Log-linear models are used to analyze the relationship between two or more categorical (e.g. nominal or ordinal) variables. The term log-linear derives from the fact that one can, through logarithmic transformations, restate the problem of analyzing multi-way frequency tables in terms that are very similar to ANOVA. Specifically, one may think of the multi-way frequency table to reflect various main effects and interaction effects that add together in a linear fashion to bring about the observed table of frequencies. There are several types of models between dependence and independence: homogenous association, partial association, conditional association and null model. Expected cell frequencies are obtained with the use of iterative proportional fitting algorithm (IPF) [Deming, Stephen 1940]. The next step is to derive model coefficients for single variables as well as for interaction parameter and the most useful tool for interpreting model parameter is odds and odds ratio. Log-linear models are available in R software with the use of loglm function in MASS library and glm function in stats library. In this paper log-linear analysis will be presented with the use of available packages on empirical datasets in economic area.

The article presents a new data-collection technique that can be applied in identity studies: analogy. The use of metaphor in identity studies is no novelty, but this particular creative exercise used in sociological research has not been described before in the methodological literature. Three pieces of research in which this technique has been applied are presented here: studies in which participants have been asked to analogise the profession of sociologist, a state-owned company, or a privately-owned company with animals, plants, automobiles musical instruments, or types of meals. The article highlights the special features of the analogy technique, such as the fact that it diminishes the control mechanisms of the participants, making the data that are obtained less sensitive to social desirability. The analogy is presented as an unusual and fun technique that breaks up the routine of the respondent’s day-to-day life and is a contrast to the monotonous nature of common tests and questionnaires. Applying this exercise in social research is easy. Analogy obtains meaningful answers from participants and it provides valuable results. Because it is able to access surprising information and a very wide range of identity aspects, analogy can be used in all kinds of social research: sociological, psychological, management, political sciences, communication, social work, public relations, human resources, and others.

Lifelong learning is not an aim but a means for continuous and permanent development and successful advancement of each individual. Not only does it bring competitive advantage at the labour market, but it also helps to solve problems and provides new knowledge and contacts. Thanks to lifelong learning any individual has an opportunity to get educated at various stages of his life in accordance with his own interests and needs and his value at the labour market is increasing. Lifelong learning differs from school education by a variety of means, methods and motivation. The paper describes and analyses one of the main stages of lifelong learning, which is the adult education at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague (CULS). The main aim of this paper is to provide basic information on the lifelong education at the faculty of Economics and Management of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Selected statistical methods of quantitative research were used in order to analyse the above-mentioned issues. The data were obtained from a questionnaire survey and analysed using the one-dimensional as well as multidimensional statistical methods. The basis for the analysis itself were the data about students in the courses of lifelong education in the combined form of studying at the Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM) of CULS in Prague between the years 2004 – 2012.

 In response to the assumptions of new public management models and public or good governance, practical aspects of research in the area of public admin­istration and the development possibilities of qualitative research methods are presented in the article. Due to the fact that qualitative research has become increasingly popular in the above disciplines, data archiving and trans­parency is discussed (Moravcsik), (Yom et al.) and guidelines and principles are established (American Political Science Association). However, there is a lot of controversy among scholars (Monroe), and some examples are missing. This paper presents the challenge of ‘openness’ in the empirical activities (or empirical practice) of researchers. Its purpose is to present the archiving data potential from in-depth interviews on the example of a small set of qualitative data from research in the field of public administration. Firstly, the basic assumptions of new models of functioning of public administration and related consequences for researchers are described. In the second part, the challenges related to openness in contemporary public administration models are briefly mentioned. Next, the method of creating an archive from existing data, individual stages, documents, and data is outlined; it is based on the au­thor’s best practice on Qualidata (American Political Science Association; Van den Eynden et al.) and DA-RT principles.1 The summary includes examples of probable opportunities and challenges related to usage of data archiving for the research in public administration and political science development.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie komunikowania się personelu z niepełnosprawnymi intelektualnie mieszkańcami domu pomocy społecznej. Artykuł koncentruje się na symbolicznym akcie komunikacji, w którym główną rolę odgrywają różne formy ekspresji upośledzonych umysłowo podopiecznych. Kontekstem prowadzonych rozważań jest ogólna charakterystyka porozumiewania się osób niepełnosprawnych intelektualnie z otoczeniem, odwołująca się do takich mechanizmów interakcyjnych, jak intencjonalność i istotność, a także sytuacyjność oraz standaryzacja komunikatu. W badaniach wykorzystane zostały dane jakościowe, zdobyte przez pogłębiony wywiad swobodny oraz obserwację jawną, przeprowadzone z personelem i niepełnosprawnymi intelektualnie mieszkańcami domu pomocy społecznej. Analiza i interpretacja materiału badawczego prowadzona jest zgodnie z zasadami metodologii teorii ugruntowanej.

