Authors: Aznabaev B. M. , Dibaev T. I. , Ismagilov T. N.
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Idiopathic macular hole (IMH) is a frequent disorder of the posterior segment of the eye that impacts on visual functions leading to the reduction of visual acuity and the manifestation of metamorphopsia. In the majority of cases the basic treatment technique for IMH is a three-port transconjunctival guillotine vitrectomy. In the key of the further development of vitrectomy the latest and most interesting is the use of ultrasonic energy for vitreous fragmentation. Members of staff of the Department of Ophthalmology with the Course of Additional Professional Education of Bashkir State Medical University jointly with the Department of Microsurgical Equipment of CJSC Optimedservice have built a 25G ultrasonic vitrectomy system with the mechanism of action that turns the vitreous body into easy-to-remove emulsion with the use of ultrasound.

Materials and methods. This paper presents a clinical case of idiopathic macular hole successfully treated with the method of 25G subtotal ultrasonic vitrectomy.

Results and discussion. The data obtained through comprehensive ophthalmological examination and supported by fundus-camera, OCT and OCTA images made it possible to make a diagnosis of vitreomacular traction syndrome, idiopathic macular hole, J. D. Gass stage 3. 25G subtotal ultrasonic vitrectomy was performed on the universal ophthalmic surgery system Optimed Profi (Optimedservice, Russia) with intraoperative OCT-controlled internal limiting membrane staining and peeling, and apposition of the macular hole edges with gas tamponade. A good outcome, both anatomical and functional, was achieved; IMH has closed and a positive visual acuity dynamic has been recorded.

Conclusion. We can thus conclude that 25G subtotal ultrasonic vitrectomy with ILM peeling and gas tamponade is an effective IMH treatment method that ensures high visual functions.
The Role of Teachers in Teaching Sexual Education for Primary School Students

Published: November 2019

Teachers in primary school have role as second parents at school by teaching and guiding students to prepare them for real life in the community. Primary school students, in the age range 6-12 years, are prepared for further development in adolescence or puberty. At that age, both male and female students are exposed to various sexual problems. Therefore, it is important to provide sexual education for primary school students. Unfortunately, schools only teach the function of reproductive organs. Teachers do not explain the dangers of sexual deviance and important values ​​of sexual education. Often teachers are very awkward when they teach something related to sex. It makes children curious and will find out more about sex by themselves. They look for it on the internet where there are a lot of inappropriate content for primary school students. The lack of sex education needs to be improved so that cases of adolescents who have premarital sex, people who are pregnant out of wedlock and other sexual deviations may be reduced in the future. Therefore, teachers are expected to play a big role in accompanying the growth and sexual development of students. This paper contains thoughts and ideas of the author in maximizing the role of teachers in teaching sexual education for primary school students.

Published: November 2019

Concerned by increased problems about the students’ reading quality, this study was carried out to investigate the reading approach of English major students of Ambo University. To achieve this objective, all 52(31 male and 21 female) English major students of the University were purposely selected for the study because the number of the students is small to manage. Both quantitative and qualitative data were obtained from the respondents through Reading Achievement Tests, Questionnaire and Structured Interview and analyzed accordingly. The study mainly focused on the students’ approach to reading (adapted top-down or bottom-up) and the students’ ability to identify the main ideas and details, explicitly stated and implied information, the purpose and the tone of authors in five different reading genres: dialogues, directions, article, essays, and poems.  The overall result of the study showed that 89.7% of the University students were exclusively limited to bottom-up approaches to reading and frustrated to determine the main ideas and implied information in the texts. In other words, no student answered more than 78% in reading comprehension items correctly in the tests. Moreover, half of the students could not answer above 50% in the comprehension questions. Therefore, the prescriptions for the solution  to the problem lies in bringing about improvement in the students’ interactive approach to reading and thereby, improve students’ ability to identify the main ideas and details, explicitly stated and implied information, the purpose and the tone of authors in different reading genres: dialogues, articles, essays, directions and poem.
Hajdúböszörmény református orgonái

