Resumo O presente estudo tem como objetivo construir um diálogo a partir dos narradores de Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas e Dom Casmurro, publicados por Machado de Assis, em 1881 e 1889, respectivamente. Para tanto, baseando-se nos estudos e na crítica construída entorno desses livros, em especial, nos textos de Souza (2006), Hansen (2008), Schwarz (2000) e Caldwell (2008), a análise partirá das relações entre os narradores-protagonistas com as duas figuras femininas de maior destaque nos romances, respectivamente, Virgília e Capitu. Desse modo, ambas são aproximadas das musas da Antiguidade (HAVELOCK, 1996; KRAUSZ, 2007), uma vez que fazem desses "homens comuns" enunciadores de seus passados, reconstrutores de inúmeros fragmentos que compõem ambos os romances.

ABSTRACT Purpose to compare the efficacies of traditional phonological therapy and phonology associated with the gamification strategy in children with Phonological Disorder (PD). Methods ten individuals with PD participated who showed the process of replacing liquids. They were randomized into two groups: traditional phonological therapy (control group - CG) and phonological therapy associated with a gamification strategy mediated by computer (gamification group - GG). The phonological intervention comprised, for both groups, stages of speech perception and production. Interventions differed in the perception stage, in which the GG was submitted to the game with gamification strategies. At the end of each session, individuals speech production (% of correct answers) were registered for each therapeutic stage, based on target words and sounding words. For analysis the following were considered: The individuals mean of correct answers for each therapeutic stage; PCC-R value (percentage of correct consonants) pre and post therapy; beyond of the number of sessions used to reach 85% of correct production. Results there was no statistical difference between the types of intervention considering the average of correct answers of the productions and the number of sessions. There was a significant effect for pre- and post-therapy conditions in the comparison PCC-R values for both models. The individuals in the GC had the PCC-R values higher than those of GG. Conclusion both models of intervention present similar results, providing an improvement in the individuals phonological performance from the first session.

Published: September 2023

Antecedentes: Las plantas en ecosistemas áridos exhiben adaptaciones a las sequías periódicas, más frecuentes e intensas por el cambio global. Conocer los atributos ecofisiológicos en las especies, ayudará a entender sus adaptaciones a las limitaciones de agua. En los ecosistemas del Noroeste de México coexisten árboles perennifolios y caducifolios, de los que poco se conocen sus adaptaciones hídricas y funcionales.
Preguntas: ¿Cuáles son las diferencias en los atributos de resistencia a la sequía e hídricos, en árboles coexistentes de una comunidad semi-árida? ¿Es posible determinar mecanismos de coexistencia?
Especies de estudio: Olneya tesota, Ipomoea arborescens y Jatropha cordata.
Sitio y año de estudio: Matorral subtropical del Desierto Sonorense. Sonora, México, 2021.
Métodos: Densidad de flujo de savia (Fd) medido continuamente utilizando sensores de disipación de calor, potenciales hídricos al amanecer (Ψpd), al mediodía (Ψmd) y conductancia estomática (gs), en el verano.
Resultados: Olneya (perennifolia) mantuvo Fd durante todo el año, pero Ipomoea y Jatropha (deciduas) solo durante días húmedos del verano. La Fd máxima de Ipomoea y Jatropha (~1200 g cm-2 día-1) fue el doble que Olneya (600 g cm-2 día-1). Durante los períodos secos, los árboles deciduos disminuyeron Fd. Los potenciales hídricos y conductancia estomática permitieron diferenciar los nichos hidrológicos en tipos funcionales isohídricos (Ipomoea y Jatropha) y anisohídricos (Olneya).
Conclusiones: Un gradiente decreciente de resistencia a la sequía se encontró entre Ipomoea, Jatropha y Olneya. Estas especies logran su coexistencia por sus nichos hidrológicos, caracterizados por flujos de savia, estrategias iso-anisohídricas, y profundidad de raíces.
The Obligation on Landowners to Accommodate ESTA Occupiers on their Land: Critically Analysing Daniels v Scribante 2017 4 SA 341 (CC)
Authors: Ngwenyama Lerato Rudolph
Published: September 2023

