There is an intuition that the past does not ever change. In their paper ‘The puzzle of the changing past’, Luca Barlassina and Fabio Del Prete argue that in 2012 the past changed. The author shows that we are not in a position to accept their argument.

Reorientacja systemu ochrony zdrowia w kierunku rozwiązań stosowanych z powodzeniem w krajach, gdzie realizowana jest liberalna doktryna ekonomiczna, oznacza konieczność dokonania usprawnienia zasad organizacji systemu ochrony zdrowia jako całości oraz organizacji i funkcjonowania poszczególnych jego podmiotów. Osiągnięcie celów stawianych przed dokonywanymi w ramach reformy działaniami, których wspólny mianownik można określić jako uzyskanie pożądanej efektywności systemu ochrony zdrowia jako całości oraz poszczególnych jego podmiotów, wymaga implementacji innych niż dotychczas sposobów zarządzania jednostkami świadczącymi usługi zdrowotne, a to takich, które stosowane są z powodzeniem w sektorze organizacji komercyjnych. Mając na uwadze różnice, jakie występują między sektorem publicznym a prywatnym, uważamy, iż możliwe jest zastosowanie w organizacjach metod i narzędzi zarządzania, jednak z uwzględnieniem specyfiki sektora ochrony zdrowia.

Reorientation of the healthcare system towards solutions successfully implemented in countries following a liberal economic doctrines signifies at need for reinventing both the healthcare system as a whole and its individual entities. Achieving the goals of reform orientated towards attaining the desired efficiency of the healthcare system and its organizations requires implementation of management methods used in commercial organizations. Taking into account differences existing between the public and private sector, we believe that it is possible to apply methods and management tools from the private sector, but their application must take into account the specifics of the healthcare sector.

THE CZECH ECONOMIC ELITE AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS OF POST-SOCIALIST TRANSFORMATION

The East-Central European post-socialist transformations have now reached a new stage, with the need to address the problems of further modernisation and maintenance in the context of the EU. The role of elites in this process is as intermediators between the influence of the European context and the needs and interests of differentiated internal social structures. Their attitudes and behaviour exhibit a high degree of internal fragmentation and division corresponding to various strategical orientations favouring various societal models. The post-socialist Czech economic elite was initially reproduced out of former state socialist managers and their cadre reserves. After the first phase of economic developments, inspired by neo-liberal radical privatisation and elements of 'shock therapy', and once the new, more European phase ushered in many new factors, there was a distinct decline in the number of 'old-new' economic elite on the scene. In the empirical part of the article the results of several surveys are used to briefly describe the changes in the composition of the Czech economic elite in the 1994-2005 period and to summarise their attitudes and behaviour. The analysis concludes that the current image of a liberal and pro-European Czech elite is consistent with the stable and remarkable progress of the Czech economy since 1999, the considerable wealth, strong profits, and high salaries enjoyed by top elites, and the enhancement of their role in the European economy. There are also some limitations and weak points that diverge from this general picture. The article's conclusions touch on the question of the role of the economic elite in the progress of arriving at more consensual attitudes and behaviour among societal elites as a whole, favouring further economic growth, modernisation and the strengthening of social cohesion in the context of the EU.

The authoress describes the practical reality of counselling in relation to educational counselling. The analysis of this reality constitutes the source of the proposed changes. The authoress believes that counselling under school's jurisdiction (the educational counselling) is not being reformed in accordance with social requirements and development of science. Excessive formalism, schematism of structural-functional activities dominated by diagnosis cause the collapse of institutional counselling's authority, where the main goal of counsellors' activity becomes to create expert opinions whenever schools need them. The specific character of the counsellor's work with a child introduces certain restrictions on applying general solutions in the area of counselling, yet it does not exempt us from searching for and implementing new forms and ways of assistance directed at a child and his or her family. The necessity of a change poses a challenge for educational counselling, in which advice-giving and diagnostic labelling performed for the sake of creating expert opinions should be replaced with actions that are supportive, therapeutic and, most importantly, take into account needs of counselees, not the school's expectations.

Perdurance is one of the ways in which material objects can exist in time. This way of existing in time is of the special significance when the so-called 'Leibniz's Law' (the law of indiscernibility of identicals) is being applied to material objects undergoing changes in time. According to the Leibniz's Law, if two objects are identical, they can be ascribed exactly the same properties. However, an object existing before a change does not share all its properties with the very same object existing after a change - this is what a change consists in. The proponents of perdurance want to solve the above puzzle in the following way: an object is to be understood as composed of temporal parts, and to these temporal parts we can ascribe different properties, like 'being p' and 'being non-p'. In such a way, according to the proponents of perdurance, we can give an account of how a change is compatible with identity of an object. However, it seems that if the doctrine of perdurance is supposed to solve problems with identity through change, temporal parts must be understood as non-momentary (extended in time) and arbitrary (their ontological status cannot be superior to the status of objects). Otherwise the doctrine of perdurance is threatened by the so called 'no-change' objection, according to which there is no real change of perduring objects, since there is nothing to survive a change, as there are only successions of different objects, that is, successions of temporal parts.

