Opis:
W artykule pada wiele pytań oraz pojawiają się próby odpowiedzi w sprawie kulturowej zdolności adaptacyjnej instytucji partnerstwa i dialogu, a zwłaszcza formalnych zaleceń Unii Europejskiej. W warstwie teoretyczno-metodycznej tekstu przeważa podejście celowościowo-funkcjonalne, zorientowane na analizę instytucji formalnych w ich kulturowym otoczeniu. Wątek empiryczny stanowi problematyka partnerstwa i dialogu w europejskich funduszach strukturalnych i inwestycyjnych. Tekst jest próbą uzupełnienia dyskusji nt. kierunku i kształtu polityki publicznej o kluczowe, a spychane niekiedy na margines, wątki dotyczące praktyki. Cel, metoda i styl narracji nawiązują z jednej strony do partycypacyjnych wzorców polityki publicznej, znanych z publikacji autorów zachodnich, a z drugiej do krajowych analiz empirycznych i uogólnień teoretycznych. Wiodąca teza to prymat instytucji kulturowych nad instytucjami formalnymi i wynikająca z niego potrzeba przekształcania ich wzajemnych relacji w sposób partnerski i deliberacyjny.
The author of the article poses a few questions and proposes some answers concerning cultural applicability of the partnership and dialogue institutions. The core of the mentioned problem revolves around the ability of cultural adaptation of the formal EU norms. The theory and method used in the analysis is aim-functional which is oriented on the research into concrete cultural enclosing of formal institutions. The empirical thread of the argument is the Polish case of partnership and dialogue institutions in the European structural and investment funds. The text presents an attempt to supplement a discussion about the direction and shape of the public policy with significant threads which are often being pushed to the margin of analytical attention and public practice. On one hand, the goal, method and style of narration refers to the patterns of the participatory models of public policy known from the publications of Western authors. On the other, to the Polish empirical analyses and theoretical generalizations. The main thesis is simple as repercussion of day and night, but still seems not well understood: the predominance of cultural institutions over formal ones. It brings result in requirement of modifying the mutual relations towards more partnership and deliberative.

Opis:
The paper regards the general issues connected with the fundamental barriers which impede the implementation of an effective public policy in the sector of science and higher education. Its content does not refer exclusively to Poland or any specific formal solutions but it was written in the Polish science in mind in the first place. The author was inspired by the texts of both conservative and audacious classics.
Tekst traktuje o generaliach związanych z fundamentalnymi barierami utrudniającymi prowadzenie skutecznej polityki publicznej wobec sektora nauki i szkolnictwa wyższego. Jego treść nie odnosi się wyłącznie do Polski i nie do konkretnych propozycji rozwiązań formalnych, ale też był pisany z myślą o polskiej nauce. Autor inspirował się, nie trzymając się ich kurczowo, znanymi tekstami zarówno klasyków poważnych, jak i klasyków odważnych. Do tych pierwszych zaliczają się: polski mikrobiolog i filozof, Ludwik Fleck wraz z kontynuatorami, przede wszystkim w osobie amerykańskiego fizyka i filozofa. Thomasa Kuhna. Dwaj inni inspirujący w tej mierze Amerykanie to: psycholog Abraham Maslow i socjolog Robert Merton. – Mamy tu czterech klasyków poważnych. Klasykiem odważnym jest natomiast rodzimy przedstawiciel dziedziny wiedzy rzekomej, tj. imagineskopii, pod tym nazwiskiem znany z jednej tylko publikacji, ale za to publikacji przełomowej i w tejże dziedzinie, i w myśleniu jako takim. Chodzi o światowej sławy polskiego pendologa, Śledzia Otrembusa Podgrobelskiego. – Sugerując się stylem tego zręcznego naukowego prowokatora nie od rzeczy będzie w tym miejscu stwierdzić, że naukowym zamiarem autora było, aby artykuł stanowił głos mniej na puszczy, a więcej w dyskusji nad realnymi możliwościami prowadzenia skutecznej polityki sektorowej wobec nauki i szkolnictwa wyższego.

