Population ageing is one of the major challenges of modern Europe. In this context is worth to assessment the differences in the situation of women and men aged 50+ on the labour market. In the area of interest are primarily people aged 50-59/64, which are at this stage of life in which the situation on the labour market is particularly difficult. Paper was prepared mainly on the basis of the unpublished data developed within the project “Equalisation of Opportunities in the Labour Market for People Aged 50+”. The analysis was conducted with the application of basic descriptive statistics, as well as chi-squared test. Comparing income of women and men aged 50+, t-Student test and median test for independent samples, as well as one- and two-way analysis of variance were used.

The present paper examines the construal of the verb myśleć ‘think’ in Polish from the perspective of Cognitive Grammar and Functional Linguistics. Cognitive corpus-driven and quantitative methodology (e.g., Glynn and Fischer 2010) is applied to reveal the formal and semantic correlations obtaining between a set of unprefixed and prefixed verb forms of myśleć ‘think’, instantiating and profiling various aspects of the category in question. The quantitative configurational method (Geeraerts et al. 1994) reveals the “behavioral profiles” (Gries 2006) of the verb, based on the “usage features” (Glynn 2009) associated with it. The notion of subjective and objective construal, as developed by Langacker (1990, 2006), is further elaborated on by more functional dimensions of perspective-taking, as put forward by Nuyts (2001), Verhagen (2008) and Traugott (1995, 2010).

This article is a cross-cultural and cross-linguistic comparison of three interrelated emotional categories of shame, embarrassment and guilt in two different cultural settings of individualistic societies, as represented here by Britain and America, and a collectivist society, such as Poland. The conceptual field of SHAME is operationalized through its three near-synonymous adjectival exponents, "ashamed"/"zawstydzony", "embarrassed"/"zażenowany", and "guilty"/"winny". Drawing on relevant research in social and cognitive psychology as well as linguistics, the present study applies advanced quantitative corpus-based methodology to reconstruct the cultural and conceptual profiles of the three emotions.

Objective We propose a method for a reliable quantitative measure of subjectively perceived occupational stress applicable in any company to enhance occupational safety and psychosocial health, to enable precise prevention policies and intervention and to improve work quality and efficiency. Materials and Methods A suitable questionnaire was telephonically administered to a stratified sample of the whole Italian population of employees. Combined multivariate statistical methods, including principal component, cluster and discriminant analyses, were used to identify risk factors and to design a causal model for understanding work-related stress. Results The model explained the causal links of stress through employee perception of imbalance between job demands and resources for responding appropriately, by supplying a reliable U-shaped nonlinear stress index, expressed in terms of values of human systolic arterial pressure. Low, intermediate and high values indicated demotivation (or inefficiency), well-being and distress, respectively. Costs for stress-dependent productivity shortcomings were estimated to about 3.7% of national income from employment. Conclusions The method identified useful structured information able to supply a simple and precise interpretation of employees’ well-being and stress risk. Results could be compared with estimated national benchmarks to enable targeted intervention strategies to protect the health and safety of workers, and to reduce unproductive costs for firms.

The terms “digital divide”, “digital exclusion” refer to the gap between those who have regular access to digital and information technology and are able to effectively use it, and those who do not have such access. The development of ICT infrastructure, with which we are experiencing in recent years, also in the Lodz region, was resulted in smaller digital divide of the first degree (inability to use the appropriate hardware and software), the problem remains, however, the digital divide of the second degree, having their roots in psychological barriers. This applies particularly to the elderly, whose skills are low, and their motivation for skill development is often weak. This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the scale of the digital divide Lodz region residents aged 50 years and older. In the paper I used for this purpose the results of nationwide researches - Social Diagnosis and "Diagnosis of the current situation of women and men aged 50+ on the labour market in Poland", on the basis of which the synthetic index of Internet  versality were constructed. Analysis of these data are done using multivariate statistical analysis. In addition, in the paper the chosen activities undertaken in the fight against digital exclusion in the Lodz region.

Pojęcie wykluczenia cyfrowego odnosi się do różnic pomiędzy osobami, które mają regularny dostęp do technologii cyfrowych i informacyjnych i potrafią efektywnie z niego skorzystać, a tymi, którzy tego dostępu nie posiadają. Rozwój infrastruktury teleinformatycznej, jakiego doświadczamy w ostatnich latach, sprawia, że również w województwie łódzkim mniejsze jest wykluczenie cyfrowe I stopnia (brak możliwości korzystania z odpowiedniego sprzętu i oprogramowania), problemem pozostaje jednak wykluczenie II stopnia, mające swoje podłoże w barierach psychologicznych. Dotyczy to w szczególności osób starszych, których umiejętności informatyczne są niskie, a motywacja do ich rozwoju często słaba. W artykule dokonano ilościowej oceny skali wykluczenia cyfrowego mieszkańców województwa łódzkiego w wieku 50 i więcej lat. Wykorzystano w tym celu wyniki ogólnopolskich badań – Diagnozy Społecznej i „Diagnozy obecnej sytuacji kobiet i mężczyzn 50+ na rynku pracy w Polsce”, na podstawie których skonstruowano i poddano weryfikacji i wielowymiarowej analizie wskaźnik syntetyczny wszechstronności wykorzystania Internetu. Dodatkowo, ocenie poddano aktywności podejmowane w zakresie przeciwdziałania wykluczeniu cyfrowemu w województwie łódzkim.
