W zarządzaniu przedsiębiorstwem, niepewność należy do atrybutów podejmowanych decyzji menedżerskich. W konkurencyjnych środowiskach, gdzie sukces zależy od wysokiej jakości decyzji, podejmowanie błędnych kroków może doprowadzić do utraty rynku lub nawet przyczynić się do zakończenia działalności. Dlatego tak ważne jest, aby spośród wielu alternatywnych metod wybrać tę, która będzie skuteczna w rozwiązywaniu problemów w prosty i szybki sposób. Heurystyka oferuje rozwiązania, które udowodniają swoją przydatność w niepewnym otoczeniu biznesowym. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie i ocena metod heurystycznych oraz wykazanie ich specyfiki i możliwości zastosowania w naukach o zarządzaniu przedsiębiorstwami w warunkach niepewności. W artykule przybliżono aspekt teoretyczny heurystyk menedżerskich, położono również nacisk na przedstawienie praktycznych przykładów zastosowania heurystyk w przedsiębiorstwach w warunkach niepewności, także w czasie pandemii Covid-19, wyciągnięto wnioski i sformułowano praktyczne rekomendacje.

In managing enterprise, uncertainty belongs to the attributes of the decision making processes. In competitive environments, where success depends on high-quality decisions, taking the wrong steps can lead to loss of market share or even contribute to running out of business. That is why it is important to choose from the many alternatives those methods which will be most effective in solving problems in a simple and quick way, and heuristics offer such a solution, which has proved its usefulness in uncertain business environments. The aim of this study is to present and evaluate heuristic methods and show their specificity and applicability in management science for enterprises in times of uncertainty. In this article, the theoretical aspect of managerial heuristics is presented, and the emphasis is also placed on presenting practical examples of applying heuristics in companies with times of uncertainty, but also in these times of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study also offers conclusions and provides practi al recommendations.

The article aims to discuss the competencies of municipal and county consumer ombudsmen and how they were exercised by both before and under the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. The text presents the majority of the results of a survey conducted between 18 February and 4 March 2021, which involved submitting 142 requests for public information consisting of seven questions about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the activities of consumer ombudsmen and their offices. Based on the criterion of population, requests were sent via email to consumer ombudsmen operating in most Polish cities with over 22,000 inhabitants. Requests were standardized as far as possible to obtain an unadulterated response from the ombudsmen. The research material consists of responses to requests for public information. The article is divided into several parts. The first discusses the position, competencies of ombudsmen and the ways in which they perform the tasks entrusted to them, drawing on legal acts, legal doctrine and reports on their activities published by the OCCP on the basis of annual reports submitted by them. The second part presents the results of a study on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the ombudsmen’s activities, particularly focusing on the ways in which they perform their tasks and the changes implemented by them. Finally, based on the considerations made and the results of the research, conclusions are drawn regarding the activities undertaken by consumer ombudsmen in response to the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the frequency of choosing specific communication methods and channels used to deliver consumer advices, and the types of new activities undertaken as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated restrictions. An attempt is made to formulate de lege ferenda conclusions regarding the competence in question.

The paper presents the characteristics of the rail transport system, including passenger and freight transport during the Covid-19 pandemic. The entities responsible for the safety of the railway sector were presented, among which were the Railway Transport Office, the company PKP PLK S.A., and the Railroad Security Guard, which played the most critical role. The paper presents statistical data for railway accidents and casualties in 2018–2021. It was noted that the Covid-19 pandemic significantly reduced passenger and freight transport. 2021 was the European Year of Railways; it was also an exceptional, demanding, and significant year for changes taking place on the railways. Throughout this time, the Office of Rail Transport promoted rail as a safe, ecological, and comfortable means of transport. Based on statistics and empirical research, the main problems of the railway sector were discussed, and the research hypothesis was verified positively.

One cannot discuss enjoyment of fundamental human rights without a safe and healthy environment. The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on all authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in effect, the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be obeyed at all times and in all situations even though there are exceptions to the rights. It has been observed that during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Nigeria, the provisions of the Constitution were suspended with respect to the fundamental human rights of Nigerians which affected the citizens in diverse ways as shall be discussed in this paper. The paper examined the effects of the suspension of these rights on Nigerians during Covid-19 pandemic lockdown imposed by the government while revealing the non-preparedness of Nigeria in emergency situations and proffers adequate recommendations.

