The success of science-industry R&D cooperation. A fuzzy-set approach
Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, KWIOTKOWSKA Anna
Published: November 2020

Purpose: This study focuses on the causal mechanisms by which a series of organizational factors like commitment, communication, experience, dependence and trust collectively affect on the success of science-industry R&D cooperation. The purpose of this paper is to identify multiple paths of complex causal recipes that can lead to success of science-industry R&D cooperation. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), a technique that provides a holistic view of the examined interrelationships, compared to traditional net effect approaches that assume symmetric and linear relationships among variables. Findings: Results indicate that different causal paths, exactly five configurations, explain success R&D contracts. Particularly, the findings reveal that the availability of commitment and communication are important, sufficient conditions because they appear in at least three of the five configurations that result from the analysis. In this way, a series of conclusions and implications have been obtained that can be very useful, both in the academic world and when trying to lead and manage cooperation agreements. Research implications: A comprehensive theoretical model was developed and tested that identifies the organizational factors of the success of science-industry R&D cooperation. The presented model and comprehensive research using fs/QCA allows to overcome the fragmentation of this specialized literature. Practical implications: The results contain a number of practical recommendations that can be useful in the conduct and management of cooperation agreements. During the establishing and developing contract stages, it is recommended to design managerial and organizational mechanisms that ensure a high degree of commitment and communication in combination with experience (configuration number 1) and/or with dependences (configuration number 4). Originality/value: Vital value of this paper is the use of fs/QCA, a technique that is an important novelty, at least in the field of R&D cooperation relationships between companies and research organizations. This method allows testing the configuration of conditions in relation to a specific outcome (e.g. success of science-industry R&D cooperation) in a way that is not possible using a linear additive approach.
Barriers to using of Quintuple Helix model to create innovations in Polish regions
Authors:   West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, ŁĄCKA Irena
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The main purpose of the paper is to present and discuss the assumptions of the model and indicate whether the regional innovativeness can be improved with the help of multi-branch co-operation oriented so as to form new solutions to contemporary development problems. An additional purpose of the paper is to indicate barriers that hinder the application of this form of co-operation in Polish regions. Design/methodology/approach: The paper has theoretical and reviewing nature. It was drawn up based on an analysis of the literature on the topic and the results of foreign authors’ research along with the information obtained from practicians (management board members of the cluster active in the West Pomeranian region). Findings: Quintuple Helix model is a concept which explains the principles and effects of co-operation for the improvement of regional innovativeness and development in the conditions of the natural environment challenges and sustainable development. This co-operation is built between regional partners of innovative processes. The experience of highly developed countries shows that such organized cooperation is effective. In Poland, this concept is very rarely used, and its implementation encounters significant barriers. Practical implications: The presented considerations are important for entities of regional innovative networks. They will gain knowledge of the Quintuple Helix concept in the light of the challenges of the modern world (economic, ecological, demographic, cultural and others). In addition, they learn the essence and scope of barriers to introducing effective innovative cooperation. This will allow them to reduce barriers. In the future, new solutions to problems of the development of society and economy will appear in Polish regions faster. Originality/value: The added value of the article is the presentation of the Quintuple Helix model as a tool to solve sustainable development problems in the region. This concept is not widely known in Poland, nor used in the mesoscale. This is due to the lack of interdisciplinary research on this issue and very strong barriers to such cooperation. They are found in all elements of this model. Its practical implementation requires their removal. In the article, the author diagnosed and described them.

Authors:   University of Agriculture in Krakow, PINK Małgorzata , PALUCH Łukasz ,   University of Agriculture in Krakow, KOKOSZKA Katarzyna ,   University of Agriculture in Krakow
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The aim of the study was to diagnose attitudes and consumption behaviors among the young adults, regarding food consumption in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: 483 respondents took a part in the research. They were students of three Cracovian universities, representing all voivodships in Poland. The research instrument consisted of two types of questions: traditional closed survey questions and a series of projection questions, based on fictional characters, which the respondents had to assess and determine the degree of identification with the attitudes and behaviors described. Findings: The research revealed some akrasia. The relatively high level of awareness regarding the effects of unsustainable production and consumption of young adults did not translate into consumption behavior of a sustainable nature. The curiosity regarding origin of the product and its composition turned out to be low, as was the feeling of responsibility for their own decisions. There was a tendency to expect the transition of responsibility to food producers and the institutional environment. Young adults pay special attention to food prices and easy access to shopping. Local marketplaces are a niche shopping place. The majority of food is purchased in large-area stores, where consumers are not informed about the place of origin of food. The respondents group is characterized by high outside-diagonality, solutions forcing more sustainable behavior, for example, the payment for plastic bags, the need for recycling of waste meet with wide acceptance. Originality/value: The research revealed enforcing proecological behaviors by institutions seems to be a more effective than building consumer awareness.

