Główne nurty w badaniach nad filmem i religią

The article is a meta-study and provides an original typology of research on film and religion, based on Polish and English academic sources. The author proposes to divide this field of research into four main domains, which he names successively: substantial-theological, anthropological-mythological, socio-cultural and post-secular. The following descriptive criteria were used to introduce this division: the relationship between religion and culture adopted (usually implicitly) in a given direction of research, the concept of both human and religion emerging from them, and the established subject and scope of research, as well as the basic set of tools used within them. The proposed systematic is intended to help capture the significant differences between the main types of research on film and religion, both in terms of research assumptions, methods of analysis, and set goals.

A Sociocultural Approach to Children’s Visual Creations

This chapter locates the book within the research on children’s art. It explores interpretations of children’s visual creations throughout the twentieth century and situates the approach of the book within the research landscape. The authors take developmental psychological, educational, and aesthetic approaches to form a sociocultural view of children’s art, challenging many of the previous research assumptions. Through adopting the paradigm of the sociocultural approach, the authors embrace its view of children as competent cultural actors and active participants in cultural production. Thus, the discussion focuses on meaning-making: the authors analyze visual artifacts made by students to understand how they engage with the idea of the difference.

Competitiveness of agri-food foreign trade in conditions of the Slovak Republic

The presented paper aims to evaluate the development and competitiveness of agri-food foreign trade of the Slovak Republic for the period 2016 – 2020. In the article, we present the priorities of Slovakia within the commodity structure. We use the RCA indicator to identify comparative advantages. In this paper, we also compare the actual and estimated development of agri-food foreign trade of the Slovak Republic in the years 2018 – 2020. Based on the reached results, we can state that we achieve an ever-increasing trade balance deficit in agri-food foreign trade. Produced results confirmed all the research assumptions presented in the paper. Despite the increase in export and import of agri-food products, the negative trade balance is still deeper. A significant deviation of real development from the predicted values can be explained by the influence of the worldwide pandemic of the coronavirus COVID-19, which slowed down the possible further development of agricultural trade.

Oralność czy mówioność? O śladach mowy w tekstach staropolskich

Orality or Spoken Language? Traces of Speech in Old Polish Texts The article is dedicated to traces of speech in old Polish texts. The main aim of the article is to show how the scope of reference of key terms and the formulation of research assumptions influence the interpretation of particular phenomena as spoken or oral. The article consists of two parts. The first part is meta-scientific, and it is dedicated to the research on spoken language and the research on orality in old texts. The author analyses terms used by researchers, and the scope of reference of those terms. Also, the author suggests a distinction between the terms orality and spoken language. In the second part, the Old Polish linguistic material is analysed according to the previously formulated research assumptions.

MEDIATIZATION AS A RESEARCH CONCEPT: MAIN PREREQUISITES OF THE FORMATION AND POSSIBILITIES FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

