The aim of this paper is to illustrate the public and private spheres. The former represents the area in which each of us carries out their daily activities, while the latter is mirrored by the home. Kate Chopin and Charlotte Perkins Gilman are two salient nineteenth-century writers who shape the everyday life of the historical period they lived in, within their literary works that shed light on the areas under discussion.

The activities of pension funds are subject to regulation and supervision by the state because of the compulsory nature of participation in these institutions of persons subject to compulsory pension insurance. Open pension funds are not additional, voluntary part of the institutional structure, allowing the allocation of income in the life cycle. They are part of the pension system as important as the Social Insurance Fund. Sector pension funds are an important part of the legal and financial structure of the basic pension insurance system, which services are covered by the State guarantee of payment. Two pillars (PAYG and capital) are strongly related and not compete with each other. The importance of pension funds for the development of financial markets highlights the nature of investment. Their role is gradually increasing as the inflow of funds. Open pension funds are important for investors who make a stable and long-term investment on the market, thereby contributing to their sustainable development.

This work describes theory of marketing, communication and communication mix in connection with non-profit organizations. Regional Health Authorities were given as an example. These organizations are public authorities in the sphere of public health protection. It was founded in 2003 by the law. However Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic was set as an official founder. The practical part of the work analyzes forms of communication used by the Regional Public Health Authorities. They are written, verbal and electronic communication. I explored when these forms are used, why are used, frequency of their use and their results. The public authorities are limited by the law very much (logically). Communication is one of the spheres that can be modified by the management of the Regional hygiene station. I think that goodwill (which building is connected with communication) of administrative authority is very important part of its existence. A good strategy of communication with the public is on of the ways how to reach it.

Implementation of IT solutions in administrative proceedings serves to accelerate and facilitate citizens’ access to public services and ensures the most convenient citizen contact with the office thanks to the adaptation process of the institution to new technologies. The possibility of using an electronic method of service is an expression of adapting administration to the needs of modern society. The exercise of this institution is simple and gives the ability to settle the matter very quickly.

This study investigates the practices of public (high) school, private language institute, and public-private teachers. In particular, it aims at addressing the role of contextual factors, the variations teachers introduce to cope with them, and the degree of sustainable behaviour among these three groups of teachers. High school teachers consisted of those who taught only in high schools and the ones teaching both in high schools and private language institutes. For this purpose, classroom practices of 60 EFL teachers (N=20 per group) with 3 to 6 years of teaching experience and BA degree in TEF) were compared in terms of group/pair work, teacher talking time, L1 use, questioning, corrective feedback, and coverage of language skills. The findings of the study indicate that a significant difference exists among these three groups of teachers in terms of their practices. It is noteworthy that in the same teaching context of high school, the practices of teachers with and without private language teaching experience are significantly dissimilar except in the duration of pair/group work activities and the rates of repetition and explicit correction. This study suggests that high school EFL teachers with teaching experience in private language institutes subscribe more closely to the tenets of communicative language teaching and thus can act as powerful agents of sustainable language teaching in Iranian public schools.

Educational achievements in Kerala, India, includes near total literacy, free and universal primary education, low dropout rates, easy access to Higher education resulting in the exceptional social development and quality of life. It is often acclaimed as the ‘Kerala Model’ with reference to the whole education system in India. The initiatives by missionaries and princely regimes of Travancore and Cochin laid the foundation for education in Kerala. The social reform movements accelerated the spread of education. Large scale Government funding of education was an important factor behind the State’s educational development both in private educational institutions established by any person or agency and recognized by and is receiving aid from Government, and Government institutions established and maintained by State Government. This paper focuses on the unique partnership between the private and the public which paved way for the success of the ‘Kerala model’ of education in India along with its challenges and significance.

Demographic changes have an impact on the economic situation of all West European countries. Aging of the population and falling fertility rates are challenges that every government on the continent must deal with. The analysis was based on data concerning demographic situation in Germany. It is the most populous country of the European Union, which has been struggling with crucial demographic changes for several decades. The German government has an active pro-family policy, which mainly aims to increase the number of births. Yet, according to forecasts, the population of Germany will decrease, reaching 80% of the population of 2012 by 2060. The purpose of this paper is to examine the causes of demographic changes in Germany, their effects on the public finances, and the potential effects of the implementation of measures to neutralize the unwanted economic phenomena. The main conclusion is that the public finances of Germany will have to cope with new demographic situation, which may involve the need to further reform the pension system, develop a comprehensive family policy, and the activization of the elderly.

