Abstract
Introduction and purpose. Many athletes obtain popularity during their time in sports, but what they do after the end of their professional careers is something that is rarely well known. It has to be stated that a sports career is a specific activity because it starts early in life, lasts relatively short, and the greatest successes usually occur when non-athlete peers are just starting to climb the steps of a typical professional career. Some former athletes do great after they retire from sports, but there are also many of those who have difficulties finding themselves in a new for them reality. The article aims to present how the level of education of former athletes’ affects their subsequent professional careers.
Material and method. The study involved 301 former basketball players who previously played in 4 top leagues in Poland. The dependent variables in this study are the most common in the literature on the subject indicators of career success, such as earnings and job satisfaction. In turn, the independent variable is the level of education. In addition, the study considered whether the represented sports level influences the acquisition of education.
Results. It turns out that those players who played in the top league finished their sports careers later and thus earned longer on basketball. However, more players from the lower leagues have higher education, and they are now more satisfied with their work.
Conclusions. It may not be easy to combine professional sports at the highest level with studying. But the results of the research show that in the case of basketball, many athletes graduate from university. What is more, former players with higher education are usually very satisfied with their current job. In conclusion, it can be stated that former basketball players do well in their second careers, compared to the national average.

Physical activity in high school and while studying as factors of later job and life satisfaction
Get PDFStudies suggest that the people most physically active are the ones with higher education and highest earnings. It makes one to wonder, is playing sports conducive to getting education and money, or maybe only after graduating and finding good job people start to play sports. It turns out that it is physical activity that helps to achieve career success and better life quality. Young people physically active are in a better position later on the labour market and are characterised by a higher life satisfaction. The aim of the article is to present research results on the relationship of the physical activity in high school and while studying for later job and life satisfaction
Czynniki kształtujące oczekiwania finansowe studentów kierunków ekonomicznych
No full textIn the literature, a lot of attention is paid to factors which influence a person’s level of income, but much less is focused on issues determining financial expectations. It is generally believed that a person’s income is dependent on their academic achievements. There is an increasing number of articles noting that physical activity can have a positive impact on the professional lives of people, at least by being beneficial for their health. Another significant factor is gender because those women who hold similar positions to men tend to earn lower salaries. This article is focused on determining whether school grades, physical activity and gender may affect students’ financial expectations. Students of economics participated in the study that was conducted by the author. As a result of the analyses carried out, it can be determined that physical activity and gender influence the financial expectations of students. In addition, the article also presents the financial expectations of Polish students and how they compare to those of other nationalities.W literaturze przedmiotu stosunkowo dużo uwagi poświęca się czynnikom wpływającym na poziom dochodów, natomiast mniejsze zainteresowanie wzbudza kwestia determinantów oczekiwań finansowych. Powszechnie uważa się, że wysokość zarobków osoby jest zależna od jej osiągnięć szkolnych. Coraz więcej artykułów naukowych zwraca także uwagę, że aktywność fizyczna może pozytywnie oddziaływać na życie zawodowe osoby, chociażby przez pozytywny wpływ na jej zdrowie. Kolejnym znaczącym czynnikiem jest płeć, ponieważ zazwyczaj kobiety piastujące podobne stanowiska do mężczyzn wykazują niższe zarobki. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie, czy oceny szkolne, aktywność fizyczna oraz płeć kształtują oczekiwania finansowe studentów. W przeprowadzonym badaniu wzięli udział studenci kierunków ekonomicznych. W wyniku dokonanych analiz można stwierdzić, że na wysokość oczekiwanych zarobków oddziałują aktywność fizyczna oraz płeć. Dodatkowo w pracy przedstawiono także oczekiwania finansowe polskich studentów oraz to, jak kształtują się one na tle innych narodowości
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Physical activity in Poland and the European Union
Get PDFThe primary purpose of the article is to present the level of sport participation in Poland and other European Union countries. Moreover, the article discusses the definitions of individual terms related to sport, determinants of physical activity and plans of increasing participation in sport in Poland and across the European Union. The article uses data provided by extensive public opinion polls as well as by abundant Polish and English literature on the subject. The results of the research show that in Poland, when compared to the European Union, a lower percentage of people are actively involved in sport. However, it can be noted that in recent years there has been a growing interest in physical activity in Poland.The primary purpose of the article is to present the level of sport participation in Poland and other European Union countries.