Organs in the reformed churches of Hajdúböszörmény.
The main churches in Hajdúböszörmény, both of remarkable size inherit two Angster-organs with 3 manuals. The older and bigger organ in the church of Bocskai Square was built 1902 with three manuals and 46 stops. All divisions are constructed with different windchests by using tubular pneumatic action: the great and pedal with cone chest, the second manual with Witzig-type pneumatic windchest and the third manual using the Angster-type pneumatic windchest. This is indeed a unique solution by Angster, later one he never used the Witzig-systhem again, for pneumatic windchests he used the Angster-type pneumatic construction. The organ in the Kálvin Square church was originally built 1899, with slider chests, tracker action and barker lever, pneumatic action for the stops. Angster rebuilt it in 1914, the organ received new Angster-type pneumatic windchests and a new console with roll-player mechanism with three manuals and 38 stops. After several modifications, the organ was reconstructed to its original state in 2014–2016 as the first pneumatic-reconstruction project in Hungary. The Bocskai Square organ is after improper reparations still unplayable, the congregation launched benefit concerts by professionals in November 2018 to gain bigger public attention to this organ-treasure.
Liszt Ferenc „Próféta-fantáziá”ja mint orgonamű. Az első kiadás tanulságai
Authors: MÉHES Balázs
Published: November 2019

Franz Liszt’s Prophet’s Fantasy as an Organ work. Conclusions of the first edition.
The piece in the title, dated back in 1850, was a milestone. It is not only the first and most significant organ piece of Liszt, but also one of those pieces which every organist has to deal with sooner or later, and for the interpretation, they have to ask and answer many questions. For this study, the first edition, published in 1852 and available online, provides many references, while the manuscript is difficult to access. It is no coincidence that, at the hundredth anniversary of Bach’s death, Liszt began to write a large-scale organ piece to worship the art of the great composer. It may also be intentional to date the completion of the piece on the Remembrance Day of the Reformation. Both the inevitability of the composition, and the Protestant aspects, and not lastly, the personal commitment of Professor István Dávid to the piece, prompt me to try to find answers to some of the basic questions of this grandiose piece, and publish them – without the need of complete-ness – in the book to be published in honour of him.

The royal couple and education.
In this study, we discuss the attitudes of György I Rákóczi, prince of Transylvania and his wife, Zsuzsanna Lorántffy, towards education. First, after clarifying that the widely known painting depicting Zsuzsanna Lorántffy is not in fact her portrait, we examined the couple’s own education. We are convinced that this has determined the couple’s later behaviour, their relationship to education and the church. Biblical piety has been a very important element in their lives. They have grown up in this spirit since their childhood. They read the Bible every day, it was an integral part of their lives, as evidenced by their writings in their Bibles. Their piety, life, attitude, and church policy were based on the Bible. The education, whether in the lives of their own children, in educating their household, or in the establishment and support of educational institutions, has also manifested itself in an extraordinary way. We can say that György I Rákóczi and Zsuzsanna Lorántffy were neither typical parents, nor typical prince and princess. Besides trying to offer their own children the best education and teachers, they did not forget about educating their servants and their peasants on their estate. This is evidenced by their abundant donations, their orders, the gratitude of the teachers in the institutes, the lives and thanksgiving of the many preachers who receive many great opportunities and support.
Analógiák az erdélyi mennyezetfestmények és a katakombafreskók képteológiájában

Analogies between the Image Theology of the Transylvanian Ceiling Paintings and the Catacomb Frescos.
The age of institutionalization and consolidation of the Reformation coincides with the blooming of Renaissance art, and this is why this style was adopted by religious architecture and ornamentation. The emergence of the new style gradually led to the appearance of paintings on the tablets in the Protestant churches as well, being decorated with images, in particular, the choir boards and ceiling coffers. The primary source of the painted coffered ceilings is considered to be the painting on wooden boards during the Italian Renaissance and starting from here, in the entire Carpathian Basin and in Transylvania, the ancient art of catacomb painting has re-emerged through these painted coffers. Like the frescoes in the catacombs, the painted ceilings are not icons, their vast panorama turning, rather, towards metacommunication through which eternal life can be contemplated. As with the motifs used in the catacomb paintings, all the figures on the coffered ceilings represent symbols and emblems of the church and nature, finding a justification in the Protestant theology of the image. The painted ceilings therefore represent a means of metacommunication, of mediation, referring to the invisible world of the Scriptures and Gospels, this invisible world being depicted by real or imaginary animals and plants, and generally through figurative and floral ornamentation. The coffers are the ideal of the sanctification of life, the life created by God, which is sublimated into a higher existence, honouring God through the paintings. This study parallels the richness of motifs on the painted boxes and the frescoes in the catacombs, presenting the found similarities.

