Background: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for children and adolescents (ICF CY) has been proposed as a possible framework for evaluating assessment and rehabilitation practice in children with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs).Aim: The aim of this case report is to describe an evaluative and diagnostic process based on the ICF CY framework for a SpLD patient to show its applicability to this kind of developmental problem.Method: A 10-year-old boy with difficulties in reading and writing was assessed both traditionally administering a set of cognitive and language test batteries and, innovatively, with the ICF CY checklist aimed to estimate the functioning profile of the child.Results: The reasons for implementing the recent ICF CY as a framework to assess SpLD in children and to set the goals of interventions were supported. Whereas traditional assessment gives a validated parameter to evaluate the cognitive level and specific difficulties in reading and writing, ICF CY enhances the traditional diagnosis embracing both impairment and social factors to consider when selecting appropriate goals to bring about change in the lives and in the school experiences of children with SpLD, and it gives important cues to teachers, rehabilitators and therapists.Conclusion: ICF CY gives caregivers the opportunities to work together not only to provide direct intervention with the child, but also to work in partnership with the child's family, friends, school and society.

The institution of intervention was constructed in the Act on the Exercise of the Exercise of a Mandate of a Deputy or Senator in a relatively inaccurate way. The author of the opinion states that in the analyzed situation a Deputy is not entitled to participate in the inspection carried out by the County’s Inspectorate of Construction Supervision. The only legal requirements concerning the intervention concern informing the Deputy about the state of consideration the case, being the subject of the intervention, and defining the date of “the final consideration of the case”.

The author of this opinion analyzes the possibility of recognition as Deputy’s intervention his/her application with a letter to the First President of the Supreme Court for “immediate intervention” in a particular case previously examined by the Supreme Court. In the opinion of the recipient, that document should be considered as a violation of independence of the judiciary. The author of the opinion comes to the conclusion that this letter goes beyond the regulation of the so-called Deputy’s intervention, due to the fact that judicial authorities are not those bodies to which – under this legal institution – Deputies may address their concerns. The said letter may also be viewed on the basis of the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure regarding the complaint. Analyzing the document in the context of the provisions of the Constitution, the author claims that the character of the letter may be the sign of actions taken to exert influence the decision-making process, which would be beyond the scope of the technical and administrative services (the so-called court administration).

In this article we show that significant differences between the foreign currency mortgage agreements in Hungary and Poland led to significant differences in monthly mortgage payments after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) erupted. Hungarian banks were able to add a variable markup to the LIBOR3M that was connected to bank risk on top of the usual fixed markup. We compare the monthly mortgage payments and LTV levels of people who took out a CHF mortgage with those who obtained a local currency mortgage during the mortgage boom years of 2006–2008. We find that in the initial years of the mortgage CHF mortgages were cheaper than local currency mortgages, which allowed more people to buy housing. However, the GFC led to a deterioration of the exchange rate, and monthly payments and LTV levels (consequently?) increased. We analyse the mortgage costs and LTV levels of the 2006-2008 foreign currency (FX) mortgage vintages in Hungary and Poland between 2006 and 2020 and compare them to local currency mortgages. We also simulate the effects of changing housing prices and wages on mortgages in the cities of Budapest and Warsaw.

Despite the evidence that self-forgiveness is more strongly associated with physical health and well-being compared to interpersonal forgiveness, and that the results of self-blaming may be extreme, self-forgiveness has received considerately less attention in theory and research, compared to interpersonal forgiveness. The aim of this study is a critical overview of the current theoretical and empirical studies in this area. The paper focuses on a definition of selfforgiveness with an emphasis of its important aspects such as remorse, responsibility taking, and conciliatory behaviour. The study defines similarities and differences of self-forgiveness and interpersonal forgiveness. It is stressed that self-forgiveness is a process which takes time and the steps of self-forgiveness are described. The intervention studies of self-forgiveness are discussed, with an emphasis on their results and methodological limitations. Finally, a critical attitude toward self-forgiveness and argumentation against these critical views are presented. Future direction of research in self-forgiveness is outlined.

