Probing Communication-Induced Memory Biases in Preverbal Infants: Two Replication Attempts of Yoon, Johnson and Csibra (2008)
Authors: Silverstein Priya , Gliga Teodora , Westermann Gert , Parise Eugenio
Published: March 2019

In a seminal study, Yoon, Johnson and Csibra [PNAS, 105, 36 (2008)] showed that nine-month-old infants retained qualitatively different information about novel objects in communicative and non-communicative contexts. In a communicative context, the infants encoded the identity of novel objects at the expense of encoding their location, which was preferentially retained in non-communicative contexts. This result has not yet been replicated. Here we attempted two replications, while also including a measure of eye-tracking to obtain more detail of infants’ attention allocation during stimulus presentation. Experiment 1 was designed following the methods described in the original paper. After discussion with one of the original authors, some key changes were made to the methodology in Experiment 2. Neither experiment replicated the results of the original study, with Bayes Factor Analysis suggesting moderate support for the null hypothesis. Both experiments found differential attention allocation in communicative and non-communicative contexts, with more looking to the face in communicative than non-communicative contexts, and more looking to the hand in non-communicative than communicative contexts. High and low level accounts of these attentional differences are discussed.
A Clinician’s Primer for Idiographic Research: Considerations and Recommendations
Authors: Piccirillo Marilyn , Beck Emorie D , Rodebaugh Thomas
Published: March 2019

Theorists and clinicians have long noted the need for idiographic (i.e., individual-level) designs within clinical psychology. Results from idiographic work may provide a possible resolution of the therapist’s dilemma—the problem of treating an individual using information gathered via group-level research. Due to advances in data collection and time series methodology, there has been increasing interest in using idiographic designs to answer clinical questions. Although time series methods have been well-studied outside the field of clinical psychology, there is limited direction on how clinicians can use such models to inform their clinical practice. In this primer, we collate decades of published and word-of-mouth information on idiographic designs, measurement, and modeling. We aim to provide an initial guide on the theoretical and practical considerations that we urge interested clinicians to consider before conducting idiographic work of their own.
Knowing whom to learn from: individual differences in metacognition and weighting of social information
Authors: Olsen Karsten , Roepstorff Andreas , Bang Dan
Published: March 2019

Social learning enables us to acquire skills and knowledge more efficiently, provided that we learn from the right others. However, little is known about the cognitive factors that determine whom we decide to learn from and how much we benefit from such learning. Here we address this question using a perceptual task where participants had the opportunity to revise their responses (choice about a noisy stimulus and confidence in this choice being correct) in light of the responses made by two advisors of different reliability. We found consistent individual differences in the weights assigned to the social sources, and in the benefit obtained from the social sources – factors which we collectively refer to as Social Weighting Sensitivity (SWS). We also found that an individual’s metacognition predicted SWS, with participants who were overconfident about their performance listening less to and benefiting less from social information. Finally, at the trial level, we found that participants adjusted the reliance on social information in light of the response and feedback history, indicating that they formed metacognitive estimates about the social sources. Our study highlights the importance of metacognition and SWS in human social learning.
Missing the Joke: Reduced Re-reading of Garden-path Jokes during Mind-wandering

Please do not copy or cite without authors' permission. The final article will be available, upon publication, via its DOI: 10.1037/xlm0000745 Mind-wandering, or thoughts irrelevant to the current task, occurs frequently during reading. The current study examined whether mind-wandering was associated with reduced re-reading when the reader read the so-called "garden-path jokes." In a garden-path joke, the reader's initial interpretation is violated by the final punchline, and the violation creates a semantic incongruity that needs to be resolved (e.g., "My girlfriend has read so many negative things about smoking. Therefore, she decided to quit reading."). Re-reading text prior to the punchline can help resolve the incongruity. In a main study and a pre-registered replication, participants read jokes and non-funny controls embedded in filler texts and responded to thought probes that assessed intentional and unintentional mind-wandering. Results were consistent across the two studies: Eye-tracking results show that, when the reader was not mind-wandering, jokes elicited more re-reading (from the punchline) than the non-funny controls did, and had a recall advantage over the non-funny controls. During mind-wandering, however, the additional eye movement processing and the recall advantage of jokes were generally reduced. These results show that mind-wandering is associated with reduced re-reading, which is important for resolving higher-level comprehension difficulties.

