Summary The article provides an overview of the design of identities, predominantly based on the level of the individual. The purpose of this article was to identify the ethnic identity of informants, using the aspect of language choices as an instrument of linguistic identity, as well as to look at the causes of linguistic identity choices, the functions of ethnic identity from the point of view of the informant and the reasons for changing the identity over time or for consciously changing or maintaining it. It is well known that in today’s world of ever-weakening national borders, multiculturalism and multilingualism are a common phenomenon. There have been no arguments for a long time over whether one has to learn several languages, or any doubts whether we should be even a little bit familiar with the culture of people from other nationalities living next to us. At the same time, multiculturalism brings along challenges and sometimes also tensions (Muldma, 2009). Self-determination, or identity, can mean all aspects of oneself, such as appearance, personality, abilities, gender, and ethnic groups. In the case of ethnic identity, it has been observed along with growing, the perceptions of children change over time. Awareness of one’s nationality develops with awareness of others (Smith et al., 2008, p. 195). People’s attitudes and values are largely developed in childhood, and we need time to get adjusted to everything new, all changes need internal management of the person – and some major changes need the intervention of the society. The method used to conduct the research was written interviews.

Over the years, employee opinion surveys have evolved in their use and how they are conducted. A major advancement has been the use of linkage analyses, whereby employee attitudes at a unit level are statistically related to other important organizational outcomes. A more recent development has been linkage analyses at the individual level and over time. In order to carry out these types of analyses, “identified surveys” must be used—surveys that retain identifying information on each survey respondent in order to link with other individual-level variables over time. The purpose of this article is to open up a discussion on identified surveys, describe under what circumstances they may be uniquely beneficial, and highlight potential concerns with them. We close with proposed guidelines for professional practice and recommend that our profession have a point of view on identified surveys for ourselves and to advise others.

Great Simplicity

The following communication is not an original paper, but the summary of an article published by the author in collaboration with H. Zimmermann in theBulletin de l'Association des Actuaires Suisses, L, pt. 2 (1950). As the method of reserve calculation by grouping described below assumes a fundamentally new point of view and combines substantial advantages with great simplicity, it may, however, interest those actuaries who have no access to the original paper.As is well known the individual valuation of every single policy, even for a medium-sized portfolio, is a long and arduous task. Therefore different methods for the valuation of policies grouped in certain ways have been in use for a long time. In this respect it is possible to distinguish methods giving the exact total of the individual reserves (e.g. the so-called Altenburger or Karup or valuation constant method) and those leading to approximate results (e.g. the Lidstone or Z-method). But most group methods have the evident disadvantage of a grouping which is in other respects inappropriate for the classification of the individual policy within the portfolio. Thus, in the valuation constant method, groups of equal age attained have to be formed, and the Z-method requires groups of the same remaining term. Yet one would much prefer a grouping which necessitates no sorting of the policies contrary to their natural grouping. Thus the putting together of all policies with the same year of entry for the purpose of collective reserve calculation is in some way a natural manner of grouping, and this was the procedure used in thet-method formerly proposed by the author.

The process of globalization have a profound effect on the economy and politics of all countries, as well as on national cultural aspects. This process is changing the inner and outer nature of every nation. The changing world as a result of globalization, the individual, the problems that arise in the life of every nation as a result of its influence; news about what is happening; one of the most important tasks of literary criticism is the reflection of the contemporary image of those who are in search of solutions to their problems, from one side, in the literacy literature, from the other side, in the literacy process, from the scientific point of view. Although works of art are created in a particular language, over time, they also “move” to other languages, inviting different nations to kindness and mutual love. For the original works of literature, time and place cannot be maintained. For them, religious beliefs and boundaries between countries can never be the “Great Chinese Wall” because they embodied the divine miracle power of the word.

The emergence of autoimage in the framework of media biography and technology developmentThe article deals with the phenomenon of “shifting baselines” in the field of media reality, looking exemplary at the process of the emergence of image concerning persons working in science. Due to the dynamic change of the structure of media offers and media technology in the last decades, manners of researching and finding information have been changing for a long time. In a broader but the same framework, change concerns also media biographies — the apparently individual CV concerning the moment of first contact, knowledge about, ways of use and attitudes to media offers and media technology, that this CV is however interdependent with the belonging to a certain generation. The described development has an effect on the process of construction/emergence of social-communicational reality, world views and other — we are dealing with the phenomenon of “shifting baselines” — the changing of fundamental ideas that build the basis for observing the world from the point of view of the individual. The text looks into those issues by means of an exemplary analysis of empiric material, showing a certain problem that deserves further and broader investigation.

The purpose of this article is to describe a broader concept of the psychosocial work environment, a concept that not only is limited to the individual and her immediate environment but also takes into account a broader context that includes production technology as well as work organization and learning. Based on examples from Sweden, we discuss concepts and approaches to psychosocial work environment and how these have changed over time (e.g., how knowledge about the psychosocial work environment is used to understand and discuss health, management, and development—for individuals, groups, and organizations). The knowledge presented is not new; it has been around a long time. The title of the article—One Hundred Years of Inertia—shows some impatience on the part of its authors given that the pace of change in the work environment has not always been great.

Questioning the social spiral deriving from participation has flared up the debate regarding the place it occupies in contemporary democracies. It does not seem possible to deny the evidence that many studies have pointed to regarding the political attitudes associated with institutionalised participation (associations). But we question in this study the fact that the whole participation phenomenon is equated with that type of participation. Our paper compares different ways of participation in a sample of European countries to, first, analyse the activities that can be linked to each form of participation and whether it can be held that they are different from the point of view of the individual. Second, we analyse the attitudes that lead individuals to choose one option over the other. We conclude that for individuals the different forms of participation are different forms of political engagement. Our study shows an evolution in non-institutional forms of participation over time that is difficult to ignore, from being expressions bordering illegality to taking them as normalised tools for citizens. We could now start to consider them from the point of view of the implications they have for democracy as a different way to exercise political influence.

