Aim. The aim of the current study was to determine the levels of stress, resilience and the sense of self-efficacy, as well as the influence of resilience and the sense of self-efficacy in shaping stress levels, in a sample of women from various countries of origin. Material and methods. The study was carried out on a sample of Ukrainian (N = 82), Polish (N = 102), Slovak (N = 79), and Romanian (N = 42) women using the Sense of Stress Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale. Results. Highest total stress levels were found among Ukrainian women, while the lowest were found among Polish women. Simultaneously, Ukrainian women reported the lowest resilience and sense of self-efficacy levels, while the highest levels of these variables were reported by Slovak and Polish women, respectively. There were also observable countrydependent differences in the moderating effect of the sense of self-efficacy on the relationship between resilience and stress. Conclusions. The current study fills the gap on the topic of women's stress during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This conflict necessitates further studies on women from Ukraine and from neighbouring countries, together with providing evidence-based support to lower the consequences of experienced stress.

Artykuł dotyczy książki Sebastiana Rajewicza Schole. Czas wolny w Sparcie epoki klasycznej (Warszawa 2022). Podjęto w niej próbę weryfikacji szeroko rozpowszechnionej opinii, że życie obywateli Sparty było skoncentrowane na przygotowaniach do wojny i wypełnianiu innych obowiązków nałożonych przez państwo. Analiza materiału źródłowego odnoszącego się do epoki klasycznej wykazała, że na codzienne obowiązkowe zajęcia Spartanie, którzy ukończyli trzydziesty roku życia, poświęcali tylko kilka godzin dziennie. Większość dnia mogli poświęcić na prywatne aktywności, które w istotny sposób nie różniły się od zajęć czasu wolnego zamożnych obywateli innych greckich poleis. W artykule przedstawiono główne tezy monografii wskazując na ich podstawę źródłową oraz konfrontując je z opiniami wyrażonymi w literaturze przedmiotu.

Zjawisko opisane przez Henryka Berezę jako nurt chłopski w literaturze było w obrębieliteratury polskiej czymś wyjątkowym. Dzięki wywodzącym się z prowincji twórcom, takim jak:Julian Kawalec, Tadeusz Nowak, Wiesław Myśliwski, Edward Redliński i Marian Pilot, wieś zyskałareprezentację w głównym nurcie kultury i literatury lat 1945–1989. Jednak również wśród tekstównurtu chłopskiego można wskazać tematy, które nie znalazły swojego odzwierciedlenia lub znajdowały je rzadko. Wśród utworów należących do nurtu chłopskiego da się zauważyć niewielką reprezentację kobiet, zarówno wśród autorek, jak i równorzędnych w stosunku do postaci męskich bohaterek. Najada (1970), Diabły (1971) i Gorczyca (1981) to nieliczne przykłady utworów skupiających się na żeńskiej perspektywie życia na prowincji. Wyraziste postacie matek, córek i żon stanowią uzupełnienie męskiej perspektywy, która – jak się wydaje – zdominowała nurt chłopski.Obraz życia przedstawiony w literaturze zostanie skonfrontowany z relacjami kobiet wiejskich, wysyłanymi na konkurs Instytutu Rozwoju Wsi i Rolnictwa Polskiej Akademii Nauk, opublikowanymi w latach 1975–1976 w trzech zbiorach z serii Wspomnienia Kobiet Wiejskich: Czyste wody moich uczuć (1975), Rola przeorana, dom piękny (1975) i Być w środku życia (1976).