Effects of Measurement Error in the American Community Survey on Statistical Analysis: An Example using County and Census Tract Mortality Rates.
Authors: Sparks Corey , Potter Lloyd B.
Published: March 2019

The American Community Survey (ACS) summary file data provide rolling 5-year estimates of demographic and socioeconomic indicator data for small geographiesthroughout the United States. These estimates are commonly used as indicators forregression models to measure conditions in communities. The Margins of Error (MOE) inthe ACS estimates for small geographic areas can often be very large, and without takingthem into account, regression analyses using them can be mis-specified, leading to bias inregression coefficients and model standard errors. This paper directly comparesmeasurement error model specifications to naive model specifications for a mortalityoutcome in Texas Census tracts using Bayesian model specializations. The results showthat there is bias in the naive regression model results. We urge users of the ACSsummary file data to be aware of such bias as it can potentially impact interpretation ofmodel results and hypothesis tests.
Rural Road Network Decision Model for Hilly Regions of Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Jagat Kumar
Published: March 2019

Transportation cost is one of the major costs for public and private sectors in rural areas of developing countries (in order to deliver goods and services). This is due to the absence of links or to their poor physical conditions (such as road surface in a road network). To reduce the operation costs in existing links better road surfaces are needed. However, only some links can be improved or constructed to the best surface level at the same time, due to resource constraints. Hence, a careful decision about which links should be improved or constructed to achieve the minimum transportation cost is needed. This paper presents a decision support model for a rural road network that provides portfolio of suggested links for road network improvements or constructions and offers solutions for different budget levels minimizing the transportation cost in the rural road network. Mixed integer programming is used to get an optimal solution.

Authors: Motra Laxman , Karki Sanjeev
Published: March 2019

The effect of diameter, length and rotational speed of shaft, and mass of runner-buckets assembly on the natural frequency of the Pelton turbine unit was analyzed. Effect of the decisive parameters on the natural frequency of the unit showed that it was directly proportional to the diameter of the shaft and inversely proportional to the length of the shaft and mass of the runner-buckets assembly. For the continuous system model, when the rotational speed of the shaft increased, the natural frequency for the forward whirl also increased but the natural frequency decreased for the backward whirl.
L’auto-expérimentation athlétique du docteur Fernand Lagrange (1880–1900)
Authors: Ayrault Alexandre , Bauer Thomas
Published: March 2019

Cet article a pour but de dévoiler l’origine des travaux de Fernand Lagrange et la méthodologie qu’il a mise en place, à une époque où la physiologie des exercices corporels n’en était qu’à ses balbutiements. Il en ressort que ce docteur sportsman a éprouvé personnellement les choses avant de les éclairer scientifiquement. Dans la veine impulsée par Claude Bernard ou Étienne-Jules Marey, il a pratiqué ce que l’on est en droit d’appeler une auto-expérimentation athlétique. Précurseur incontestable et incontesté de la physiologie des exercices du corps, son objectif premier fut d’améliorer la santé de l’être humain en démontrant tous les bénéfices que ce dernier pouvait tirer d’une pratique physique régulière. Il a toujours porté un regard sur les autres, qu’ils soient paysans, écoliers, étudiants ou sportifs, avec une « motivation morale », et ce en vue de fonder son intervention avec une parfaite connaissance de son objet.

