The growing importance of the Internet in everyday life, the use of multiple data sources and the necessity of rapid information processing more and more often lead social scientists to attempt to describe and study the phenomenon of media multitasking [Castells, 2007; Rosa, 2013; Ophir, Nass, Wagner, 2009], which constantly generates questions about its cognitive and social consequences as well as the research tools that will allow us to define it. The objective of the article is to review the existing research findings in media multitasking area with a special focus on individual and cross-cultural differences. The presented analysis, including the analysis of the author’s own empirical research conducted using a media multitasking questionnaire, shows significant differences in the simultaneous use of several media between men and women. Age and country of residence also turn out to be important variables. The differences also depend on the type of media processed in a given time.

Wind energy experienced an exponential development in the past two decades, forming a main source of energy today, but also a frequently encountered issue of debate due to the increased proximity of wind turbines to citizens’ residence, especially in the case of the Western part of the European Union. Although the benefits of renewable sources of energy represent a compulsory effort towards ensuring sustainable energy strategies for the future, due to the increased pressure of balancing climate change, limitation of traditional energy resources and economic competition, the expansion of wind parks has caused strong reactions of local communities in many regions leading to the reorganization of public exposure strategies of many companies in the field. This research intends to offer a sample of public perceptions of wind turbines depending on several influence factors, based on the answers of 64 Dutch citizens and 40 Romanian respondents. Through the implementation of the Delphi method based on questionnaires and interviews, an overview of perceptions towards placement of wind turbines in the two analyzed countries has been offered, providing significant answers to the influence factors of public reactions for or against wind turbines. The main results of the research revealed the importance of financial benefits in increasing public acceptance of wind farms, as well as several subjective factors, such as the visual impact of wind turbines and onshore or offshore placement, that contribute to a positive or negative behavior of citizens towards it.

This study aims to find higher education students’ perceptions about environmental issues and how the perceptions are related to perceptions of media coverage. This study investigates higher education students’ perceptions of the seriousness of environmental issues and their relation to perceptions of media coverage. Higher education students perceived a global problem, lack of clean water, as most serious environmental problem. Media has had an effect on students’ perceptions on environmental issues: when students perceived the problem as serious they also perceived the information in media concerning it appropriate. Students perceived that the media underestimate and obscure some environmental problems such as biological diversity and global warming. It was concluded that higher education educators need more knowledge of students’, future decision makers’ concerns and perceptions about environmental issues to develop more effective teaching practices in higher education. Through education environmental issues literacy, which is a precursor for engaged protection of the environment, can be fostered. This study offers some insights into higher education students’ perceptions of the media’s role in environmental issues.

Purpose: To assess nurses’ perceptions about the transformational leadership applied in psychiatric hospitals and to investigate factors that influence these perceptions. Materials and methods: A descriptive study was conducted in a psychiatric hospital and a psychiatric ward of a general hospital located in a city of Cyprus. A convenience sample of 95 nurses was used, while the Greek version of the « Kuopio University Hospital Transformational Leadership Scale (KUHTLS) questionnaire was used as an instrument. Results: Appreciation, decision making fairness, and individuality were the variables with the highest mean values. Women had significantly higher scores in appreciation, justice, and individuality compared to men. Nurses who were >45 years old had a significantly higher score compared to those who were 31-45 and <30 years old in the subscales decision making (p=0.005), appreciation (p=0.043), development (p=0.020), work efficiency and outcomes (p=0.030). Head and senior nurses had significantly higher scores regarding subscales decision making (p=0.003), appreciation (p=0.025), development (p=0.010), work efficiency and outcomes (p=0.004). Nurses with > 7 years of work experience, had significantly higher scores in fairness subscale compared with the nurses who had less than seven years of work experience (p=0.034). Conclusions: Nurses working in those psychiatric hospitals and ward had positive perceptions about transformational nursing leadership. Hospital administrators should facilitate training programs for nurse managers in leadership styles and their effects on job satisfaction.

