Dogs for millennia operate alongside humans. The presence of these animals, by its universality, usually does not raise research vigilance. Meanwhile, the relationship human–dog could provide an additional resource supporting various forms and areas of human existence. However, to make this possible in a beneficial manner to all concerned parties, it is worth to analyze already existing phenomenons. Especially those related to the functioning of the family.

With the end of ontotheology we may realize, as Dewey did, that what sustains us is our caring relationships with physical nature, biological life, and other persons. My paper argues that relationships are ontologically basic and caring relations are morally basic. Right relationship binds us to the world and holds us together. We live by the grace of others. I conclude that after ontotheology, we must seek to form reciprocal, caring, and creative relationships.

The aim of the article is to provide answers to two research questions. Firstly, what in business practice is needed to convert a contact into beneficial relationship. And secondly, whether numerous personal contacts, the so-called “connections” are sufficient to achieve sustained success in creating business relationships. The authors responded the questions by using the results of research conducted among 419 companies. As a result they proposed a scheme of the development process from contact to a beneficial relationship.

The City According to Mike Leigh

The City According to Mike Leigh The key to the interpretation of the image of London presented in Mike Leigh’s films can be found in his own words: “I actually do think London is a hidden city the way New York isn’t.” and “You can get the hang of New York, but London is a collection of villages. It takes a long time to get under its skin.” London in Mike Leigh’s films perfectly matches the director’s creative thought, exposing social differences and the lack of communication in the family. However, the director releases his characters from the dark corners and hideous streets, and lets more light and nature into their lives. Thanks to this, as he has said, the city becomes a collection of small villages, which for him is the greatest value of the place where he lives and makes his

Theoretical background: The use of robots/AI in the workplace has grown rapidly in the last years. There is observed enlargement not only of the numbers of robots but also the quality of their functions and applications. Therefore, many questions of practical, scientific and moral nature have arisen. The flowering use of robots has drawn scientists’ attention to interactions between humans and robots. As a result, a new multidisciplinary research area – Human-Robot Interactions (HRI) – is growing. Representatives of HRI try to answer the questions like: How anthropomorphic features of robots may affect interactions between robots and employees? How are robots supposed to look and behave to make interactions more pleasant for employees? Can human cooperation with humanoid robots lead to the formation of socio-mechanical bonds?Purpose of the article: The paper aims to identify determinants of human-robot interactions in the workplace and identify key research problems in this area.Research methods: The method of a systematic review of the literature fulfiled the above-mentioned purpose. The Web of Science was chosen as the basic database. The list of publications from the Web of Science was supplemented with some other publications which were related to the topic.Main findings: There are several factors that determine the perception and quality of HRI in the workplace. Especially trust, anthropomorphic features of the robot, and organizational assignment may decide about the human acceptance of the use of a non-human agent and HRI. The concept of social interaction with robots is at an initial stage yet. An adopted research paradigm also plays an important role. It seems that the classical assumptions of organizational sociology will not stand the test of time. Researchers and practitioners are facing new challenges. Especially there are some ontological questions that are not easy to be answered unanimously. Can we treat a robot as a mechanical device or rather as a member of a newly created community?

This article analyses the components of love and the stages of a love relationship in relation to the increasingly common phenomenon of divorce in society. The author underlines that the reason of filing for divorce may be the further development of love and – more specifically – the decline of passion and intimacy, of which the spouses may not be aware. Qualitative changes in love surprise the spouses and cause dissatisfaction. The availability and popularity of divorces, in turn, induce the spouses to resort to such tools. According to the author, an increase in the social awareness in this matter could make it possible to avoid many divorce processes.

The article is an attempt to examine the archive of letters written to the Teatr Ziemi Mazowieckiej and to reconstruct the theatre’s practices aimed at giving voice to its audience. The preserved letters allow us to ask questions about the ways of building relations with the audience by the theatre, which inspired their creation and also used them in its programmes. The content of the letters and the strategies used by their authors allow us to pose a hypothesis that the theatre’s management constructed a discourse different from that of the reviewers, who disdained the work of the theatre. The archive also allows us to postulate a counter-criticism which, unlike the hierarchically establishing criticism, uses the rhetoric of enthusiasm and care, locating a political potential in kindness and seeing in it an ability to make things happen.