Gamificação como trabalho: adestramento e resistência na aplicação de videogames pedagógicos
Authors: Bornhausen Diogo Andrade , Silva Tiago Da Mota e
Published: March 2019

Em uma escola particular de São Paulo, videogames pedagógicos são inseridos no cotidiano das salas do primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental. A pesquisa se dedicou à observação deste projeto em cinco salas, com, ao todo, 142 alunos entre 6 e 7 anos. Observaram-se duas formas de apropriação dos jogos: uma que reforça o programa escolar, e outra que o reinventa. A partir desta ambiguidade, reflete-se sobre a relação entre trabalho e brincadeira/jogo. Seguindo o pensamento de Dietmar Kamper, argumenta-se que a gamificação se apresenta como imposição do imaginário do trabalho sobre a atividade lúdica, que se reconfigura.
Pengembangan Metode Bandongan dalam Kajian Kitab Kuning di Pesantren Attarbiyah Guluk-Guluk dalam Perspektif Muhammad Abid al-Jabiri
Authors: Chairi Effendi
Published: March 2019

This article discusses one of development step of bandongan method applied at Pesantren Attarbiyah in Madura. In actual fact, author analyzed it by using contemporary of philosophical approach to find out the methodological basis in carrying out development and to fine out its success. In this case, author used Abid al-Jabiri’s thought of turats as a main approach in making observations. But author also used other approaches to analyze other main object within it, such as Paulo Friere’s thought used to analyze bandongan method and taxonomy’s Bloom used to analyze the success of it. This article presents the interesting research result that the development of bandongan method at Pesantren Attarbiyah can be mentioned successful because of several reasons. The first is continuity between tradition and modernity and it is synchronic with Abid al-Jabiri’s thought and the ushul-fiqh’s principle—al-muhafadzatu ‘ala qadim al-shalih, wa al-ahdzu bi al-jadid al-ashlah. Secondly, there is discussion season between santri that formerly had never happened for this method is monologue, teacher-centered, and indoctrination. On the other hand, this also can be mentioned a failure, although it is not entirely, because the understanding of santri is not the result of their critical thinking independence. But it is created by kiai.

Abstract

Schools and communities is a unity that can not be separated, as both mutual give and take. The school as a social institution and the institution of the community is given the responsibility of determining the fate of their nation to the next generation, while the society other than as consumers, also have roles and responsibilities the successful or not Organization of education. The community widely including learners, parents, Government, company/institution agency and so on. The main expectations of the performance of public relations is to attract people to care and trust as well as graduates or using the services offered by the institution. As is happening now, many agencies especially the institution suffered a crisis of confidence of the public in carrying out routine institution programs. See this, the role of public relations became very important in an internal institutional organisation or institution. Because of public relations practitioners are indeed function as an intermediary to bridge between the institutions represented by agencies that exist within the Community (or the community itself), as a result of public relations responsibility evenly against the institution It represents the associated with the community.

Displacement from FATA Pakistan (2009-2016): Issues and Challenges
Authors: Ahmad Sohail , Sohail Sadia , Malik Muhammad Shoaib
Published: March 2019

Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) of Pakistan is one of the most neglected regions in the world as far as development is concerned. It has been the hub of all sorts of illegal activities including militancy and export of terrorism. Thus, it became inevitable for the government of Pakistan to act against militants through military operations. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced from the tribal areas of the country due to conflicts. Moreover, military operation Zarb-e-Azb has been launched in North Waziristan Agency in June 2014. Apart from its success, the operation displaced around 0.5 million people. This paper evaluates how the influx of these IDPs in the country is affecting the socio-economic situation. Secondly, attention has be paid to gauge the impact of such a huge number of displaced population on the law and order and security situation in the host areas.

Мета дослідження: Розглянути малодосліджені проблеми у вітчизняній науці, пов’язані з місцем імпровізації у театральній педагогіці. Методологію дослідження складають: розгляд поняття «імпровізація», її специфіка й місце в сценічній творчості актора (для обґрунтування практичних узагальнень); теоретичний метод прийомів імпровізації (для побудови аналогій розмежування професійної сцени і викладання дисципліни «Майстерність актора» з точки зору використання можливостей імпровізації); історично-порівняльний метод (для аналізу спільних та відмінних жанрово-стилістичних ознак імпровізації). Наукова новизна роботи полягає у розгляді базових функцій сценічної імпровізації з метою вияву специфіки педагогічних підходів до формування розуміння розвитку здібностей в імпровізаційній творчості студентів. Висновки. Доведено, що імпровізація як елемент акторської майстерності – важлива складова методичних підходів до навчання під час формування навичок студентів. Характерною рисою імпровізації є те, що вона дозволяє по-особливому подивитися на звичне у творчому процесі перевтілення. Під час імпровізації майбутнім актором створюється щось абсолютно нове й унікальне, і в цьому її сутність.

