Uma concepção minimalista e garantista da presunção de inocência
Authors: Ferrer Beltrán Jordi
Published: March 2018

O artigo visa abordar as múltiplas facetas que a presunção de inocência incorpora nos modernos sistemas jurídicos desde uma perspectiva crítica. Neste sentido, a partir de uma metodologia analítica busca-se demonstrar que algumas dessas facetas se sobrepõem a outros direitos e institutos jurídicos o que, finalmente, longe de aumentar as garantias dos cidadãos, chega a produzir confusão e falta de controlabilidade das decisões judiciais. Assim, defende-se a conveniência conceitual e prática de se pensar a presunção de inocência evitando sobreposições com outros direitos ou conceitos jurídicos; como standards de prova ou ônus da prova. Daí a referência a uma concepção minimalista e garantista da presunção de inocência e, como será possível ver, a defesa da presunção de inocência como uma regra de segunda ordem cuja aplicação cobraria sentido em contextos de incerteza sobre a satisfação do standard de prova.
Pueblo, revolución y violencia. Las reactualizaciones revolucionarias del populismo
Authors: Slipak Daniela , Giménez Sebastián R
Published: March 2018

En el presente trabajo se propone analizar los procesos de resignificación identitaria llevados a cabo por agrupaciones que asociaron la reivindicación de los populismos a consignas “revolucionarias” y que consideraron el uso de la violencia como un modo legítimo de intervenir en la escena pública. Para ello, se estudiaron los casos de Fuerza de Orientación Radical de la Joven Argentina (forja) y Montoneros, los cuales tuvieron lugar en distintos momentos de la historia argentina. El análisis de ambas experiencias desde una perspectiva comparada permite vislumbrar cómo los rasgos específicos de la matriz populista, sus oscilaciones y tensiones, tienden a rigidizarse en las reapropiaciones “revolucionarias” de su tradición

HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PERCEIVE RUNNING A BUSINESS – SELECTED ASPECTS
Authors: Bieńkowska-Gołasa Wioletta
Published: March 2018

Nowadays when the knowledge-based economy is being built, running a business plays a significant role. A society in which entrepreneurial activities are taken up is the base for creating a modern and competitive economy. Forming an entrepreneurial society causes a situation in which setting up and running one’s own company concerns a considerable part of citizens and each social group. The article was to present students’ views on setting up and running their own business. Students’ opinions were gathered by means of the method of diagnostic survey with the use of the technique of a standardized questionnaire. The outcomes of the study reveal that the respondents have a high willingness to take entrepreneurial actions (57.1%). Only 16.5% of them do not plan such an undertaking.
MODERNIZING POLISH AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS TEACHING AND RESEARCH: AN EVALUATION OF ACADEMIC COOPERATION
Authors: Dalton Graham , Heijman Willem , Majewski Edward
Published: March 2018

Twenty-five years ago in response to the collapse of communism in Poland, an academic consortium was formed around two Polish Universities of Life Sciences (formerly Universities of Agriculture) for a Tempus project. The consortium has expanded from a project to revise curricula in agricultural economics within a market economy to much wider educational and research interests. The consortium’s main achievement has been in the organisation and accreditation of MBA programmes which has subsequently been augmented by a network for other educational and research programmes in a number of countries (AGRIMBA). This article explores the social net benefits of this example of investment in human capital relying on the concepts laid down by the Nobel Prize winners Theodore Schulz and Gary Becker.

LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WAGES AND LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY IN AGRICULTURAL AND MANUFACTURING SECTOR IN POLAND
Authors: Ferens Ewa
Published: March 2018

This paper investigates the long-term relationship between labour productivity and real wages in agricultural and manufacturing sector in Poland in the years 1991–2016. In order to establish the long-run dynamics, autoregressive distributed lag framework (ARDL) is applied. Long run causality running from labour productivity to wages in both sectors is confirmed. The yearly speed of adjustment following change in labour productivity is smaller in agricultural than in manufacturing sector and amounts 24 and 37% respectively. Increase of 1% in labour productivity leads to 0.4% higher wages in agriculture, and to 0.64% higher wages in manufacture.
IMPACT OF FOOD INDUSTRY MARKUPS ON SECTORIAL BUSINESS CYCLE AND FOOD INFLATION IN POLAND
Authors: Figiel Szczepan , Hamulczuk Mariusz , Kufel-Gajda Justyna
Published: March 2018