Authors:   Kielce University of Technology, Faculty of Management and Computer Modeling, BRZOZOWSKA-RUP Katarzyna , HOŻEJOWSKA Sylwia ,   Kielce University of Technology, Faculty of Management and Computer Modeling, HOŻEJOWSKI Leszek ,   Kielce University of Technology, Faculty of Management and Computer Modeling
Published: November 2020

Purpose: Option pricing is hardly a new topic, however, in many cases they lack an analytical 11 solution. The article proposes a new approach to option pricing based on the semi-analytical 12 Trefftz method. 13 Design/methodology/approach: An appropriate transformation makes it possible to reduce the 14 Black-Scholes equation to the heat equation. This admits the Trefftz method (which has shown 15 its effectiveness in heat conduction problems) to be employed. The advantage of such 16 an approach lies in its computational simplicity and in the fact that it delivers a solution 17 satisfying the governing equation. 18 Findings: The theoretical option pricing problem being considered in the paper has been solved 19 by means of the Trefftz method, and the results achieved appear to comply with those taken 20 from the Black-Scholes formula. Numerical simulations have been carried out and compared, 21 which has confirmed the accuracy of the proposed approach. 22 Originality/value: Although a number of solutions to the Black-Scholes model have appeared, 23 the paper presents a thoroughly novel idea of implementation of the Trefftz method for solving 24 this model. So far, the method has been applied to problems having nothing in common with 25 finance. Therefore the present approach might be a starting point for software development, 26 competitive to the existing methods of pricing options.
Spatial differentiation in the EU fund absorption in Poland – a regional outlook
Authors:   Poznań University of Economics and Business, Poznań, SPYCHAŁA Marcin
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to conduct an analysis of spatial differentiation of the EU fund absorption of the programming period of 2007-2013 as well as the period of 2014- 2020 in its regional dimension, i.e. at the level of 380 districts in Poland. The article attempts to test a hypothesis according to which in Poland there exist significant spatial variations in using European funds. Design/methodology/approach: In order to specify the level of the socio-economic development of districts, the Hellwig method has been used, by means of which a synthetic measure of development has been construed. Moreover, the compilation has examined the correlation between the discrepancies between the socio-economic level in respective districts and the amount of the community funds used in specific regions. Findings: Based on the research conducted in this paper, one may conclude that the absorption of EU funds stemming from structural funds as well as the cohesion fund is highly spatially varied. In Poland, from the standpoint of districts, there are significant spatial discrepancies in the use of EU funds of the 2007-2013 as well as 2014-2020 financial perspective. Research limitations/implications: In the future, research can be extended to other countries. The research limitation may be, however, the availability of empirical data. Social implications: The results of the research may prove useful in the planning and redistribution of EU funds by central and local government in the new financial perspective 2021-2027 in Poland. Originality/value The article presents a new approach to research on the spatial differentiation of the absorption of EU funds using the Hellwig method and the relationship between the absorption of these funds and the change in the level of socio-economic development.
Locality and social capital revival as local development assets in Ukraine: the case of rural areas in Khmelnytskyi Region
Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Organization and Management, SYNOWIEC Aleksandra
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to discuss the issues of localism and social capital revival as important factors of local and regional development of rural areas in Khmenlytskyi Oblast in Ukraine. The paper shows an anthropological perspective on the processes of social change and overcoming the effects of socialism in the sphere of mentality, attitudes and life orientations local communities. Design/methodology/approach: Presented material refers to the empirical data obtained during fieldwork in the Khmelnytskyi region in 2018. The field study was conducted in three local communities in using ethnographic methods in order to analyze and describe the socio15 cultural effects of the political transformation that currently occur in rural areas. The research was based on the practical application of the concept of post-socialism and methodology developed by social anthropologists. Findings: The question of rural areas development concerns the mobilization of local resources and given examples illustrate, that this process has already started in Ukraine. Local communities in rural areas are characterized by a “long duration”, and therefore are relatively resistant to change. Communism legacy is an obstacle, hindering rebuilding subjectivity in former Soviet countries. Overcoming resentments connected with transition applies mainly to inhabitants of rural areas. The ongoing decentralization stimulates locality and social capital renewal. Research limitations/implications: Rural areas in post-Soviet countries as a research area allow to observe both relics of the past and signs of social change. Conducted research made it possible to indicate the behaviors and attitudes characteristic of the previous system, as well as new practices establishing the foundations of civil society. Studies on rural areas development still require many in-depth qualitative and quantitative research. Social implications: The interest in locality as a social phenomenon and a subject of analysis, has been changing. Return to the concept of locality in social sciences is related to the importance of locality in the process of social change – in that way locality becomes a dynamic and global problem associated with the activities of individuals, groups, institutions, policies and social processes. Originality/value: Theoretical and empirical identification of interdependence between factors of “persistence” and “change” in selected local communities in rural areas in Khmenlytskyi Oblast.