In this index study, the relationships between Stoxx Europe 600 and sector indices are analyzed. This research uses DCoVar and MES as analytical tools developed as a measure of systemic risk and applied to financial institutions, to sectoral subindexes. For the sake of systemic risk assessment we calculate the dynamic correlation model with bivariate t copula distribution. We focus on the impact of sectors on the market. Despite the similarity between the time series plots of both measures, with maximum values on similar days, the compatibility of daily rankings, measured as a percentage of concordant pairs, is equal to about 50%. The rankings of the most and least risky sectors are different and depend on the choice of measure, but in the case of both we observe poor stability. When sectors are ranked in terms of the highest and lowest mean values at specific intervals (designated by the structural break estimation method, which surpisingly detects very similar dates of structural changes) we draw the same conclusions. For both measures we note huge percentage changes in mean values of risk, especially in the period from February 24, 2020 till August 20, 2020 with respect to the previous period. The percentage changes for both intervals indicate the same most risky sectors, but the indications of both measures are not consistent.

The article is dedicated to reflecting the links between the climate crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the context of Czech social media, specifically on several blogging platforms. The processes leading to the climate and pandemic crises are highly intertwined, based in the way humans interact with the environment on a global scale. However, the circumstances and consequences of both crises, as well as the ways they are dealt with, also share common features. The authors identify such contexts as reflected on blogging platforms by undertaking a qualitative analysis of texts from an interpretative phenomenological perspective. Climate scepticism is connected to pandemic scepticism, on the one hand, and to acceptance of the pandemic as a real threat, on the other hand. Conversely, acceptance of the climate crisis can be associated with both acceptance of the pandemic and pandemic scepticism.

The Covid-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on health systems, on many economic sectors and on the labour market. This critical situation is also accompanied by social destabilisation, which has exacerbated inequalities and severely affected the most disadvantaged population groups, such as migrant workers. This study provides insights into the consequences of the first wave and the lockdown period in Spring 2020 of the Covid-19 pandemic on Romanians living in Italy, using data collected by the International Association Italy-Romania ‘Cuore Romeno’, within a project financed by the Romanian Department for Diaspora and developed to support actions while strengthening the link with Romanian institutions during the pandemic. Findings show that, during the lockdown, two opposite situations occurred among Romanians. Workers in the ‘key sector’ become indispensable and experienced only small changes, while others lost their job or experienced a worsening of working conditions, with lower wages or an increase in working hours. Most workers chose to stay in Italy, relying on their savings or the support of the Italian government. Job losses, not having new employment, and having limited savings all influenced the decision of a smaller group to return to Romania. In conclusion, the analysis suggests that measures adopted should take into consideration that the Covid-19 pandemic might disproportionally hit population groups such as migrants, women, young people and temporary and unprotected workers, particularly those employed in trade, hospitality and agriculture.

The first twenty years of the 21st century have been marked by intense internalization and digitization, which have significantly influenced the communication processes throughout society and work in many professions. Communication has accelerated significantly, the amount of information we need to perceive, select and process has increased several times, and its credibility has become questionable. These and other technological changes, as well as other factors associated with political or social processes, have also marked the culture of society. Journalists are required to have much more skills and an immediate ability to deal dynamically and flexibly with the demands of these times. The set processes of media production and stereotypes of its perception were significantly changed by another relevant milestone of the 21st century, the Covid-19 pandemic. It closed people in their households, prevented direct contacts, restricted work and changed communication processes. It also significantly marked the work of television creators, their media outlets, as well as the entire television culture. In this paper, the authors analyse the situation that the creators of the main news programs had to deal with during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, formulate what changes in their work have occurred due to the pandemic, how the media content has changed and, finally, define how it all has affected the methods of media creation and the media product that we see on TV screens today.

