Abstract This study aims to compare employee perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practice incomes and outcomes in the construction industry in Poland and Germany. It proposes a model that examines the influence of stakeholder pressure, culture, and CSR practices on company brand performance, reputation, and employee identification. The findings suggest that the structure of relationships varies for project‐managed construction companies in a developed country such as Germany and a rapidly transformed Poland. The structural equation modeling method was adopted to analyze the differences between the structures of relationships using AMOS and Process software. The key finding reveals that stakeholder pressure can lead to consistent CSR‐oriented system in the business environment. This study was first conducted in 2018 and then replicated in 2019 to confirm the results with 1,674 cases. The novelty essence is the comparison of the Polish and German structure of CSR practice incomes and outcomes related to employee perception.

Guidelines on cardiovascular prevention from the European Society of Cardiology advocate sustained educational measures to be undertaken by both doctors and nurses to ensure lifestyle changes for patients after acute coronary syndromes (ACS). A planned programme of a series of educational meetings for patients after ACS was initiated in form of the Patient Club. To assess the efficacy of the Patient Club initiative in terms of increased knowledge on cardiovascular risk factors as well as utilisation of healthy lifestyle in patents who attend the programme. Patients in nine cardiology centres in Poland, who were treated for ACS between October and December 2014, were included. A dedicated questionnaire on healthy lifestyle and knowledge on cardiovascular risk factors was filled in by patients at hospital discharge. In January 2015 the same questionnaire was filled in by the same group of patients before their local Patient Club meeting. There were 1273 patients hospitalised for ACS who were invited to join the Patient Club initiative. Of them, 372 (29%) filled in the questionnaire both at discharge and at the Patient Club meeting. The percentage of patients who smoked cigarettes decreased from 14% to 5% (p < 0.001), and the number of those who had at least 30 min of physical activity daily increased from 50% to 58% (p = 0.015). Patients who attended Patient Club meetings usually four weeks after ACS showed significant benefit in terms of healthy lifestyle changes and more guideline-recommended management of cardiovascular risk factors.

An upright posture is a dynamic motion process, the stability of which depends on how the centre of gravity is projected onto the base of support. One of the basic external manifestations of this function is the dimensional symmetry of vectorial, angular and amplitudinal motion determinants. The nervous system, in its reaction to pain or to developed anatomical alterations (e.g. the shortening of a limb), strives to correct the body structure symmetry and its dynamic parameters, hence the asymmetry determiner of a feature related to a foci of pain or dysfunction may be used indirectly and directly to achieve a clinical quantitative evaluation. The aim of the study was to perform a comparative evaluation of the symmetry of standard densitometric parameters of the pelvic joints in relation to determinants of the pelvis x1-6 and lower body limbs, as well as to the difference in length of the lower limbs and symmetry of the shoulder girdle muscle structure determiners y1-3 in selected pain conditions. Following a radiogram analysis of selected patient groups, a high correlation of y1-3 asymmetry determiners in relation to the difference in length between the lower limbs and to the x1-6 asymmetry determiners was observed. The study showed only a slight correlation with the asymmetry of densitometric parameters of the hips evaluated using a DXA absorption meter.