In Daniels v Scribante (hereafter the Daniels case) the Constitutional Court had to decide whether: (a) the Extension of Security of Tenure Act 62 of 1997 (ESTA) afforded Ms Daniels the right to make improvements to her dwelling; (b) if consent from the person in charge, Mr Scribante, was a requirement for Ms Daniels to make such improvements; and (c) if consent was not a requirement, if Ms Daniels could effect improvements to the total disregard of Mr Scribante. The judgment in Daniels is important not only because it paved the way for Ms Daniels to effect improvements on her existing dwelling without the consent of Mr Scribante, but also because it showed that under section 8(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (hereafter the Constitution) on the application of the Bill of Rights Mr Scribante owed a positive obligation to Ms Daniels to ensure that she lived in conditions that afforded her human dignity. In Daniels the Constitutional Court indicated that private landowners were enjoined by section 25(6) of the Constitution through ESTA to accommodate ESTA occupiers on their land. According to the Constitutional Court in Daniels, the nature of the obligation imposed by section 25(6) of the Constitution was both negative and positive, and in this particular case it rested on Mr Scribante. Against this background, this case note provides at the outset the salient facts and judgment of the Daniels case. This is followed by an analysis aimed at critiquing the judgment in Daniels pertaining to what is expected of private landowners in the new constitutional dispensation. It is concluded that more may be required from the private landowner – a positive duty – to ensure that ESTA occupiers enjoy fundamental rights.

Authors: Alhussin Alali Ahmad , Alhossin Alali Azzam Ahmad , Baki Mohd Hafizuddin , Madarsa Nor Ikhmar , Mohamad Nur Ikhwan
Published: September 2023

Background. Skill acquisition in teaching a new physical exercise skill is quite similar in process to other skill-learning in general. In teaching physical exercise techniques, two teaching and learning approaches can be used. Most often instructors used the deductive method in teaching exercise techniques. But in a real-life setup, it is quite common to hear athletes learn exercise techniques on their own self, with limited guidance or exposure to proper steps or techniques (inductively).
The aim of the study. This study aimed at identifying the actual number of studies that have been conducted and/or compared the usage of deductive and inductive teaching approaches in teaching exercises or sports skills. 
Materials and methods. This systematic review used PRISMA guidelines to locate related literature. Eligible papers were evaluated for integrity, and relevant findings were combined to enable thematic analysis.
Results. Twenty-six studies have actually fulfilled the requirements standards and were selected for review and analysis. In total, 1430 participants participated in those selected studies. Except for four studies, other studies have been found to have a low risk of bias, which indicated the research to be more accurate. This review showed that most of the instructors (teachers, coaches) prefer to use the inductive method. Five studies used the inductive method and three studies used the deductive method directly. The other 18 studies used the deductive and inductive methods indirectly or combined with other approaches. The inductive approach method was more effective according to the results.
Conclusion. The inductive method for teaching exercise skills is said to be more preferred mainly due to a good response received from the students in the majority of the studies, and considered more effective for teaching a new exercise or sports skills. The deductive method has not been totally sidelined but it is less preferred.
The Impact of Sanctions on the Capitalization of Russian Companies: The Sectoral Aspect
Authors: Fedorova Elena , Nevredinov Alexandr , Chernikova Liudmila
Published: September 2023

The research purpose is to evaluate influence of sanctions on the Russian economy taking into consideration the sectoral aspect (oil and gas, telecommunications and consumer sector). The research methodology comprises econometric modeling (elastic net and GARCH modeling) and text analysis. In the paper we developed author’s sanction indices based on the text analysis. We used the EcSentiThemeLex dictionary to assess the news’ positivity and negativity. The empiric research base consists of news publications of the lenta.ru portal for the period from 01.01.2014 to 31.03.2023 represented by the thematic sections “economy” and “science and technology”. The research results are as follows. On the basis of GARCH modeling we revealed that sanctions have a negative impact on capitalization of the largest companies inoil and gas, the consumer sector and telecommunications. The news tonality influences companies’ capitalization. We have developed sanctions indices (a minimal index, an expanded index, a maximally expanded index) which allow to assess the extent of sanctions pressure. On the basis of elastic net method we made the conclusion of priority of sentiment variables over the control ones, i.e. information on sanctions and its tonality influences the stock market more than the oil prices, rouble exchange rate and interbank rate in the short term. Sanctions influence is not industry specific.

