W artykule dokonano analizy właściwości ukraińsko-polskiej współpracy transgranicznej, która jest realizowana w ramach współpracy między regionami przygranicznymi sąsiadujących ze sobą państw i przejawia się w różnych formach. Przeanalizowano wpływ współpracy transgranicznej na funkcjonowanie ukraińsko-polskiej granicy państwowej, w szczególności wzmacnianie jej funkcji kontaktowej i międzynarodowej. Zbadano determinanty funkcjonowania euroregionów, obejmujących tereny przygraniczne Polski i Ukrainy. Jako jedno z istotnych wyzwań w tym zakresie na współczesnym etapie należy rozpatrywać konieczność doskonalenia infrastruktury transportowej, modernizacja której będzie sprzyjała poprawie funkcjonowania ważnych międzynarodowych korytarzy tranzytowych i zwiększy ogólną przepuszczalność granicy ukraińsko-polskiej.

The main research objective of the study presented in this article was to analyse the scope and main forms of management of marketing activities in the local government in the Slovak Republic. The study has found that the management of marketing activities is still not usual in the local government in the Slovak Republic. Marketing is coordinated rather in cities than in villages, but there are still some cities that do not consider marketing to be important at all. Marketing activities at the office are mostly carried out by one employee while only a few cities or villages can afford to have more staff to carry out them. The main reason why cities and villages do not carry out marketing activities is the lack of financial resources or the need to deal with more serious problems. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the need to discuss the objectives and tasks of local marketing.

The presented article attempts to put carrier sanctions policies in a perspective of the migration and refugee crisis in the EU. The development, motives and rationale of carriers’ liability are explored to highlight the process of privatisation and offshoring of immigration control at the level of the EU and its Member States. The article is based on an extensive review of documents and the literature related to the carrier sanctions policy and the migration crisis. An interdisciplinary approach based on European Studies is mostly applied. The migration and refugee crisis is examined as one of the most relevant factors shaping the carrier sanctions policy in the EU. The current legal and political context is presented, including binding international and EU regulations related to carriers’ responsibilities. The link between the carrier sanctions and visa policy is explored, as well as main arguments for and against maintaining the measures concerned. The paper argues that carriers sanctions constitute a relevant supporting tool for the national and EU visa policy. Aimed mostly at curbing migratory flows and combating illegal immigration, carriers’ liability legislation may lead to exclusion from access to a fair and efficient asylum procedure.

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę ukazania roli i funkcji badań śląskoznawczych na kształtowanie się środowiska politologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego. Śląskoznawstwo i politologia traktowane są w nim jako bliskie sobie sfery naukowych analiz. Za takim stanowiskiem ma przemawiać fakt, iż niemal cała problematyka śląskoznawcza posiada w znacznej mierze charakter socjologiczno-politologiczny. Wiąże się to ściśle z pogranicznym usytuowaniem obszaru śląskiego, generującego poprzez swoją historyczność i wielokulturowość, wybitnie polityczne treści. Nie bez znaczenia dla narracji artykułu pozostaje kwestia wpływu śląskiej empirii na kierunki opolskich badań politologicznych, zapoczątkowanych jeszcze na przełomie lat 50. i 60. ubiegłego wieku przez prof. Józefa Kokota – współtwórcy i głównego animatora lokalnego środowiska naukowego, a rozwijanych później przez Instytut Śląski w Opolu i Uniwersytet Opolski. Tę ostatnią instytucję można uważać za pełnego sukcesora i depozytariusza opolskiej tradycji politologicznej oraz szkoły naukowej, którą ta tradycja ukształtowała.