The paper characterizes the reflections of Russian historians, journalists and publicists regarding the election of Ferdinand Coburg as Prince of Bulgaria. These reflections are part of the socio-political discourse of the Russian Empire in 1887–1917. The concept of “socio-political and scientific discourse” is understood by us as a complex of texts – articles, monographs, news reports, cartoons, journalism, as well as the result of social, political, international, cultural, pragmatic, cognitive and philosophical factors characteristic of the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The reflection of the election to the Bulgarian throne of Ferdinand Coburg in the socio-political and scientific discourse of Russia has not previously been the subject of specific historical research. The public interest of the Russian Empire in the election of Ferdinand to the Bulgarian throne in 1887 was determined by the great importance of this Balkan country in the geopolitical plans of the empire. The assessments of the Russian public of this event depended on its perception by the official Russian government. The autocratic government had a decisive influence on the opinion of intellectuals, and the imperial narrative, even after the 1905 Revolution, continued to largely determine the evaluative approaches of both liberal and conservative authors. We can trace the differences in the perception of the fact of the election of Coburg to the Bulgarian throne by representatives of the liberal and conservative trends

Freedom to link became an issue as early as 2014 when the European Court of Justice issued its first ruling in this regard. Due to the Directive 2001/29/EC doubts arose as to how linking could be understood as an act of public communication. However, the issue is still current and controversial, also due to the way it has been regulated and interpreted under European law. It should be noted that linking is an important activity not only in terms of copyright, but also falls within the scope of protection of freedom of expression. Therefore, it is crucial to discuss this issue from the perspective of these two aspects.

The paper discusses a part of manuscript collection of the Załuski Library in Warsaw related to developing, documenting and registering or aimed at influencing public life in the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth. The manuscript collections of the Załuski Library, amounting to about 11-13 000 units, were among the largest and most valuable in Poland up until being dispatched to Saint Petersburg in 1796; following their repossession by Poland after 1922, the vast majority of them (about 80%) were destroyed in 1944. Asthe old handwritten inventories were lost together with the collection, the paper is based on two printed selective catalogues of manuscripts, later inventory and catalogue records drawn up in Saint Petersburg as well as few reference works and other scientific studies. The number of public life documents held in the Załuski Library can be estimated at approximately 300-400 inventory units. The most important ones include Crown Chancellery official books and collections of records concerning administrative, fiscal and military matters of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Anumerous group of materials was represented by sejm diaries, collections of public life documents created by private initiative and for private use as well as official correspondence of Polish kings and state dignitaries

This article deals with corruption and trust in the public administration of nine countries of the former Western bloc and neutral states, which underwent different institutional development compared to post-communist countries, which were susceptible to corruption due to a strongly centralized public administration with complex decision-making processes and the considerable power of officials. Despite the different institutional development of the public administration in Western countries, these countries are not always perceived by the public as trustworthy and not corrupt. This article reveals that in countries like Switzerland, Norway, and Finland, civil servants are perceived by the public as rather trustworthy and not corrupt, whereas in countries like Spain and France, the opposite is true. Using statistical methods, this article also demonstrates that the perception of the involvement of civil servants in corruption and their unequal treatment of citizens diminishes their trust in the eyes of the public. The experience of respondents with bribery on the part of civil servants reduces confidence in the public administration in only two states. In the other seven, this variable was statistically insignificant.

As a result of the pandemic, in March 2020, world museology was cut off from the direct contact with their public. Owing to the introduced regulations, Polish museums were closed down on three occasions (14 March – 4 May 2020, 15 Oct 2020 – 31 Jan 2021, and 20 March – 4 May 2021). When searching for new forms of activity, in 2020, museums made an enormous technological progress, and mastered numerous new competences allowing them to move in cyberspace with ease. The pace at which they introduced various ‘online’ formats is worthy of appreciation. Presently, the time has come to ask whether the effectiveness in reaching the public via such means truly contributed to consolidating a strong bond with them. In order to get the answer to this, it is necessary to critically assess the museum efforts, which will not be possible without researching into the Polish public over that period. Wishing to voice my opinion in the critical discourse on the museums’ activity during the pandemic, I have decided to share my experience from a selected activity of the Museum of Krakow: I have presented the effects of the social Programme titled ‘Stay at Home and Tell Krakow’ (#zostanwdomuiopowiedzkrakow). The Museum created this programme convinced that a city dweller, exposed to the oppression of the pandemic will feel the urge to share his or her experience. Apparently, the appeal made by the Museum of Krakow was eagerly responded to. The Museum received ‘stories’ about the pandemic in different formats: prose, poems, diaries, visual arts, and even musical pieces and artifacts. The results of the ‘Stay at Home and Tell Krakow’ Programme are currently hard to sum up, however, what seems a valuable and worth analysing experience is the focus of residents’ attention on the Museum which they considered an institution trustworthy enough to entrust it their private, often intimate reflections on living through that challenging period.

Getting away? How state-run media in late-socialist Czechoslovakia helped to subtly control potentially dangerous everyday practices among cottage owners

This paper explores the interweaving of socialist ideology and the everyday in late socialist Czechoslovakia by analyzing the content of a popular hobby magazine and of a television series between 1968 and 1989. The magazine and the series relate to the phenomenon of weekend cottage ownership, which became especially popular among Czechs and Slovaks from the late 1960s to 80s. While not overtly oppositional to the socialist state, cottage ownership was perceived as potentially dangerous by state authorities because the values it promoted — self-reliance, acquisition of personal property, recreation for private pleasure — ran counter to the state ideology. Based on the analysis of the magazine and the series, this article argues that the subtle use of language in state-controlled media helped to subsume the practice of cottage ownership and to create a distinct public that was incorporated into socialist discourse, stripping the practice of undesirable connotations such as materialism and individualism.