The study refers to the role of building relations between the direct supervisor and employee teams, indicating the opportunities and threats resulting from conducting selected aspects of internal communication in the so-called uniformed organisations. The authors draw attention to the roles of communication competencies and their social overtones, seeing in these elements both opportunities and threats to the involvement of employees in the performance of official tasks, as well as their readiness to deepen relations with their direct superior. The presented results of empirical research concern the organisation of the Ministry of National Defence and the State Fire Service and are only an element of a larger research project. The aim of the research process was to determine the opportunities and threats generated by aspects of organisational communication in the context of maintaining a satisfactory state of personal security of the examined institutions participating in activities in the field of defence and protection of population, property and the environment.

Public relations is a critical profession in contemporary society, which is characterized by global interaction, relationships, and responsibility. Unfortunately, public relations has been institutionalized as a symbolic-interpretive activity that organizations use to exert their power over publics and to disguise the consequences of their behaviors from publics, governments, and the media. This article discusses an alternative role for public relations as a strategic management rather than a messaging activity. It presents a model of public relations in strategic management and examines research that elaborates segments of the model: environmental scanning, stakeholders and publics, issues and crises, scenario building, cultivating and evaluating relationships, tracing the effect of relationships on reputation, planning and evaluating communication programs strategically, and how digital media can be used to further the strategic management process. It concludes that research is needed on how public relations can be empowered and institutionalized as a strategic management activity.

The transactional analysis concept assumes that everybody has specific areas of themselves: Parent ego-state, Adult ego-state and Child ego-state. In this approach, Parent and Child have two separate, in a sense, opposing aspects. In the case of the first one, it is a Controlling Parent and a Nurturing Parent, and in the case of Child – a Free Child and an Adapted Child. Entering into a relationship with another human being, we do it from the particular level of ourselves. In a traditional Polish school – already at the early education stage – relations between the teacher and the child usually take place between Controlling Parent and Adapted Child. On the other hand, the use of new technologies in education forces, in effect, the system to change to Adult–Adult with simultaneous involvement of a Free Child of both parties. The article concerns the analysis the difficulties resulting from the change of the said system (especially on the part of teachers) and the search for the reasons of this situation.

In the article, I discuss the circumstances of suicidal attempts made by adolescents aged 14-21 and ponder this issue in the context of risk factors and theoretical determinants. I analyze suicide from an epidemiological and functional perspective. I present the statistical frequency of occurrences, risk factors, and mechanisms that accompany suicide among children and adolescents. I reviewed the findings of British, American, and Polish research within this scope, pointing out the similarities in cognitive, volitional, and emotional changes in adolescents dying by suicide. In the theoretical part of the article, I focus on the theory of emotion dysregulation (Linehan, 1993) and the interpersonal theory of suicide (Van Orden et al., 2010), outlining two areas in which the risk of adolescent suicide increases. I study the areas of emotions and interpersonal relationships. I show how they relate to adaptation difficulties, changes in mood, and temperament. The research procedure provided for analysis of reference materials including suicide notes left by adolescents and statements by their family and friends that would allow reconstruction of the period before suicide. I analyze the reference materials, which constitute prosecutors’ archives, with the use of the semantic field method. The findings are presented with focus on how the emotions experienced are described and how interpersonal relationships are interpreted. I was looking for keywords used for these descriptions, the frequency of their use, and the context for interpretation of statement fragments. The semantic analysis performed allowed me to frame conclusions important for educators that point to areas in which adolescents inform about their adverse adaptation experiences. The ability to create space for expression and interpretation of the message becomes one of pedagogical preventive measures. At the same time, the process of interpreting the meanings that emerged from children's and adolescents’ suicide notes provides valuable information that explain difficulties in expressing their suffering and pressure to adults.

The researchers of the history of human development are unanimous about the fact that since the beginning of human existence to the present day the foundation of society are family ties. With the development of civilization mankind created new levels of social ties, which formed sequentially nationali-ty, country, civilizations until modern ties brought by globalization leads to the birth of humanity which is the most general. The development of means of communication, transport and media accelerates the processes of globalization inevitably leads to the formation of the Earth as a "global village" or a world without borders.

The aim of the paper is the idea of cooperation as an undervalued element of the system of market economy. The system has been dominated by competition despite the wishes of its founding father, Adam Smith. Several other authors have also pointed to the fact and proposed to focus more on cooperation in order to keep economy in balance with society. Excessive reliance on the competition hurt people’s relationships and undermined their place in the economic system. The significance of cooperation rises when combined with the idea of culture and shared values. Chosen methods of assessing values as related to economic development are mentioned. The World Values Survey (WVS) results are used to assess the proximity of the values of the neighbouring countries of Poland. Despite changes in the composition of the values in Poland and the countries, the analysis shows that a great deal of these values are common which may potentially enhance potential international cooperation among these countries.