Operationalising Responsible Research and Innovation – tools for enterprises
Authors: Nazarko Lukasz , Melnikas Borisas
Published: November 2019

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is an emerging paradigm and a novel approach to governing science and innovation with the aim of making them ethically acceptable and socially desirable. RRI concept has become a popular term as a result of making it a cross-cutting theme for the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme. Up to date, research on the topic has focused on conceptual problems (relation with similar concepts as well as ethical, moral, philosophical, cultural underpinnings and assumptions) and on the possibilities of making the concept relevant to the Research & Innovation community in Europe and worldwide. Despite some initial efforts, there is still a need to further develop methods and techniques that could make RRI a useful framework for conducting innovation activities, especially in the business environment. The aim of this paper is to propose a range of approaches that help operationalise RRI. The approaches employ methods such as weighted indicators, maturity models and scorecards.
Development of intelligent agents through collaborative innovation
Authors: Kot Mateusz , Leszczyński Grzegorz
Published: November 2019

This study focuses on the development of a specific type of Intelligent Agents — Business Virtual Assistants (BVA). The paper aims to identify the scope of collaboration between users and providers in the process of agent development and to define the impact that user interpretations of a BVA agent have on this collaboration. This study conceptualises the collaboration between providers and users in the process of the BVA development. It uses the concept of the collaborative development of innovation and sensemaking. The empirical part presents preliminary exploratory in-depth interviews conducted with CEOs of BVA providers and analyses the use of the scheme offered by Miles and Hubermann (1994). The main results show the scope of the collaboration between BVA users and providers in the process of the BVA development. User engagement is crucial in the development of BVA agents since they are using machine learning algorithms. The user interpretation through sensemaking influences the process as their attitudes guide their behaviour. Apart from that, users have to adjust to this new kind of entity in the market and learn how to use it in line with savoir-vivre rules. This paper suggests the need to develop a new approach to the collaborative development of innovation when Artificial Intelligence is involved.

Authors: Walecka-Jankowska Katarzyna , Zimmer Joanna
Published: November 2019

The paper aims to analyse the relationship between different types of corporate strategy and open innovation in the contexts of the age, size and the operational range of enterprises. The research targeted companies in Poland that were surveyed from January to April, using traditional and electronic forms of a questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed based on a 5-point Likert scale. The level of “openness” of innovation processes in an enterprise was determined according to a 3-point scale, namely, a closed innovator, a hybrid or semi-open innovator, and an open innovator. The strategy implemented by an enterprise was classed into main three types used to achieve a competitive advantage, i.e. cost leadership, differentiation or diversification. There is a strong correlation between open innovations, the cost leadership strategy and the differentiation strategy (negative correlation). The relationship between the age, size and the range of a company and the opening of innovative processes was also observed. The research aims to fill the knowledge gap existing in the literature regarding the links between a particular type of strategy and the opening of innovation processes.
CRM influence on organisational performance — the moderating role of IT reliability
Authors: Tworek Katarzyna , Sałamacha Anna
Published: November 2019

Purpose. This article mainly aims to verify the role of IT reliability as the factor potentially strengthening the CRM influence on organisational performance and conclude whether the IT reliability is indeed an important factor shaping the CRM ability to generate value for an organisation. Methodology. The empirical research was conducted to verify the existence of such a relation. The research was carried out based on the survey performed among organisations, and the sample included 558 entities from Poland and 564 from Switzerland. The statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out using regression analysis with the moderator. Results. The obtained models clearly show that IT reliability is a moderator of the relation between CRM time-of-use and the organisational performance. The theoretical contribution. The obtained results clearly confirm that the existing IT solutions should support CRM, and with such support, this management method is positively influencing the organisational performance. Such a conclusion seems to be an important contribution to the studied field of research, filling the research gap concerning the mechanism of IT support for CRM. It remains consistent with the views from the literature and contributes to their extension.