Design/methodology/approach: The conducted study consisted in analyzing the content of official websites belonging to local governments of individual cities of the Lodz voivodship to see how information about social networking sites used (plug-in location) and the profiles themselves in these media are communicated in order to check what and how is published. The survey was carried out in October 2019. Findings: The study showed that out of the 44 cities analyzed in the Łódź Voivodeship 37 use at least one of the social networking sites. Most often it is Facebook - 36 cities have their profile, then YouTube – 19, Instagram – 7 and Twitter – 6. 9 cities have 3 official profiles on different websites at the same time, and another 13 cities – 2 each. For 7 cities, no profiles were found on social networking sites. Research limitations/implications: The study did not include less popular social networking sites (e.g. TikTok, GoldenLine, Pinterest). The goals of communication activities by the promotion offices of individual cities are unknown. This can be part of further research through in-depth interviews with people responsible for promoting cities. Possible extension of research to cities of other provinces. Practical implications: Based on the author's audit of the communication activity of the cities of the region on social networking sites, this article suggests that the use of social media is an appropriate tactic in promoting cities due to the participative, interactive, open and transparent nature of social media.

The pandemic COVID19, effects on global health, educations, clinical research, human civilization, and the economy. So, it has been an urgency to develop proper vaccines against coronavirus. India emphasis on the most nutritious economically-important number-one-consumption-vegetable, okra, used in many human diseases, is naturally infected by different pathogens and significantly reduces production. Though pesticides are the most effective means of control, but they are expensive and toxic to the environment. So, it will require new and more efficient solutions, technologies, products, and methods. Present pre- and post-treatment with biomedicines; Acacia auriculiformis-extract, prepared from the funicles of Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn., dissolved in sterile tap water at 1mg/10ml, were applied by foliar spray once daily for 15 days @ 10 ml/plant, against Root-Knot (RK), Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (YVMV) and Okra Enation Leaf Curl Virus (OELCV) diseases of okra, (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) cv.Ankur-40. The soluble root-proteins were separated by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and were scanned with a recording densitometer electrophoretic scanner, measuring the molecular weight of proteins. Pre- and post-treatment with high-diluted-biomedicines; Acacia auriculiformis extract, were highly effective in reducing different okra-diseases by synthesis of new pathogenesis-related-protein (PR-proteins), inducing their natural defense-response against pathogens-infection and enhanced their growth as well as protein content of fruits and roots. The high-diluted-biomedicines;  Acacia auriculiformis extract, not only used as a potential-biomedical-drugs or vaccine against various plant-diseases, by synthesis of new PR-proteins, increasing natural-defense-response, but also, it may help for the preparation of a vaccine against COVID-19, by increasing immunity and enriching science and technology communications applications, cost-effectiveness and biodiversity conservations as well as bio-economy-applications issues, reviving human civilizations in the old form. And in near future okra may itself be a ‘Potential Biomedicine as well as Vaccine’ and world will return in normal form by defeating COVID-19.

Background

Globally, the conspiracy theory claiming 5G technology can spread the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is making the rounds on social media and this could have a significant effect in tackling the spread of the pandemic. This study investigated the impact of the myth that 5G technology is linked to COVID-19 pandemic among sub-Saharan Africans (SSA).

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was administered on 2032 participants between April 18 - May 16, 2020, corresponding to the mandatory lockdown period in some SSA countries (April 18 - May 16, 2020). Participants were recruited via Facebook, WhatsApp, and authors’ emails. The outcome measure was whether respondent believed that 5G technology was the cause of the coronavirus outbreak or not. Multiple logistic regression analyses using backward stepwise were used to examine the associated factors.