The article discusses the problem of building, maintaining and developing relationships of developers with affiliated enterprises. Developers can actively shape their relationships with entities in their environment. Maintaining and developing relationships is important for the development of the company and the developers should be strongly involved in these activities. The result of effective management of the relationship with the environment is an increase in their competitiveness, the reduction of marketing costs, the growth of loyalty of entities in the environment to the firm. Attention to customer satisfaction - home buyers, but also partnerships with suppliers, cooperating companies, brokers, banks, institutions regulating the market, the media and their own staff should be at the desired level, so that an enterprise can develop in a dynamic competitive environment.

The family is supposed to give the child a sense of security, belonging, acceptance and love.1 If, however, instead of these pleasant experiences, the most prevalent atmosphere is that of, abuse, trauma, violence, horror and fear, the child will not feel safe, accepted and loved. Even worse, later in life, he will unconsciously search for situations that will awaken in him, and re-create that primary atmosphere and underlying affects, because in his intrapsychic world, they equal belonging and familiarity. Clinical experience and research show that incest is one of the severest traumas caused to the human psyche and body. In the paper, we will first present the definition, prevalence and discuss factors such as the duration of the incest and the age of victims and perpetrators. Then, we will describe the relations, roles and dynamics within incestuous families, where the child finds himself with his own pain among people who should be trustworthy, who should give safety and a sense of being loved, but instead they abuse the child, violating all the boundaries, taking away one’s dignity and killing the soul.

The West is changing profoundly and so is its cultural and community-building potential. When we observe the transformations of this civilization in such aspects as fertility rates, marriage and divorce statistics, single-parenthood and out-of-wedlock births, birth control and euthanasia, one may look for a common explanation of this phenomena. It seems that people care less for each-other and more about themselves, and spend less time in long-term relationships which demand engagement, devotion and readiness to serve. At the same time, they do not seem to be happier or wealthier. According to the thesis of my paper, in order to understand and explain the changes listed above it is necessary to analyze them in a wider framework of socio-cultural shifts that took place in recent centuries in the West. This paper concentrates on such phenomena as secularization, rise of individualism and transformations of family life. These elements are going to be tested as key processes which triggered and facilitated profound transformations of culture and social structure which manifest themselves today in such alarming trends as, for example, demographic imbalance due to declining fertility and population ageing, decreasing human capital due to low-quality socialization, population control as well as eugenic practices or feminization of poverty. It seems that the current socio-economic condition of the West calls for critical and thorough analysis of dominating norms, values and beliefs which influence everyday decisions and the actions of millions of people who, in general, do not want to see the decline of their welfare and well-being. The aim of this paper is to engage and combine different findings from such disciplines as economics, psychology, history, sociology and cultural studies in order to present the will to serve which can be described as a foundational dimension and condition of life.

The aim of this paper is to analyse Marilyn Duckworth’s Married Alive within the framework of Simone de Beauvoir’s philosophy of ambiguity, risk and reciprocal recognition. It is argued that the New Zealand writer represents human relationships both as a potential threat to one’s subjectivity, conceptualising them in terms of conflict and competition, and a necessity that may enrich both parties. What is celebrated in the novel as the key to establishing a mutually rewarding bond is the wilful acceptance of risk and reciprocal recognition of oneself and the lover as both subject and object.

Analysis of time series was performed of cloudiness, air temperature and precipitation for the years 1951-2000, the data used representing lowland Poland. The properties of the temporal course of these elements of climate and the interrelations between their variability in time have been determined. The strength of dependence of precipitation and temperature upon the magnitude of cloudiness in the annual cycle has been assessed with the linear correlation coefficient. The essential climate-forming role of cloudiness has been confirmed. The magnitude of cloudiness over Poland explains up to 70% of variability of temperature and precipitation. These interrelations are the strongest in the warmer half of the year. Atmospheric circulation and cloudiness explain up to 85% of variability of the climate elements studied.

The subject of this paper are guarantees of religious freedom – in an individual, community and institutional dimension – included in the concordat between the Holy See and the Republic of Cape Verde on 10 June 2013. Prepared over many years and concluded 37 years after the independence of the Republic of Cape Verde, it was signed by Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, who represented the Holly See, and Jorge Alberto da Silva Borges, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cape Verde. The regulation of this convention (which consists of a preamble and 30 articles) provides for the legal status of the Catholic Church in reference to more than twenty detailed issues, which is typical of the so-called exhaustive concordats, which include the whole range of issues both parties are interested in. When describing a concordat, it needs to be mentioned that what is striking in them is above all full respect and appreciation of the rule of religious freedom, in all its dimensions and aspects.