Napriek tomu, že odpustenie sebe sa ukazuje ako významnejšie súvisiace s fyzickým zdravím jednotlivca, ako aj celkovým well-beingom v porovnaní s odpustením druhému, a dôsledky neodpustenia sebe môžu byť extrémne, odpusteniu sebe je venovaná neporovnateľne menšia teoretická a výskumná pozornosť oproti interpersonálnemu odpustenia. Cieľom štúdie je kritický prehľad súčasných teoretických a empirických štúdií v tejto oblasti. Štúdia sa zameriava na vymedzenie odpustenia sebe, s ohľadom na jeho hlavné aspekty ako je ľútosť za vykonaný čin, prijatie zodpovednosti a zmena správania do budúcnosti. Štúdia definuje podobnosti a rozdiely odpustenia sebe s interpersonálnym odpustením. Je zdôraznené, že odpustenie sebe je proces vyžadujúci čas a popísané sú jednotlivé kroky procesu odpustenia. Diskutované sú intervenčné štúdie odpustenia sebe, so zameraním na ich výsledky a metodologické nedostatky. V závere je predstavený kritický postoj voči odpusteniu sebe a argumentácia proti jednotlivým kritickým názorom. Načrtnutý je ďalší smer výskumu v oblasti odpustenia sebe.

Aim. The main aim of the research was to verify the reading comprehension intervention program for the German language that builds on complex models of foreign language text comprehension while stimulating the cognitive, affective and social levels of reading. Methods. The respondents of the research were studying English language in their 3rd year in secondary schools in Slovakia. The data were collected with the didactic reading comprehension test for the German language (Hockicková et al., 2020). The research was conducted through a pre-test before the intervention program and a post-test after the intervention. The basic characteristics of the examined variables were described using descriptive statistics. A paired t-test was used to detect differences in reading comprehension before and after the intervention. Results. The results of the research confirmed an increase in German texts comprehension in each experimental group. A statistically significant difference in reading comprehension performance was not confirmed in the control groups without completing the intervention program. Conclusion. The reading comprehension intervention program for the German language at A2 level appears to be effective in the direction of increasing performance in reading comprehension of German texts. The intervention in German text comprehension is manifested in two simultaneous work practices, namely in the development of predictors and in working with different types of texts as well as different reading strategies.

The aim of the study was to map teachers’ preferred approaches to handling bullying among students. The scaled Handling Bullying Questionnaire (Bauman et al., 2008) was used. The structure of the research tool was determined using exploratory factor analysis indicating the existence of 5 dimensions. The good fit of the model to the actual data was verified using confirmatory factor analysis returning very good values of the good fit indices (CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR, GFI). 696 teachers of the elementary school second level participated in the research. Their mean age was 46.53 years (SD = 9.34) and the mean length of their experience was 21.10 years (SD = 10.44). Male teachers scored statistically significantly higher on the dimension „Disciplining the bully“; teachers who had obtained their qualification through a supplementary pedagogical study scored statistically significantly lower on the dimension „Ignoring the incident“ and higher on the dimensions „Enlisting other adults“ and „Disciplining the bully“; class teachers scored statistically significantly higher on the dimension „Working with the bully“; teachers having received anti-bullying training within their continuing education scored statistically significantly higher on the dimensions „Working with the bully“ and „Enlisting other adults“; teachers with functions aimed at sorting out students’ problem behaviour scored the lowest on the dimension „Ignoring the incident“. Neglectful and weak effects were identified of the differences in resulting values. Also, a weak direct dependence appeared between working with the bully as the preferred approach and the length of teachers’ experience.

Research shows that teachers’ perceptions of peer bullying (PB) are an important predictor of their intervention. Therefore, the aims of the study were to find out i) how serious pre-service teachers and teachers find different types of PB, ii) how empathic to the victims and willing to intervene they are, iii) what predicts interventions in both groups and iv) what forms of intervention pre-service teachers and teachers would use regarding victims and perpetrators. Results suggest that teachers perceive all types of PB as more severe than pre-service teachers and are more willing to intervene earlier, but pre-service teachers show more empathy for the victims. The strongest predictor of intervention in both groups is beliefs about the severity of bullying, but their forms of intervention differ significantly. Implications of the study findings are also discussed.

