S’arbrifier ou pour une approche empathique du végétal Exemple de "L’En vert de nos corps" de Christine Van Acker
Full text linkThe purpose of this article is to analyze a possibility of an empathetic approach to plants, and beyond, to the environment in L’En vert de nos corps by a Belgian writer Christine Van Acker. At the intersection of care theory and ecocriticism, we study three ways which this empathetic approach chooses to restore the lost bonds between humans and non-human beings: the sensuous (in the David Abram’s and Jacques Tassin’s meaning), art, and identification. Our analysis shows that the empathy, considered as the ability to understand, to share experiences and to take care, involves an array of attitudes required nowadays in front of environmental crisis and our interspecific vulnerability which comes within: arts of noticing (Tsing), exploration, awareness of the very complexity of our environment and the capacity of marveling. It makes the empathy participate in regenerating our relationship with nature.The purpose of this article is to analyze a possibility of an empathetic approach to plants, and beyond, to the environment in L’En vert de nos corps by a Belgian writer Christine Van Acker.

Europejska Konwencja Praw Człowieka przed Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym. O kontroli konstytucyjności umów międzynarodowych i skutkach orzeczeń TK
Full text linkThis article deals with the judgments of the Polish Constitutional Court which declared Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights partially incompatible with the Polish Constitution. The aim of the judgments was to prevent the application of Article 6 of the Convention by Polish courts in the manner indicated in certain judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. The article analyses the issue of the admissibility of review of the constitutionality of international treaties, as well as the issue of the effects of the judgments of the Polish CT issued in relation to international law. In particular, the article emphasizes that a CT judgment cannot lead to a prohibition on applying judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, and that national courts are competent autonomously to determine the legal effects of a CT judgment when deciding a particular court case.Artykuł dotyczy wyroków Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, w których stwierdzono częściową niezgodność z Konstytucją RP art. 6 Europejskiej Konwencji Praw Człowieka. Celem wyroków było uniemożliwienie stosowania art. 6 Konwencji przez sądy w sposób wskazany w niektórych orzeczeniach Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka. W artykule przeanalizowano zagadnienie dopuszczalności kontroli konstytucyjności umów międzynarodowych, a także kwestię skutków wyroków Trybunału Konstytucyjnego wydanych w odniesieniu do prawa międzynarodowego. W opracowaniu w szczególności podkreślono, że wyrok TK nie może doprowadzić do zakazania stosowania orzeczeń ETPCz, a sądy krajowe mają kompetencję do samodzielnego ustalenia skutków prawnych wyroku TK podczas rozstrzygania konkretnej sprawy sądowej
How does emotional intelligence act on institutional policies? A new set of behaviors to facilitate implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) in local health units in Italy
Full text linkBackground
The main contribution of this article is establishing a set of behaviors and successful actions experimenting the Ipacs’ (Institutional & Public Coaching Services) methodology on implementation of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), approved in Italy in 2021 to overcome the socio-economic impact of the pandemic. This research is aimed at pointing out emotional intelligence (EI) behaviors related to the activities of the NRP with respect to the National Health System (NHS).
Participants and procedure
Fifty-six professionals were provided with an integrated pathway with coaching, participative art and mentoring from January to June 2022. A “core set” of 5 soft skills – communication, result orientation, teamwork, networking, and emotional intelligence – was measured before and after an integrated coaching pathway. Each soft skill related to the following three systemic objectives through predefined, related activities: 1) defining and introducing new roles in the health community houses; 2) implementing a new systemic communication in oncology; 3) facilitating the management of chronicity through a new IT platform. We observed that the Giunti test (Org-EIQ) and Ipacs’ test enlighten the same emotional intelligence indicators of behaviors considered by the investigated coaching integrated pathway.
Results
Forty-eight percent of them increased in all 5 core skills. Results were measured at least in one of the two tests. These results were possible thanks to the changes in abilities of self- introspection, in communicating and sharing common goals, to achieve high standard results in conditions of uncertainty, to understand non-verbal feedback and give feedback.
Conclusions
Emotional intelligence acted as a meta skill to pursue a “new model of man” with a new self-schema, self-image and set of behaviors.Background

OCENA SYSTEMU FINANSOWANIA MIAST WOJEWÓDZKICH W POLSCE W LATACH 2019-2022
Full text linkObjective. Voivodeship cities in Poland are of strategic importance for the development of the country and the regions in which they operate and are the economic and administrative centers of Polish voivodeships. The years 2019-2022 were particularly difficult for the development of local government in Poland, including voivodeship cities, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and changes in the tax system. The aim of the work is to assess the financing system and the financial situation of voivodeship cities against the background of local government in Poland in 2019-2022.
