The Process of Becoming Multilingual: Individual Language Biographies of Poles in BukovinaThis article focuses on multilingual female speakers born in Bukovina in the 1920s using the language biography method. Analysing selected language biographies of Poles living in southern and northern Bukovina entails focusing on a heritage language. The language biography method shows the development process of individual language awareness. The cases analysed in the study indicate that it is difficult to preserve the linguistic and cultural identity of an individual in mixed-language marriages. For Bukovinian Poles, the Polish language and the Roman Catholic religion are factors of identification and indigenous values symbolizing their belonging to the culture of their ancestors. These two elements are at the core of their identity and are fundamental cultural values which are passed on to children. All the language biographies presented in the article show the speakers’ multilingualism and the way and time in which they learned subsequent languages. Their acquisition was voluntary on the one hand, but imposed on the other. Proces stawania się wielojęzycznym. Indywidualne biografie językowe Polaków na BukowiniePrzedmiotem analiz są wielojęzyczne rozmowy prowadzone przez rozmówców urodzonych na Bukowinie w latach dwudziestych XX wieku. W badaniach zastosowano metodę biografii językowej. Analiza wybranych biografii językowych Polaków mieszkających w Południowej i Północnej Bukowinie wiąże się z skupieniem się na języku dziedzictwa kulturowego. Metoda biografii językowej pokazuje proces rozwoju indywidualnej świadomości językowej. Przypadki analizowane w badaniach wskazują, że trudno jest zachować tożsamość językową i kulturową jednostki w małżeństwach mieszanych. Dla bukowińskich Polaków język polski i religia rzymskokatolicka są czynnikami identyfikacji i wartościami rodzimymi, symbolizującymi ich przynależność do kultury przodków. Te dwa czynniki identyfikacji są podstawowymi wartościami kulturowymi, przekazywanymi dzieciom. Wszystkie biografie językowe przedstawione w artykule pokazują wielojęzyczność mówców oraz sposób i czas, w jaki nauczyli się kolejnych języków.

The Village

The article discusses factors influencing language maintenance under changing social, cultural, economic and political conditions of Polish minority in Siberia. The village of Vershina was founded in 1910 by Polish voluntary settlers from Little Poland. During its first three decades Vershina preserved Polish language, traditions, farming methods and machines and also the Roman Catholic religion. The changes came to a village in taiga in the1930s. Vershina lost its ethnocultural homogeneity because of Russian and Buryat workers in the local kolkhoz. Nowadays the inhabitants of Vershina regained their minority rights: religious, educational and cultural. However, during the years of sovietization and ateization, their culture and customs became much more similar to other Siberian villages. Polish language in Vershina is under strong influence of Russian, which is the language of education, administration, and surrounding villages. Children from Polish-Russian families become monolingual and use Polish very rare, only as a school subject and in contacts with grandparents. The process of abandoning mother tongue in Vershina is growing rapidly. However, there are some factors which may hinder the actual changes:the activity of local Polish organisations and Roman Catholic parish as well as folk group “Jazhumbek”

Software has become the core of organizations in different domains because the capacity of their products, systems, and services have an increasing dependence on software. This fact highlights the research challenges to be covered by computer science, especially in the software engineering (SE) area. On the one way, SE is in charge of covering all the aspects related to the software development process from the early stages of software development until its maintenance and therefore is closely related to the software quality. On the other hand, SE is in charge of providing engineers able to provide technological-base solutions to solve industrial problems. This chapter provides a research work path focused on helping software development organizations to change to a continuous software improvement culture impacting both their software development process highlighting the human factor training needs. Results show that the implementation of best practices could be easily implemented if adequate support is provided.

Regions Of Origin

Changes in the language situation of Vershina near Irkutsk in the conditions of Polish-Russian bilingualismVershina was founded in 1910 by Polish voluntary settlers from Lesser Poland. There are three main periods in Vershina’s history, with different social conditions affecting the language choice. During its first three decades the settlers preserved Polish language (a mixture of dialects from their regions of origin), traditions and the Roman Catholic religion. The effects of the Revolution of 1917 and political changes came to a village in taiga only in the late 1930’s. Vershina lost its former ethnocultural homogeneity because of Russian and Buryat workers in the local kolkhoz. It was the beginning of the increasing role of Russian language in the village’s life. The process of intensive sovietization as well as heterogeneous marriages affected language choice in many domains. In the late 1980’s the inhabitants of Vershina regained their minority rights: they can pray in their own church, learn Polish in a local school and found cultural organisations. However, during the years of communism, the language situation changed irreversibly. There are some factors which may hinder the increasing domination of Russian language, such as activity of local Polish organisation, Roman Catholic parish and folk group “Jazhumbek” but their influence is limited. Изменения языковой ситуации в Вершине Иркутской области в условиях польско-русского билингвизма Вершина была основана в 1910 г. польскими добровольными переселенцами из Малой Польши. В истории деревни мы можем выделить три основных периода, характеризирующиеся разными социальными условиями, влияющими на выбор языка. За первые три десятилетия жители Вершины сохраняли польский язык (смесь диалектов из их родных регионов), традиции и римско-католическое вероисповедание. Вершининцы (как они сами называют себя) почувствовали последствия Октябрьской революции и политические изменения только в конце 30-х гг. ХХ века. Вершина потеряла прежнюю этнокультурную гомогенность из-за присоединения к местному колхозу бурятских и русских хуторов. Роль русского языка в жизни деревни стала постепенно увеличиваться. Процесс интенсивной советизации, а также смешанные браки повлияли на выбор языка во многих сферах жизни. В конце 80-х гг. ХХ века жителям Вершины вернули их права меньшинства: они могут молиться в своем костеле, учиться польскому языку в местной школе и создавать организации, но время коммунизма неотвратимо изменило языковую ситуацию общины. Увеличивающееся преобладание русского языка может остановить лишь активная деятельность местной польской организации, римско-католического прихода и фольклорного ансамбля «Яжумбек» („Рябчик”), но их влияние ограничено.