Published: November 2019

The current competitive environment is only favourable to those companies that can cope with changes and use them to their advantage. The innovation of business processes is required to improve financial performance. Scientific works have not yet offered an effective solution to the monitoring of the impact made by process reengineering on corporate financial results. This work presents the case of a business process reengineering in a particular company to improve its performance. The results of implemented reengineering are analysed from the point of view of the impact made on the financial situation of the company. The paper aims to demonstrate the implementation of reengineering and evaluate its impact on the financial standing of a company and its performance. The practical application of reengineering was made according to Hammer and Champy methodology, which is based on the analysis of production processes in the company, the implementation of selected reengineered production processes and the evaluation of the reengineering impact on the corporate financial situation and performance. During the evaluation, the selected indicators of financial performance, activity indicators, the indebtedness indicator, business performance indicators as a cash flow to measure financial flows and the economic value-added (indicator EVA) were calculated and analysed. Subsequent to financial analyses and based on the selected indicators, the authors concluded that the implemented reengineering of the production process increased the performance and value of the company, which had a positive impact on the company’s financial situation. The funds spent on the proper implementation of the reengineering steps were effectively used, and the reengineering process was also timed. This contribution to the body of theoretic knowledge links the implementation of reengineering and the part of the financial analysis, which is related to the preparation, implementation and reengineering results.
Examining the Link between the Governance Mechanisms and Supply Chain Performance — an Empirical Study within the Triadic Context
Authors: Swierczek Artur
Published: November 2019

The goal of the research is twofold. First, it aims to reveal the basic modes of governance run by the manufacturer across the examined triadic supply chains. Secondly, the paper compares the groups of triadic supply chains, applying certain modes of governance, including network governance, in terms of the relational benefits and supply chain performance. To investigate the relationship between network governance and the supply chain performance, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax Rotation was used, followed by the cluster analysis and non-parametric tests. The study showed that the triadic supply chains significantly differentiate in terms of the modes of governance. Further findings also indicated that the triadic supply chains that follow the network governance mode consider their performance to be significantly higher in comparison to the supply chains that do not run this type of governance mechanism. Firstly, the research showed that it is difficult to unequivocally reveal the pure mechanisms of governance, undistorted by the influence of another distinct mode in the triadic supply chains. On the contrary, they are more or less influenced by other modes of governance distinguished in the literature. Likewise, it is also important to highlight that the mechanism of governance is inseparably bound with a certain dyadic relationship established between two actors in the wider structure of supply chains. The study also showed that incorporating a clan as a social mechanism of governance together with a market and hierarchy results in increasing the relational benefits and overall performance for both dyads in the triadic supply chains.

Published: November 2019

Background

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynaecological tumours in the worldwide. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) promotes cell proliferation, migration and invasion in EC cells. However, the molecular mechanisms of NEAT1 in EC have not been fully clarified. We conducted this study to reveal the function of NEAT1 in EC tissues and cell lines.

Materials and methods

Cancer and adjacent tissues were collected from EC patients. HEC-1A and Ishikawa cells were cultured in vitro. NEAT1 expression was downregulated by transfecting small hairpin RNA (shRNA) and miR-144-3p was overexpressed by transfecting miR-144-3p mimics. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and colony formation assay. Cell migration and invasion abilities were assessed by transwell assay. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the relationship among NEAT1, EZH2, and miR-144-3p. The expression level of EZH2 was measured by Western blot and qPCR.

Results

NEAT1 was highly expressed in EC tissues and cells. Knockdown of NEAT1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of EC cells. Additionally, NEAT1 acted as a ceRNA of miR-144-3p, leading to EZH2 upregulation. Overexpression of miR-144-3p suppressed the proliferation and invasion of EC cells.

Conclusions

NEAT1 promotes EC cells proliferation and invasion by regulating the miR-144-3p/EZH2 axis.
Retrieved cerebral thrombi studied by T

Authors: Vidmar Jernej , Bajd Franci , Milosevic Zoran V. , Kocijancic Igor J. , Jeromel Miran , Sersa Igor
Published: November 2019

Background

Recent advances in MRI technology makes it increasingly more competitive to CT also in the field of interventions. Multi-parametric MRI offers a significant amount of data relevant for characterization of human cerebral thrombi.

