This paper is entitled "Implications of the Relationship between Arastamar Bengkulu College of Theology for the Development of Missionary Services for the Evangelical Christian Church in Indonesia, the City of Bengkulu Congregation." The facts show that not necessarily a graduate of the Theological College can be accepted into a church. This condition is shown by the lack of support from the Church to an Theological College and Theological College does not give graduates to a church. Despite these facts, the author sees different facts between the Arastamar Bengkulu Theological Seminary (STTAB) and the Evangelical Christian Church in Indonesia (GEKISIA) Bengkulu City. The author obtained data that there are many developments specifically in mission services since the arrival of STTAB and collaborating with GEKISIA, Bengkulu City. This development is very important for the writer to research and describe in scientific work. From the observation, it shows that the development of mission services in GEKISIA, Bengkulu City occurs because of the large use of mission personnel from STTAB graduates. Pioneering Evangelical Service Posts (PI) increased to 6 PI Posts. This development needs to be studied theoretically so that through writing it can contribute to the development of missionary services in the Church and other Christian institutions, and revitalize the relationship between Theological College and the Church.

The article is dedicated to the great philosopher al-Farabi's philosophy of the “four virtues” that lead to happiness in the city. The scientist tells the secret of the «four virtues» that lead the people of the city to a happy life in this world and great happiness in the next. The people of this city do not commit crimes, they love to do good, the members of the society are polite and the leader is fair. In order to create such a society, people need to master the «four virtues» – theoretical, intellectual, ethical and practical arts. Al-Farabi personally reveals these four virtues and describes the methods of imparting them to the people. He then explains what «happiness» is and how to achieve it in order for people to be happy. The philosopher describes what it means to be a leader who leads such a good nation to happiness. He is fair, polite, educated, eloquent and a philosopher. Мақала ұлы ойшыл әл-Фарабидің қала тұрғындарын бақытқа жетелейтін «төрт ізгілік» философиясына арналған. Ғалым қала тұрғындарын бұл дүниеде рахат өмірге, о дүниеде асқақ бақытқа жеткізетін «төрт ізгіліктің» сырын айтады. Бұл қаланың тұрғындары қылмыс жасамайды, ізгілік қылғанды жақсы көреді, қоғам мүшелері әдепті, басшысы әділ. Осындай қоғамды құру үшін халық «төрт ізгілікті» – теориялық, ойшылдық, этикалық және практикалық өнерлерді игерулері қажет. Әл-Фараби бұл төрт ізгілікті жеке ашып, оларды халыққа дарыту әдістерін баяндайды. Кейін адамдардың бақытқа жетуі үшін әуелі «бақыттың» не екенін және оған жету жолын түсіндіреді. Философ мұндай ізгі халықты бақытқа бастайтын басшының қандай болуы керектігін суреттейді. Ол – әділ, әдепті, білімді, шешен сөзді және философ.
A review of organochlorine and metal pollutants in marine mammals from Central and South America
Authors: Borrell Assumpción , Aguilar Alex
Published: October 2020

Published data on pollutants found in marine mammals from Central and South America are limited. Few species have been studied (18) and sample sizes are usually too small to allow for proper assessment of trends or impacts of pollutants on the populations being studied. The only exceptions to this are the franciscana dolphin from Argentina and the spotted dolphin from the eastern tropical Pacific: the former population studied for organochlorines and the latter for heavy metals. Information on organochlorine levels, mainly on PCBs and DDTs, suggests low levels of exposure when compared to other regions of the world. The ratio DDT/PCB is higher than in other areas, which indicates the predominance of agricultural contamination over that of industrial origin. The generally low DDE/tDDT ratio, particularly in southern America, indicates a recent usage of this pesticide in the region. Levels of mercury were moderate overall, although marine mammals from the areas where contamination by this metal is likely to be higher, such as the Amazon river, have not been studied in this regard. In contrast, mean cadmium and zinc concentrations were higher overall than those in the range typical for northern marine mammals, while copper and lead levels were comparatively low, although information on these latter metals is extremely limited. The lack of comprehensive, long-term studies makes a sound evaluation of the impact of pollutants on the marine mammals from the region unfeasible

¿De aquí o de allá? Un estudio sobre inmigración haitiana, identidad y escuela
Authors: Valdez Castro Pedro Antonio
Published: October 2020

El concepto de identidad es complejo e integra elementos tanto psicológicos como sociales.Los(as) estudiantes de origen extranjero enfrentan grandes retos en el proceso de construcción de su identidad cultural debido a su condición de sujetosmigrantes. Esta investigación mixta estudió la orientación y percepción de la identidad cultural de los(as) estudiantes de origen haitiano en dos centroseducativos del sector San Luis en el año escolar 2017- 2018. Se utilizó el modelo de Vilá Baños, et al. (2016), que aborda la construcción de la identidad y la integración del migrante desde lo subjetivo y lo objetivo, y los tipos de ajuste en el encuentro multicultural de Touriñan (2003). Se aplicó un instrumento, elaborado a partir del cuestionario Cohesión Social de Palou (2011), el ICCS de 2009 (2014) y la Encuesta Mundial de Valores (2014), en una muestra de 62 estudiantes.