The main goal of this paper was to examine relationships between markups, output, and food inflation in the Polish food sector in the period 2000–2013. Levels of the monopolistic markups were calculated as an inversed labor share in the output value with a modification regarding overhead labor, whereas value of production was used as an indicator of sectorial business cycle. In order to analyze the relationships in question such methods as cross-correlations, Granger test, and VAR analysis were employed. It turned out that markups have behaved procyclically regarding the sectorial business cycle, and can be regarded as a lagged indicator for output and as a predictor for food inflation. A positive impact of the markups on the food inflation is likely to be one of the reasons for relatively weak joint changes of output and inflation, what may affect responses of the Polish economy to the monetary policy measures.
ECONOMIC ROLE OF AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVENESS IN POLAND FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CHANGES IN THE FOOD CHAIN
Authors: Gołębiewski Jarosław , Drejerska Nina
Published: March 2018

A food supply chain integrates three important economic sectors: agriculture, food processing, and distribution sectors. Integration processes are one out of different ways of efficiency’s improvement of supply chains; they are also the key challenges of contemporary management in the global economy. Common activities of partners in a supply chain can take different forms, starting from general agreements in supply operations, common forecasting and planning of production to cooperation in the field of design and implementation of new products. The aim of the study is to investigate an economic role of agricultural cooperatives in Poland from a perspective of changes in food supply chains. In order to realize it, data of the General Agricultural Census 2010, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as well as the ranking of the top 500 companies in Poland by “Rzeczpospolita” (2017, 19th edition) were applied. Research results show that a significant number of cooperatives stopped their activities or limited their scale or range after 1989. However, some cooperatives have been developing and as for example dairy cooperatives belong to the top 500 companies in the Polish economy. There is also an increasing trend of establishment of agricultural producer groups, often in a form of cooperatives, that have been observed recently.
INNOVATION ACTIVITIES OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES IN POLAND IN THE LIGHT OF PUBLIC STATISTICS
Authors: Grzelak Maria , Cika Nertila , Roszko-Wójtowicz Elżbieta
Published: March 2018

Intensive promotion of innovative activities, especially in companies, has forced the creation of international monitoring systems. In Poland, the Central Statistical Office [GUS] and the Statistical Office [US] in Szczecin are currently investigating statistical innovations. The article attempts to evaluate the innovative activity of industrial enterprises in Poland in 2005–2015. Attempts were made to answer the following questions: have the innovative activity of industrial enterprises increased in the period of Poland’s full membership in the EU structures, what are the effects of this activity, or are there visible trends in growth? The results of the research on the innovative activity of industrial enterprises in Poland, implemented in accordance with the Oslo methodology under the Community Innovation Survey (CIS), were used to achieve this objective. The level of enterprise innovation in Poland is lower than in most EU countries. Improving the performance of innovation requires, on the one hand, greater involvement of enterprises and, on the other hand, public sector support, which plays a key role in creating the right knowledge and skills.
SPATIAL CONCENTRATION OF BUSINESSES WITH FOREIGN CAPITAL IN THE CAPITAL CITIES OF THE POLISH VOIVODESHIPS AND THEIR AGGLOMERATIONS FROM 1995–2016
Authors: Kisiel Roman , Krajewska Anna , Nazarczuk Jarosław
Published: March 2018

Foreign investments play an important role in fostering local development. This article is aimed at evaluating the inflow of FDIs to the capital cities of the Polish voivodeships in 1995–2016 and their closest agglomerations. Data on the number of businesses with foreign capital used in this article originate from the Local Data Bank of the Polish Central Statistical Office. To capture a spatial concentration of businesses with foreign capital and its change from 1995–2016, a method used in analysing regional convergence, among others, was employed. The spatial distribution of FDIs in relation to the capital cities of the Polish voivodeships was analysed using Quantum GIS software and calculations in STATA 14. Conclusions arrived at showed a divergence in the number of FDIs in communes and municipalities in Poland from 1995–2016 as well as a diverse spatial pattern of FDI locations in relation to the capital city of the voivodeship.
FUTURE PROGRESSIVE: THE NEED FOR A PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATE – AN INTERNATIONAL DOCTOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Authors: Kowalski Robert
Published: March 2018