However, the study does entail certain limitations: 1. reliance on publications from a single source; 2. the use of a single dictionary for evaluating news sentiment; 3. the sanctions index does not allow the incorporation of new terms when fresh sanctions are imposed. We intend to address these issues in future research.

The maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is employed to estimate the unknown model’s parameters. Some numerical results are investigated to examine the performance of the estimates. Finally, applications for two real datasets are presented to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the new proposed model.
Regarding the prospects of using Lactobacillus-based probiotics, D-mannose and cranberry extracts in therapy of urinary tract infections
Authors: Gromova O. A. , Torshin I. Yu.
Published: September 2023

Antibiotics are most often used to combat urinary tract infections (UTIs). Taking into account the side effects related to antibiotic therapy, existing antibiotic-resistant strains of uropathogens, as well as the low effectiveness of the vast majority of antibiotics against bacterial agglomerations (biofilms), a search for alternative approaches to treat UTIs is highly relevant. One of the important in such search is presented by use of nutraceuticals – D-mannose (prevents interaction between pathogenic E. coli strains and the urothelium, destroys bacterial biofilms), Lactobacilli (prevents formation of bacterial pathogen biofilms, normalizes human microbiome, alleviates inflammation) and standardized cranberry extracts (inhibits uropathogen adhesion, exerts anti-inflammatory action). The results from basic and clinical studies suggest not only about high safety of such pharmaconutraceutical support of UTIs therapy, but also the effectiveness of separate and combined use of such nutraceuticals comparable to that of antibiotics, especially in treatment of uncomplicated UTIs forms

In this study, 65 samples of fresh products (leafy vegetables, ready-to-eat mixed salads, and fruits) retailed in Adana province of Turkiye were investigated for presence of Gram-negative bacteria. Salmonella spp. was undetected in any samples. However, Klebsiella pneumoniae (22%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (15%), Citrobacter freundii (11%), E. coli (11%), Klebsiella oxytoca (11%), Acinetobacter spp. [A. baumannii, A. pittii, (7%)], Pseudomonas putida (7%), were the predominant microorganisms and were detected in (19/65) 29.2% of samples by MALDI-TOF system. Their bacterial counts were between 3.6 and 8.3 log CFU/g. Strains of Enterobacter ludwigii (4%), Delftia lacustris (4%), Burkholderia cenocepacia (4%), and Burkholderia vietnamiensis (4%) were less detected. Our results revealed the fruits and vegetables produced in Adana province generally comply with microbiological criteria of the Turkish Food Codex interms of Salmonella spp., but higher bacterial counst of E. coli (between 5.8 and 6.3 log CFU/g) was found. Besides, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia species could be risky to human health.
El impacto de las restricciones de visado en la llegada de turistas internacionales
Authors: Cantillo Luz Angelica
Published: September 2023

Este estudio evalua el impacto de las restricciones de visado en la llegada de turistas internacionales para el periodo 2017-2019. A pesar de la relevancia del tema, existen pocos estudios en la literatura económica que analicen hasta qué punto las restricciones de visado reducen el flujo de viajeros entre países. Este trabajo pretende suplir esta escasez de estudios, puesto que las restricciones de visados suponen una importante barrera para los movimientos internacionales de turistas limitando el desarrollo del sector e impidiendo lograr el crecimiento económico y la reducción del desempleo. Por tanto, el principal objetivo de esta investigación es explorar el efecto que diferentes tipos de visados tienen sobre el turismo y la toma de decisiones por parte de los gobiernos sobre su política de visados. Para abordar este análisis, el presente estudio clasifica los diferentes tipos de visados en visa tradicional, visa electrónica y visa obtenida a la llegada al país de destino. En el análisis empírico se define un modelo de gravedad para estimar los movimientos turísticos bilaterales con los métodos de estimación OLS y PPML en tres modelos diferentes: el primer modelo considera efectos fijos de origen, destino y año, el segundo considera resistencias multilaterales y, el último incluye conjuntamente resistencias multilaterales y efectos fijos de par. En cuando a las estimaciones obtenidas para las variables de interés, la visa tradicional tiene el efecto más perjudicial, suponiendo una reducción del 21.2% de las entradas de turistas, mientras que la visa a la llegada es la menos perjudicial con un efecto entre el 10.7% OLS y el 13.1% PPML. Por tanto, se demuestra que los gobiernos deben evaluar todos los costes de las políticas de visados, incluyendo el efecto que tienen sobre el turismo, y estudiar los beneficios de una flexibilización de estas políticas.