Patients and methods

Cerebral thrombi of 17 patients diagnosed with acute stroke were acquired by mechanical thrombectomy. The thrombi were subsequently scanned using a high spatial-resolution 3D T
1-weighted MRI to obtain morphological characteristics of the thrombi and also by apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and transversal nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation time (T
2) mapping. The MRI results were analysed for possible correlations between thrombectomy procedure parameters (recanalization time and number of passes) and MR-measurable parameters (sample-mean ADC and T
2, within-sample coefficient of variation of ADC and T
2, and thrombus length).

Results

Both MRI mapping techniques enabled a good discrimination among thrombi regions of different water mobility and compaction. Within-sample coefficient of variation of ADC was found most sensitive for discrimination between the thrombi where thrombectomy procedure was performed in a single pass and those where is was performed in two or more passes (p = 0.03). Interestingly, negative correlation was found between the recanalization time and thrombus length (ρ = -0.22).

Conclusions

Preliminary results of presented study shows that pretreatment MRI assessment of thrombi in stroke patients could potentially ease stroke treatment planning. In this study it is shown that within-sample coefficient of variation of ADC could serve for prediction of possible complications during thrombectomy procedures.

W pracy ustalono, że skojarzenia z sektorami gospodarki nawiązująw dużo większym stopniu do zachodniocentrycznej percepcji Europy niż do ich znaczenia w ekonomii europejskichpaństw. Nie stwierdzono istotnych zmian w wyobrażeniu podziału sektorowego gospodarki pomiędzylatami 2005 i 2016.
Globalne uwarunkowania rozwoju i czynniki lokalizacji usług dla biznesu – przykład Gdyni
Authors: Tarkowski Maciej
Published: November 2019

Usługi dla biznesu to jedna z najdynamiczniej rozwijających się dziedzin globalnej gospodarki. Począwszy od połowy pierwszej dekady XXI wieku największe polskie miasta, w tym funkcjonalny obszar miejski Gdańska i Gdyni, stały się jednymi z czołowych miejsc, do których międzynarodowe korporacje przenoszą wybrane rodzaje aktywności. Celem studium przypadku Gdyni jest wskazanie czynników lokalizacji decydujących o strukturze napływających inwestycji. W studium wykorzystano podejście indukcyjne, opierając się głównie na analizie dotychczasowego dorobku naukowego oraz informacji dotyczących analizowanych podmiotów. W pracy wskazano główne czynniki lokalizacji usług biznesowych. Cechują one także polskie miasta, w tym Gdynię. Mocne strony Gdyni to przede wszystkim bardzo dobra dostępność nowoczesnej powierzchni biurowej i dostępność komunikacyjna. Trójmiasto wyróżnia się również dużymi zasobami pracy – konkurencja o pracowników nie jest jeszcze bardzo nasilona. Obok inwestorów wykorzystujących typowe dla dużych polskich aglomeracji czynniki lokalizacji (centra usług wspólnych albo outsourcingu procesów gospodarczych) w Gdyni działają podmioty dyskontujące specyfikę położenia i struktury gospodarki. W mieście istnieją podmioty doskonalące usługi teleinformatyczne, prowadzące działalność doradczą i szkoleniową na rzecz stoczni, armatorów, a także innych dużych przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych oraz biura projektujące statki i konstrukcje morskie. Tego rodzaju podmioty tworzą gdyńską specyfikę usług dla biznesu.
Ocena udziału sektorów w zróżnicowaniu struktur zatrudnienia w Warszawie i powiatach sąsiadujących w latach 2005–2014
Authors: Markowska Małgorzata , Sokołowski Andrzej
Published: November 2019