Los(as) estudiantes de origen haitiano mostraron identificarse casi en su totalidad como dominicanos (as), negaron su origen haitiano y asumieron patrones culturales dominicanos. Se observó un ajuste de EliminaciónDominación en el que la cultura haitiana se subsume a la dominicana. Por otro lado, los(as) estudiantes de origen dominicano mostraron empatía hacia las personas de origen haitiano, aunque prefirieron no tener personas de origen haitiano viviendo en sus comunidades.
Estrategia para la organización y gestión de comunidades de práctica educativa (CPE) en los centros de jornada escolar extendida (JEE) en la República Dominicana
Authors: González Pons Sandra , Pichardo Geynmi , Galán Bismar
Published: October 2020

Este estudio se basó en las concepciones del aprendizaje social y situado de Wenger (2005). Para este autor, las CPE son grupos que comparten ideas e innovan para el desarrollo continuo de un área del conocimiento. En el caso de la educación dominicana, la organización y gestión de comunidades de práctica en el contexto escolar se ha mantenido inoperante y estéril debido a la falta de condiciones y de una auténtica estrategia que propicie la formación y el desarrollo continuo. Este estudio, una investigación evaluativa, partió de un diagnóstico para el diseño y validación de una estrategia, que permita la organización y gestión de CPE en directivos que cursan una Maestría en Gestión de Centros Educativos. Se encontró que las directoras en la práctica carecen del liderazgo y de un marco político y operativo para la gestión de dichas comunidades.La puesta en marcha de la estrategia demostró que es posible la organización y gestión de las CPE en las escuelas de JEE, si cuentan con las condiciones de espacio, tiempo y recursos, el acompañamiento de un directivo comprometido con la mejora y un conjunto de orientaciones y protocolos que posibiliten darle contenido y organización a la comunidad.
TÜRKİYE’DE MÜZİK BEĞENİSİ ÜZERİNE YAPILMIŞ OLAN AKADEMİK ÇALIŞMALARIN BİBLİYOGRAFİK YÖNTEMLE İNCELENMESİ
Authors: AKÇAY Şevki Özer , ERDEN Elif
Published: October 2020

Beğeni, insan hayatının başlangıcından günümüze kadar olan süreçte yaşamımızın her alanında var olan bir kavramdır. Bu alanlardan birisi de müzik beğenisidir. Müzik beğenisi basit bir olgu olmayıp, kültürel, sosyal, eğitsel, psikolojik ve kişilik özelliklerinden kaynaklanan pek çok etkeni kapsamaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de müzik beğenisi üzerine yapılmış olan akademik çalışmaların bibliyografik yöntemle incelenmesidir. Araştırma verileri, YÖK’ün Ulusal Tez Merkezi’nde kayıtlı olan, müzik beğenisi üzerine yazılmış 26 tez ve Google Akademik (Google Scholar) veri tabanından ulaşılan 16 makaleden elde edilmiştir. İncelenen tezler ve makalelerden elde edilen veriler yıl, tür, yöntem, konu, üniversite ve enstitü ölçütlerine göre analiz edilerek nicel verilere dönüştürülmüş ve betimsel istatistik yöntemlerden frekans-yüzde kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.Araştırma sonucunda, Türkiye'de müzik beğenisi üzerine yapılmış olan çalışmaların 2000’li yıllarda yaygın olduğu, büyük kısmının yüksek lisans tezi şeklinde yapıldığı, lisansüstü çalışmaların Sosyal Bilimler ve Eğitim Bilimleri enstitülerinde yoğunlaştığı, tüm çalışma türlerinde en çok tarama modelinin kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlardan hareketle, yeni çalışmaların karma yöntemlerin kullanıldığı modellerde tasarlanması; doktora/sanatta yeterlilik düzeyinde ve uluslararası yayına dönüşebilecek özelliklerde olması için daha fazla teşvik ve yönlendirme yapılması önerilmektedir.