Opis:
In the article, in relation to industrial relations in the post-Soviet states, an attempt to consolidate two theses was made. The first one refers to the system-creating role of EU membership and finds confirmation in the situation on the Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian arenas of industrial relations. The second thesis tells of the cultural and institutional mismatch of other post-Soviet states, which is illustrated by the examples of: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Although these theses do not discover the new land, they are generally known - that is why they are given as theses and not hypotheses - but they are not cognitively empty and according to the writer, they still constitute an incentive for further completing the map of the land known for nearly thirty years as part of the widely understood post-soviet studies. The supplement proposed here refers to the characteristic features of the topography of industrial relations in the post-Soviet area.

Opis:
Public management, sector politics and generally the entire public politics should not bethe spheres for utopian dreams. They are almost entirely pragmatic, detailed and often notthrilling. They are the domain of practitioners and experts, who have a special influence onthe public decisions. The article considers especially these issues of co-decision making,which are related to expert knowledge. It is undoubtedly needed, but its excess influence canlead to instating a new kind of domination – one built on a scientifically or organizationallycertified expert knowledge. The epistocracy created this way is considered here as an antiutopiain public management; the text includes the argumentation against it, and the remedyto it is seen in co-decision making.Key words: epistocracy, public management, deliberation

Opis:
Artykuł koncentruje się na poszukiwaniach odpowiedniego dla polskich realiów, konsensualnego modelu podobieństw, różnic, transferów praktyk oraz użyczania sieci współpracy w dialogu regionalnym. Rozważania te czynione są w ramach analizy dwóch zinstytucjonalizowanych odmian dialogu: społecznego i obywatelskiego na poziomie województwa. Elementy modelowej odpowiedzi na podejmowane przez autorów kwestie konstruuje się w odniesieniu do regionu małopolskiego, ponieważ wcześniejsze badania wykazały, że region ten posiada wyraźny potencjał sprzyjający rozwojowi instytucji dialogowych. Autorzy posługują się wskazanymi kategoriami, uwzględniając narzędzie, jakim jest publiczna deliberacja. Za teoretykami i praktykami uznają deliberację za jedną z najbardziej optymalnych dialogowych ścieżek (przed)decyzyjnych, które prowadzą ku skutecznym i akceptowalnym rozstrzygnięciom i umożliwiają optymalne, sprawiedliwe i przejrzyste publiczne zarządzanie zasobami środowiskowymi. Wychodzą w tekście z założenia, że wzajemne uczenie się nowych sposobów działania przez konkretne instytucje dialogu społecznego i obywatelskiego umożliwia korygowanie w przyszłości utrwalonych już elementów niedialogowych. Zakładają również, że w myśl koncepcji tzw. uczących się regionów, od jednego regionu są w stanie uczyć się dialogu inne województwa. Autorzy korzystają z metodologii nauk społecznych, a w szczególności sięgają do propozycji studiów z polityki publicznej, które uzupełniają elementami analizy formalno-instytucjonalnej: wykorzystują analizę porównawczą dialogu społecznego i obywatelskiego w polskich regionach, a także analizę prawną oraz studia przypadków.
This article focuses on searching for a consensual model of similarities, differences, transfers of practices, and lending networks in regional dialogue, which would be appropriate for Polish realities. These considerations are made within the framework of an analysis of two institutionalized varieties of dialogue: social and civil dialogue at the level of voivodship. Elements of a model answer to the issues addressed by the authors are constructed with reference to the Malopolska region, which was selected due to the results of nationwide research – conducted earlier by one of the authors – indicating that this region has a clear potential which favours the development of dialogue institutions. The authors use the categories indicated, taking into account the tool of public deliberation. Following theorists and practitioners, they consider deliberation as one of the most optimal dialogical (pre)decision-making paths, since it leads to effective and acceptable decisions and enables the optimal, fair and transparent public management of environmental resources. It is assumed that the mutual learning of new ways of doing things by specific institutions engaged in social and civil dialogue enables the correction of already established nondialogue elements in the future. It is also assumed that, according to the concept of so-called learning regions, other regions are able to learn dialogue from one region. The authors use the methodology of the social sciences, and in particular they reach for proposals of public policy studies, which they supplement with elements of formal and institutional analysis. The method used for this purpose is a comparative analysis of social and civil dialogue in Polish regions, along with the use of legal analysis and borrowings from case studies carried out in earlier research.