The purpose of Higher Education is increasingly under scrutiny as are its previous shortcomings. The last bastion of academic hegemony, the PhD, is being reconstructed, moving from a discipline focused degree intended to extend abstract, universal knowledge through the presentation of a thesis towards an emphasis upon the development of the skills of the researcher. Furthermore, the recognition that knowledge can be generated in realms other than academia has concurrently seen the emergence of Practitioner Doctorates, based upon Action Research, that are designed to develop researching professionals. The paper poses the question whether it is appropriate to extend the model developed for an International Master of Business Administration into the provision of an International Doctor of Business Administration?
PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES IN POLAND IN 2015 (REGIONAL STUDY)
Authors: Kukuła Karol
Published: March 2018

The author of the article sets out to perform two tasks. The first is an attempt to present the construction techniques of a ranking of items (in this case – voivodships) in terms of the level of a complex phenomenon, and then to present a method of division of items into groups with similar values of the synthetic variable. The second goal is to present the condition of pro-environmental activities in Poland in 2015 in the regional system. In order to implement this objective, diagnostic variables have been selected, describing the condition of activities for environmental protection. Based on the following criteria: substantive and sufficient variability, 11 diagnostic features have been selected. These variables constitute the basis for multiple criteria evaluation of a complex phenomenon (pro-environmental activities). Based on the described procedures, a ranking of voivodeships has been created on the basis of the status of pro-environmental activities in Poland. The set of items (voivodships) has been divided into 3 groups: group I – voivodships with a high level of pro-environmental activities, group II – voivodships with an average level, and group III with a relatively low level. The quantitative proportions of voivodships in particular groups are as follows, respectively: 4 : 6 : 6.
DIFFERENCES IN INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS FOR MEN AND WOMEN IN POLAND – AN ANALYSIS USING DECOMPOSITION TECHNIQUES
Authors: Landmesser Joanna
Published: March 2018

In the paper, we compare income distributions in Poland, taking into account gender differences. The gender pay gap can only be partially explained by differences in men’s and women’s characteristics. The unexplained part of the gap is usually attributed to the wage discrimination. The objective of the study is to extend the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition procedure to different quantile points along the income distribution. We utilize such decomposition methods as the residual imputation approach, the reweighting approach and the RIF-regression method to describe differences between the incomes of men and women along the two distributions. We evaluate the strength of the influence of personal characteristics onto the various parts of the income distributions. The analysis is based on data from the EU-SILC data for Poland in 2014.
ORGANIC FARMING IN POLAND IN THE LIGHT OF MULTIVARIATE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Luty Lidia
Published: March 2018

Organic farming is an environmentally-friendly production system, which has been dynamically developing since 2004. The study attempts to conduct a spatial assessment of the development of this management method. The analysis covered data at the level of voivodships, originating from GIJHARS1 and from the Central Statistical Office (GUS) from 2014, concerning producers respecting the production in the environmentally-friendly system. They include characteristics such as: average surface area, proportion of the area of arable lands, number of processing plants, production volume of: milk, cereals, vegetables, and fruit. The analysis uses the method of linear ordering of a set of objects, based on the created synthetic variable. The results of the study suggest that Polish voivodships are generally characterised by an average or low level of development of organic farming. A positive phenomenon is observed in the fact that organic farming develops in voivodships with a more fragmented agrarian structure.

EFFECTIVENESS OF CENTRALIZED MECHANISM OF LABOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION – EXPERIMENTAL TESTS
Authors: Pietrych Łukasz
Published: March 2018

In the article the issue of labor resources allocation in the context of the emerging field of economic sciences known as “market design” was discussed. The assumptions for the designed experimental environment were discussed. An experimental variable and variables dependent on it were defined. The main objective of the paper is to develop a matching mechanism for participants in the experiment as a basis for a broader, centralized resource allocation system in the labor market. The study confirmed the hypothesis that fulfilling the assumptions of stable allocations theory improves the matching efficiency in the labor market and thus reduces the frictional unemployment.