Published: March 2019

Мета роботи. дослідити вплив блюзу на неакадемічну музичну культуру XX століття, спираючись на аналіз музичної форми 12-тактового блюзу. Методологічною основою дослідження є системний підхід, який є характерним для культурології, та за допомогою якого можна здійснити різнобічний аналіз неакадемічної музики ХХ ст. Наукова новизна. Розвиток сучасного неакадемічного музичного мистецтва є можливим лише через вивчення його витоків та розвитку. Тому дослідження саме блюзу, як витоку багатьох стилів неакадемічної музичної культури ХХ ст. є вельми актуальним. Висновки. Блюз, зокрема музична форма 12-ти тактового блюзу, дійсно є неординарним та основоположним явищем в неакадемічній музичній культурі ХХ ст. Логіку музичної форми 12-тактового блюзу, ступінь узагальнення досвіду передуючих їй музичних жанрів, її вплив на подальші музичні напрями та стилі можна порівняти навіть не тільки з 8-ми тактовим періодом у класичній музиці, а навіть з формою «сонатного алегро».

Використано методи соціокультурного, мистецтвознавчого, естетичного та структурно-композиційного аналізу. Наукова новизна роботи полягає в виявленні основних етапів і складових, що визначили напрями розвитку експерименту в дизайні одягу. Запропоновано визначення експериментального формотворення в дизайні одягу. Доведено, що експериментальність стала найбільшою цінністю моди сучасності. Висновки. Досліджено розвиток експерименту в формотворенні європейського костюма ХХ – поч. ХХІ ст. Наголошено, що акцент на експеримент робився на певних етапах розвитку суспільства на прикладі політичних, економічних і соціокультурних подій. Наукові розробки, розвиток мистецької думки також значно сприяли актуалізації нових революційних форм одягу. Виділено основні характерні риси інноваційності жіночих образів для різних періодів. Визначено композиційні, морфологічні та конструктивно-технологічні властивості форм. Зазначено, що нині художня, конструктивна, технологічна майстерність поступається оригінальності ідеї, можливості руху навмання, безпосередності вираження, наївності, незакінченості. Прагматизм, конформізм та «споживацтво» призвели до повної відмови від будь-яких жорстких естетичних норм, зникло поняття «модного зразка», поступово воно трансформувалося в поняття «модного напряму» або «модного віяння». Усе це разом зі зростаючою індивідуалізацією (як протидія глобалізації суспільства) створило величезні можливості для естетичного плюралізму та експерименту в галузі дизайну одягу.

Regular Orthomodular Posets
Authors: Borzyszkowski Andrzej M.
Published: March 2019

Rozenberg and Ehrenfeucht has shown a duality between 2-structures (a.k.a. transition systems) and (elementary) Petri nets. The tool has been the notion of a region of a 2-structure, the regions then define a Petri net. Bernardinello et al. has observed that the regions of a 2-structure form an orthomodular poset and there is a similar relation between 2-structures and orthomodular posets.

While in the theory of 2-structures we may ask if a 2-structure is full and forward closed, the analogous notion for orthomodular posets is their regularity. In the present paper we study the problem of closing a given orthomodular poset to a regular one. This is a dual problem to closing a 2-structure, which has been studied by the author earlier. Also, as in a seminal work of Rozenberg and Ehrenfeucht, one can be interested in a concrete representation, i.e. as a family of sets. We show here an appropriate construction for orthomodular posets too.
Representation of Lattices with Modal Operators in Two-Sorted Frames
Authors: Hartonas Chrysafis , Orłowska Ewa
Published: March 2019

We study general lattices with normal unary operators for which we prove relational representation and duality results. Similar results have appeared in print, using Urquhart’s lattice representation, by the second author with Vakarelov, Radzikowska and Rewitzky. We base our approach in this article on the Hartonas and Dunn lattice duality, proven by Gehrke and Harding to deliver a canonical lattice extension, and on recent results by the first author on the relational representation of normal lattice operators. We verify that the operators at the representation level (appropriately generated by relations) are the canonical extensions of the lattice operators, in Gehrke and Harding’s sense.
Pythagorean Fuzzy Hamacher Power Aggregation Operators in Multiple Attribute Decision Making
Authors: Wei Gui-Wu
Published: March 2019