Chilean Pacific jack mackerel (Nichols, 1920) fishery yields about 90% of the Eastern South Pacific catch. The Southern Central region is the one that concentrates the major abundance of this resource. The objective of this study is to test which of the regulation fishery systems is the most efficient for this fishery from a bioeconomic approach. Based on catch and effort data, the behaviour of the T. murphy stock and the fishing fleet was simulated over time under three regulatory scenarios: open access, total allowable catch and individual transferable quotas. The behaviour of the fish stock, and the dynamics of fishing vessels coming in and going out over time from the fishery, were represented by equations of the model. The results indicate that when the fishery operates in open access, the biomass and economics benefit diminished, whereas the number of fishing vessels increased (mostly small and middle-sized ones). Upon imposing the total allowable catch, biomass increased and maintained over time, while the size fleet decreased (middle-sized and large vessels). Within the individual transferable quotas view, the fish stock behaves in a similar way to the total allowable catch measure. However, significant differences in terms of fleet size (reduction of only 10% of the initial size), as well as structure (remaining only large vessels in operation) and economic profits obtained (maximum in this regulation), arise from this framework modelling. In conclusion, from the fishery bioecomic point of view the individual transferable quotas was the best management scenario for the Southern Pacific Jack Mackerel.

Controlling the collective memory. A multitude of propaganda voices on the Polish-Soviet War 1919–1921The author of the article discusses the creation — in three successive historical periods — of the image of the 1919–1920 war between the Second Polish Republic and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, referred to as the Polish-Soviet War, Polish-Bolshevik War, Polish-Russian War, 1920 War. The name, description and opinion about the war — in the Second Polish Republic, in the Polish People’s Republic and in Poland today — depends on propaganda objectives, current politics and attitude to Poland’s eastern neighbour. The image of the war of 1919–1921 is highly ideologised, as is evidenced by the choice of words and metaphors used to provoke emotions, to provide strong value judgements with regard to the enemy and thus to control society’s behaviour as well as create myths and stereotypes which are kept in the collective memory for a long time. The history of this armed conflict has been and still is written under the pressure of various ideologies and propaganda strategies. The aim of the article is to demonstrate that the image of wars in verbal accounts history textbooks, historical monographs, literary works, oral histories etc. and visual accounts paintings, films etc. depends on the historical context, socio-political determinants as well as the point of view of the individual creating the narrative of a given event. The shaping of collective memory is always accompanied by value judgements, selection of events and strong emotions.

Narratives of ethnic identity and language among young Pannonian Ruthenians in SerbiaThis article offers a study of narratives of ethnic identity among young Ruthenians in Serbia. The analysed data comes from in-depth interviews and questionnaires conducted in 2016 with nine informants studying at the University of Novi Sad. The narrative approach has proven to be most suitable, especially when trying to understand the individual perspective of one’s ethnic and linguistic identity. In order to understand Ruthenians as an ethnic minority in Serbia, the study also provides a brief overview of the historical context, including information on Ruthenian migration from Transcarpathia to Vojvodina in the eighteenth century, their strategic positioning towards the nation states they have lived in, their Greek-Catholic denomination as a factor distinguishing them from other ethnic communities, as well as the intersubjective understanding of their ethnic identity. Vojvodina, the northern region of Serbia, where they live, is a multicultural and multi-confessional province, which has proven to be both an opportunity and a challenge for this community. The historical overview also presents how they have obtained their minority rights since their migration to the region. Narracje tożsamości etnicznej i języka wśród młodych Rusinów Panońskich w SerbiiNiniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest narracjom tożsamości etnicznej wśród młodych Rusinów w Serbii. Analizowane dane pochodzą z wywiadów pogłębionych i badań kwestionariuszowych przeprowadzonych w roku 2016 wśród dziewięciorga rozmówców studiujących na Uniwersytecie w Nowym Sadzie. Podejście narracyjne zostało wybrane jako najwygodniejsze do zbadania osobistych spojrzeń na własną tożsamość etniczną i językową. Aby pomóc w zrozumieniu położenia Rusinów jako mniejszości etnicznej w Serbii, praca przedstawia również w zwięzły sposób kontekst historyczny, w tym informacje o migracji Rusinów z Zakarpacia do Wojwodiny w XVIII wieku, strategie ich funkcjonowania w państwach narodowych, na obszarze których zamieszkiwali, grekokatolicką identyfikację religijną, stanowiącą czynnik odróżniający ich od innych miejscowych społeczności, oraz indywidualne sposoby rozumienia tożsamości etnicznej. Położona w północnej Serbii Wojwodina to region wielokulturowy i wielowyznaniowy, co przynosi rusińskiej wspólnocie zarówno trudności, jak i korzyści. Zawarte w artykule spojrzenie na historię ukazuje ponadto proces zdobywania praw mniejszości przez Rusinów po ich migracji do obecnego miejsca zamieszkania.

A description of two cases from my time as a school psychologist in the middle of the 1950s forms the background to the following question: Has anything important happened since then in psychological research to help us to a better understanding of how and why individuals think, feel, act, and react as they do in real life and how they develop over time? The studies serve as a background for some general propositions about the nature of the phenomena that concerns us in developmental research, for a summary description of the developments in psychological research over the last 40 years as I see them, and for some suggestions about future directions.