Opis:
Problematyka artykułu ma wyraźny związek z pandemią COVID-19 i jej negatywnym wpływem na partycypację. W 2020 r. pandemia i związany z nią lockdown czasowo przerwały deliberację w procesach budżetowych w ponad stu polskich miastach. Jednak zarazem w ogólnym pejzażu oraz w kształcie topografii budżetowania obywatelskiego w Polsce wiele się nie zmieniło. Nadal jest to teren dla deliberacji niełatwy, choć jest ona możliwa. Autorzy artykułu podjęli próbę przybliżenia skutków oddziaływania tych elementów ustawowej regulacji budżetów obywatelskich, które nie sprzyjają rozwojowi deliberacji. Wyniki analiz odniesiono do znanej w literaturze modelowej typologii partycypacji w budżetowaniu obywatelskim, z uwzględnieniem przypadków trzech polskich miast.
The issues discussed in this article are clearly related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative impact on civic participation. In 2020, the pandemic and combined lockdown temporarily interrupted deliberation of budget processes in over a hundred Polish cities. However, not much has changed in the general landscape and in the shape of the topography of civic budgeting in Poland. It is still a difficult area for deliberation, although it is possible. The authors of the article have attempted to present the effects of those elements of the statutory regulation of civic budgets that are not conducive to the development of deliberation. The results of the analyzes were compared to the typology of participation in civic budgeting known in the literature, taking into account the cases of three Polish cities.

Opis:
XXI wiek rozpoczął się serią kryzysów, począwszy od kryzysu finansowego i gospodarczego, przez kryzys migracyjny, kryzys związany z narastającym eurosceptycyzmem i brexitem, z falą populizmu i erozją poparcia dla demokracji parlamentarnej . Na to wszystko nałożyła się pandemia COVID-19, która wzmocniła większość istniejących kryzysów i przyniosła nowe wyzwania. Zespół socjologów i socjoekonomistów z Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego i Szkoły Głównej Handlowej w Warszawie podjął badania tych wyzwań i kryzysów. Na podstawie zogniskowanych wywiadów grupowych z pracownikami edukacji, ochrony zdrowia, pomocy społecznej i logistyki, krytycznej analizy dyskursu medialnego oraz ogólnopolskich badań kwestionariuszowych zespół przygotował niniejszą monografię. Odpowiada w niej na pytania o jakość miejsc pracy osób zatrudnionych, w tym w szczególności pracowników niezbędnych w okresie pandemii, medialny obraz pracy w badanych branżach, stosunek społeczeństwa do nowych form pracy, które rozwinęły się w czasach pandemii, o społeczny dobrostan, charakter więzi społecznych i społecznego zaufania, o postawy wobec ustroju politycznego i gospodarczego, stosunek do partii politycznych i państwa. W książce zawarta jest również charakterystyka cech przeciwników szczepień na COVID-19. Książka nie tylko wpisuje się w kontekst wcześniejszych, ważnych i cytowanych publikacji (...), lecz także otwiera Autorom pole dla dalszych analiz, na które zespół zwykle nie każe długo czekać czytelnikom, a ich znaczne już grono regularnie się powiększa. (…) Obok sprawnej narracji i argumentacji, zwraca uwagę po mistrzowsku prowadzona metodyka oraz wiele szczegółowych, empirycznie udokumentowanych odniesień, podawanych w sposób spójny. (…) Jest to kolejne, cenne opracowanie świetnie potwierdzające markę zaangażowanych badaczy, z których każdy ma na swoim koncie niebagatelne i uznane osiągnięcia. prof. dr hab. Jacek Sroka Społeczne skutki COVID-19 są w książce pokazane z kilku perspektyw. Wśród uczestników rynku pracy wpływ pandemii najsilniej odczuli młodzi, zwłaszcza w sytuacji prekaryzacji pracy. Okazało się też, że społeczny prestiż zawodów medycznych wyraźnie wzrósł w warunkach zagrożenia pandemicznego. Towarzyszy temu wzrost oczekiwań rozszerzenia zakresu opieki zdrowotnej oraz zwiększenie bezpieczeństwa pracowników na rynku pracy. Ważna jest konkluzja wskazująca, że dominującą reakcją wszystkich środowisk na COVID-19 było uruchomienie mechanizmów integracyjnych. Nasze społeczeństwo zachowało model familijny o silnych więziach na poziomie grup pierwotnych, rodzinnych i towarzyskich, natomiast znacznie słabszych instytucjonalnych. dr hab. prof. ucz. Paweł Ruszkowski
The book aims at expanding the existing body of knowledge on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as a specific type of health and social crisis with potentially deep and profound consequences for labour. The research presented in the book represents a worker-centred, longitudinal, and critical perspective. It emphasises workers’ subjective and intersubjective processes of sense-making with regard to phenomena and processes in the sphere of work, taking into account broader socio-economic, institutional, and cultural contexts. The ‘critical’ aspects refer to the tradition of critical labour studies, while the longitudinal approach indicates a departure from the ‘hot sociology’ of the pandemic towards a more systematic view, using successive measurements as we move away in time from its origins. The book summarises