In this paper, we utilize Hamacher operations and power aggregation operators to develop some Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power aggregation operators: Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power average (PFHPA) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power geometric (PFHPG) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power weighted average (PFHPWA) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power weighted geometric (PFHPWG) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power ordered weighted average (PFHPOWA) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power ordered weighted geometric (PFHPOWG) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power hybrid average (PFHPHA) operator and Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher power hybrid geometric (PFHPHG) operator. The prominent characteristic of these proposed operators are studied. Then, we utilize these operators to develop some approaches to solve the multiple attribute decision making problems with Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (PFNs). Finally, a practical example is given to verify the developed approach and deliver a comparative analysis.

Pre-synaptic secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) from noradrenergic neurons may protect the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain from amyloid pathology. While the BDNF polymorphism (rs6265) is associated with faster cognitive decline and increased hippocampal atrophy, a replicable genetic association of BDNF with AD risk has yet to be demonstrated. This could be due to masking by underlying epistatic interactions between BDNF and other loci that encode proteins involved in moderating BDNF secretion (DBH and Sortilin). We performed a multi-cohort case-control association study of the BDNF, DBH, and SORT1 loci comprising 5,682 controls and 2,454 AD patients from Northern Europe (87% of samples) and Spain (13%). The BDNF locus was associated with increased AD risk (odds ratios; OR = 1.1–1.2, p = 0.005–0.3), an effect size that was consistent in the Northern European (OR = 1.1–1.2, p = 0.002–0.8) but not the smaller Spanish (OR = 0.8–1.6, p = 0.4–1.0) subset. A synergistic interaction between BDNF and sex (synergy factor; SF = 1.3–1.5 p = 0.002–0.02) translated to a greater risk of AD associated with BDNF in women (OR = 1.2–1.3, p = 0.007–0.00008) than men (OR = 0.9–1.0, p = 0.3–0.6). While the DBH polymorphism (rs1611115) was also associated with increased AD risk (OR = 1.1, p = 0.04) the synergistic interaction (SF = 2.2, p = 0.007) between BDNF (rs6265) and DBH (rs1611115) contributed greater AD risk than either gene alone, an effect that was greater in women (SF = 2.4, p = 0.04) than men (SF = 2.0, p = 0.2). These data support a complex genetic interaction at loci encoding proteins implicated in the DBH-BDNF inflammatory pathway that modifies AD risk, particularly in women.
Dynamic deformation analysis of power transformer windings considering the influence of temperature on elasticity characteristics of winding materials under short circuit fault
Authors: Wang Shuang , Wang Shuhong , Li Hailin , Yuan Dongsheng
Published: March 2019

The elastic characteristics of transformer winding materials have an important influence on its deformation due to short-circuit (SC) fault. This paper presents an electromagnetic-thermal-fluid-mechanical coupling analysis method for dynamic deformation calculation of power transformer windings under SC fault, considering the influence of temperature on modulus of elasticity of winding materials. The dependence of modulus of elasticity of spacer and copper conductor on temperature in transformer windings are tested by dynamic thermal mechanical analyzer. The transient dynamic response of windings deformation including mechanical stress and displacements, as well as temperature distribution, for an oil-immersed-type 110 kV power transformer due to SC are obtained using the proposed method. The maximum stress and displacement achieved by the proposed method is greater than that calculated neglecting the temperature dependence of elasticity of modulus of winding materials. The upper part of the winding are more susceptible to damage due to SC impact.
Empirical study on relationship between sports analytics and success in regular season and postseason in Major League Baseball
Authors: Chu David P. , Wang Cheng W.
Published: March 2019