Method. The study used budget and per capita indicators of the assessment of the financial situation of local government units, calculated on the basis of data (OSF Indicators 2019-2023). By averaging the values of the indicators, the financial condition of voivodeship cities and their potential were estimated.
Results. The analysis of data from the Ministry of Finance shows that voivodeship cities had a stable financial situation, however, compared to other cities of urban counties, their competitive potential decreased. The local government finance system in Poland does not reward the largest local governments. Data analysis shows that financial transfers mainly supported smaller local governments.Cel. Miasta wojewódzkie w Polsce mają strategiczne znaczenie dla rozwoju kraju oraz regionów w których funkcjonują i są centrami gospodarczymi oraz administracyjnymi polskich województw. Lata 2019-2022 były szczególnie trudne dla rozwoju samorządu w Polsce w tym dla miast wojewódzkich, ze względu na pandemię Covid-19, wojnę w Ukrainie i zmiany dotyczące systemu podatkowego. Celem pracy jest ocena systemu finansowania i sytuacji finansowej miast wojwódzkich na tle samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce w latach 2019-2022.
Metoda. W badaniu wykorzystano wskażniki budżetowe i na mieszkańca oceny sytuacji finansowej jednostek samorządu terytorialnego, obliczone na podstawie danych (Wskaźniki OSF 2019-2023). Uśredniając wartości wskaźników oszacowano kondycję finansową miast wojewódzkich oraz ich potencjał.
Wyniki. Z analizy danych Ministerstwa Finansów widać, że miasta wojewódzkie posiadały stabilną sytuację finansową, jednakże na tle innych miast powiatów grodzkich, ich potencjał konkurencyjny zmniejszył się. System finansów samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce nie premiuje największych samorządów. Z analizy danych wynika, że finansowe transfery w głównej mierze wspierały mniejsze samorządy
Driving Transformation in War-Related Housing, Land and Property Restitution: Innovations from the Ukraine - Russian War
Full text linkLarge-scale housing, land and property (HLP) restitution efforts for war-displaced populations face ongoing limitations in three key areas: legal frameworks, financing, and technology. These limitations have led to critical problems in managing population return, reconstruction and political and economic recovery; with particular concern on the emergence of exploitive agendas and social unrest. Ukraine’s unfortunate war however presents the opportunity to examine significant advances in mitigating these limitations. Drawing on fieldwork in Ukraine and the author’s experience in 23 war-affected countries, the article describes, 1) the socio-legal context and legislative timing of Ukraine’s new Compensation Law; 2) the sources, monetization of HLP claims and remedies involved in financing restitution programmes; and 3) the restitution processing speed and social inclusion possible with Ukraine’s approach to use of technology
European public health policy: guidelines for Ukraine
Full text linkThe article analyses in detail the modern European approaches to public health as a key factor in shaping the human potential of state, which is a crucial element of socio-economic development and is interpreted not only as an indicator of the success of state policy, but also as a strategic resource that affects demographic stability, labour productivity, social cohesion and competitiveness of the country. The article describes the main approaches of the European Union in the field of healthcare, which are based on the principles of humanism, equal access to healthcare services and integrated approaches to their provision. The author analyses the Key Pillars of Public Health Strategy of the European Health Policy, which outline the main directions, fundamental aspects and basic principles of the EU health strategy. Recommendations are given on how to adapt the best practices of European countries to the conditions of Ukraine, taking into account global challenges, including environmental threats, demographic crises and the consequences of war. The importance of rehabilitation programmes and comprehensive strategies aimed at preserving the physical, mental and social well-being of the population is emphasised
The recreational and leisure function of allotment gardens (ag). A case of selected gardens in the łódź voivodship