the results of the early phase of research in the project “COV-WORK: Socio-economic consciousness, work experiences and coping strategies of Poles in the context of the post-pandemic crisis.” The pro- ject is funded by the National Science Centre, contract number UMO-2020/37/B/ HS6/00479. The title of the book intentionally rephrases the title of the 2009 book Working Poles and the Crisis of Fordism, edited by Juliusz Gardawski. In the context of the tradition of research on overlapping crises in the spheres of public health, economy, politics, ecology, etc. (“polycrises”, cf. Tooze, 2021), we step forward with two hypotheses. The first one assumes the transformative potential of the health crisis for Poles’ socio-economic consciousness, work situation, and life strategies, which in the last instance may translate into a crisis of the entire socio-economic system based on neoliberal principles. The second hypothesis says that although we have been facing an unprecedented social crisis, the socio-economic system and the key features of socio-economic consciousness (“the normative visions of economy”) show a considerable resilience. The pandemic has accelerated change and is likely to intensify phenomena already present in the pre-pandemic world for a long time, but its transformative potential has been – at least in short-term, according to our research – limited. The empirical research presented in the book combines quantitative (a representative CATI survey on a nationwide sample of adults, N = 1400) and qualitative methods and techniques (15 focus group interviews with employees from 4 sectors – education, health care, social assistance, and logistics; as well as an analysis of the media discourse around the theme of “essential work”). The category of “essential workers” is central to the qualitative research. For the purposes of the research, we define them as people whose work is necessary for social reproduction and meeting biological and basic social needs under the conditions of a pandemic. Our focus in the book is on the experience of the pandemic crisis in Poland and we have been able to make the following, empirically-based observations. Firstly, the Polish society has had an extensive record of crisis experiences amassed over several decades, which has translated – as we argued in one of our earlier works ( Mrozowicki, Czarzasty 2020) – into the “taming of uncertainty” and developing biographical resources for coping with unexpected phenomena and social breakdowns. Secondly, it can be argued that the model of economic and social life shaped in Poland as a result of the confrontation with the radical social changes of the last few decades bears features that facilitate coping with overlapping and reinforcing “polycrises.” “Patchwork capitalism” (Rapacki, 2019) is characterised by internal heterogeneity, institutional ambiguity, and a lack of institutional coherence. The system developed in a cyclical manner, driven by crises – as well as its internal incoherence – was often a source of adaptability to radical changes in the external environment, including, as Gardawski and Towalski argue (2020, p. 54), pandemic shocks. The book consists of seven chapters preceded by the introduction. Chapter 1 discusses the labour market situation in Poland at the time of COVID-19, including the impact of the pandemic on the labour-market status of Poles, the socio-demographic characteristics of those working remotely, and selected issues of the quality of work. Chapter 2 contributes to the discussion of the category of essential work, covering issues such as public perception and the media discourse around this category in Poland. Chapter 3 looks into the ways in which selected categories of essential workers perceive the future of work and their occupational group. Chapter 4 focuses on the organisational conditions of work in the COVID-19 era. Chapter 5 contains the conclusions of the analyses of the socio-economic awareness of working Poles, including, first and foremost, a diagnosis of the normative visions of the economy shared by them. Chapter 6 discusses issues related to the structural and class position of the respondents in relation to selected problems of their social consciousness. Chapter 7 summarises the analyses of the respondents’ views on their well-being under the conditions of the pandemic and their opinions about the state of the economy, the state, and anti-crisis policies, as well as the characteristics of the anti-vaccine faction. The book closes with Conclusions. The results presented in the book are locally-determined but at the same time – due to the global nature of the pandemic – they bear a number of universal features. The global, more widespread trends include: (1) the “normalisation” and reconfiguration of the social profile of work performed from home, which has become the domain of ‘white collars’ and has been identified with remote work much more unambiguously ( Felstead, 2022); (2) acceleration of the process of coming into terms with new technologies in the workplace ( Śledziewska, Włoch, 2021), which is