This paper investigates socio-economic and perceptual factors affecting the likelihood of being a total early-stage entrepreneur in selected EU countries (Denmark, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Latvia) during 2005-2012. The data used for our empirical research comes from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Our findings show that the probability to become a total early-stage entrepreneur increases for males and younger individuals with a bachelor's degree or secondary education and who are working part time or full time. Furthermore, these entrepreneurs are characterised by a lower fear of failure and higher entrepreneurial skills and perception of opportunity. Policy makers should improve the institutional framework that involves measures aimed at empowering potential entrepreneurs in finding new market opportunities. Territorial cooperation in a macro-regional perspective may be a facilitator aimed at entrepreneurial development.

The various facets and networks of social media have had significantly phenomenal influence on the individual life and on the societal, economic, and political status of their users. The linguistic discourse of interlocutors on social media has also been influenced. The current study aims at measuring how the English language learning process of non-native Bahrainis has been affected by the use of social media. To explore such effects, a quantitative methodological measure was used in the form of an online questionnaire administered to a random sample of L2 Bahrainis. Responses from 330 respondents from different age groups and gender types were analysed using measures of central tendency and other statistical measures such as t-tests and ANOVA using SPSS. Findings have revealed that the utilization of social media has been perceived to have positively impacted interlocutors’ lexical variation, writing style, reading skills, and communication skills. These findings were subjective to variables related to gender, age, and the multimodality of particular social media facets. Accordingly, some significant implications and recommendations are drawn, the most important of which is the provision of mechanisms to ensure the effective utilisation and employment of social media in the pedagogical practices in L2 contexts.

Coastal towns rely heavily on the quality and expanse of their beaches to attract tourists. Climate is an important tourism determinant, controlling the length and timing of peak arrivals. South African tourism is particularly reliant on these factors. Perceptions of tourists and tourist accommodation establishment regarding climate change threats to tourism are explored for the towns of St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis. Tourism accommodation establishments were predominantly concerned with day-to-day changes in weather, investing in small-scale infrastructural changes to improve the comfort of their guests. By contrast, tourists demonstrated greater concern for the risk of flooding, sea-level rise and the degeneration of the beaches. This reflects concerning disjunctures between perceptions of tourists and accommodation establishments regarding climate change threats. This may portray to tourists insufficient investment in adaptation at accommodation establishments, resulting in decreased tourist visitations in the short-term in favour of destinations perceived as better prepared.

Portfolio assessment has been implemented in many core disciplines for quality assurance and consistent assessment of learner outcomes. For English language learning, for which varying proficiency levels of learners exist, portfolios are suggested to assess individual learners’ progress. The current study was carried out in an online English language course at a higher education institution in Turkey. After the portfolio implementation, the researcher collected learners’ perceptions regarding it as an assessment tool through open ended questions. The findings indicated that learners had very positive feelings towards portfolio use in the course because it helped them to see how they were using the target language. They were able to reflect on what they learned, acquired ownership of their work, and took responsibility of their learning process with enthusiasm and enhanced motivation towards the online English language course.

This paper seeks to determine whether the EU has accomplished its objectives concerning the visibility of EU external action, which the Lisbon Treaty sought to achieve. The role of Catherine Ashton as the EU’s High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, together with the newly formed European External Action Service (EEAS) which supports her work, aimed to “effectively project European values and interests worldwide” (Šefčovič, n.d.) and to make Europe “an actor on the global stage” (Europa, n.d.). Despite the sui generis nature of the internal functioning of the EU, there is a strong case in academic literature that the EU can be studied as an international actor like any other state actor. Southeast Asia, represented in this article by Singapore and Thailand, is a key region to test whether the post-Lisbon EU has reached the status of a key actor on the global stage. The findings from media research carried out in 2006 and 2011 (i. e. before and after the Lisbon Treaty) suggest that the EU has failed to achieve its stated aims.

Drawing on thirty face-to-face interviews with Indian business, civil society, media and political elites during the period from September 2011 to April 2012, this article seeks to examine the perceptions of Indian elites of the European Union as a normative power. It discusses the evolution of the concept of normative power and the evolution of the EU’s normative identity. It clearly outlines the expansion of the varied roles played by the EU in the course of assuming responsibilities in the capacity of civilian, ethical and normative power of Europe both within its borders and abroad. The article seeks to highlight the diverse external perceptions about the normative power of EU by focusing upon the elite opinion from India. The article captures the changing mood of the elites about the effectiveness of the normative power of the EU with the intensification of the eurozone crisis. It argues that the normative disconnect in worldviews, mindsets and practical agendas between India and the European Union has made it difficult to transform shared values into coordinated policies.