Celem pracy jest identyfikacja zróżnicowania struktur (kształtu i skali) zatrudnienia w Warszawie i powiatach sąsiednich w ujęciu dynamicznym oraz ocena znaczenia sektorów gospodarki w tym zróżnicowaniu. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki oceny udziału takich sektorów, jak: rolnictwo, przemysł oraz usługi, w podziale na handel, usługi finansowe oraz pozostałe usługi, w zróżnicowaniu struktur zatrudnienia w Warszawie i powiatach, które ze stolicą sąsiadują, czyli: legionowskim, mińskim, otwockim, wołomińskim, piaseczyńskim, pruszkowskim oraz warszawskim zachodnim. Badanie przeprowadzono w latach 2005–2014, a do realizacji celu pracy wykorzystano – w porównaniach przestrzennych – miary oceniające udział składnika w zróżnicowaniu (niepodobieństwie) dwóch struktur. Miara URij pozwala na ocenę udziału i-tego składnika w niepodobieństwie rozmiaru dwóch struktur, zaś miara UKij – w niepodobieństwie kształtu struktur. Uzyskane wyniki pozwalają zarówno na dokonywanie porównań dla poszczególnych sektorów w konkretnych powiatach, jak i na porównywanie powiatów dla konkretnego sektora. Odnośnie rozmiaru struktury zauważono zdominowanie przez Warszawę miar udziału poszczególnych sektorów w niepodobieństwie struktury zatrudnienia oraz fakt, że hierarchia powiatów (poza piaseczyńskim) nie ulegała zmianom. W zakresie kształtu struktur stwierdzono zdecydowanie wyższy udział przemysłu i rolnictwa w strukturze zatrudnienia w powiatach ościennych oraz chaotyczne (a przez to trudne do interpretacji) zmiany w usługach finansowych. Przeprowadzone analizy potwierdzają potrzebę osobnego rozważania efektu rozmiaru i efektu kształtu w porównywaniu struktur.
Aktywność patentowa państw OECD w ujęciu regionalnym – konwergencja czy utrzymanie status quo
Authors: Szajt Marek
Published: November 2019

Celem badań prezentowanych w artykule była analiza poziomu innowacyjności państw OECD na poziomie regionalnym w latach 2000–2011. Zakres czasowy ograniczony jest ze względu na dostępność danych. W badaniach uwzględniono aktywność patentową jako miarę innowacyjności oraz nakłady na działalność B+R i zatrudnienie w sektorze B+R jako jej determinanty. Jako narzędzie badawcze wykorzystano wielowymiarową analizę statyczną i modelowanie ekonometryczne. Analizując zmiany w aktywności patentowej na poziomie poszczególnych państw (w podziale na regiony), wykorzystano analizę beta-konwergencji oraz modele przestrzenno-czasowe dla całej grupy państw. Wyniki potwierdziły, że w większości badanych państw obserwuje się pewną konwergencję aktywności, jednak jej istotność możemy potwierdzić jedynie w połowie przypadków. Obserwowana niekiedy dywergencja w żadnym z przypadków nie została potwierdzona jako istotna statystycznie. Można zatem wnioskować o ogólnej tendencji „równania w górę” w zakresie wzrostu poziomu innowacyjności w państwach OECD. Z kolei analiza ekonometryczna umożliwiła wskazanie dystansu pomiędzy aktywnością patentową poszczególnych regionów i państw. Te silniej rozwinięte, mimo zrozumiałego spowolnienia, korzystają z wykreowanego potencjału i trzymają niemal trwały dystans względem pozostałych. W ujęciu ogólnym zmiany dostrzegalne są raczej w obrębie bardziej jednorodnych (pod względem rozwoju) grup niż pomiędzy nimi.
Spatial Structure and Distribution of Manufacturing Industries in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana
Authors: Temurçin Kadir , Kervankıran İsmail , Dziwornu Michael Gameli
Published: November 2019

A key driving force and determinant of a country’s worth in the globalized world is inherent in its level of industrialization. Certainly, other dimensions are crucial and come into play, however, the infamous classification of nations into industrialized and non-industrialized has added substantial merit to the concept. Essentially, industrialization in Ghana was based on the premise of the production and processing of its vast natural resources from traditionally primary products to tertiary and finished goods. While the industry can boast of employment generation and a model of economic growth in the 1960s and 1970s, inadequate implementation of industrial policies has resulted in the consistent contraction of the manufacturing subsector. Manufacturing sector contribution to GDP declined from 36.69% in 2000 to 6.7% in 2012 and therefore is considered the weakest link in Ghana’s industrial drive. This paper examines the growth, spatial structure, and distribution of manufacturing industries in the Greater Accra region using districts as the unit of analysis. The Greater Accra region has traditionally been the focal point of Ghana’s industrial development accounting for 23.4% of all manufacturing establishment as of 2015, most of which are concentrated in the Accra and Tema Metropolitan areas due to obvious political, socioeconomic and mobility factors. Examining historical data from 1962–2010, we found that despite the overwhelmingly large localization of manufacturing industries delete in Accra and Tema Metropolitan areas, a relative spatial redistribution of manufacturing industries was evident in the peripheral district of the region. Furthermore, the change in distribution is reflected in the pattern of employment at the district level, which per our findings shows a relative diffusion from the core districts of Accra to districts located in the peripheries. The study also found that industrial policies, such as free trade zone initiative, decentralization policies, foreign investment and improvements in critical infrastructure, have resulted in the relative spatial diffusion of manufacturing industries. These findings are significant because they show how areas without previous manufacturing base have witnessed the emergence of some form of industry.