Концепт «медиатизация» фиксирует принципиальные изменения в обществе, произошедшие благодаря развитию современных медиа. Этот концепт активно и широко используется в современных исследованиях; однако концептуализация процессов медиатизации происходит в разных направлениях и различна в разных странах. Между тем уточнение содержания данного концепта и исследовательских допущений, связанных с его употреблением, является важной и самостоятельной задачей. В статье анализируются появление и исходные идеи данного концепта: идея особой медиалогики, как она понималась Д. Элтейдом, идея форматирования, опирающаяся на концепцию медиума как ключа к сообщению последователей М. Маклюэна. Выявлены и представлены проблемные моменты этой концептуализации, связанные, с одной стороны, с тем, что сложные формы анализируются как простые, что приводит к неверным аналогиям; с другой – с пониманием медиума вне необходимых для его функционирования материальных и организационных условий. В то же время показывается, что ряд критических аргументов в адрес данных концепций, связанных, например, с игнорированием этического измерения и осознанности сообщения в модели Маклюэна, неправомерны. Представлены основные взгляды на датировку процессов медиатизации. Выделяются ключевые посылки введения концепта «медиатизация», связанные с разделением собственно действительности и конструктов этой действительности, а также отсутствием единой логики формирования различных медиатизированных социальных миров. Показывается направление дальнейшей эволюции исследований, использующих данный концепт, – оно связано с идеями различных медиалогик, а не единой медиалогики и представлено тремя основными подходами: стратегией понимания медиа как института, под действием которого трансформируется логика других игроков; стратегией анализа «медиатизированных социальных миров», базирующейся на идеях семиотики, постструктуралистских подходах к анализу дискурса, а также различных интерпретациях социальных миров; «технологической» стратегией, демонстрирующей связь «грамматики медиа» и трансформации мыслительных привычек. The concept “mediatization” captures fundamental changes in society due to the development of modern media. It is actively and widely used in modern research, but the conceptualization of mediatization processes takes different directions and differs in different countries. Meanwhile, clarifying the content of this concept and the research assumptions associated with its use is an important and independent task. The article analyzes the appearance and initial ideas of this concept: the idea of a special media logic, as it was understood by David Altheide, the idea of formatting based on the concept of the medium as the key to the message developed by the followers of Marshall McLuhan. The problematic aspects of this conceptualization are identified and presented. On the one hand, complex forms are analyzed as simple, which leads to incorrect analogies; on the other, they are related to the understanding of the medium outside of the material and organizational conditions necessary for its functioning. At the same time, it is shown that a number of critical arguments against these concepts related, for example, to ignoring the ethical dimension and the awareness of the message in the McLuhan model are invalid. The main views on the dating of mediatization processes are presented. The key premises of the introduction of the “mediatization” concept are identified; they are connected with the separation of reality itself and constructs of this reality, as well as the lack of a single logic for the formation of various mediatized social worlds. The direction of further evolution of studies using this concept is shown. It is associated with ideas of different media logics, not a single media logic, and is represented by three main approaches: (1) a strategy of understanding media as an institution whose influence transforms other actors’ logic; (2) a strategy of analyzing “mediatized social worlds” that is based on the ideas of semiotics, poststructuralist approaches to discourse analysis, and different interpretations of social worlds; (3) a “technological” strategy that demonstrates the connection between “media grammar” and the transformation of thinking habits.

Influencing information systems practice: The action principles approach applied to robotic process and cognitive automation

The article formalizes an action principles approach for investigating and influencing the adoption of emerging information systems phenomena, particularly for new technologies. It draws upon recent research into robotic process and cognitive automation to demonstrate the concepts and methodology for a further mode of research into practice that is distinguishable from action research and design science. The authors present definitions, research assumptions, and evaluation criteria and provide a six-step process for generating a set of action principles, updatable by new empirical evidence. The process is illustrated by research into 22 automation cases that eventually arrived at 39 action principles for effective deployment of the automation technologies under review. The major objective is to provide guidelines to prospective researchers. A secondary objective is to provide major insights into the management of robotic process and cognitive automation. This provides opportunities for further theorization and research by academics, and more considered action by practitioners. The authors also discuss the value and limitations of the action principles approach, and how the knowledge generated can be disseminated. The article offers a way of doing research on the applied side of information systems that is timely, does justice to the phenomena under investigation, and provides insights for multiple parties.

A New Automated Forms Generation Algorithm for Online Assessment

Modern learning techniques require technologies to be embedded within the process. The assessment strategy of testing students has been developed through the past few decades and have presented online computer-based examination systems as a replacement for the conventional paper-based testing. However, a major challenge that is still faced by those examination systems is that there is no any guarantee that students sitting adjacently will have different questions or forms, and the questions of exams’ form are not duplicated for any adjacent students within a lab. In fact, this can influence the reliability pertaining to the online examination systems. Consequently, a new algorithm is proposed in this paper for an online examination system that is capable of effectively generating several exam forms with minimal similarity for the constitutional questions, and that guarantees that two adjacent student’s terminals will not have the same forms. Further, the paper provides an explanation for the proposed algorithm and provides a real-life case for the implementation pertaining to the produced algorithm in a conducted experiment. It is found to be proven from the obtained results that the implementation, which is related to the produced form generation algorithm within this research reveals an evidence that is in line with the research assumptions in which an online system’s assessment reliability can be improved based on eliminating adjacent locations of a form similarity.
