or affiliation to an administrative unit dominate. Meanwhile, proximity should be measured similarly as it is perceived and therefore using the logic of similarity. Therefore, there is a contradiction between the existing methods of measuring proximity and the essence of the concept itself. There is a need to capture proximity on a continuum that illustrates its intensity. The assessment of proximity, however, requires joint consideration of both objective and subjective measures, as well as the rejection of the thesis on the binary nature of the concept of proximity (Torre, Rallet, 2005).

Ekskluzja społeczna — zjawisko społeczne czy „temat zastępczy”?

Social exclusion is a concept, which has been popularized in social policy programs since the 1970s. In documents of the European Union, exclusion virtually eliminated the concept of poverty, although it is mainly defined through poverty. The definitions of social exclusion evolve towards adding more and more dimensions to the phenomenon. This article attempts to answer the question whether we are really dealing with a completely new social phenomenon or whether previously known phenomena, such as: poverty, social inequality, marginalisation or discrimination have evolved so that this new quality needed new nomenclature. The article deals with multidimensional definitions of social exclusion, the provenance of the concept in public debate, as well as the discourse’s directions and paradigms of social exclusion.

Artykuł prezentuje propozycję operacjonalizacji i pomiaru kapitału intelektualnego (KI) regionu na przykładzie Lubelszczyzny zgodną z opracowanym wcześniej modelem konceptualnym. W operacjonalizacji zaproponowanego modelu wykorzystano zarówno podejście oparte na idei zbiorów rozmytych, jak i podejście właściwe modelowaniu strukturalnemu (analiza ścieżki). Zastosowane procedury pozwoliły: (1) zweryfikować poprawność proponowanego modelu teoretycznego oraz (2) skwantyfikować kapitał intelektualny Lubelszczyzny, pokazując, że istnieje wyraźny podział regionu na powiaty o odmiennym poziomie KI w ramach czterech wyróżnionych kategorii.

The aim of the article was to present the methods of operationalisation and measurement of intellectual capital of the region. The methods of fuzzy sets and structural equation modelling were used. The obtained results were the following: (1) the verification of the conceptual model of intellectual capital of the region and (2) measurement of intellectual capital of region.