The paper explores possible changes of personal identity due to deep brain stimulation (DBS) on the background of a universal problem of combining the persistence through time with the change of an object. It is argued, that in the conception of perdurantism the problem can be resolved without the elimination of identity. Here the identity is put under threat only when the psychological criterion is applied. The application of memory, corporeal or biological criteria means no threat to personal identity of a person undergoing DBS.

The article shows a transition from historico-philosophical research to philosophical research in the Barbara Skarga's book 'Tozsamosc i róznica' (Identity and Difference), which is connected with reflection on what is constant and what is changeable. Thinking about something that is constant led unevitably to metaphysical problems and the autonomy of philosophy.

Time and music both impart a certain sense of continuity and succession on our imagination. Moreover, music always begins from a few first notes that activate our inventiveness and make us imagine how the melody will run further on. Similarly our conscious life begins from a few initial presupposition that we can develop and continue in different directions. In both cases the beginnings are of utmost importance. They promise more that life usually permits, introduce a sense of rhythm and order, open new horizons and probe the limits of our liberty. It is also interesting that both time and music are open to retrospective reinterpretations. The actual point of departure is to some extent arbitrary and/or conventionally imposed. The continuation is exposed to a risk of dissonance or a wasted opportunity. But it can also lead to unexpected or undeserved satisfaction. Finally the effect can mean many different things to different people.

The notion of public finance discipline refers to obeying the rules while managing public resources. It is mainly defined in the Act on Public Finance. For breaching these rules, strict discipline was set out in the Act on Responsibility for a Breach of Public Finance Discipline of 17 December 2004, amendments to which were passed on 19 August 2011 and introduced significant changes. The amended regulations entered into force on 11 February 2012. The article presents the reasons for the changes introduced to the regulations, as well as some of those changes that can positively influence the effectiveness of asserting responsibility, and the preventive and educational function of the regulations in the field. The article considers solutions that are important from the perspective of audit bodies which are obliged to notify of cases where public finance discipline could have been breached. The authors also describe proposals for potential further changes in these regulations.

The aim of the study was to check whether sense of coherence (SOC) can be altered in psychotherapy, and if so, whether the changes are stable and related to the baseline SOC level. Participants were 101 alcohol dependent patients (ALC) entering a 6-week alcohol treatment program at the Dependence Treatment Center, IPiN in Warsaw, and 54 neurotic patients (NEU) hospitalized for 10 weeks at the Psychiatric Clinic, Medical Academy in Lublin. They were examined thrice using Antonovsky's Orientation to Life (SOC-29) questionnaire: pre- and post-treatment, and by mail at a 6-month (NEU) or 12-month (ALC) follow-up. GLM with Repeated Measures with baseline weak (wSOC) or strong SOC (sSOC) as between-subject factor, and MDC analysis were used. A highly significant and stable enhancement of SOC was found after treatment in wSOC patients in both groups, ALC (in 58% of patients) and NEU (in 23%). In sSOC patients there was a ceiling effect (a mild, but significant and stable SOC increase) in the ALC group, while in NEU group the SOC level decreased (only 7% of patients indicated a stable real increase).

The examined period spanned over more than 150 years. In that time, the surrounding social reality changed in Silesia considerably. These changes also concern the situation of women in Silesia in achieving their social roles. These women have pursued their primary social roles of wives and mothers throughout. It was not easy due to the lack of jobs for women in the industrial environment. Another reason was the stereotypical perception of women's roles by both men and women themselves. The period of real socialism 'gave women the possibility to work', but it was only for financial reasons. Only the period of systemic transformation brought a mass influx of women working professionally not only for financial reasons but also to a large extent for creativeness and self-development.

Some recent approaches to narratology have presented the event as a basic constitutive element of narrativity. The event is considered either a primitive term or something that just happens or may happen, a change from one state to another. The underlying concepts are identity, state, and being. The article describes the event in general and the narrative event in particular from the perspective of the primacy of becoming, change, and flow, employing especially Whitehead's philosophy of process and also certain concepts developed by reception aesthetics. The narrative event is analyzed in the context of the following concatenation: the event - interconnected events - plot - fictional world - the real world and its potentiality. The aim is to understand a narrative event not as an interruption of the receptive flow, but as its change of course among levels of emergence.

PUTNAM’S VIEW ON REFERENCE CHANGE IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF KRIPKE’S

A usual objection put forward against the causal theory of reference is that it cannot explain the reference changes that terms may undergo. The main aim of this paper is to examine the position on reference change of one of the classic supporters of the causal theory, Hilary Putnam. It is usually claimed that Putnam’s causal theory of reference of natural kind terms is closely related to Kripke’s theory and can be conceived as a development of the same. The motivation of this paper is to allege that there is at least one important difference between both theories, consisting of their explanation of reference changes or at least in the way in which those theories make reference changes possible. After dealing with the problem of reference change within the framework of Kripke’s theory and reconstructing Kripke’s proposal to account for it, we will allege that there are components of Putnam’s theory which make reference changes possible, although they are different from those present in Kripke’s theory.

Living in a world of contstant changes makes adult education theory and practice more and more challenging. The author considers change as category and explains why it is essential to perceive change in this way in adult education. She discusses change in individual and social aspect, change in J. Mezirow’s theory, and changes in Polish andragogy over last few years. Then she points to change understanding in adult education policy, underlining non-official basis of changes made in adult education. Finally, she enumerates tasks for andragogues to make change more effective in adults’ life and education.