India is the world’s largest producer of banana with 13.90 million tons followed by Uganda (10.14 million tons). Banana blossom also known as a banana heart, is a fleshy purple - skinned flower shaped like tear, which grows at the end of banana fruit cluster. Now days researchers aimed to addressing dietary related diseases through promotion of food products enriched with high protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Banana blossom is rich source of nutrients and antioxidants which have several health benefits. The juice from the male bud provides an apparent remedy for stomach problems in people of all ages. Banana blossom is a popular dish in Sri Lanka. It is consumed as a curry as well as a boiled or deep fried salad with rice and wheat bread. It is generally valued as a fiber-rich source. Dietary fiber has demonstrated its benefits in health and disease prevention in medical nutrition therapy. Consumption of dietary fiber is known to lower blood cholesterol level, normalize blood glucose and insulin level, promote normal laxation, avoid constipation, prevent diverticulosis and diverticukitis, lower the risk of colon cancer and breast cancer and prevent obesity. The flower has been used to treat bronchitis, constipation and peptic ulcer. The extract has anti-oxidant property that prevents free radicals and control cell and tissue damage. Based on the main components of banana flower extract and its anti-oxidant properties, we hypothesized that the banana flower extract may have anticancer activities against cancer cell lines.

Published: September 2023

: Compared to other fixed orthodontic appliances, orthodontic brackets have a substantial impact on enamel demineralization. This demineralization is a result of organic acid production by various microorganisms, primarily from Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Preventing white spot lesions and caries during orthodontic treatment presents a considerable challenge for clinicians. Silver exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, certain viruses, fungi, protozoa, and antibiotic-resistant strains. As such, the purpose of this research is to investigate the antibacterial properties of orthodontic brackets coated with silver nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

The study involved 80 stainless steel orthodontic brackets, which were divided into four groups, each containing 20 brackets. In each group, there were uncoated brackets serving as the control group, and the experimental group consisted of brackets coated with silver dioxide. Coating was done by physical vapor deposition with the help of RF Magnetron sputtering unit. Surface morphology and material composition was analyzed by SEM and EDS unit. Afterward, the brackets underwent microbiological tests to evaluate their antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

The study found that silver nanoparticle-coated stainless-steel brackets exhibited effective antibacterial properties against both Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus when compared to the uncoated brackets. Silver nano particle coated SS brackets showed increased anti-bacterial effect towards S. mutans than L acidophilus.

Using silver nanoparticles to coat orthodontic brackets represents an innovative and effective approach to prevent the formation of white spot lesions in patients receiving fixed orthodontic treatment. The antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles can combat bacteria like Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus, responsible for enamel demineralization and the occurrence of white spot lesions. This advancement in bracket technology has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of enamel damage and improve overall oral health outcomes for orthodontic patients.

Maxillary and mandibular skeletal discrepancies are one of the commonly prevailing malocclusion in the childhood. Many a time it is ignored by the parents as well as the clinicians. It can present itself with aesthetic, functional and psychological problems of the child. Proper identification, diagnosis and treatment planning at the proper age can lead to correction and improvement in the overall facial balance and psychological esteem of the child. Over the years orthopedic and myofunctional appliances has been used to correct Class II and Class III skeletal malocclusion in a growing child. Face mask therapy with RME has been used as treatment choice to treat a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Orthopedic correction in the early stage of life can eliminate the severity and further complex treatment modalities in the later stages of life. This case report describes the treatment of male child aged 12 years who had skeletal Class III malocclusion with maxillary deficiency. The treatment was done in two phases; orthopedic correction was done initially using RME Facemask followed by fixed orthodontic correction. There was overall improvement in the facial profile and occlusion of the patient post treatment.