This article explores the philosophical and psychoanalytic trajectories of conceptualizing the Covid-19 pandemic as ‘collective trauma’, and considers what would be the risks, but also productive possibilities, of such a theoretical move. the context of this inquiry is the so-called ‘shadow pandemic’ – the drastic increase in domestic violence globally, which accompanied introduction of lockdowns as a measure of containing the impact of Covid-19 on public health infrastructures. For the women who were victims of violence during the lockdowns, the discourse of ‘sheltering’, ‘isolation’ and ‘staying home’ has carried antithetical meanings to the o6cially sanctioned ones – those were meanings of threat, danger, harm, and death. Drawing on the work of two feminist psychoanalytic thinkers, Julia Kristeva and Jacqueline Rose, and on installations by bio-artists Anna Dumitriu and Flo Kasearu, I argue against notions of the pandemic as an external traumatic event that disrupted societies and communities worldwide. Rather, the ‘shadow pandemic’ suggest that there is a more complex, even intimate, relation between the pandemic, violence, and gendered productions of sociality.

Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 has put the US worldwide domination in question. China have started to spread propaganda concerning the alleged superiority of their authoritarian system over western liberal democracies. Hence, the “Middle Kingdom” have been usurping the right to politically dominate the global political spectrum. Nevertheless, China is a weaker and more fragile country, than it has been suggested by Chinese authorities. At the same time, the American government attempts to hide the mistakes they have mad while tackling the pandemic from the public eye. Meanwhile, the D.C. administration runs a protectionist politics and is engaged in a trade war with China, unaware of the fact that both parties will be the victims of this feud

The purpose of the article/hypothesis: The purpose of the article is to determine whether, taking into account the current legal framework determining the state role in the economy, it is advisable to support large enterprises in relation to preventing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis will be conducted based on one of the types of guarantees - PLG FGP guarantee line. Methodology: In order to achieve the assumed goals, the analysis was based on non-reactive research, consisting in the assessment of available information. It included studies of normative acts, official statistical data and industry reports and analyses. Two basic research methods were used, namely legal dogmatic and comparative analyses. Results of the research: Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that taking into account the characteristics of economic difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e. a decrease in demand for goods and services, reduced mobility of the population, limited supply caused by disruption of supply chains and absence of employees at the workplace), it is justified to support sector of large enterprises, because these problems concern both the SME sector and large enterprises to a similar extent. However, it is reasonable to direct the aid because financing was also used by enterprises that were not affected by the crisis.

The topic of analysis are socio-cultural imaginaries of the pandemic. The assumption is that the pandemic may be characterized by reference to the imaginaries and system of knowledge related to the disease as well as is located in modern and postmodern imaginaries of risk, post-Anthropocentrism and trajectory of socio-cultural trauma creation process. The socio-cultural exemplifications of the presented thesis are transmitted by the media representations of the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper is composed of three main parts. The first one analyses the notions of an imaginary and socio-cultural trauma representation, the second part presents in the light of sociological and humanistic theories some selected exemplifications of pandemic representations and the third part is a summary.

Aim. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges at all levels of education. Higher education institutions across the globe had to move traditional campus-based learning online as it was the only available option to continue academic activities. Students’ perceptions of online learning during the Covid-19 crisis have been investigated in many fields of study, however, little known research has been conducted in the field of Translation studies. To fill in the gap, small-scale research was carried out at a University in Lithuania. It aimed to examine undergraduate translation students’ perceptions of learning online during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods. To carry out the research, qualitative methodology was used. The data was drawn from 23 translation students’ essays and analysed using inductive content analysis. Results. The study resulted in the identification and description of two major categories and five subcategories that revealed the students’ experience of online learning during the pandemic and their perceptions of its positive and negative impacts. Conclusion. The results demonstrate that all study participants perceived online learning both as a positive and negative experience with the number of the student-reported negative impacts being slightly bigger than that of the positive ones. The findings of this research are important; yet they do not allow for wide scale generalisations as the study was conducted on a small sample. Originality. The present study contributes to the research in the field by providing new insights into the impacts of online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic as seen from the students’ perspective.

