The Effects of Perceived CSR and Ecological Awareness on Purchase Decisions in Poland
2017
Społeczna Odpowiedzialność Społeczna (CSR) to narzędzie, które pozwała firmom zarządzać swoją działalnością w wymiarze ekonomicznym, ekologicznym i etycznym. Oznacza to, że przedsiębiorstwa dbają o dobrobyt swoich pracowników, klientów, interesariuszy oraz środowisko. Prowadzenie działalności gospodarczej zgodnie z koncepcją CSR może pomóc firmom poprawić swój „zielony” wizerunek. W artykule przedstawiono ideę koncepcji społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu w polskich warunkach. W badaniu wzięło udział 3000 losowych respondentów z dwóch różnych okręgów geograficznych: województwa opolskiego (dobrze rozwiniętego) i Podkarpackiego (relatywnie słabo rozwiniętego). Głównym celem było zbadanie, w…
Modulation of excitatory and inhibitory circuits for visual awareness in the human right parietal cortex.
2005
The balance of specific patterns of excitation and inhibition in critical regions of both hemispheres could be relevant in orienting attention over the extrapersonal space. In the present study a group of normal subjects had to detect small rectangular stimuli presented briefly on a computer screen in three different conditions: unilateral presentation either to left or right visual periphery or bilateral simultaneous presentation. Paired transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), was applied over the right parietal cortex 150 ms after the presentation of the visual stimuli with different inter-stimulus intervals (ISIs: 1, 3,5 and 10 ms). When paired TMS was applied 150 ms, but not 100 ms, af…
How to Foster Critical Literacy in Academic Contexts: Some Insights from Action Research on Writing Research Papers
2013
This chapter attempts to identify problem areas and suggest possible remedial means to rectify critical literacy deficits of students who write research papers in Cultural and Media Studies (CMS) at the Institute of English Studies of Opole University, Poland. Despite sufficient levels of English proficiency and ever easier access to CMS sources, students report daunting problems in selecting and framing their research objectives, stating their positions, and arguing for them. They also find it hard to evaluate materials in terms of relevance and credibility. In brief, they often lack what can be described as critical literacy—a set of skills to interrogate the social, institutional and ide…
Orthographic depth and its impact on universal predictors of reading: a cross-language investigation
2010
Alphabetic orthographies differ in the transparency of their letter-sound mappings, with English orthography being less transparent than other alphabetic scripts. The outlier status of English has led scientists to question the generality of findings based on English-language studies. We investigated the role of phonological awareness, memory, vocabulary, rapid naming, and nonverbal intelligence in reading performance across five languages lying at differing positions along a transparency continuum (Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Portuguese, and French). Results from a sample of 1,265 children in Grade 2 showed that phonological awareness was the main factor associated with reading performance…
A classroom intervention on Spanish grammar and writing: the use of the past tense with secondary school students / La intervención didáctica en el a…
2015
AbstractThis article presents an innovative experience which links grammar teaching with writing, following the premises of the Grammar Didactic Sequences (GDS) with one basic objective: to create a situation in which students learn to reflect on the language they use and are able to use these reflections to improve their writing. The GDS, focused on the use of past tense verb forms, was carried out with fourth-year secondary school students in Spain. This article highlights the difficulties experienced by students when using grammatical concepts as elements to control usage and the importance of revising texts in order to create metalinguistic awareness in a recursive didactic process: fro…

Therefore, we designed a curriculum, which offers students opportunities to get these competencies throughout their academic studies. Some examples and first results will be shown.
Eliciting the implicit: Metacognition in Alzheimer’s disease
2013
The literature on metacognition in Alzheimer's disease points to there being implicit and explicit routes to the control and monitoring of memory. For instance, despite not being able to make predictions of performance which reflect future behavior, people with Alzheimer's disease can regulate effectively the amount of time they spend studying an item. Thus, empirical tasks from the metacognition literature shed some light on the idea of implicit awareness. But the complex pattern of preservation and impairment in metacognitive knowledge also points to other dimensions on which we need to consider patient awareness.
