This open access international scientific study provides an analysis of how the educational strategy of Universal Design for Learning can stimulate the process of inclusive education in different educational-cultural contexts and different areas of the educational system. The findings of the research deepen the conception of inclusive education and present an analysis of factors that are significant for developing the educational system as well as providing evidence-based recommendations for educational practice. The research for this work was done in four European countries with various historical-cultural contexts: Lithuania and Poland underwent a transformation of the educational systems ...
Polish contemporary literature is not a closed book to European and world readers. Those not involved professionally in the production or study of literature may well have heard of Stanisaw Lem, Witold Gombrowicz, Czesaw Miosz, Wisawa Szymborska or the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018, Olga Tokarczuk. The situation is different with Polish literature of earlier periods, including the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novel. The works of Ignacy Krasicki, Micha Czajkowski, J'ozef Ignacy Kraszewski, Eliza Orzeszkowa, Maria Komornicka, Stefan Zeromski and Bolesaw Prus - the exception perhaps is Henryk Sienkiewicz, whose novels were translated into many languages - did not enter European circulation on any large scale and have rarely been included in comparative studies. Our book attempts to change this perspective and poses the question as to whether another - expanded and more inclusive - literary canon is possible.
The aim of the volume is to focus on research interests that are rarely presented in the literature on the subject and that arise from the currently perceived needs of the developing didactics of Polish as a foreign language. The research results presented in the contributions provide a new look at the process of acquiring and/or teaching/learning Polish from the following aspects: the peculiarities of Ukrainian speakers learning Polish; problems of acquiring Polish by students from Japan, China, France and Lebanon, methods of developing language skills and activities, and specific phenomena in teaching Polish as a business language. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed analyses, as well as experimental corpora, allow the results described to be considered important for the developing discipline.
Temat jest trudny i cokolwiek niebezpieczny nie tylko z tego powodu, że tajemnicę od zawsze otaczał nimb świętości, a za jej nieuprawnione odkrycie często groziła śmierć. Wydaje się ona imponderabilium tak znacznym, że skazującym na klęskę najskromniejszą nawet próbę jej zgłębienia. Jeżeli więc próbę taką podejmujemy, to nie dlatego, iż przyświeca nam Ikarowy jakiś zapał – nawet gdyby uznać, że w owym mitologicznym nieszczęśniku, może wespół z Syzyfem, winno się upatrywać właściwego patrona filozofowania. Rzecz raczej w przekonaniu, że w filozofii istnieją wprawdzie białe plamy, lecz nie czarne dziury. […] Dwojaki jest podejmowany tu wysiłek: u...
In the era of globalization, foreign trade has an immense impact upon modern economies. To succeed in the global marketplace, sustainable development in trade practices is an imperative goal for countries to reach. Global Perspectives on Trade Integration and Economies in Transition is an authoritative reference source for the latest research on the dynamics of transitional economies and how certain obstacles can disrupt the effectiveness of the transition process. Highlighting the value of trade incorporation at the national and international levels, this book is ideally designed for researchers, professionals, government officials, policy makers, and upper-level students interested in the intersection of globalization, trade, and international economics.
This edited collection focuses on migrant women and their families, aiming to study their migration patterns in a historical and gendered perspective from early modernity to contemporary times, and to reassess the role and the nature of their commitment in migration dynamics. It develops an incisive dialogue between migration studies and gender studies. Migrant women, men and their families are studied through three different but interconnected and overlapping standpoints that have been identified as crucial for a gender approach: institutions and law, labour and the household economy, and social networks. The book also promotes the potential of an inclusive approach, tackling various types ...

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest pogłębiona refleksja o charakterze teoretycznym i empirycznym, dotycząca procesów europeizacji krajowych aktorów życia politycznego, gospodarczego i społecznego w państwach, które nie są członkami Unii Europejskiej i nie mają oficjalnie sformułowanej perspektywy akcesji, lub taka perspektywa formalnie istnieje, ale politycznie jest mało wiarygodna. Kluczowe jest pytanie o granice europeizacji oraz przekształcanie jej impulsów przez krajowych aktorów, pragnących wykorzystać dostarczane zasoby unijne do budowy własnej pozycji i realizacji partykularnych interesów politycznych i gospodarczych, oraz poszukujących w procesie europeizacji dodatkowych źródeł legitymizacji swoich działań na arenie wewnętrznej i międzynarodowej.
This volume focuses on the wider wellbeing costs within European countries as a result of the outbreak of the pandemic and the control measures implemented thereafter. In particular, it considers to what extent Covid-19 and measures taken to cope with the crisis have weakened economic and social structures across Europe and what effect this has had on people’s lives. While many countries in Europe have reallocated public funding to health care, provided support to SMEs, vulnerable populations and regions hit by the crisis, the wellbeing or welfare costs, considered broadly, are still significant. The authors' assessment thus goes beyond the subjective wellbeing discourse and evaluates to what extent structural weaknesses within economic, social and regional frameworks have deepened. The chapters discuss what policies are needed to address these weaknesses. the volume thus recognises that structural inequalities are a key driver of wellbeing. While there have been a number of publications on wellbeing during the pandemic, the original perspective in each chapter on inequalities and the European focus of this publication provide novel information and insights on the topic.