Results

About 7.3% of the participants believed that 5G technology was behind the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants from Central Africa reported the highest proportion (14.4%) while the lowest proportion (5.4%) was among those from Southern Africa. After adjusting for potential covariates in the multivariate analysis, Central Africans (adjusted odds ratio, AOR 2.12; 95% confidence interval, CI=1.20-3.75), females (AOR 1.86; 95% CI=1.20-2.84) and those who were unemployed at the time of this study (AOR 1.91; 95% CI=1.08-3.36) were more likely to believe in the myth that 5G technology was linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants who felt that COVID-19 pandemic will not continue in their country were 1.59 times (95% CI=1.04-2.45) more likely to associate the 5G technology with COVID-19 compared to those who thought that the disease will remain after the lockdown. Participants who were younger were more likely to believe in the 5G technology myth but the association between level of education and belief that 5G technology was associated with COVID-19 which was significant in the univariate analysis (unadjusted odds ratio OR 1.69; 95CI =1.02, 2.80), was nullified after adjustments for all potential confounders.

Conclusions

This study found that 7.4% of adult participants from SSA held the belief that 5G technology was linked to COVID-19 pandemic. Public health interventions including health education strategies to address the myth that 5G was linked COVID-19 pandemic in SSA are needed and such intervention should target participants who do not believe that COVID-19 pandemic will continue in their country, females, those that are unemployed and those from Central African countries in order to minimize further spread of the disease in the region.

The Vlochos Archaeological Project (2016–2018) was a Greek-Swedish archaeological investigation of the remains of the ancient urban site at Vlochos in western Thessaly, Greece. Employing a wide array of non-invasive methods, the project succeeded in completely mapping the visible remains, which had previously not been systematically investigated. The extensive remains of multi-period urban fortifications, a Classical-Hellenistic city, a Roman town, and a Late Antique fortress were identified, evidence of the long history of habitation on this site. Since comparatively little fieldwork has been conducted in the region, the results significantly increase our knowledge of the history and archaeology of Thessaly.
A Mycenaean pictorial vase from Midea
Authors: Demakopoulou Katie
Published: November 2020

The Greek-Swedish excavations on the Mycenaean acropolis of Midea have brought to light a large amount of fine decorated pottery, which includes numerous fragmentary vases and sherds with pictorial decoration. This material has firmly established Midea as an important find-spot of figure-style pottery, like other great Mycenaean Argive centres, such as Mycenae, Tiryns and Berbati. This paper presents a remarkable pictorial vase recently found at Midea. It is a ring-based krater, almost completely restored from fragments, decorated with a row of six birds. The bird is a common motif in Mycenaean pictorial vase painting and also well attested on many other ceramic pieces at Midea, particularly the type of the folded-wing marsh bird. This type of bird is also popular at Tiryns, providing evidence that this category of pictorial pottery from the two citadels, dated to the LH IIIB2 period, was produced in the same workshop, which must have been situated at or near Tiryns. The abundant pictorial pottery from Midea and other significant discoveries at the site, such as monumental architectural remains and important finds, confirm the position of Midea as a great centre, alongside the other two Argive major citadels, Mycenae and Tiryns.
The Old Cemetery for Foreigners in Rome with a new Inventory of its burials
Authors: Stanley-Price Nicholas
Published: November 2020

From at least 1716 until formal closure of the Cemetery in 1822, non-Catholic foreigners dying in Rome were usually buried adjacent to the Pyramid of Gaius Cestius in Testaccio. Some 80 stone monuments in the Old Cemetery were systematically recorded in the 1980s. To these can now be added a similar number of burials known from travel accounts and archival sources. This new, combined Inventory of 157 entries provides notes on the life and death in Rome for each individual. Its information modifies current perceptions that the Old Cemetery burials reflect mainly an élite, male population of Grand Tourists and aristocrats. Women are better represented, as are a wide range of professions, crafts, and domestic roles. A reassessment of the Cemetery’s layout leads to conclusions about its original extent, the first appearance of stone memorials in the 1760s, and the deliberate planning of graves in a burial-ground usually considered as lacking any organizing principle.
Säe säkeeltä. Väinö Kaukosen säetutkimukset Kalevalasta

Abstrakti artikkelikäsikirjoituksesta “Säe säkeeltä. Väinö Kaukosen säetutkimukset Kalevalasta”

Tarkastelen artikkelissani kirjallisuudentutkija Väinö Kaukosen (1911−1990) laatimia säetutkimuksia Kalevalasta (1939, 1945, 1956) pohtien niiden rakennetta ja suhdetta Lönnrotin toimitustapoihin ja lähdeaineistoon. Suhteutan säetutkimukset folkloristiikan tutkimushistoriaan, jossa on näkyvissä kaksi keskeistä linjaa: tarve laatia Kalevalasta kriittinen laitos, toisaalta kiista eepoksen sopivuudesta tutkimusaineistoksi ja -kohteeksi.

