Polish as a heritage language around the world : selected diaspora communities
Romanowski, Piotr; Seretny, Anna
Polish as a Heritage Language Around the World provides a timely insight into Polish diaspora communities around the world and their endeavours in heritage language maintenance and education. This edited collection depicts and analyses the unique challenges associated with the intergenerational transmission of Polish as a language that has not had high visibility and status in the surrounding society. Chapters within the volume examine how these circumstances impact the maintenance of the heritage language and affect the capacity to support biliteracy development among younger generations of speakers. Offering an overview of key concepts and theoretical issues, practical pedagogical guidance, and field‑advancing suggestions for further research, Polish as a Heritage Language Around the World will be of interest to researchers and instructors of Polish around the world, as well as those interested in second‑language acquisition and heritage language studies.DOI: 10.4324/9781003401995

Corporate Social Responsibility and the supply chain : CSR collaboration with suppliers
Jedynak, Monika
Due to the growing importance of global interdependencies, corporate social responsibility has become an important issue both for the business and the entire society. Customers expect corporate social responsibility, and if an organization is insensitive to these issues, it runs the risk of losing its key customers. The interaction and integration of corporate social responsibility and supply chain management have led to the emergence of sustainable supply chain management. This book is a comprehensive study that deals with the subject of collaboration with suppliers, considering the CSR guidelines. It presents new research about suppliers, their importance in supply chains, and in the context of social responsibility and acts as a new source of content that fills the gap in this area. It may be of interest to researchers interested in CSR as well as supply chains, business relations, and, broadly understood, collaboration. It provides knowledge to many recipients including scientists and researchers, advanced students, and graduates.DOI: 10.4324/9781003451228

Conspiracist tropes in Rodrigo Duterte's populistic rhetoric
Czech, Franciszek
The chapter examines links between populism and conspiracy theories in the rhetoric of Rodrigo Duterte, the former president of the Philippines. In the first part, populist traditions and tendencies in the Philippines are outlined and the sources of their popularity are examined. Subsequently, Dutertismo, or Duterte’s rhetoric, is discussed as “hybrid populism,” which blends various anti-elitist ideas and cannot be classified as simply right- or left-wing populism. Further, the chapter explores conspiracist tropes in Rodrigo Duterte’s populist rhetoric. The analysis allows us to identify elements of globally well-known conspiracist motives that are modified to fit a specific Philippine context. In conclusion, three main functions of Duterte’s conspiracist populist rhetoric are identified: mobilization, securitization, and dismantling of criticism.DOI: 10.4324/9781003474272-12

Bringing it all together : the maintenance of the Polish language outside of Poland
Seretny, Anna; Romanowski, Piotr
Regardless of the reasons that are forcing or encouraging people to leave their homeland and settle down outside its borders, emigration as a phenomenon opens up a broad field for historical, political, and (socio)linguistic research revolving around many issues such as language transmission and maintenance, language shift, the relation between language and identity, language policy and planning, child/adult bilingualism and many others.DOI: 10.4324/9781003401995-17

Industrial clusters in international value chains : conceptual advancement and empirical evidence from European ICT clusters
Bohatkiewicz-Czaicka, Joanna; Gancarczyk, Marta
Clusters are considered crucial nodes in the ongoing transformation of international value chains (IVCs). Due to technological advancements and external shocks, such as pandemic and political conflicts, value chains (VCs) have been spatially and functionally shortening, and clusters are well suited to address the resulting demand for more diversified and higher value-adding activities in geographical proximity, such as European economic area. However, clusters differ in their positions and capability to advance in IVCs, which induces the research problem of the conditions for cluster upgrading (CU). This monograph aims to develop a theoretical framework for regional CU and empirically verify this framework based on ICT clusters in Europe. It advances the theory of upgrading by linking the VC governance and capability approaches, broadening the empirical evidence on the conditions of CU, and providing policy recommendations. The unique value of the findings from research and practice results in the identification of the determinants for CU and conceptualizes them into new theoretical constructs of the sufficient Framework Conditions and the necessary and sufficient Public-Private Knowledge Governance. Our empirical basis are European clusters in ICT, an industry being one of the Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) for innovation and VC transformation.DOI: 10.4324/9781003494423

Romanowski, Piotr; Seretny, Anna
This edited volume titled “Polish as a Heritage Language around the World: Selected Diaspora Communities” depicts Polish migrant communities scattered around the world and their endeavours in heritage language use, maintenance, and education. Diaspora communities are formed as a result of migration movements, which are motivated by economic, political, educational, and professional reasons. They face particular issues and challenges in supporting the intergenerational transmission of their heritage language through language maintenance and heritage language education initiatives, especially when the language involved is not one that has high visibility and status in the surrounding society (Romanowski, 2021). Therefore, when the language in question is of a lesser international status, with a comparatively smaller source community/culture less resourced or less willing to assist its diaspora in such efforts, how does this impact the maintenance of the heritage language and affect the capacity to support biliteracy development among younger generations of speakers? This is the overarching question to be addressed in the present volume in the context of the Polish language.DOI: 10.4324/9781003401995-1

Functional suppression of a yeast maf1 deletion mutant by overdose of the N-terminal fragment of the largest RNA polymerase III subunit, C160
Łopusinska, Aleksandra; Farhat, Malak; Cieśla, Małgorzata
Maf1 is a general and global negative regulator of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcription. Under repressive conditions, Maf1 binds directly to the Pol III complex and sequesters Pol III elements that are involved in transcription initiation. To further understand Pol III regulation, we searched for genetic bypass suppressors of a maf1 deletion mutant (maf1Δ) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Strains that carried maf1Δ were temperature-sensitive on media that contained nonfermentable carbon sources and showed the antisuppressor phenotype. Suppressors allowed colonies to grow at the restrictive temperature on glycerol media and partially complemented the antisuppressor phenotype of maf1Δ. DNA plasmids that were identified as overdose suppressors encoded Nterminal fragments of the largest Pol III subunit, C160 of various lengths. The shortest fragment, 372 amino acids long, the overdose of which partially complemented the antisuppressor phenotype and temperature-sensitive respiratory growth of maf1Δ, was named C160-NTF. In this study, we showed that the expression of HAtagged C160-NTF resulted in accumulation of approximately 40 kDa protein that was distributed throughout the yeast cell, in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The overdose of C160-NTF led to decrease of tRNA transcription in maf1Δ mutant cells, demonstrating functional suppression. Levels of newly synthesized individual tRNAs and Pol III occupancies on tRNA genes were decreased by C160-NTF in the maf1Δ mutant. Additionally, we analyzed the effect of C160-NTF overproduction and the presence of Maf1 on the associations among Pol III subunits. Previous structural analyzes of Pol III have indicated that the N-terminal region of C160 interacts with the C82-34-31 heterotrimeric Pol III subcomplex. We suggest that the negative effect of C160-NTF overdose on tRNA transcription is related to defective Pol III assembly, because overproduction of C160-NTF altered C160 interactions with C34 and C82 in the maf1Δ mutant.