CHANGES OF EU COUNTRIES POSITIONS IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF MINERAL FUELS IN 2006–2015
Authors: Staszczak Dariusz
Published: March 2018

This paper analyzes changes of exports, imports and trade balance in mineral fuels, lubricants, and related materials (named fuels in this article) of EU member states in 2006–2015. Fuels are specific commodities because the most of the EU countries are dependent on fuel imports. Moreover, trade balance in fuels is important for EU countries because of its significant importance for trade balance in all goods. Author illustrated a dominating position of net importer of fuels in this period. There were the following most important net importers of fuels in 2015: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria and Poland. In 2006, Germany was also the first net importer but Italy was the second one and France the third one. Poland obtained the ninth position in 2006. Denmark was the EU net exporter of fuels in the researched period. Moreover, trade deficit in fuels of most EU net importers improved, i.e. decreased in 2015 in comparison to the situation in 2006 because of the lower oil prices and undertaking of ecological innovations in production, including the agriculture. In the researched analyzed period, the biggest imports and trade deficits in fuels of the majority of EU countries were in 2008. Such a situation was connected with the third oil shock.
DEVELOPMENT FACTORS FOR CROSS-BORDER B2C E-COMMERCE IN THE WORLD AND IN POLAND
Authors: Strzębicki Dariusz
Published: March 2018

The study attempted to identify the factors determining the development of CBEC B2C e-commerce in the world and in Poland. The level of CBEC development in selected countries has been shown. CBEC is a dynamically developing trading sector in the world. Countries differ in terms of CBEC development, which is due to the varying levels of selection of the products in their internal markets and the economic development of a particular country. CBEC’s worldwide development is also largely due to the international B2C electronic marketplaces. The barriers to the development of CBEC in the world include inadequate regulations to CBEC specificity, problems and costs of logistics and difficulties in conducting online marketing on foreign markets.

The article presents the determinants and directions of changes in food consumption in Poland against the background of other EU countries. Presentation the state of scientific knowledge is a baseline for further considerations. The next chapter includes the determinants of changes in food consumption in the countries of the EU over the last decade. Nextly the economic background in EU countries was presented. The next chapter was dedicated to the food consumption patterns in EU countries. A comparative analysis of food consumption in EU countries indicates that discrepancies remain in the level of economic growth within the European Union. Changes in consumption patterns in EU states are of both a quantitative and qualitative character. The present analysis of transformations in food consumption of Polish households shows that the tendency displayed in the results of previous research continues today.
Home Dental Bleaching Monitored With Microelectronic Sensors to Record the Wearing Times of an Acetate Tray/Bleaching Product
Authors: Pavani CC , Sundfeld D , Schott TC , Bertoz APM , Bigliazzi R , Sundfeld RH
Published: March 2018

The present case study quantifies the clinical wearing time of an acetate tray/bleaching product during home dental bleaching. The patient was instructed to use a 10% carbamide peroxide gel for 6-8 hours each day for 20 days. The wearing time of the tray was measured by a microsensor from TheraMon microelectronic system (Sales Agency Gschladt, Hargelsberg, Austria) completely embedded in the tray so that the clinician would be informed as to the precise time the tray was placed in the mouth. Evaluation of the daily printout during dental bleaching demonstrated that the patient did not correctly follow the clinician's instructions as to the wearing time of the tray. Recording the wearing time of dental bleaching agents can be beneficial for both dental professional and patient to obtain a more effective treatment according to the patient's needs and expectations.