Creative Life

In recent years, aesthetics is rising rapidly accompanied by the knowledge economy, and the government has also begun to put forth effort to carry out the concept of designing service industry chain, and its emphasis is on how to add value of design creativity in culture, achieve design industry, and form an aesthetic economy. The creative life industry refers to the "core knowledge" that integrates the life industry with creativity, providing life industry of “deep experience” and “high-quality aesthetic feeling”. It emphasizes that because of adapting to the trend of cultural economy and experience economy, it shall take customer experience as the core, through “products”, “services”, “activities” and “fields” to satisfy the consumer’s life proposition, create a unique taste of life, and form a life style recognized by the consumer and through innovative service thinking to attract consumers’ attention and maintain consumers’ deep moving. The creative life industry has the characteristics of cultural life and industrial culture. Facing the trend of experience economy, it is an important issue to be discussed in depth how the creative life industry uses “experience” to develop customer experience values, thereby create economic benefits and deeply cultivate cultural values. Therefore, this study discusses how to use “perceptual fields” and “qualia products” through the case of The One South Park to strengthen and deeply cultivate the moving of consumers, to simulate how to transform from an invisible qualia experience into a tangible creative product, and to provide a reference for enterprises that want to enhance their industrial competitiveness with a qualia experience.

Monetary policy is an important part in the general economic policy, most countries seek various economic doctrines to make the tools of monetary policy leads compatible with its objectives, including economic policy and the adequacy of work to do so.  The economic growth highlights the importance of a key indicator of economic activity in the country and whether it was in favor of the recession or prosperity and that the basic outcome of the development process, it is important that the study of the effect of monetary policy in the economic growth achieved. Perceived from the facts that there was a relationship between the nature of the monetary policy adopted in the country and the economic growth achieved by it, the core of the problem of research is the following question: is there an effect of monetary policy in the growth performance and the nature of the impact, if any.             In the same subject, Malaysia is one of those states that seek to achieve development and economic growth. And there is a strong correlation between the success of monetary policy in the use of tools to achieve its objectives on the one hand and between economic growth and development, on the other.