Authors: Wójtowicz Mirosław
Published: November 2019

Artykuł ma na celu zbadanie zmian znaczenia przemysłu samochodowego w rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym Meksyku, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem 16 stanów, w których koncentruje się jego działalność. W analizie uwzględniono okres od połowy lat osiemdziesiątych XX wieku do ostatniego spisu przemysłowego w 2014 roku. W tym czasie zaszły zasadnicze zmiany w polityce rządu względem tego sektora, zrywające ze strategią jego rozwoju na bazie rynku wewnętrznego na korzyść zwiększania produkcji eksportowej. W celu określenia znaczenia sektora motoryzacyjnego w poszczególnych stanach wzięto pod uwagę wielkość zatrudnienia oraz udział w wartości dodanej brutto (WDB). Przeprowadzone badania pozwoliły stwierdzić, iż wraz ze zmianą międzynarodowych i krajowych uwarunkowań rozwoju przemysłu samochodowego, prowadzących do zmian w jego przestrzennym rozmieszczeniu, odegrał on bardzo ważną rolę w rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym stanów będących w ostatnich dwóch dekadach miejscami nowych inwestycji związanych z tym sektorem. Równocześnie zmniejszyło się jego znaczenie w rozwoju tych stanów, w których zlokalizowane były zakłady w początkowej fazie jego rozwoju.
Strategies of International Companies as a Research Problem of Geography of Enterprise
Authors: Tobolska Anna
Published: November 2019

The main goal of the article is to analyse strategies of international enterprises, undertaken in the processes of internationalisation and expansion into foreign markets. Due to the spatial dimension of these processes, the issues related to the strategies of large foreign investors also appear in the research of geography of enterprise. It is since the functioning of international enterprises can be understood as a result of processes arising from a combination of mutual relations between their management strategy and local conditions in their environment, which in turn affects the diverse range of spatial impacts. The presented study focuses on the analysis of strategies adopted at the highest organisational level, i.e. on comprehensive internationalisation strategies, which most synthetically reflect how enterprises operate on foreign markets. Subsequently, the paper presents the model concept of strategic orientations of C.A. Bartlett and S. Ghoshal, which due to the extended spectrum of identification criteria is more operational. Moreover, in the presented concept, the basic dimensions of internationalisation, i.e. the configuration of the organisational structure and the coordination of activities on international markets, indicate a significant geographical dimension of internationalisation processes. The presented conceptual model also points to new possibilities of interpreting the strategy of international enterprises using the I-R paradigm, which may be particularly useful for the research goals realised in the field of the geography of enterprise.

Prawo pomocy społecznej jako wyraz nowych rozwiązań w prawie administracyjnym
Authors: Nitecki Stanisław
Published: November 2019

Social assistance is a part of administrative law, which has developed along with the systemic reforms carried out in Poland after 1989. It is currently one of the fastest growing parts of administrative law. It results in the fact that social assistance introduces into the theory of administrative law new solutions that did not appear earlier and also leads to taking a new look at the already existing institutions and concepts. Social assistance has led to displaying the prominence of axiology in administrative law, including concepts such as dignity and solidarity. A new look at the issue of constitutive decision has become necessary and, in particular, it can have retroactive effects. Social assistance has also brought a new look at issues pertaining to family, giving it the legal status and equipping it with the ability to apply for certain benefits.
Ewolucja administracyjnego aparatu egzekucyjnego
Authors: Przybysz Piotr
Published: November 2019

The paper presents changes in the way of organizing administrative duties enforcement authorities that took place after 1990. It was found that the changes were caused primarily by alterations in the public administration system. The positive side of the changes is the introduction of the principle that enforcement authorities can be established only by law. The number of bodies authorized to conduct administrative enforcement has decreased, which creates better conditions for the specialization of officials in the field of administrative enforcement. On the other hand, the negative side of the changes is their partial nature and modification of changes after a short period of their validity, and even a return to previous solutions. The legislator does not seem to have a coherent concept of the organization of the administrative enforcement apparatus.