Published: September 2023

Controlling anchorage is one of the foremost necessary aspects of treatment. Moderate anchorage is comparatively simple to manage with the use of some intraoral appliances and biomechanical procedures. On the opposite hand, cases that need the most anchorage need extraoral support to strengthen the anchorage. In some instances, 100 percent anchorage has got to be maintained, such an anchorage may be termed as absolute anchorage. It's tough and not possible to get absolute anchorage by using typical ways like extraoral force application. In this case report, we describe the treatment of Open bite by using the support of Zygomatic plates and Spurs anteriorly placed with the combination of posterior bite blocks.

A 20-year-old female reported to our department of orthodontics with the chief complaint of anteriorly placed upper front teeth. There was no relevant medical history; she was having tongue thrusting habit, acute nasolabial angle and incompetent lips. Overjet of 12mm and anterior skeletal open bite from canine to canine of 5mm was present associated with anterior tongue thrusting habit, and constricted upper arch. The molar relation was end-on on the right side and class II on left side. Canine relation is end-on, on both the side. Growth pattern is vertical. Upper arch is well aligned with constriction in premolar region; lower arch has crowding of 6 mm. The treatment plan was selected as alignment of the teeth with fixed mechanotherapy and impaction of the maxillary posteriors using zygomatic anchorage with posterior bite block and spurs soldered to the anterior part of the appliance. The sutures were removed after 7 days, the appliance was into the patient’s mouth and secured with a power chain to the hooks of the appliance and the hook of zygomatic implant, 400gms of force was applied on both the sides.

Published: September 2023

Use of mini-screw implants is in vogue. It has brought about a drastic change in day to day practise for orthodontists. Despite being the most popular source of anchorage, it is not easy for newer clinicians to perfectly figure out the site of implant placement and the accuracy by which it should be placed to avoid failure. A customised grid or mesh is the simplest way to gain assistance for placement of miniscrew implants. This article focuses on comparison of two types of grids for placement of implant accurately and to guide the clinician in such a way that minimises all the possible errors.
Solitary plasmacytoma masquerading as a benign lesion
Authors: Akbar Ahna Ali , Abhilash Anu , Radhakrishna Mayeesh
Published: September 2023

Plasmacytoma refers to a distinct and localized growth of plasma cells that are neoplastic and monoclonal in nature. Solitary plasmacytomas (SP) can be categorized into two groups based on their location: solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP), which most commonly occurs in the vertebrae and secondarily in long bones, and extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP), encompassing SPs found outside the bone. Long bones are frequently affected in solitary plasmacytomas. SBP specifically in the jaw is a rare condition, leading to challenges in diagnosis and often resulting in misdiagnosis. SBP carries a higher risk of progression to myeloma, and the primary treatment option is radiotherapy (RT). By employing RT alone, approximately 30% of SBP patients and 65% of EMP patients can achieve long-term disease-free survival (DFS). This article presents a case of a 40-year-old female patient diagnosed with solitary plasmacytoma of the mandible, with detailed documentation of clinical, radiographic, and histological features.

IDENTITY IN THE "POST-GLOBALIZATION" OF THE NEW SOCIETY AS "HOMO SPIRITUS IN UNIVERSUM CONCENTUS": EPISTEMOLOGICAL AND ONTOLOGICAL APPROACHES
Authors: Kharchenko Julia
Published: September 2023

Abstract. "Post-globalization" is presented as a new phenomenon, considered in the perspective of history, what actualized thedefinition of the place and role of the individual in the new state of society. The goal of the study was the conceptualization ofthe phenomenon of personality in the "post-globalization" of the new society based on epistemological and ontologicalapproaches. The key task of the research made it possible to verify whether "post-globalization" is one of the ways to preservethe life of the globalized world. As a result, the "end of globalization", the world's entry into a new state under a different name,and the impact of these processes on the individual were confirmed. Meta-ontology has shown, that personality appears asuniversality in the system of "universe – society – man" relations. It was shown that the new model of society can serve as abasis for the coming world formation. Personality is presented as the basis of a complex system. The proposed model of "HomoSpiritus in Universum Concentus", considering the acceleration of time, is the most optimal in the future.