Descriptive research on English as a Lingua Franca has been under way for more than a decade now, to the point where the acronym ELF refers not only to situations in which speakers of different first languages use English as their main communicative medium of choice, but also to a new research paradigm in various disciplines documenting a set of shared and stable features and processes. ELF is, in fact, essentially defined and characterised by its variability, flexibility, and linguistic creativity (Guido & Seidlhofer 2014; Seidlhofer 2011). In this paper, we approach the study of ELF as a socio-cultural, political and pragmatic phenomenon by looking at how it manifests itself linguistically in a specific group of speakers: migrant people who have recently crossed the Mediterranean and are enrolled in the national SPRAR project (Sistema di Protezione per Richiedenti Asilo e Rifugiati). The examples of language contacts between ELF and IFL (Italian as a Foreign Language) here discussed will illustrate how linguistic creativity manifests itself in ELF not only in the way “the virtual language of English” (Widdowson 1997: 138–140) is flexibly and creatively adapted and used, but also in the way in which non-English speech can be also integrated into ELF discourse. In the context of multicultural classrooms like those observed in this study, where such factors as integration, tolerance, respect and conflict are at issue every day, the use of ELF becomes more and more controversial. Indeed, it requires a multidisciplinary approach that considers the teaching/learning environment from a variety of perspectives, from the linguistic to the anthropological, from the pedagogical to the sociological ones.
关于英语作为通用语的描述性研究已经进行了十多年，到目前为止，ELF不仅指不同第一语言的使用者使用英语作为主要交流媒介的情况，而且还指不同学科的新研究范式，记录了一系列共同和稳定的特征和过程。事实上，ELF本质上是由其可变性、灵活性和语言创造力来定义和表征的(Guido & Seidlhofer 2014;Seidlhofer 2011)。在本文中，我们通过观察它如何在特定的说话者群体中表现出来，将ELF作为一种社会文化、政治和实用主义现象进行研究:最近越过地中海并参加国家SPRAR项目(Sistema di Protezione per Richiedenti Asilo e Rifugiati)的移民。这里讨论的语言接触的例子将说明语言创造力如何在ELF中表现出来，不仅以“英语的虚拟语言”(Widdowson 1997: 138-140)的方式灵活和创造性地适应和使用，而且以非英语语音也可以融入ELF话语的方式。在本研究中观察到的多元文化课堂中，融合、宽容、尊重和冲突等因素每天都在争论，ELF的使用变得越来越有争议。事实上，它需要一种多学科的方法，从语言学到人类学，从教育学到社会学的各种角度来考虑教学/学习环境。

The aim of the paper is to present the results of a pilot project for foreign language (FL) teacher education, in which trainee teachers’ knowledge and awareness of intercultural and cross-educational similarities and differences between two cooperating institutions from socio-culturally and linguistically distant countries – Israel and Poland – are elicited. The data collected serves as a springboard for designing an international project for FL trainee teachers to be implemented as a part of a teacher training course. In the project the trainee teachers coming from geographically, culturally and linguistically detached backgrounds, Israeli and Polish, are to participate in tandem learning understood as paired sessions of knowledge and experience exchange between FL trainee teachers via online communicators. The pilot phase, therefore, is an initial but indispensable stage evaluating the extent to which trainee teachers are ready to confront and share their educational background, cultural and linguistic knowledge with their peers from a geographically and socio-culturally distant country. A group of fourteen trainee teachers of Opole University participated in the pilot project measuring the participants’ readiness to engage in crossing the aforementioned borders with the help of a closed and open-item questionnaire focusing on the degrees of awareness of a number of aspects, for instance, culture and L1-based differences in approaching FL teaching. The application of the instrument generated quantitative and qualitative data, whose analysis supported the design of the final Tandem Learning Teacher Training (TLTT) program.

As communication becomes easier with the proliferation of ICT (Internet Communication Technology), more companies and individuals face the need and challenge of creating and facilitating virtual teams. Those are groups of people that contact each other only by the means of the internet, with no real-world physical face-to-face contact. Despite the numerous benefits, as low-to-non monetary costs and enormous creation flexibility, there are also many (psychological) risks, often not apparent from the outside. In the current paper we discuss the teaching program that was designed to foster virtual communication skills. We describe a project conducted simultaneously between Palacký University (Olomouc, CZ) and University of Opole (Opole, PL) in the summer term of 2015. We argue that such classes have a potential for individual and business development, provided the necessary preparations are made.

This paper aims to show business ethnography, or economic anthropology, as a field of science that is interdisciplinary in theoretical, methodological and subjective terms, i.e. it makes use of sociology and management sciences. What this means in practice is that it is simultaneously regarded a part of sociology, social and cultural anthropology, and management sciences. Additionally, this paper addresses the fusion of science and business in case of an ethnographer as an entrepreneur. The paper presents theoretical considerations of the new entrepreneurship model for collecting knowledge based on ethnographical research. It recommends ethnographic study as the most appropriate approach for doing in-company research. Such research can yield a deeper knowledge of the organization, its management and decision-making process. Observation, in-depth interviews and visual analysis produce case-specific insights. Even subjectivism and a lack of hard data may be less important given the efficiency of such research. Case studies on this type of research in business environments, especially in the USA on customer environments, could be reproduced at many levels of organizations.

Nature’s September 2015 special issue on interdisciplinarity is designed to probe how scientists and social scientists tend to work together to solve such grand challenges as those of energy, food, water, climate and health. The collection of features, comments and case studies pulls together some interesting data on interdisciplinary work and its history, meaning and funding. Its editorial entitled ”Interdisciplinary science must break down barriers between fields to build common ground”3 makes a strong case for integration of disciplines that have different objects of study, methodologies and procedures, and yet that can converge in research projects that help explain a complex phenomenon more accurately or help design social interventions or public policy more reasonably. The recent visibility of interdisciplinary research has been attributed to a potential to bring significant change to how ”normal science” is done.