expressed, inter alia, by the growing “transparency” of new digital tools; (3) the development of the prospect of post-pandemic protests in the case of at least some of the essential workers in the industries under scrutiny (Chen, Barrett, 2021; Vandaele, 2021); and (4) the development of inequalities and precarisation of work, which affect predominantly those workers who had already been on the periphery of the labour market prior to the pandemic, including young, less-educated people working under civil law contracts. The frame of reference outlined above is supplemented by the list of hypotheses we adopted in the design phase of the study. At that time, we assumed that the (post-)pandemic crisis would be characterised by the following: 1. The reinforcement of social inequalities and precarisation in the world of work, which had already been present before the pandemic. In this case, conclusions are ambiguous. On the one hand, the pandemic clearly affected more painfully those employed under temporary and civil law contracts, as they were more likely to lose their jobs and did admit to having experienced changes in their labour-market situation during the pandemic, yet not necessarily due to COVID-19 itself. If the specific category of farmers is put aside, it was the economically-disadvantaged and the less-educated who were more likely to perform stationary (non-remote) work than those economically-better-off and better-educated. It confirms the observations from other research, namely that work at home (in the pandemic: remote work) has become a kind of privilege and a new dimension of social inequality. On the other hand, the analyses presented in Chapter 5 provide a different picture. The extent of precarious employment was not large. Only in the age groups 16–24 and 25–30 the share of holders of permanent contracts was relatively low (36% and 52%) when compared to the remaining age groups, where such contracts were held by around 70% of the respondents. In the economic-occupational categories, only unskilled workers and blue-collar workers were less likely to have permanent contracts (40% and 59%), while around 70% of representatives of the other groups also had permanent contracts. 2. The crisis will be conducive to a deterioration in the quality of work of working Poles and their general well-being. This hypothesis is not fully confirmed. The majority of the respondents were positive about the prospects for career development and work-life balance, and they did not fear losing their job due to the pandemic, and, compared to the results of the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), the percentage of those confident that they would easily find another job with a similar pay if they lost their current job increased from 34% to 52%. Analyses presented in Chapter 4 make it clear that working from home manifested in better opinions about various aspects of work than those expressed by workers who are still confined to their workplace or other place assigned by the employer (Table 4.5). At the same time, however, the research confirms that some dimensions of job quality, wages in particular, deteriorated during the pandemic in groups who used to be worse off in the labour market before the outbreak of COVID-19. Among those surveyed, young, lower earners with primary education were the most likely to report decreasing wages during the pandemic. 3. Working during the pandemic will affect the well-being of working Poles. Analyses presented in Chapter 7 generally validate the hypothesis that overall life satisfaction has significantly decreased in comparison to the pre-pandemic state (the conclusion, however, needs to be treated with caution due to incomplete comparability of data). 4. The pandemic will negatively affect well-being in groups situated lower in the stratification hierarchy. The hypothesis should be tentatively accepted in relation to satisfaction with one’s own life: entrepreneurs, executives, and senior professionals were the groups actually most satisfied with life, while independent farmers and unskilled workers were the least satisfied. There was a negative correlation between life satisfaction and income, and education; those employed under civil law contracts were also less satisfied. Concerns about their own health appear to be very complex in the light of the responses, and workers turned to be the least concerned. Unskilled workers and farmers appeared to be most satisfied with the state of the economy, which was coupled with their stronger support for the policies of the ruling party in Poland (Law and Justice). 