In this paper, we study the relationship between sports analytics and success in regular season and postseason in Major League Baseball via the empirical data of 2014-2017. The categories of analytics belief, the number of analytics staff, and the total number of research staff employed by MLB teams are examined. Conditional probabilities, correlations, and various regression models are used to analyze the data. It is shown that the use of sports analytics might have some positive impact on the success of teams in the regular season, but not in the postseason. After taking into account the team payroll, we apply partial correlations and partial F tests to analyze the data again. It is found that the use of sports analytics, with team payroll already in the regression model, might still be a good indicator of success in the regular season, but not in the postseason. Moreover, it is shown that both the team payroll and the use of sports analytics are not good indicators of success in the postseason. The predictive modeling of decision trees is also developed, under different kinds of input and target variables, to classify MLB teams into no playoffs or playoffs. It is interesting to note that 87 wins (or 0.537 winning percentage) in a regular season may well be the threshold of advancing into the postseason.

The stock trading volume is the number of shares that are traded on the capital market every trading day with a price level agreed upon by the seller and buyer through an intermediary in the capital market. Stocks will be more liquid with the amount of investment in shares. To assess the volume of stock trading, investors can evaluate net income, cash flow and cash dividends. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of net income, cash flow and cash dividends on the volume of stock trading in 10 public goods and consumption sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) through a purposive sampling technique both simultaneously and partially. The research data were analyzed using multiple linear regression methods. The results of this study indicate that simultaneously net income, cash flow and cash dividends have significant effects on the volume of stock trading of public companies in the goods and consumption sector, while partially, only net income (β = 0.485) and cash flow (β= 1.587) have significant positive effects against the volume of stock trading.

Introdução: Bisfosfonatos são fármacos utilizados para o tratamento de enfermidades ósseas, como a osteoporose e metástases ósseas, em razão do seu mecanismo de ação, que consiste na diminuição do processo de reabsorção do osso. Outros estudos verificaram que bisfosfonatos de alta potência, como o zoledronato, poderiam auxiliar no tratamento de outras enfermidades malignas por causa da promoção de um efeito antiproliferativo. Objetivo: Este estudo in vitro objetivou avaliar a atividade antiproliferativa de zoledronato em diferentes linhagens de células tumorais. Método: Nove linhagens humanas (U251; MCF7; NCI/ADR-RES; 786-0; NCI-H460; PC-3; OVCAR-3; HT29; K-562 e HaCaT) foram submetidas ao tratamento com as concentrações de 0,12; 1,2; 12 e 120 μM de zoledronato e tiveram sua atividade proliferativa avaliada após 48 horas, utilizando-se o corante sulforrodamina B. Resultados: Verificou-se que as concentrações de 12 μM e 120 μM de zoledronato foram eficazes para a redução em 50% e 100%, respectivamente, da proliferação das células 786-0 (carcinoma renal). A maior concentração de zoledronato (120 μM) promoveu um efeito citostático (redução da proliferação celular em 50%) para as células HaCaT (queratinócito humano não tumoral), HT-29 (carcinoma de cólon), NCI-ADR/ RES (adenocarcinoma de ovário com fenótipo de multirresistência) e NCI-H460 (carcinoma pulmonar). Conclusão: Esses resultados sugerem um promissor efeito auxiliar do zoledronato para o tratamento de alguns tipos de tumores; estudos complementares in vitro e in vivo são necessários para a validação dessa hipótese.
Sustainable tourism: its evolution and its future

Este trabajo analiza la evolución del concepto de turismo sostenible, desde sus inicios, como una reacción de los académicos europeos al desarrollo turístico incontrolado en el periodo 1970- 85, que condujo a la investigación básica del turismo sostenible a finales de los años ochenta, seguido por una fase de investigación de segunda generación más proactiva y sofisticada alrededor del año 2010. Se discuten veinte tópicos de desarrollo de investigación futura. El documento concluye que el futuro del turismo sostenible radica en su implementación por parte de las empresas y los responsables políticos. Eso depende de que los académicos se involucren más con la industria y la política, lo que requiere la creación de institutos multidisciplinares y equipos de investigación internacionales. Se presentan algunos ejemplos.