W niniejszym artykule porównujemy różne metody oceny konsensusu w testach koniunktury, w których respondenci wyrażają oczekiwania na skali uporządkowanej. Wiarygodna metoda pomiaru siły konsensusu w oczekiwaniach respondentów dostarczyłaby ekonomistom cennych informacji, stanowiąc wiodący wskaźnik nastrojów podmiotów gospodarczych. Nie ma jednak jednej ogólnie przyjętej miary matematycznej służącej do oceny zgodności między wyrażanymi przez respondentów opiniami. W literaturze wymienianych jest kilka miar, w tym wskaźniki oparte na miarach dyspersji, entropii i wielowymiarowym simpleksie. W artykule przedstawiamy zdefiniowane w literaturze miary konsensusu oraz omawiamy ich zalety i ograniczenia. Następnie wykorzystujemy te wskaźniki do analizy oczekiwań wyrażonych w teście koniunktury w przetwórstwie przemysłowym w Polsce i porównujemy wyniki dla różnych zmiennych ekonomicznych. W kilku przypadkach znajdujemy powtarzalne schematy w zachowaniu miar konsensusu: oczekiwania cenowe charakteryzują się najwyższym stopniem konsensusu, a oczekiwania na temat produkcji i zamówień – najniższym. Wskazujemy również powiązania między stopniem konsensusu a stopniem optymizmu wśród respondentów mierzonym statystykami bilansowymi w przypadku cen, zatrudnienia i ogólnej sytuacji gospodarczej.

In this article, we aim to compare various methods of evaluating consensus in qualitative business surveys in which respondents express expectations on the ordered scale. A reliable method of measuring degree of consensus would provide researchers with valuable information, offering a leading indicator of respondent sentiment. However, there is no single generally accepted mathematical measure applicable to evaluating agreement among respondents. Several approaches are mentioned in previous studies, including indicators based on statistical dispersion, Shannon entropy, and multi-dimensional simplex. We present measures of consensus defined in literature and discuss their advantages and limitations. We then employ these indicators to expectations expressed in Polish business tendency survey in manufacturing, and compare results across various economic variables. In several cases, we find patterns in the behavior of measures of consensus: expected prices are characterized by the highest degree of consensus among respondents, and expected production and orders – by the lowest degree of consensus. We also find linkages between the degree of consensus and degree of optimism among respondents as measured by the balance statistic for prices, employment, and general business conditions.

The research process is connected with reflection on the correctness of the conclusions. In qualitative research, which does not use such formalized procedures to assess validity and reliability as quantitative research does, there is a space for discussion about other conditions, on the basis of which to judge the correctness. Qualitative research leads to individual explanations and is grounded in a specific context. The issue of the data context acquires a particularly important meaning and is present at every stage of the research process. This text analyzes the presence of context, referring to language definitions, with examples from ethnographic research conducted in the gymnasium.

Proces badawczy związany jest z refleksją na temat poprawności formułowanych wniosków. W badaniach jakościowych, które nie posługują się tak sformalizowanymi procedurami do oceny trafności i rzetelności jak w badaniach ilościowych, pojawia się przestrzeń do dyskusji nad innymi warunkami, na podstawie których można ocenić poprawność. Badania jakościowe prowadzą do wyjaśnień jednostkowych i ugruntowanych w określonym kontekście. Kwestia kontekstu danych nabiera szczególnie ważnego znaczenia i jest obecna na każdym etapie procesu badawczego. W niniejszym tekście dokonuję analizy obecności kontekstu, odnosząc się do definicji językowych. Podaję przykłady z przeprowadzonych badań etnograficznych w gimnazjum.
