Performance Dissimilarities in European Union Manufacturing: The Effect of Ownership and Technological Intensity
2021
Our paper addresses the relevance of a set of continuous and categorical variables that describe industry characteristics to differences in performance between foreign versus locally owned companies in industries with dissimilar levels of technological intensity. Including data on manufacturing sector performance from 20 European Union member countries and covering the 2009–2016 period, we used the random forests methodology to identify the best predictors of EU manufacturing industries’ a priori classification based on two main attributes: ownership (foreign versus local) and technological intensity. We found that EU foreign-owned businesses dominate locally owned ones in terms of size, wh…

Associations between teacher quality, instructional quality and student reading outcomes in Nordic PIRLS 2016 data
2022
AbstractProgress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) focuses on the reading proficiency of students mostly in the fourth year of schooling. A wide selection of studies has shown that family background and early literacy activities at home have substantial associations with student achievement in reading literacy. However, research focusing on teacher qualities and teaching processes is inadequate. In this study, we focus on associations of teacher quality (formal qualifications and professional identity) and instructional quality (classroom management, cognitive activation and teacher support) with cognitive and affective-motivational student outcomes (variables Reading Achievem…

Differences between students' PISA reading literacy scores and grading for mother tongue and literature at school : A geostatistical analysis of the …
2016
In Finland, the national Core Curriculum for Basic Education defines the learning objectives along with the numerical grade to be given for good competence in each school subject in the final phase of basic education. While serving as a guideline for schools and teachers, it should also ensure an objective evaluation of all students in Finland. In this paper, we take a closer look at the equality of student assessment in Finland in the light of student performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2009. This study investigates the relationship between the grades given to students in mother tongue and literature at different schools and the same students’ reading l…

Farewell to Anarchy : The Myth of International Anarchy and Birth of Anarcophilia in International Relations
2018
This article scrutinizes the conceptual history of international anarchy. The argument purported here is that even though the idea of international anarchy is often seen as very central for the academic discipline of international relations, the concept is in fact not found from the forerunners or classics of the discipline. The assumption of international anarchy is commonly seen as a defining feature of a Realist school of international relations. Yet, the concept and especially its “Realist” implications are not to be found in the classics of Realism, from Thucydides, Machiavelli or Hobbes. The idea of “international anarchy” emerges quite tentatively during the First World War, in the w…
Rola biskupa Franciszka Jopa w dziele odnowy liturgicznej Kościoła po Vaticanum II
2016
Patrząc z perspektywy 40 lat od śmierci pierwszego biskupa opolskiego na jego wpływ na recepcję odnowy liturgicznej w Polsce i w jego diecezji, trzeba zdecydowanie podkreślić jego pozytywny wkład w to dzieło. Analiza dokumentów i jego osobistych notatek pokazuje nam osobę bardzo pracowitego biskupa, który niewątpliwie należał do grona najaktywniejszych polskich ojców soborowych. Jego solidne wykształcenie, znajomość języków obcych, głęboka pobożność oraz gorliwa i roztropna działalność pasterska zjednały mu wielki szacunek w rzymskich komisjach, a także w gronie polskiego Episkopatu. Jako biskup opolski wiedział, że był zobowiązany do wprowadzenia odnowy liturgicznej w swojej diecezji. Było…