Published: September 2023

Highly loaded copper-containing catalysts synthesized by different methods (sol-gel, alloying and coprecipitation) were studied in hydroconversion of furfural in a batch reactor at a hydrogen pressure 5.0 MPA and temperature 100 °С. The reduction temperature and phase composition of the catalysts were determined using physicochemical methods. The highest activity in the process under consideration was observed for the coprecipitated copper-alumina catalyst, which at 100–130 °С allows obtaining furfuryl alcohol with 100 % selectivity; in addition, 2-methylfuran can be produced in the presence of this catalyst with the yield of 65 % at 200 °С.

Authors: Koveza V. A. , Potapenko O. V. , Lavrenov A. V.
Published: September 2023

The review considers and systematizes the results of studies on ethanol conversion to aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, and xylenes) currently available in the literature. Features of the ethanol conversion over zeolite-containing catalysts and the mechanism of each step of its conversion to aromatic hydrocarbons are considered. The effect exerted by the composition of the zeolite-containing catalyst, composition of the raw material and conditions of the ethanol conversion processes is demonstrated. A modifier of the zeolite-containing catalyst is shown to affect the formation selectivity of aromatic hydrocarbons. This review may be interesting and useful for researchers of the zeolite-containing catalytic systems and processing of alcohols.
Tank Battle near Prokhorovka: Key assessments and judgments in Modern Russian Historiography
Authors:   Penza State Pedagogical Institute named after V. G. Belinsky of Penza State University, Voeikov Evgenij V.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the stereotypes of the course of the Battle of Kursk that have developed at different times, distorting the real historical picture. Various approaches to assessing the significance of the counterattack of the 5th Guards Tank Army near Prokhorovka have been investigated. Some contradictions and gaps of modern historical works are revealed. The article focuses on the exaggeration by the authors of historical works of the role of the new German Tiger tanks in the battles near Prokhorovka on July 12, 1943. An attempt is also made to investigate the stereotype that has developed in historical works about the complete uselessness of T-70 light tanks in the battle of Prokhorovka on July 12 and the low combat qualities of the British Churchill heavy tanks.
Self-organisation in Urban Systems Undergoing Transformation
Authors: Domański Ryszard
Published: September 2023

The theory of self-organisation is an efficient tool for reconstructing the dynamics and evolution of urban and regional systems. It allows the adoption of realistic assumptions concerning socio-economic and spatial conditions of the operation and development of multi-component systems, and offers flexible methods that can be employed to derive from these assumptions a mechanism of the transformation of the macrostructures of such systems. The mechanism includes: nonlinearity, instability and disequilibrium, self- -reinforcement, interaction with the surroundings, and the formation of new (dissipative) structures capable of performing new functions. The author has participated in a research project on spatial self-organisation from an early stage of its development. In the present article, he gives a survey of selected conceptions of self-organisation and achievements in the application of this theory. He also presents the results of an empirical study of the economy of the city of Poznañ. The study focused on the question of the stability/instability of the principal domains of the city.s economic life in order to find out if there were mechanisms permitting the economy to regain stability and a new equilibrium after the profound structural changes brought about by the systemic transformation.

Financing of local governments' cultural activities : chances and threats in Polish legal system after the year 1991
Authors: Przybylska Joanna
Published: September 2023

The systemic transformation taking place in Poland since 1989 has had a major influence on the role of culture in local communities. The times when cultural and economic policies were formulated exclusively by the state and cultural institutions were totally state-dependent ended at the beginning of the nineties when a number of economic and social reforms was introduced. The author of this article attempts to answer the questions concerning the following issues: the advantages and disadvantages of the system of financing the local cultural institutions' activities, the limitations of the system, which result in the fact that the cultural institutions are not provided with sufficient resources to finance their activities, or with possible solutions to ensure them greater independence in decision making.