W artykule przedstawiono i omówiono wyniki badań panelowych przeprowadzonych w kwietniu 2023 roku w grupie 77 kobiet odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności w Oddziale Zewnętrznym w Lublińcu Zakładu Karnego w Herbach. Wyniki tych badań porównano z wcześniejszymi badaniami zrealizowanymi w czerwcu 2012 roku w takiej samej liczebnie grupie kobiet w ówczesnym Zakładzie Karnym w Lublińcu. Celem badań było poznanie zmian, jakie zaszły w religijności osadzonych kobiet w zakresie: znajomości prawd religijnych, odczuwania związku emocjonalnego z religią, poziomu praktyk religijnych, powiązania życia moralnego z religią i odczuwania związku z Kościołem. Uzyskane wyniki uprawniają do stwierdzenia, że wśród osadzonych dominuje przeciętny poziom religijności (najczęściej deklarowany poziom średni samooceny odczuwania związku emocjonalnego z religią, poziomu praktyk religijnych, powiązania życia moralnego z religią i odczuwania związku z Kościołem), ale równocześnie uwidocznia się zmiana w kierunku postaw bardziej radykalnych (wzmocnienie lub osłabienie religijności) poprzez zwiększenie deklaracji samoocen omawianych aspektów na poziomach bardzo silnym, silnym, słabym i bardzo słabym. Wyniki te wskazują na możliwe „odkościelnienie religijności”, co jest zapewne związane z istotnymi przemianami zachodzącymi w polskim społeczeństwie.

It is common knowledge that in ancient times women did not have many rights that were assigned only to men, such as the right to education, owning their own property or freely choosing a partner. The aim of the article is to present the image of the life of women in ancient Greece, with particular emphasis on the citizens of Athens during the Peloponnesian War and after its end, based on two comedies by Aristophanes: Lysistrata and Assemblywomen. By highlighting some stereotypes regarding women, the comedy writer draws attention to the chaos that prevails in political matters for which men are responsible. Women make a kind of transition from the zone of oikos intended for them to the zone of polis, becoming the main characters of comedy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims to assess the rate of increase in the number of street names motivated by female figures, based on the analysis of 3,329 hodonyms entered into the TERYT database in the years 2018–2022. The collected data was juxtaposed against the data from a pilot study published in 2018, covering twelve Polish cities with the largest number of streets, which can be treated as a representative research sample. Our results clearly indicate an increase in the dynamics of creating street names based on women’s names (from 11% to nearly 16%). Undoubtedly, the factors conducive to the formation of feminine hodonyms are cultural and social, i.e. gender balance policy, concern for parity in the contemporary socio-political space, as well as the 100th anniversary of granting voting rights to women, marked by the Polish parliament declaring the year 2018 as the Year of Women. Our analysis also shows an increase of historical namesakes, especially of the secular ones (at the expense of those with religious motivation, such as saints). The top ten positions of the female pantheon remain rather stable and dominated by the literary profession (Maria Konopnicka, Eliza Orzeszkowa, Zofia Nałkowska, Maria Dąbrowska); there is, however, a marked rise in the ranking of poet Wisława Szymborska, the 1996 Nobel Prize winner.

The article outlines the results of field studies conducted in selected villages in the Bieszczady Mountains. The purpose of the studies was to show the perspective of women in the context of life in the Bieszczady Mountains. The author briefly presents the history of the studied region and the importance of studies relating women in the humanities, and exposes the lack of women’s narratives in the common discourse concerning the area after 1945.

Artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie wydarzeń związanych z zamachem stanu w Mjanmie w 2021 roku oraz ukazanie roli kobiet uczestniczących w protestach przeciwko temu przewrotowi. Państwo birmańskie od momentu wyzwolenia się spod jarzma władzy kolonialnej i uzyskania niepodległości boryka się z wieloma problemami. Jednym z nich jest ciągła aktywność junty wojskowej w polityce kraju. Junta rządziła państwem nieprzerwanie od roku 1962 do 2011, kiedy to władzę przejęła partia demokratyczna i ustanowiono cywilnego przywódcę. Czas demokracji nie potrwał jednak długo, ponieważ 1 lutego 2021 roku junta dokonała zamachu stanu i ponownie przejęła władzę. Spotkało się to z niezadowoleniem obywateli, zaczęli organizować prodemokratyczne protesty i stawiać opór reżimowi. Jedną z czołowych grup były kobiety. Stanowiły ponad połowę protestujących i często były liderkami marszów protestacyjnych. Ich wysoka aktywność w protestach wynikała nie tylko z chęci obalenia junty, ale także z potrzeby walki o prawa równościowe w patriarchalnym społeczeństwie.