5. In the normative visions of the economy, the pro-worker and market-critical components will be enhanced, and expectations of strengthening the institutions of worker participation and trade unions will grow, while support of market and competition will diminish. Those expectations did not materialise (this was indicated by the analyses of the industrial relations assessments in Chapter 4 and the visions of a well-ordered economy in Chapter 5). Comparing the data collected before the pandemic (2016) with the results from the current study, we can see a relatively similar and unchanged hierarchy of principles in the pre-pandemic period and in autumn of 2021. As had been assumed, COVID-19 translated into expectations of better healthcare coverage and increased labour market security. As expected, there was a decrease in the level of acceptance of market institutions in the area of labour relations, but the level of acceptance of free competition among enterprises remained unaffected. Contrary to prior assumptions, there was no increase in expectations of state intervention in the economy, as well as no increase in expectations of reducing inequality and increasing employee participation. Nor was there a growth in the level of the protectionist orientation (expectations of increased protection of domestic enterprises against foreign capital). Undoubtedly, the registered state of economic mentality had consequences and manifested through a high level of optimism of the respondents in the survey regarding aspects of their job quality such as career prospects, job security, worklife balance, wages, and working time. In conclusion, we would like to reiterate that the empirical research presented in the book employed a combination of quantitative (an analysis of data from a representative survey of a nationwide sample of adults) and qualitative (an analysis of focus group interviews with those working in four sectors: education, healthcare, social assistance, and logistics; as well as an analysis of the media discourse around the topic of ‘essential work’) methods and techniques. The category of essential workers played a special role in the qualitative research. As mentioned before, for the purposes of the research, we defined essential workers as people whose work is necessary for social reproduction and providing for biological and basic social needs under the conditions of a pandemic. Opinions about the quality of work during COVID-19 varied much more and were generally more critique-oriented among essential workers than the CATI survey suggested. Symbolic expressions of gratitude that the workers encountered in the media at the early stage of the pandemic turned out to be short-lived and did not translate into any systemic, lasting improvements of their working conditions. Based on the qualitative analyses, it can be assumed that the critical assessment of the quality of work in healthcare, education, social assistance, and logistics – coupled with chronic labour shortages – is likely to result in a growing potential for discontent in the said groups as polycrises unfold.

Opis:
Sera of 89 pregnant women were selected according to the results of ELFA IgM, IgG and avidity IgG, and tested with commercial tests IgM, IgG and avidity IgG Western Blot (WB) to compare the efficacy of both techniques in determining the phase of T. gondii infection. In total, 81 of 89 tested sera (91.0%) were classified as positive, both in the ELFA and WB tests for the presence of anti-Toxoplasma antibodies of class IgG, indicating a past infection, while the prevalence of anti-Toxoplasma positive reactions associated with the antibodies of class IgM indicating a recent infection was much lower – 31.5% and 20.2%, respectively. Sera of 81 women were also tested in the ELFA and WB tests for avidity, e.g. ability of forming high-molecular IgG antibody complexes. Low or medium results in these tests (in this study all classified as low), indicating a recent infection, were detected by ELFA and WB in 22.2% and 45.7% of the total examined samples, respectively. The Spearman’s rank test for correlation, performed for recognition of quantitative data of the ELFA and WB tests (index, units or points), revealed a highly significant correlation between the ELFA and WB tests for homologous classes of antibodies, both for IgM and IgG (p<0.00001). In contrast, the ELFA and WB tests for detection of anti-Toxoplasma IgM antibodies were not correlated with the ELFA and WB tests for detection of anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies (p>0.05), except for the WB test for IgM antibodies, which showed a significant correlation with the ELFA test for IgG antibodies (p<0.01). A highly significant negative correlation between the ELFA and WB test for IgM antibodies and ELFA and WB tests for IgG avidity was demonstrated (p<0.01), except for a relationship between the WB test for IgM and WB for avidity, which was not significant. Such negative correlations are theoretically expected, as strong complexes with the participation of IgG antibodies are absent in the early phase of toxoplasmosis when early antibodies of IgM class are present. Summarizing, this study indicates the high usefulness of the commercial ELFA and WB tests in serodiagnostics of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women. Special attention should be paid to parallel detection of IgM antibodies and low values in the ELFA and WB tests for IgG avidity, which indicates a recent infection which may be associated with a clinical form of congenital toxoplasmosis and damage to the foetus.