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to present the recreational and leisure function of family allotment gardens (ROD) by identifying the nature of allotment development and use, and identifying the socio-demographic structure of allotment users, on the assumption that the recreational and leisure function is also revealed, inter alia, in the motives for obtaining allotments in the gardens, the activities undertaken in the allotments, and in the frequency and seasonality of their use. The objectives were realised by means of a direct inventory of plots and questionnaire surveys of users of eight gardens: one located in Łódź and seven located in the western and eastern part of the suburban zone of Łódź in the years 2020–2022. As a result of the analysis conducted, it was concluded that the recreational and leisure function is one of the most important functions in RODs. The aforementioned thesis is confirmed by the ways in which plots are developed and used, the motives for purchasing plots, the activities undertaken on plots in gardens, the frequency and seasonality of use of RODs, and the socio-demographic structure of plot users. For more than half of the surveyed users (57.3%), the allotment in a family allotment garden is the only place of recreation
Transfer pracowników i outsourcing a stosunek pracy
Full text linkThe subject of the judgment analyzed is to determine the circumstances necessary for the effective transfer of employees based on the provisions of Art. 23(1) of the Labor Code, as well as effectively directing employees to perform work under an outsourcing agreement. The authors point out that the principle of freedom of contract is not absolute, and all contracts involving the transfer of employees must take into account the rights of employees as well as the related obligations of employers, including tax and social insurance contribution obligations.Przedmiotem glosowanego orzeczenia jest ustalenie okoliczności koniecznych do skutecznego przejęcia pracowników na podstawie przepisu art. 23(1) kodeksu pracy, jak również skutecznego skierowania pracowników do świadczenia pracy w ramach umowy outsourcingu. Autorki zwracają uwagę, że zasada swobody umów nie ma charakteru bezwzględnego, zaś wszystkie umowy zakładające transfer pracowników muszą uwzględniać prawa pracowników, jak również skorelowane z nimi obowiązki pracodawców, w tym obowiązki podatkowe oraz składkowe
The Need for Controllability and Predictability questionnaire (NCP-q): psychometric properties and preliminary findings in a clinical sample
Full text linkBackground:Given the importance of the need for controllability and predictability in the broad field of health psychology, a high-quality measurement tool for these constructs is required.Participants and procedure:The objective of our study was to validate the Need for Controllability and Predictability questionnaire (NCP-q), which is a 15-item self-report measure that assesses an individual’s need for controllability and predictability. In study 1, an explora-tory (n = 464) and confirmatory (n = 304) factor analysis was performed in two student convenience samples. In study 2, NCP-q data of patients with panic disorder (n = 34), stress related syndromes (overstrain, n = 33; burnout, n = 39), func-tional somatic syndromes (fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome, n = 34), and healthy controls (n = 30) were com-pared.Results:The results from study 1 suggest that the NCP-q should be used as a one-dimensional instrument. The NCP-q has excellent internal consistency and an acceptable four-week test-retest reliability. Convergent validity was demonstrated. Study 2 re-vealed significantly higher NCP-q scores for all patient groups compared to healthy controls, but no differences between patient groups.Conclusions:A higher self-reported need for controllability and predictability can be seen as a transdiagnostic underlying mechanism of different patient groups characterized by experiencing physical symptoms in daily life. The NCP-q can be used as a reliable, concise, and clinically relevant research tool and may contribute to identifying relevant underlying mechanisms in different patient samples.Background:Given the importance of the need for controllability and predictability in the broad field of health psychology, a high-quality measurement tool for these constructs is required.Participants and procedure:The objective of our study was to validate the Need for Controllability and Predictability questionnaire (NCP-q), which is a 15-item self-report measure that assesses an individual’s need for controllability and predictability.

Wpływ Polskiego Ładu na wysokość opodatkowania dochodów osób fizycznych
Full text linkCelem artykułu jest zbadanie wpływu zmian w przepisach prawa podatkowego wprowadzonych w Polsce w 2022 r. na zmianę wysokości zobowiązań względem państwa osób fizycznych z tytułu podatku dochodowego i składki na powszechne ubezpieczenie zdrowotne. Tezę przewodnią artykułu stanowi stwierdzenie, że zakres procesu legislacyjnego Polskiego Ładu był nieadekwatny do korzyści osiągniętych przez ogół podatników. W tekście rozstrzygnięto następujące problemy badawcze: Dla jakich grup podatników nowe przepisy okazały się korzystne? Jak wdrożenie Polskiego Ładu przełożyło się na wysokość dochodów sektora finansów publicznych? Badanie zostało przeprowadzone poprzez analizę danych wtórnych: aktów prawnych oraz sprawozdań finansowych, informacji i raportów opublikowanych w latach 2019-2024 przez instytucje publiczne: Ministerstwo Finansów, Główny Urząd Statystyczny, Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia oraz Najwyższa Izba Kontroli