Celem artykułu jest poddanie dyskusji wyników badań empirycznych poświęconych narracjom klimatycznym. W badaniach uczestniczyło 35 kobiet repezentujących najstarsze pokolenie (75-87 lat) oraz 35 dziewcząt reprezentujących pokolenie piętnastolatek. Zastosowana jakościowa procedura badawcza – wywiad, umożliwiła zebranie narracji. Problemy badawcze zawarte były w formule następujących pytań: Jaki retrospektywny obraz zimy jako pory roku wyłania się z narracji uczestniczek badań empirycznych? Jaki obraz ewentualnych zmian klimatycznych wyłania się z narracji kobiet uczestniczących w badaniu? Ramą teoretyczną projektu jest paradygmat emocjonalizacji zmian klimatu. Wyniki badań obejmują zidentyfikowane znaczenia zimy jako pory roku, analizę wyłaniających się istotnych kategorii opisu oraz analizę emocji klimatycznych uczestniczek badania.

The challenges of simultaneously experiencing depressive disorders and autism spectrum conditions pose a significant threat to the well-being of young adult women. Previous research reports indicate that engagement in meaningful activities, specifically analysed in occupational therapy, can not only increase the effectiveness of the activities performed, but also have a positive impact on overall life satisfaction and mental health. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between the severity of autistic traits, involvement in meaningful activities and depression in women. The following tools were used in the study: Short Autism Spectrum Quotient Test (AQ-10), Engagement in Meaningful Activities Scale (EMAS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The study involved 237 women aged 18 to 35 years (M = 21.1; SD = 1.93), who were divided into two subgroups based on AQ-10 indicators. The results revealed a linear relationship between the severity of autistic traits and involvement in meaningful activities and depressive symptoms. Additionally, a correlation was found between engagement in meaningful activities and depression. It was also identified that the intensification of autistic traits significantly differentiated the level of engagement in meaningful activities but did not differentiate the level of depression.

Seriale stanowią dzisiaj nieodłączny element kultury medialnej, a ich tematyka często dotyczy różnych form przemocy wobec kobiet oraz zmagań bohaterek z zewnętrzną opresją. Przedmiot rozważań stanowią wybrane współczesne seriale filmowe z postaciami kobiet w roli głównej. Celem refleksji badawczej jest przedstawienie sposobów ukazywania kobiet w serialach zrealizowanych w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku. Przeprowadzona analiza potwierdza tezę, że seryjne narracje są odbiciem skrywanych i przemilczanych problemów kobiet, poruszają zagadnienia przemocy seksualnej, domowej, psychicznej i religijnej opresji. Bohaterki seriali o tematyce emancypacyjnej zmagają się z ustalonymi przez patriarchalne społeczeństwo, rodzinę czy wspólnotę religijną normami zachowań, przeciwko którym się buntują. W artykule zwrócono uwagę na zmiany społeczno‑kulturowe w przedstawianiu postaci kobiet i obecność refleksji na temat wielokulturowej i religijnej tożsamości oraz granic kulturowej asymilacji i integracji.

Ograniczenia pandemiczne doprowadziły do zamrożenia wielu inwestycji m.in. zasoby ludzkie i ich rozwój. Nastąpił ogromny spadek zainteresowania ofertami szkoleniowymi w tradycyjnej formie ze względu na konieczność zachowania zasad bezpieczeństwa. Powszechnym zjawiskiem stały się szkolenia online. Szkolenia te mogą być szansą na zdobycie nowych kwalifikacji dla osób, które utraciły pracę w wyniku pandemii, ale także dla osób, które chcą podnieść swoje dotychczasowe kwalifikacje, zwiększając tym samym szanse na zatrudnienie. W artykule przedstawiono przykładowy zawód obejmujący kwalifikacje zawodowe z obszaru rynku Call Center. Przedstawiono również studium przypadku możliwości zwiększenia szans na zatrudnienie kobiet o średnich i niskich kwalifikacjach w ramach międzynarodowego projektu Virtuall Call realizowanego w ramach programu UE Erasmus+.