Säetutkimukset saattavat avautua hankalasti, jos ei tunne niiden taustoja ja viittausperiaatteita. Tämän vuoksi artikkelissa selvitetään Kaukosen tutkimusperiaatteita ja viittauskäytäntöjä. Analyysiosiossa avataan Kaukosen säetutkimusten toimintatapoja ja haasteita sekä osoitetaan vaihtoehtoisia tapoja lähestyä Lönnrotin toimitustyötä. Erityisesti analyysissa nostetaan Kalevalan krittiisen edition työn tulokset ja mahdollisuudet esiin.

Väinö Kaukosen tutkimukset ovat vaikuttaneet monin tavoin folkloristiikkaan, mutta yhtä lailla niiden vaikutus voidaan nähdä kirjallisuudentutkimuksen puolella. Molemmilla oppialoilla kysymys on liittynyt sen näkemykseen Lönnrotin eepoksesta. Tässä artikkelissa pääpaino on folkloristiikassa, sillä säetutkimukset ovat edelleen keskeinen tutkimuspohja Kalevalan ja kansanrunoaineiston suhteita tutkiville folkloristeille. Väinö Kaukosen säetutkimukset ovat kuitenkin jääneet tutkimuksen katveeseen. Kalevalan uudelleentulkinnat ja eepoksesta laadittu kriittinen laitos ovat viime vuosina osoittaneet Kaukosen säeselvitysten tarpeellisuuden myös nykytutkimuksessa.

Combined cargo transportation in Ukraine is characterized by the presence of uncertain risks. The aim of the article was to propose a mathematical model for choosing the mode of transportation that would correspond to the best value of the integral objective function in the presence of fuzzy, stochastic and uncertain risk parameters. The efficiency of the mathematical model provided the possibility of forming not only long-term forecasts that require significant time, but also short-term forecasts in real time. This allows to quickly change routes and conditions of transportation. Practical testing of the mathematical model revealed the assimilating nature of some uncertain risks. The results of the analysis are given in the article. The realization of such a risk leads to a radical change in all conditions of transportation. Long-term forecasts allow to predict new routes and conditions of transportation.

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using a laboratory assembled piezoelectric based photoacoustic (PA) system for noncontact monitoring fluid flow. This is to overcome the drawbacks of some existing fluid flow detection systems, which include expensive equipment and their maintenance cost, limited sensitivity and specificity in detecting signals from restricted regions or at low flow velocity. The produced PA signal waves detected by a piezoelectric transducer used in this study was processed to determine the required phase value (Ф), which value was found to correlate linearly with fluid flow status. The fluid pressure difference of 1.16 pascals (Pa) and 11.90 Pa applied to the developed mock circulatory system was observed to produce changes in phase value with mean ± standard deviation (SD) ΔФ of 0.79 ± 0.07 rad and 2.17 ± 0.07 rad, respectively, suggesting a linear response of the developed system with changes in circulation system. This trend was supported with the relatively low absolute difference of 0.07 ± 0.01 rad in the predicted values as compared to that of the ground truth. This work concluded that the capabilities and simplicity of the proposed PA system renders it feasible for cost effective, non-destructive assessment of fluid flow in future studies.

Partial transmission sequence (PTS) is seen as a related project in the framework of the Orthogonal Frequency Division ‎Multiplexing (OFDM) to suppress the medium to high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio problem. The PTS chart data is based on dividing the back into subdivisions and their weight by combining step-by-step factors. Despite the fact that PTS can reduce the high specifications. The Computational Complexity Level (CC) limits the scope of application to match PTS use with ground applications. In PTS, there are three main distribution schemes. Interleaving projects (IL-PTS), arbitrary and alternate (PR-PTS) and Ad-PTS. In this paper, another algorithm called the Hybrid Pseudo-Random and Interleaving Cosine Wave Shape ‎‎(H-PRC-PTS) is presented and the PR-PTS equilibrium is established by stabilizing the cousin waveform between languages (S-IL-C- PTS), which was suggested in the previous work. The results showed that the proposed algorithm could reduce the validity of PAPR as a PR-PTS scheme, although the CC level was significantly reduced.