The paper proposes a theoretical model to assess the factors affecting students’ satisfaction of their university and their future behavioral intentions. The proposed model was validated by empirical or case research, applied at three Colombian universities (public and private) in Cartagena. A 19-item questionnaire was given to a random sample of 400 students, and was solved by the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results showed that the students’ perceptions of the universities analyzed affected their satisfaction level and this, in turn, affected their future intentions. Perceived value pricing did not have a significant effect on satisfaction. The model was validated using the most common fit indices. The results presented a statistically valid model, whose main result is the identification of a significant causal effect among the students’ perceptions, satisfaction and future behavioral intentions in the universities analyzed. There was not a significant difference in results between the public and private universities.

This paper aims to examine the challenges of and perceptions about promoting students’ learning, communication, and interaction via the Wiki tool in the blackboard platform. Wiki intends to sustain and advance students’ professional and personal skills, the former ones including reading, writing, research, information, critical thinking, decision making, technology, digital oral presentation, drawing (i.e. concept maps), teamwork, and languages, and the latter ones including motivation, leadership, negotiation, communication, problem solving, time management, reflection, self-management, and self-appraisal. Additionally, integrating Wiki in teaching and learning will improve students’ work performance, productivity, and self-confidence, as these skills are needed for not only the current study, but also the workplace in the future. Additionally, using this tool in teaching and learning, especially in the higher education, can bring some challenges to the lecturer and students, particularly in the presentation and marking. This paper will discuss the Wiki implementation in the postgraduate unit at an Australian university. The study results confirmed that using Wiki in the postgraduate unit at an Australian university enhanced students’ personal and professional skills; in addition, students learned and absorbed the new concepts and cutting-edge-knowledge of the ITS65 unit, i.e. sustainability and Green IT.

The assessment of antecedents of customer satisfaction has become very important for the success of online retailing services. This paper reports the results of a study that investigated the antecedent role of customers’ perceptions vis-a-vis satisfaction with online retailing services. While the study model conceptualizes customers’ perceptions as a composite variable made up of three dimensions (perceived attributes, perceived risk and perceived value) prescribed by four established information systems (IS) and consumer behaviour frameworks, namely the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Perceived Risk Theory (PRT), Theory of Consumption Values (TCV) and Expectations-Artifact Model of Satisfaction (EAMS), it does not specify how the different perceptual factors infl uence online satisfaction; instead it aggregates all three dimensions into a higher-order construct called “customers’ perceptions” and tries to understand the nature of relationship between the composite independent variable and the dependent variable. It employed a descriptive, correlational survey design whereby the response data collected from 240 registered users of 6 online retailers was analyzed using both descriptive as well as inferential statistics. The linear regression analyses indicate that the model provides a statistically signifi cant explanation of the variation in consumers’ online retailing satisfaction. The study also found empirical support for customers’ perceptions as an antecedent of satisfaction with online retailing services.

Problem and Aim. Apart from delineating the borderline between the following terms; “martial art”, “budo”, “combat sport” and “fighting art”, this paper covers the main motives and factors for practicing karate in different countries. It attempts to distinguish the main trends based on the outputs of various sociological theories and studies. Method. This study relies strongly on reflections that are available in the literature concerning the topic. Results and Conclusions. Karate is considered a martial art, budo, combat sport and fighting art. It can sometimes even be a spectacle. Martial arts discipline the mind by disciplining the body. Budo is based on the warrior’s philosophy of life and is closely linked to the spiritual dimensions of the practice. Combat sports aim for continuous improvement of performance. The concept of budo is included in martial arts. Martial arts and combat sports have two completely divergent goals. “Fighting arts” is an umbrella term encompassing martial arts and combat sports. Karate is perceived differently depending on practitioners’ cultural background. The main reasons for practicing karate fall into three main categories: pragmatic motives concerning health and sport; philosophical factors which are about education, and thirdly, utilitarian motives which are linked to self defense.