Authors: Alegbeleye Bamindele Johnson , Malikdoko Benjamin
Published: March 2018

Breast lymphomas are quite rare extranodal lymphomas. They constitute a very small percentage of malignant tumors of the breast and a little subset of extranodal lymphomas. We report a case of primary mammary non-Hodgkin lymphoma in an 18 year old lady. FNAC was inconclusive and incisional biopsy confirmed primary breast lymphoma which was diagnosed as the diffuse large B-cell type; Non – Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She has complete disease remission to chemotherapy and also on follow-up. In conclusion, it is mandatory for clinician assessing breast mass to recognize this disease entity as a potential differential diagnosis and to do core biopsy so as to exclude PBL before appropriate treatment.
The effectiveness of telemedicine on stigmatization and treatment burden in patients with health compromising lifestyles and chronic diseases: A critically appraised topic
Authors: Obisike Ebere Ellison
Published: March 2018

Objectives: To conduct a critical appraisal of peer reviewed articles on the effectiveness of telemedicine on stigmatization and treatment burden in patients with health compromising lifestyles and chronic diseases.Methods: This study critically appraised peer-reviewed article on the effectiveness of telemedicine on stigmatization and treatment burden in patients with health compromising lifestyles and chronic diseases. Treatments included e-health interventions, information and communication technologies used in health care, internet-based interventions for diagnosis and treatments that encouraged collaborative care for patients with chronic diseases.  This paper critically appraised the full text of each relevant peer-reviewed article adapting the Occupational Therapy Critically Appraised Topics (CATs) template while using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine- Levels of Evidence (2011) model to assess for best evidence or quality. Results: Initial internet search using Psychinformation; PubMed; Medline; ProQuest; CINAHL; OT seeker and the Cochrane Library generated over 1450 titles/abstracts. Following abstract appraisal, 30 articles were selected for full text assessment. Five of the final articles selected for this critical appraisal alluded to the effectiveness of telemedicine in reducing the treatment burden of stigmatization on patients with chronic diseases. Majority of the appraised articles indicated the effectiveness of telemedicine in changing behaviours.Conclusions: All the appraised articles alluded to the effectiveness of telemedicine in curbing some of the treatment burdens of stigmatization for patients with health compromising lifestyles and chronic diseases. However, it is evident that the use of other intervention methods such as government policy, public education and patient empowerment in conjunction with telemedicine would better reduce the effect of stigmatization and facilitate the medical interventions for patients with chronic diseases.

Infertility is one of the major health concerns in the world whose globally incidence rate is on the rise. Several hormones are effective in this process, such as testosterone, estrogen and Osteocalcin (OCN). The Osteocalcin has Gprc6a receptors on leydig cells, which promotes the production of testosterone when mounted on these receptors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of Osteocalcin on the improvement of spermatogenesis and expression of Gprc6a receptors on leydig cells in the azoospermic mouse model.Twenty-five mice (4 to 6 weeks) were randomly divided into five groups: control, sham I Group that was initially injected by busulfan solvent (DMSO) at 5 weeks old and then by Osteocalcin solvent (PBS) after 5 weeks for one month, azoospermia Group that received busulfan (40 mg/kg/ip) at 5 weeks old. Sham II Group received busulfan 40mg/kg/ipandt hen after 5 weeks received PBS and experimental group, including azoospermic mice, was administered by Osteocalcin (3ng/g/d) for one month. After the last injection, the tests were dissected and then exposed to the tissue passage. To measure morphological changes, H & E staining was performed on a number of sections to measure the diameter of the seminiferous tubule, thickness of the germinal layer, count the spermatogonial cells, spermatocyte, round spermatid, long spermatid, Sertoli, leydigandmyoid cells. Image J software was used to conduct quantitative studies. Immunohistochemical method was employed to examine the expression of the specific receptor of Osteocalcin, Gprc6α, in the Leydig cell among the groups.The H & E staining showed a significant difference in the count the spermatogonial cells, spermatocytes, round spermatids, long spermatids, the thickness of the germ layer, the seminiferous tubule diameter between the studied groups (P<0.05).There was also no significant difference in the count of Sertoli, leydig, myoid cells and seminiferous tubule diameter between the groups (P<0.05). In the immune histochemistry, no significant difference was found in the count of GpRC6α-positive leydig cells between the groups (P< 0.05).According to the current results, the OCN plays an important role in spermatogenesis, which has a positive effect on the count of spermatocytes and spermatids, and can be further explored as an appropriate therapeutic strategy proposed for the infertility.