Aktywność państwa w okresie kryzysu z reguły ukazuje obszary wrażliwe, słabsze lub od dawna niezreformowane, reprezentujące „słabości” danej gospodarki. Celem artykułu jest porównanie obszarów wymagających szczególnej pomocy publicznej w Polsce i Czechach w kontekście wpływu pandemii Covid-19, z uwzględnieniem ich historycznego rozwoju. Wybór państw jest celowym zabiegiem metodologicznym ze względu na to, że oba reprezentują jeden z kluczowych regionów Europy. Wskazane państwa są członkami UE, co warunkuje podejście Czech i Polski w zakresie polityki gospodarczej w tym handlowej, społecznej, bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego, energetycznej, ochrony zdrowia (z uwzględnieniem kompetencji państw członkowskich w relacji do UE w tym zakresie). Zwrócono uwagę na fakt, że obydwa państwa nie przystąpiły do strefy euro. Uwzględniono koncepcje podatkowe w ramach finansów publicznych obydwu państw. Ponadto państwa te współcześnie stanęły przed podobnymi wyzwaniami ekologicznymi np. Green Deal, co wpływa na konieczne przemiany gospodarcze. Jako metodę badawczą wykorzystano analizę komparatystyczną uwzględniając nie tylko różnice, ale i podobieństwa pomiędzy analizowanymi państwami. Przed obydwoma państwami stoją wyzwania cywilizacyjne i rozwojowe, np. zmiany cyfrowe, które będą determinowały efektywność pozostałych polityk publicznych.

The activity of the state during the crisis, as a rule, shows vulnerable areas, ones that are weaker or for a long time unreformed, representing the ‘weaknesses’ of a given economy. The aim of this paper is to compare areas requiring particular state aid in Poland and the Czech Republic in the context of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, taking into account their historical development. The choice of the countries is the deliberate methodological procedure due to the fact that both represent one of the key regions in Europe. The indicated countries are EU members, which determines the approach of the Czech Republic and Poland in the field of economic policy, including trade, social policy, food security, energy, and health protection (taking into account the competences of the member states in relation to the EU in this area). It was pointed out that both countries did not join the euro area. Tax concepts in the public finance of both countries were taken into account. Moreover, these countries are faced with similar ecological challenges such as the Green Deal which influences the necessary economic changes. Comparative analysis was used as a research method, taking into account not only the differences and similarities between the countries analysed. Both countries face civilization and development challenges, for example, digital changes, which determine the effectiveness of other public policies.

Media communication at all levels is influenced by both socio-political, economic and technological factors. Local press is subject to them in the same way as other media, but due to their specificity (incl. being limited to small target group and at the same time more direct impact on recipients), it often must deal with additional factors that determine its existence. By analyzing selected examples of local publishing houses (case studies), and data from Polish Reading Research and organizations associating local publishers (desk research), the author tries to identify the most important changes taking place in media communication at the local level. Research confirms that the changes mainly affect channels of media communication. Printed press attracts less and less attention of recipients. Its past functions are taken over by the Internet. Until recently, the Internet was an addition to the traditional methods of communication on the local media market. Now it takes the audience from the press, radio and television and forces local broadcasters to look for a place for themselves in it.

Na komunikację medialną na każdym poziomie wpływają zarówno czynniki społeczno-polityczne, ekonomiczne, jak i technologiczne. Prasa lokalna podlega im tak samo jak inne media, ale ze względu na swoją specyfikę, m.in. ograniczone do małych zbiorowości i bardziej bezpośrednie oddziaływanie na odbiorców, często musi się mierzyć z dodatkowymi czynnikami warunkującymi jej istnienie. Analizując celowo wybrane przykłady wydawnictw lokalnych (case study) oraz dane Polskich Badań Czytelnictwa i organizacji zrzeszających wydawców lokalnych (desk research), autorka podjęła próbę wskazania najważniejszych zmian zachodzących w ostatnim czasie w komunikacji medialnej na poziomie lokalnym. Badania potwierdziły, że zmiany dotyczą przede wszystkim jej kanałów. Prasa drukowana wzbudza coraz mniejsze zainteresowanie odbiorców. Jej dotychczasowe funkcje przejmuje Internet. Na rynku mediów lokalnych do niedawna był dodatkiem uzupełniającym tradycyjne sposoby komunikowania. Teraz zabiera odbiorców prasie, radiu, telewizji i zmusza lokalnych nadawców do szukania w nim miejsca dla siebie.