Problem i cel. Poza wyznaczeniem granicy między pojęciami: „sztuka walki”, „budo”, „sport walki” i „sztuka bojowa”, autor artykułu koncentruje się na głównych motywach i czynnikach skłaniających do ćwiczenia karate w różnych krajach. Stara się wyróżnić główne trendy oparte na wnioskach różnych teorii socjologicznych i badań np. fakt, że dla mężczyzn ważniejszy jest wygląd osiągnięty dzięki ćwiczeniom, a dla kobiet większe znaczenie ma ustalenie swojego miejsca w hierarchii i możliwość samoobrony. Liczne wyniki badań, które przytacza autor, analizują także motywacje do uczenia się karate tzn. wewnętrzne motywacje dotyczące wartości, radości, poczucia własnej wartości oraz potrzeby fizyczne i zewnętrzne, w tym rozwijanie umiejętności motywacji, ustanawianie prestiżu, zawarcie przyjaźni i branie udziału w rywalizacji. Inne badania wspominają rolę kultowych filmów o sztukach walki, a także zainteresowanie kulturą Wschodu. Metoda. Badanie to opiera się w dużym stopniu na spostrzeżeniach i refleksjach, które są dostępne w literaturze przedmiotu (analiza treści literatury przedmiotu). Wyniki i wnioski. Karate jest traktowane, jako sztuka walki, budo i sport walki. Czasami może to być nawet spektakl. Sztuka walki dyscyplinuje umysł poprzez dyscyplinowanie ciała. Budo opiera się na filozofii życia wojownika i jest ściśle powiązane z duchowym wymiarem praktyki. Sport walki ma na celu niekończącą się poprawę wydajności. Karate ma wiele zalet nie tylko na poziomie indywidualnym, gdzie rozwija samoocenę, poczucie bezpieczeństwa, samokontrolę emocjonalną, pewność siebie, wytrwałość, uczciwość i wolę, ale także na poziomie społecznym, gdzie poprawia pracę zespołową, umiejętności interpersonalne, komunikację i interakcję społeczną. Poza tym, uczy szacunku dla innych, jak również dla tradycji i autorytetu. Dotyczy to wszystkich ludzi, niezależnie od ich wieku czy statusu społecznego. Koncepcja budo zawiera się w sztukach walki. Sztuki walki i sporty walki mają dwa zupełnie rozbieżne cele. Sztuka bojowa (fighting art) jest pojęciem obejmującym sztuki walki i sporty walki. Karate jest postrzegane różnie w zależności od kontekstu kulturowego. Główne tendencje uprawiania karate można podzielić na trzy główne kategorie: po pierwsze, pragmatyczne motywy dotyczące zdrowia i sportu. Po drugie, czynniki filozoficzne dotyczące edukacji. Po trzecie, motywy utylitarne powiązane z samoobroną.

Cel: celem artykułu była ocena wpływu poziomu wykształcenia na postrzeganie innowacji ekologicznych. Głębokość uwagi poświęcanej interdyscyplinarnemu wpływowi innowacji i edukacji w społeczeństwie ostatecznie wpływa na poziom kultury edukacji oraz szacunku powstających innowacji wobec ludzi i ich środowiska. Metodologia: dane wejściowe zebrano za pomocą ankiety przeprowadzonej wśród klientów przy użyciu kwestionariusza Kano. W badaniu zastosowano model Kano do przetwarzania danych. Analiza pozwoliła zmierzyć i zbadać emocjonalne reakcje słowackich klientów na produkty. Wyniki: w przypadku gdy multidyscyplinarne innowacje pozytywnie wpływają na środowiskowy, gospodarczy i społeczny rozwój społeczeństwa, mają one również tendencję do zwiększania konkurencyjności regionów i prowadzą do zrównoważonego rozwoju i gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. Można stwierdzić, że osiągnięty poziom wykształcenia wpływa na postawy wobec innowacji ekologicznych. Im wyższy poziom wykształcenia respondentów, tym bardziej wrażliwi byli na kwestię ekoinnowacji. Interpretacja wyników stanowi wkład w dyskusję na temat znaczenia interdyscyplinarnej edukacji, a także spojrzenie na innowacje, które szanują jednostki, społeczeństwo i środowisko. Oryginalność/wartość: oryginalność badań polega na metodycznym podejściu do łączenia postrzegania ekologicznych innowacji produktowych z aspektem społeczno-demograficznym (poziom wykształcenia) w warunkach rynkowych Słowacji.