Policja, jako umundurowana i uzbrojona formacja służąca społeczeństwu i przeznaczona do ochrony bezpieczeństwa ludzi oraz właśnie do utrzymywania bezpieczeństwa i porządku publicznego, została powołana na podstawie ustawy z dnia 6 kwietnia 1990 r. o Policji. Do podstawowych zadań Policji należy ochrona życia i zdrowia ludzi oraz mienia przed bezprawnymi zamachami naruszającymi te dobra, ochrona bezpieczeństwa i porządku publicznego, w tym zapewnienie spokoju w miejscach publicznych oraz w środkach publicznego transportu i komunikacji publicznej, wykrywanie przestępstw i wykroczeń oraz ściganie ich sprawców, jak również prowadzenie działań kontrterrorystycznych. Wskazać należy, że policja nie jest w stanie samodzielnie zapewnić bezpieczeństwa na terenie województwa śląskiego. Konieczny jest udział innych instytucji oraz zaangażowanie społeczności lokalnych. O powyższych kwestiach traktuje niniejszy artykuł.

Police forces, as a uniform and armed formation which is supposed to serve the community and protect it through the maintenance of public order, was set up by the Act of 6th April 1990 on the Police. The protection of people’s health and life, their property, public safety and order, crime prevention activities along with the maintenance of safety in public transport as well as detecting crimes and misdemeanors, arresting criminals and counterterrorism activities constitute the main duties of the aforementioned formation. It should be pointed out that the Police of the Silesian voivodeship area is unable to provide security single-handedly. Thus, the participation of other institutions along with the involvement of the local community is crucial.

Public Private Partnership (PPP) Housing scheme in Nigeria is intended to complement government effort toward increasing housing stock and providing affordable housing in the country. However, Bauchi state government adopted the construction of 5,000 phases PPP Housing. But 6 years after the commencement of the scheme, only a few numbers of housing units were completed and commissioned. Therefore, it becomes imperative to carry out research on the impact level of those factors affecting the implementation of the scheme. The aim of the study is to investigate impact level of factors affecting the implementation of PPP housing projects in Bauchi state with a view to find out possible ways that will improve the implementation of the scheme. The descriptive and explorative research design was adopted for this study. 54 structured Questionnaires were administered to construction professional’s staff under private housing developers and relevant government agencies in Bauchi state. 42 valid Questionnaires were retrieved and analysed with SPSS software. The result of the quantitative data analysis shows that creation of favourable investment environment and government support have very high Impact on the implementation of Bauchi PPP housing projects. Therefore, this study recommends that government and other stakeholders should give more attention to the creation of favourable investment environment, support in policy formulation and managerial strategies in the future for improving the implementation of PPP housing projects.

Here I discuss two controversial distinctions that have an essential role in Rorty's pragmatism: the distinction between descriptive and normative discourses, and the distinction between the private and public dimensions of human life. Neither of them is Rorty's novelty, but the way he stresses them is unique. The first is a central presupposition of his Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (1979), while the other is the argumentative base of Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1989). I will argue that the distinctions provide metaphilosophical tools for Rorty's pragmatism, and that our stance towards the latter depends on the plausibility of them.

This paper reports results of geodemographic-spatial analyses of physical health-care facilities in Nigeria’s 36 states and federal capital. Apart from facilitating understanding of the interaction between health facilities and population sizes and their characteristics in the states, the geodemographic-spatial analyses proved useful in ranking shares of health facilities in Nigeria’s states/territory. The findings show distributions (per capita shares) of various health-care facilities in the following states: highest shares of public (primary and secondary) health facilities and fair share of tertiary facilities in Kogi; lowest per capita shares of public and private primary health care facilities in Ebonyi; highest per capita share of private health facilities in Nasarawa (primary), Anambra (secondary) and Oyo (tertiary); highest total private health facilities of all levels due to the large number of its private primary health facilities in Nasarawa. The results show how the policies of governments and private organizations providing health services responded to health needs of state populations and highlight areas requiring further research. The policy implications of the study include the need to apply geodemographic and spatial analyses as part of the criteria for determining policy for providing or allocating health facilities in the states/territory.

The article examines the negative approach of Poles towards political parties and partisanship in the recent years, presenting this phenomenon as a part of wider anti-party syndrome, characterizing Polish democracy after 1989. Adapting the approach of Torcal, Gunther and Montero (2002), the author constructs a scale of the anti-partyism, based on the statements typical for anti-party discourse, assessed by respondents in three surveys conducted in 1995, 2001 and 2011. Subsequently, some explanations of anti-party attitudes are tested. The analyses demonstrate that anti-partyism in Poland is relatively durable and embraces both cultural and reactive components. Anti-party attitudes are more visible among citizens socialized during the communist period. However, the consolidation of democracy generated its “own” anti-partyism: the youngest citizens were gradually more disinclined to political parties in the period analyzed (1995–2011).