Mediation is a new institution in administrative proceedings aims to provide a partnership approach of the administration to citizens and to enable which participation of the public in administrative governance. However, the introduction of mediation into administrative proceedings raises doubts as to its practical applicability, especially given the current reluctance of administration to the binding provisions of the agreement in view of the fact that mediation proceedings bring many unquestionable benefits also to the administration, there is a hope that it will adapt better than in judicial-administrative proceedings, where it is not applied.
Centralne Repozytorium Informacji Publicznej jako tryb ponownego wykorzystywania informacji
Authors: Sybilski Dominik
Published: November 2019

The Central Public Information Repository (CRIP) was introduced into the legal system by the act of 16 September 2011 amending the act on access to public information. The main goal behind the introduction of CRIP was to support the economic exploitation of information. CRIP’s functions are implemented by the Ministry of Administration and Digitization launching an open public data portal (danepubliczne.gov.pl) in May 2014. So far, CRIP has appeared in the literature in the context of access to public information. However, there is a lack of works on CRIP as a national open data portal to distribute information for re-use. This issue in particular has become increasingly important in view of the adoption by the Council of Ministers of the Public Data Access Program, a government strategy dedicated to public policy in the area of open data. Furthermore, due to the entry into force of the Act of 25 February 2016 on the re-use of public sector information, there is an interesting issue about the scope of the CRIP. The article analyzes CRIP regulations in terms of their effectiveness for the implementation of the right to reuse and the policy of open data. The article concludes the findings of the analysis and attempts to propose de lege ferenda conclusion.
Wielopostaciowość form działania administracji publicznej na przykładzie wymogu implementacji dyrektywy Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady (UE) 2016/1148 z dnia 6 lipca 2016 r. w sprawie środków na rzecz wysokiego wspólnego poziomu bezpieczeństwa sieci i sys

The article describes numerous forms of actions of public administration authorities, characteristic of the execution of requirements stemming from Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and the Council of 6 July 2016 concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union. In particular, it addresses the issues, such as: identifying operators of essential services, dealing with computer security incidents, control activities, restitutive measures and punitive measures. It has been demonstrated that, as regards cybersecurity, from the perspective of the requirements of effective implementation of the NIS Directive and good governance assumptions, it is appropriate to adopt hybrid forms of actions of administration authorities, based both on classic sovereign forms of actions of administration authorities (administrative decisions issued in cases regarding the recognition of an operator of an essential service, in cases concerning administrative pecuniary sanctions), as well as on other forms of actions (related to the exchange of information, issuance of recommendations, use of notices or providing technical support).

Published: November 2019

Численные методы, базирующиеся на решении задачи Римана о распаде произвольного разрыва, крайне требовательны к вычислительным ресурсам. Для применения данных численных методов на современных расчетных сетках требуется использование суперкомпьютера. Среди различных инструментов повышения производительности суперкомпьютерных приложений можно выделить векторизацию программного кода. Набор инструкций AVX-512 обладает рядом уникальных возможностей, позволяющих применить векторизацию к программному контексту римановского решателя, что ведет к значительному ускорению решателя. На примере точного римановского решателя рассматривается практический подход к векторизации разнообразного программного контекста, включая простые линейные участки, регионы со сложным управлением, а также вложенные циклы. В основе рассматриваемого подхода лежит возможность одновременного выполнения на одном процессорном ядре нескольких экземпляров некоторой чистой функции. Данная возможность достигается путем перевода программного кода в предикатную форму и использования векторных инструкций. При этом количество одновременно выполняющихся экземпляров равно ширине вектора. Показано, что использование возможностей набора команд AVX-512 позволяет успешно векторизовать рассматриваемый программный контекст. Предложенный подход может быть применен для векторизации широкого спектра приложений.