EN

Aim: To evaluate the influence of educational attainment on the perception of ecological innovation was the main objective of the paper. The depth of attention paid to the interdisciplinary impact of innovations and education in society ultimately affects the level of the culture of education and whether the innovations that arise respect people and their environment. Design/methodology/approach: Input data gathered via survey of customers using the Kano questionnaire. The research applied the Kano model to data processing. The analysis allowed us to measure and explore the emotional reactions of Slovak customers to products. Findings: If multidisciplinary innovations positively affect the environmental, economic, and social development of society, they also tend to increase competitiveness of regions and lead to sustainability, development, and the knowledge economy. It can be concluded that the level of education achieved affects attitudes towards ecological innovation. The higher the education level of the respondents, the more sensitively they perceived the issue of eco-innovation. The interpretation of the results is a contribution to the discussion about the importance of education with an interdisciplinary overlap, as well as a view on innovation that respects individuals, society, and the environment. Research limitations/implications: Even though the results demonstrate the influence of the attitudes of Slovak customers depending on their educational attainment, it is necessary to verify whether they are reflected in real purchasing behavior. Originality/value: The originality of the research lies in the methodical approach of connecting the perception of ecological product innovations and the socio-demographic aspect (educational attainment) in the market conditions of the Slovak Republic.

Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie poglądów Kartezjusza dotyczących związków między postrzeżeniami zmysłowymi a ideami nabytymi. W związku z tym, że zagadnienia te były przez autora Medytacji opracowywane przez wiele lat i ujmowane z odmiennych perspektyw, zestawiam tutaj poszczególne ich ujęcia z najważniejszych pism. Analizy przeprowadzone są zgodnie z chronologią powstawania dzieł, dlatego autor rozpoczyna je od pism fizykalnych, przez metafizyczne i dotyczące anatomii człowieka, by skończyć na psychologicznych. Takie ujęcie tematu pozwala ukazać zmianę podejścia Kartezjusza do omawianego problemu od jego naturalistycznego stanowiska do immanentyzmu. A jednocześnie umożliwia zasygnalizowanie istnienia nieusuwalnego na gruncie jego filozofii rozdarcia między opisywanym przezeń rozciągłym fizykalnym światem a treścią umysłu.

EN

The article presents Descartes’ views on connection between sensible perceptions and adventitious ideas. The author of Meditations worked on this issue for many years and conceived it from different perspectives, therefore the author of the article tries to compare its various de pictions presented in his most important works. The analysis is held according to the chronology of works’ origin and this is why the author begins it from physical works, trough metaphysical and concerning human anatomy, to finish with psychological writings. Such a perspective allows presenting how Descartes’ approach to the issue developed from naturalistic to immanent standpoint. And at the same time it enables to indicate that there is irremovable dilemma in his philosophy between described by him physical extensive world and content of mind. And at the same time it enables to indicate the dilemma of his philosophy: the existence of the irremovable gap between physical extensive world and the contents of human mind.

Do tej pory zagadnieniu dostępności wśród osób z różnymi niepełnosprawnościami żyjących w społeczeństwie arabskim ogólnie, a w społeczeństwie Beduinów w szczególności, poświęcono niewiele badań. Prezentowane w artykule badania to pionierskie studium pilotażowe, które skupia się na kwestii dostępności wśród osób z niepełnosprawnościami w społeczeństwie Beduinów w regionie Negew. Badania zgłębiają problem dostępności oraz główne potrzeby osób z niepełnosprawnościami żyjących w uznanych społecznościach. W toku badań przeprowadzono sto (100) wywiadów z osobami z niepełnosprawnościami żyjącymi w regionie Negew. Część badanych była członkami społeczności uznanych, a część społeczności nieuznanych. Z wyników badań wyłania się ponury i trudny obraz psychicznego i społecznego stanu osób z niepełnosprawnościami w kontekście dostępności instytucji oświatowych i publicznych.