The Polish language in intergenerational transmission in homogeneous and mixed families in the Lviv regionThe aim of this article is to analyse the conditions of intergenerational transmission of the Polish language in homogenous and mixed families in Sambir and Dobromyl in Ukraine. 21 families took part in the survey: 13 Polish couples, 6 Polish-Ukrainian and 2 Ukrainian of Ukrainian-Polish origin. The study is based on four layers of data: firstly, semi-structured interviews and unstructured interviews with children and young people from each family (7–25 years of age); secondly, interviews with parents and grandparents; thirdly, family observation and, additionally, interviews with neighbours and friends of the families. The database of analysed audio recordings consists of conversations with 92 respondents (approximately 120 hours).The comparison shows that in Polish families the home language is Polish. Mixed couples, in turn, adopt one of two solutions: parents either apply the one parent – one language strategy (5 couples), or talk to their children in Ukrainian (1 couple). In families who rely on the former principle, in conversations among more household members and among the children themselves the Ukrainian language usually has an advantage. In the case of two Ukrainian couples of Ukrainian-Polish origin, the transmission of the Polish language was discontinued in previous generations: in one case the young participants of the study learned Polish in their childhood from their great-grandmother, in the other – on their own. Children from the presented families (with the exception of the family from Nyzhankovychi near Dobromyl) attended Polish Saturday schools; they also take part in the life of the local Roman Catholic parishes.The interviews and observations lead to the conclusion that the oldest people play a very important role in the transmission of Polish to next generations, especially in three-generation families living in the same household. Close relations between grandchildren and their Polish grandparents strengthen the position of the Polish language in everyday communication and foster their positive emotional attitude to the language.The study also confirms that most young people of Polish descent have a positive attitude towards emigration to Poland, which stems from difficult economic and political situation in Ukraine. The position of the Polish language is twofold: it is associated with the tradition and past of one’s own family on the one hand, and with the future on the other. Polszczyzna w transmisji międzypokoleniowej w rodzinach jednolitych i mieszanych we LwowskiemCelem artykułu jest analiza uwarunkowań transmisji międzypokoleniowej języka polskiego w małżeństwach jednolitych oraz mieszanych w Samborze i Dobromilu na Ukrainie. W badaniu wzięło udział 21 rodzin: 13 małżeństw polskich, 6 polsko-ukraińskich i 2 ukraińskie o ukraińsko-polskim pochodzeniu. Na potrzeby opracowania wykorzystano cztery warstwy danych: po pierwsze – wywiady częściowo standaryzowane (ustrukturyzowane) oraz swobodne rozmowy z dziećmi i młodzieżą z każdej rodziny (7–25 lat), po drugie – z rodzicami i dziadkami, po trzecie – obserwacje życia codziennego rodzin, i dodatkowo – wywiady z sąsiadami i znajomymi opisywanych rodzin. Na bazę analizowanych nagrań audio składają się rozmowy z 92 respondentami (około 120 godzin).Zestawienie pokazuje, że w rodzinach polskich językiem domowym jest polski. W małżeństwach mieszanych wprowadzono jedno z dwóch rozwiązań. Rodzice albo stosują strategię jeden rodzic – jeden język (5 par), albo rozmawiają z dziećmi po ukraińsku (1 para). W małżeństwach wykorzystujących zasadę jeden rodzic – jeden język, we wspólnych rozmowach domowników, w tym dzieci między sobą, z reguły przewagę zyskuje język ukraiński. W wypadku małżeństw ukraińskich, transmisja języka polskiego została przerwana w poprzednich generacjach. Młodzi uczestnicy badania nauczyli się języka polskiego: w jednej rodzinie – w dzieciństwie od prababci, w drugiej – samodzielnie. Dzieci z przedstawianych rodzin (za wyjątkiem rodziny z Niżankowic pod Dobromilem) uczyły się w polskich szkołach sobotnich. Łączy je też udział w życiu miejscowych parafii rzymskokatolickich.Wywiady i obserwacje prowadzą do wniosku, że bardzo ważną rolę w przekazie polszczyzny następnym pokoleniom odgrywają seniorzy, zwłaszcza w mieszkających razem rodzinach trójpokoleniowych. Bliskie kontakty wnuków z dziadkami-Polakami wzmacniają pozycję języka polskiego w codziennej komunikacji, wpływają też na pozytywny emocjonalny stosunek dzieci do tego języka.Badania potwierdzają ponadto, że wśród młodzieży polskiego pochodzenia utrzymuje się orientacja emigracyjna (wyjazdy na studia i do pracy do Polski), na co ma wpływ trudna sytuacja gospodarcza i polityczna na Ukrainie. Pozycja języka polskiego jest dwojaka: z jednej strony jest kojarzony z tradycją i przeszłością własnej rodziny, z drugiej – z przyszłością.

Starting with version 3.4 of Moodle, it has been possible to build educational ML models using predefined indicators in the Analytics API. These models can be used primarily to identify students at risk of failure. Our research shows that the goodness and predictability of models built using predefined core indicators in the API lags far behind the generally acceptable level. Moodle is an open-source system, which on the one hand allows the analysis of algorithms, and on the oth-er hand its modification and further development. Utilizing the openness of the system, we examined the calculation algorithm of the core indicators, and then, based on the experience, we built new models with our own indicators. Our re-sults show that the goodness of models built on a given course can be significant-ly improved. In the article, we discuss the development process in detail and pre-sent the results achieved.

Abstract The present article attempts to describe the social evolution of the community of Vershina, a village founded in the beginning of the 20th century by voluntary settlers from Little Poland, from a cultural island to the stage of assimilation. The social, economic, cultural, political and language situation of the community changed several times. The most significant historical moments of Russia and the Soviet Union set the borders of three main periods in Vershina’s history. During its first two-three decades Vershina consisted a homogenous Polish cultural and language island. The migrants preserved the Roman Catholic religion, Polish language and traditions as well as farming methods and machines. Collectivization and the communist system with its repressions made the Polish village assimilate to its surroundings. With the flow of time, the generation of first settlers died and some of the traditions of Little Poland vanished or got modified by the elements of the Soviet, Russian or Buryat culture. After the Perestroika the minorities gained some rights, which strengthened in the 1990s. Thanks, to the political changes and the collapse of the SU the inhabitants of Vershina can found cultural organisations, cultivate their religion, and learn Polish in local schools. However, in spite of the regained rights, over the decades of mass sovietization and ateization, the culture and customs of the Polish community became similar to other Siberian villages. Young people from the group of our interest abandon their mother language and are not eager to leave Russia and move to Poland. The process of assimilation is intensifying while there are practically no factors protecting the local culture and language.

Two aspects of Schumpeter' legacy are analyzed in the article. On the one hand, he can be viewed as the custodian of the neoclassical harvest supplementing to its stock of inherited knowledge. On the other hand, the innovative character of his works is emphasized that allows to consider him a proponent of hetherodoxy. It is stressed that Schumpeter's revolutionary challenge can lead to radical changes in modern economics.