Published: March 2018

Pendidikan di Indonesia selama ini masih menekankan pemahaman ilmu pengetahuan
dan mengesampingkan nilai-nilai yang sebenarnya wajib disampaikan untuk
membentuk karakter. Proses pembelajaran yang berlangsung dikelas membuat
penyampaian pelajaran dan penanaman nilai sulit dilakukan, dan peserta didik merasa
bosan, kurangnya minat dalam mengikuti pelajaran. Maka dari itu saya mencoba untuk
memberikan alternatif inovasi pendidikan dengan media seni batik untuk membentuk
karakter anak.
Peranan seni batik untuk membentuk karakter positif melalui pengelolaan perubahan
proses belajar mengajar tidak hanya berlangsung didalam kelas yang hanya tertuju pada
penyampaian materi saja. Media seni batik diharapkan dapat menjadi inspirasi oleh
guru-guru di Indonesia sebagai inovasi pendidikan dalam membentuk karakter peserta
didik.

Semakin meningkatnya peristiwa yang terjadi pada bangsa Indonesia, antara lain tingginya tingkat kriminaitas, korupsi, penegakan hukum yang jauh dari keadilan, dan terorisme. Menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia mengalami krisis etika dan krisis kepercayaan diri. Berdasarkan kenyataan tersebut, pendidikan nilai moral memang sangat diperlukan pada bangsa ini. Pelaksanaan pendidikan muatan lokal mampu membangun karakter bangsa, karena pelaksanaan muatan lokal benar-benar memperhatikan karakteristik lingkungan dan kebudayaan lokal. Konsep muatan lokal sesuai dengan konsep trikon yang dikemukakan oleh Ki Hajar Dewantara yaitu salah satunya konsentris, yang berarti setelah bersatu dan berkomunikasi dengan bangsa-bangsa lain di dunia, jangan kehilangan kepribadian sendiri. Muatan lokal mampu membentuk karakter bangsa Indonesia yang asli karena sebagai penguat sumber daya manusia Indonesia akan kecintaan dan nilai lokal daerah sebagai bentuk pertahanan diri dalam arus globalisasi. Muatan lokal dimasukkan dalam kurikulum karena dilandasi kenyataan bahwa Indonesia memiliki beraneka ragam adat istiadat, kesenian, tata acara, tata krama pergaulan, bahasa dan pola kehidupan yang diwariskan secara turun-temurun dari nenek moyang bangsa Indonesia. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa muatan lokal mampu membangun karakter bangsa sesuai dengan ciri khas dan jati diri bangsa. Tulisan ini berupaya menjelaskan peran pendidikan muatan lokal terhadap pembangunan karakter bangsa dengan metode conceptual paper, yaitu melalui kajian bersifat kualitatif melalui pengumpulan jurnal deskriptif dan literatur.

Tujuan Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui peningkatan motivasi belajar siswa
melalui layanan bimbingan dan konseling Islami. Peningkatan motivasi belajar
pada siswa di sekolah sebenarnya sudah dilakukan oleh konselor dan para guru
melalui layanan pembelajaran dan layanan bimbingan dan konseling. Usaha
peningkatan motivasi belajar tersebut belum menunjukkan hasil yang optimal, hal
tersebut terbukti masih banyaknya anak usia sekolah yang melakukan kegiatan
yang tidak sesuai dengan tugasnya pokoknya sebagai pelajar yaitu belajar, malah
melakukan kegiatan yang tidak mengembangkan kemampuan belajarnya. Hasil
penelitian Asroful (2011) menunjukkan 65% siswa memiliki motivasi belajar
rendah.
Hasil penelitian tindakan kelas yang dilakukan Asroful (2011) yang berupaya
untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar melalui bimbingan dan konseling Islami
dengan tiga siklus menunjukkan adanya peningkatan motivasi belajar. Pada
siklus I hanya 35% siswa memiliki motivasi belajar tinggi, pada siklus II
meningkat menjadi 56% siswa, dan pada siklus III mengalami peningkatan yang
cukup signifikan yaitu 83% siswa mempunyai motivasi belajar tinggi.
Berdasarkan hasil tersebut maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa peningkatan
motivasi belajar siswa dapat dilakukan melalui layanan bimbingan dan konseling
Islami.