Evaluation of the present human attitude towards world and society seems to be similar to the fears caused by the destruction of earlier visions of permanent and meaningful world that have taken place during Enlightenment. The visions of real dangers are accompanied by reflections on conditions of survival. At the same time the hope put on the ideology of self-regulating neoliberal market is fading and is being treated as a sort of masquerade. New thinking, „post-postmodern”, takes on the question how it should be so the World is preserved. And so emerges the awareness of the necessity of projects which will propose a future more stable compared to the postmodern model of maximum, cheap, accidental and current consumption, bureaucratic practice of neo-competition and a postpolitcs of small contemporary reactions manipulated by media hype. Post-postmodernity emerges today as minimalistic idea about fixing the most important faults of today according to the convention and ethics navigating according to the reason that is rooted in science.

Growth of the knowledge-based economy has been influenced by economic and technological processes in the contemporary world, particularly globalization and information revolution. Research and development activities, knowledge, new technologies and innovations have assumed a crucial significance at all levels of economic activity and for that reason are supported by government policies. According to a World Bank concept growth of the knowledge-based economy can be stimulated by four groups of determinants – or so-called pillars – including: economic and institutional system of a given country, education and training, information infrastructure and national innovation system. Activity of the innovation system promotes creation and diffusion of new knowledge and its application as innovations by national enterprises in co-operation with universities, research centers and public institutions. The activities of all entities can be stimulated by government innovation policies. The problems of national innovativeness are discussed from theoretical and empirical viewpoints, focusing on experience of Finland which is one of the leading countries in world’s rankings of knowledge economy and national innovation systems. The final conclusion underlines the fact that cross-border linkages of innovation systems within enterprises and countries can generate some threats to a national economy during global economic crisis.

Diverse perception of natural capital and sustainability in opposite approaches of environmental economics and ecological economics has impact on understanding and defining of sustainable development. Ecological economics approach based on strong and very strong sustainability is too ambitious for contemporary generation, although environmental economics approach based on weak sustainability is more realistic, but insufficient. Weaknesses of mainstream economics gave heterodoxy broad field for redefinition of sustainable development and for new synthesis for this socio-economic category. Demographic changes, duplication of Western consumption patterns in emerging economies and intensive pressure of global production and consumption on environment are the reasons why new agreements at international level on climate, energy, food security, access to clean water and protection other natural resources are needed. Effective coordination of actions and application of good governance standards taking into account such matters as human existential problems and needs, equity, access to information, social participation as well as indicators for sustainable development and green economy are also necessary,

Downturn on labour market caused by global economic crisis has led to increase in the number of tasks of LMP aimed at protection of existing jobs, providing social benefits to the unemployed and facilitating job search. Basic instruments of active and passive LMP are presented in the text as well as conditions and effectiveness of their application, and financing in the EU member states during economic crisis. The analysis performed showed that the LMP introduced in different states differed greatly depending on the chosen LMP model. It can be stated that expenses for active and passive instrument increased in all member states during crisis. However, the level of changes differed among the states. The largest increase has been noted among old member states. The largest share of the expenses for LMP was spent on passive LMP. During economic downturn the number of beneficiaries of passive LMP increased. The effectiveness of the instruments used is evaluated differently among the member states. Reliable analysis of LMP effectiveness during crisis requires more time and preparation of unified research methodology.

Contemporary theories of politics, and social assistance – stress that the effectiveness of social programs in the field of community work with groups at risk of marginalization processes is determined by quality of service provided in this area at the level of local institutions. The financial crisis of the welfare state – has highlighted the weakness of the central management of social programs, at the level of individual regions, and thus the need for a new approach to the problems of the excluded. Long-term unemployment, disability, many children and sex are those factors that promote the processes of exclusion – in Poland, a group particularly at risk are women who live outside large cities. The analysis shows that the appropriate support by local aid institutions – raises the prospect of becoming independent women still excluded from the labor market. However, in order to be successful, must be complied with certain conditions into account the local conditions of socio-economic potential. A chance for the preparation of programs targeted to a specific group, including its characteristics and needs – are carried out from 2008 projects under the Human Capital Operational Programme, funded by the European Union. In this elaboration I present the experience of three municipalities voivodeship with the implementation of programs for the group of unemployed women.