This study aims to explore and analyse qualitative research on refugee and asylum-seeker interventions for social inclusion that engages a creative, arts-based community approach. Method. The article describes a meta-study towards discovering meta-theory, meta-methods, and meta-findings across articles on the subject. For this purpose, a broad database search was conducted, which resulted in a total of 7 articles after filtering according to the previously defined exclusion criteria. These articles were analysed by two independent researchers and later reviewed by two independent evaluators. Results and conclusion. There was an overarching lack of definitions and distinction of and for the terms refugee, migrant and asylum-seeker. A similar problem could also be found regarding social inclusion and integration which were, at times, used interchangeably. Additionally, the majority of the studies opted for an ethnographic approach despite choosing different methods within the said approach. Concerning the meta findings, three main themes emerged across research: space of expression and confidence; transformation process to agency and citizenship; and exchange and dialogue between the host community and arrivals. These themes were discussed and reflected upon, and limitations were pointed out. Originality. Having identified the lack of refugee and asylum-seeker voices within migration studies, this article sets out to counteract this issue by having included only those articles that provided space for refugee and asylum-seeking individuals to speak up, thereby authentically understanding arts-based social inclusion interventions from a new and neglected angle.

The aim of the article is to point out doubts about the model assumptions and the functioning of the right to parliamentary intervention. As part of the solutions adopted in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (including the requirement to represent the nation under a free mandate and the principle of the separation of powers) any actions taken by representatives of power in the individual and not public interest, allowing interference (or informal pressure) in the normatively defined mechanisms or procedures of decision-making (by public authorities, and even more so in the field of business), can be seen as a threat to the standards of a democratic rule of law. The authors outlining potential threats postulate changes leading to the limitation or abolition of the institution of parliamentary intervention.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie wątpliwości dotyczących założeń modelowych i funkcjonowania prawa do interwencji poselskiej. W ramach przyjętych w Konstytucji RP rozwiązań (obejmujących m.in. wymóg reprezentacji narodu w ramach mandatu wolnego oraz zasadę podziału władzy) wszelkie działania podejmowane przez przedstawicieli władzy w interesie indywidualnym a nie publicznym, pozwalające na ingerencję (czy nieformalne naciski) w normatywnie zdefiniowane mechanizmy lub procedury podejmowania decyzji (przez ograny władz publicznych, a tym bardziej w sferze biznesu), mogą być postrzegane jako zagrożenie dla standardów demokratycznego państwa prawa. Autorzy zarysowując potencjalne zagrożenia postulują zmiany prowadzące do ograniczenia lub zniesienia instytucji interwencji poselskiej.

This paper explores the possibilities created by modern technologies to prevent bullying and antisocial behaviors. The live of modern generations is inseparable from the mass media and advanced ICT. In this context, anti-social and pro-social behavior of young people was shown and defined. Then, a review was made how new technologies can be used in (cyber)bullying prevention and interventions strategies. Technology-based solutions were divided into two groups: (1) preventative solutions and therefore applicable before bullying occurs and (2) reactive solutions, which are aimed at helping victim, bystanders and others to deal with bullying. Some of presented activities are an extension of the activities already known in the field of peer violence prevention from the face to face context to the online environment. The examples of technology-based solutions presented in the text have a different degree of complexity. In some cases, they boil down to one simple operation, in another they mean long-term conduct. Based on the information presented in this article, the conclusion is that new technologies may be used in raising awareness about bullying phenomenon, for developing socio-emotional skills and some bullying preventative and reactive solutions. However, these strategies need to be combined with others in a way to build a thoughtful and comprehensive program, as well as more research is needed in this area to verify their real effects

For a couple of decades telephone crisis services called hotlines or helplines have been an important instrument in the process of providing help and assistance to people in distress. The idea of providing psychological help and support over the telephone was born of sincere kindness and sympathy of human heart but with time it evolved towards a standardized scientific discipline based on rules and procedures. The paper outlines the history of telephone crisis services and points to their most important functions in contemporary, globalized world.