Aim. The research, was constructed with women in mind, whether and how social media affects their lives. The aim was to obtain answers regarding which age groups and which people are most frequently affected by the media. It was also important to find out whether and how the effect of the Internet manifests itself in everyday life, and whether and what consequences it has on self-confidence among women. Methods. An original survey form was created for the study and published on social media. A total of 156 adult women from different age groups took part in the survey. The results of the survey were benchmarked, and individual results were compared using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. In this case, the sampling was randomised. Results and conclusion. It was possible to confirm all the hypotheses and obtain answers to the research questions posed. The research has made it possible to identify the ways in which social media affect different types of women. According to the results, women over 50 were least likely to feel the negative impact of social media on their lives. This age group was more likely to indicate that they felt confident and rated their appearance higher. A woman who is more likely to feel the negative impact of social media on her life presents herself as insecure and a low opinion of her appearance, both of which may be slightly exacerbated by spending a long time online. The average woman feeling the positive impact of social media was more likely to be confident and rate her appearance higher. This type of woman also showed that prolonged browsing of beauty content may slightly contribute to encouraging self-acceptance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artykuł skupia się na notach pośmiertnych publikowanych w „Bluszczu” w latach 1865-1918. Analizie poddano nekrologi Polek, których największa grupa wyróżniała się na polu literatury, pedagogiki i filantropii. Noty pośmiertne charakteryzowały się dydaktyką, czego efektem było promowanie ideału Matki Polki. Wyjątkową uwagę poświęcano wybitnym Polkom takim jak Narcyza Żmichowska, Eliza Orzeszkowa czy Maria Konopnicka.

Artykuł został poświęcony patronkom wybranym przez młode katoliczki w związku z sakramentem bierzmowania, przywoływanym przez nie po kilku latach od podjęcia tej decyzji. Jego podstawą były przeprowadzone w formie zogniskowanych wywiadów grupowych rozmowy z uczennicami ostatnich klas szkół średnich. Pomimo ustaleń poczynionych przez Konferencję Episkopatu Polski dotyczących zachowania przez młodych ludzi przy sakramencie bierzmowania imienia z chrztu (jeśli tylko jest to imię świętego), większość rozmówczyń miała możliwość wyboru dowolnej patronki. Według zaprezentowanych narracji było to dla nich istotnym wydarzeniem, a ich decyzje w większości były starannie przemyślane. Prowadzone w tym zakresie poszukiwania najczęściej miały charakter samodzielny, rzadko związany zarówno z lekcjami religii, jak i katechezą parafialną. Patronki, na które przed kilkoma laty zdecydowały się rozmówczynie, często były przez nie prezentowane jako swoisty wzór moralny. Zachowania i postawy świętych lub błogosławionych były zazwyczaj pozytywnie odbierane przez dziewczęta stojące u progu dorosłości. W związku z tym warto poczynić refleksje dotyczące zarówno umożliwienia młodzieży autonomicznego, refleksyjnego wyboru patrona, z którym ze względu na określone czynniki, takie jak zainteresowania lub zawodowe plany, chcą się utożsamiać, jak i całego procesu zapoznawania ich z religijnymi wzorami osobowymi w kontekście katechezy parafialnej oraz szkolnej edukacji religijnej.

Background: Many authors emphasise the influence of gender differences on mental health and the course and experience of mental illness, and/or postulate a gendered perspective in mental health research. Research holistically considering indirect selfdestructiveness in women with schizophrenia is hard to find in the international literature; studies have been performed on the sole basis of some discrete manifestations of indirect self-destructiveness. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the indirect self-destructiveness syndrome and its categories in women with schizophrenia. Method: A group of 125 women with paranoid schizophrenia, aged 27–57, were examined by using the Polish version of the Chronic Self-Destructiveness Scale (CS-DS); for comparison, a group of 175 men with schizophrenia and a sociodemographically well-matched group of 125 healthy women were examined. Results: The intensity of indirect self-destructiveness and most of its categories were found to be greater in the group of women with schizophrenia compared to men with schizophrenia (transgression, poor health maintenance, personal and social neglects) and healthy women (transgression, personal and social neglects, lack of planfulness, helplessness). Nevertheless, women with schizophrenia displayed signs of better psychosocial adjustment than schizophrenic men. Conclusions: Comprehensive therapeutic, i.e. psychiatric, psychological and social, interventions should serve to enhance the “self ” defence and self-care functions, and improve the evaluation of adequacy and efficiency in women with schizophrenia. Working with such patients towards increasing their life satisfaction, although life did not spare them suffering, seems to be equally important in (psycho) therapy. The mobilisation and orientation of their actions towards those in favour of their development and health appear as crucial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