Monetary and exchange rate policy in Poland after 1990 - relationship and prospects of coordination
Authors: Jurek Michał , Marszałek Paweł
Published: September 2023

The aim of the paper is to characterize relationship between monetary and exchange rate policies in Poland since 1990 and to shed some light on the prospects of coordination between them in the context of inclusion of the Polish zloty in the ERM II. We find that the evolution of both monetary and exchange rate policies was in principle correct, improving their abilities to influence the economy. As the most important changes we regard introduction of the inflation targeting strategy and switching to the float exchange rate regime. The latter one, however, may in our opinion interfere with the introduction of the zloty into the ERM II, thus making this process distant. (original abstract)
Performance measurement methods in the public sector
Authors: Gajda-Lüpke Olga
Published: September 2023

The notion of performance measurement (PM) in the public sector emerged in the framework of the New Public Management paradigm and public management reforms in industrialised as well as in developing countries. The paper discusses the following issues regarding PM - the definition of performance and types of measures, purpose of the PM and possible threats while applying PM. Firstly, as regards the types of measures - it is argued that measures of efficiency and effectiveness should be preferred over output measures Secondly, the purposes of PM are: informing users in the budget cycle, better planning, improved management, increased transparency and last but not least PM can motivate future performance. Thirdly, concerning the threats to the performance measurement: gaming, imprecise objectives and unprepared transfer of the new management system can make PM unreliable. The purpose of this paper is to overview and assess the recent developments concerning performance measurement and its methodology. It is also meant to add to the discussion on performance budgeting at the moment of the evaluation of Poland's first performance budget in 2008. (original abstract)
Entrepreneurship and sustainability : do they have anything in common?
Authors: Gaweł Aleksandra
Published: September 2023

The main aim of this paper, within a conceptual approach, is to show the possible relationship between entrepreneurship, especially entrepreneurial orientation, and sustainability. The entrepreneurial orientation of companies (measured by their innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, autonomy and competitive aggressiveness) and sustainable development are not mutually exclusive. Entrepreneurial orientation is more a particular way of acting whereas sustainability is a set of postulates and aims. Thus, in order for a favourable relationship to exist between the two, implementing the pro-social and pro-ecological postulates of sustainability must provide measurable benefits for a company and must be incorporated into a company's strategy.

Authors: Walkowiak Marcin Piotr
Published: September 2023

The article compares accounting estimates in IFRS financial statements of manufacturing companies. It shows that after adopting IFRS nation-specific assumptions remained. In all analysed countries there was a tendency to use policies that were based on national laws. The borrowing of laws was more visible in Poland and Germany than in the UK. The accounting policies of companies were mostly based on national tax and accounting laws. When making subjective decisions concerning accounting policies companies tended to base their choice on national law regulations.(original abstract)
Public debt sustainability and the participation of the new member states in the euro area
Authors: Stanek Piotr
Published: September 2023

The recent financial and economic crisis pushed the ratio of public debt to GDP in a number of industrialised countries to unprecedented levels. This phenomenon was especially marked in the peripheral countries of the euro area, which questioned again the adequacy of the institutional framework of the Economic and Monetary Union (including the Maastricht criteria related to public finance). Thus, the new entrants and candidates to the euro area must put a deeper emphasis on the interrelations between public debt sustainability and participation in the monetary union. The article analyses empirically the interrelationships between the participation of the EU-10 countries in the euro area and the sustainability of their debts. The principal method of investigation is the use of panel stationarity tests. The results, contrary to intuition, indicate no significant differences between countries in the euro area and those remaining outside. (original abstract)
Challenges of continued EU enlargement to the Western Balkans - Croatia's experience
Authors: Butković Hrvoje , Samardžija Višnja
Published: September 2023

Croatia's EU membership is a success of the EU's enlargement policy and the long term preparations of the country. It confirms credibility of the EU's Stabilisation and Association Process (SAP) and proves once again that EU membership can be achieved by following the enlargement template. However due to the EU's current preoccupation with impacts of the economic crisis and the internal issues, as well as slow reforms, weak state capacities and soft security challenges in the Western Balkans, the process of enlargement has slowed down. This paper provides an assessment of the EU's current enlargement strategy towards the region considering Croatia's experience. This is important because Croatia is the first country in the region that experienced the new EU negotiation instruments and also the first country that negotiated accession with the enlarged EU under the new external circumstances. The paper argues that the success of further enlargement in the Western Balkans largely depends upon the reinvigoration of the current enlargement policy and the strengthening of implementation of reforms in the Western Balkan region.