Authors: Widodo Hendro
Published: October 2020

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pendekatan braind based learning sebagai basis pembelajaran dalam kurikulum 2013. Keberhasilan pembelajaran dalam arti tercapainya standar kompetensi, sangat bergantung pada kemampuan guru mengolah pembelajaran yang dapat menciptakan situasi yang memungkinkan peserta didik belajar. Pendekatan pembelajaran BBL sejalan dengan konseptual pendidikan holistik. Hal ini dadasari oleh pemikiran bahwa setiap peserta didik memiliki potensi yang berbeda dan itu merupakan fitrah manusia. Potensi yang dimiliki peserta didik dikembangkan lewat proses pendidikan sehingga mendistorsi makna pendiidkan bila proses pendidikan mengabaikan salah satu potensi tersebut.   Hal ini pulalah yang dikembangkan dalam kurikulum 2013, bahwa orientasi pencapaian kompetensi peserta didik di arahkan pada pencapaian kompetensi holistik yaitu dari kompetensi sikap spiritual dan sosial, kompetensi pengetahuan dan kompetensi ketermapilan/psikomotorik.

Muhammad Syahrûr; Theory of limit (teori batas)

Published: October 2020

Penulis meyakini bahwa, tidak semua klaim pembaharuan terhadap konsep sunnah berbuah baik terhadap ajaran dan amalan-amalan Islam. Bukti konkrit dari pernyataan tersebut adalah klaim pembaharuan konsep sunnah yang ditawarkan oleh Syahrûr. Pembaharuan yang diagung-agungkan pada  kenyataannya hanya mengulang kembali apa yang telah diungkapkan oleh para orientalis dan pengingkar sunnah. Tentu apa yang disebut pembaharuan tersebut telah dijawab oleh ulama Islam. Seperti klaim sunnah bukanlah wahyu dan sumber hukum Islam. Begitu juga dengan metodologi Syahrur yang bahkan bersandar pada teori-teori yang sangat bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam sendiri dan berimplikasi pada pemutusan rantai epitemologi Islam serta melahirkan kerancuan dalam penerapannya.

Our research is designed to address a gap in the specialty literature, which does not mention anything about the stonecraft center of Cupșeni – Țara Lăpușului. After brief considerations about Cupșeni - settlement, geographical boundaries, the occupations of the inhabitants, brief history - we wrote some considerations on the stonemasonry tradition in Cupșeni. We then treated the activity of Ion Filip - the last representative of Cupșeni stonemasonry. First we’ve made considerations on the masters who formed Ion Filip, then analyzed the stonecutter’s work, focusing on the range of products he made, starting with the simple products of the initial phase. The investigation part is focused on the study of the stonecutter’s complex works in the mature stage: millstones, grindstones, mills, stone tables, roadside crucifixes. The research concludes with information on the tools used by the craftsman. Our investigation also includes information on stone processing preliminary phases: excavation, block cracking, loading and transportation. We also made considerations about the stone categories used in different objects.

In this study the authors would like to extend throne notion with examples from religious life of Neolithic and Copper Age communities. Throne with its symbols is present starting with the earliest Neolithic horizons of Anatolia until center of Europe, in 7-5 millennia. We have analyzed some important discoveries related with monumental pieces from sanctuaries, as well as those discovered in community altar or domestic sanctuaries. These monumental pieces from sanctuaries reflect the place of the divinity or her representation in the sanctuary and their role in religious ceremonies. For many of the presented pieces we offer new hypothesis and opinions regarding their functionality. We also refer to some idols types that are sitting on thrones representing divinities or priestess that represent the image of the divinity.

The true conductor element of the Romanian fairytale, the young woman, proves to be, in the light of the examples under discussion, both an anthropological reality and a source of mythfolkoric imagination, generating in the real objective an unrealistic subjective aspiration designed to create significant models for traditional thinking. Objects of irresistible attraction, sometimes even from the foetal stage, so that young women often have connotated cosmic attributes, from different worlds / dimensions various from those of a hero and who also reveals the functional dimension which the anonymus fairy tale author or the performer gives it to imagination. The present study is an integral part of a series of studies dedicated to the Romanian fairytale antropology. A series of studies who tries,to outline the veracious universe of archaic thinking that produces and consumes products of the traditional imaginary. And, at psychological level, what occasion could be more appropiate than the young woman, depositary of qualities and physical characteristics above average, loved and / or assidous “hunted" by the Romanian fairytale hero?
Mărturii asupra vârcolacului în cultura tradițioanlă
Authors:   Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Vlad Daciana
Published: October 2020

The werewolf is, in the Romanian mitology, an extraordinary being, a demon who swallows the Sun and the Moon, thus causing eclipses. Multiple representations of this creature, such as regular animals (wolves and dogs) or even fantastic beings (dragons) have led to a mistery concerning the demon's appearance. The werewolf is the embodiment of evil, which disturbs the order of the world, and any deviation from a community can lead to one becoming a werewolf. So, werewolves, like ghouls, can appear from different sources: unnamed children, malformed children, kin-slayers, even an action that is contrary to a tradition can create a werewolf. A man will become a werewolf during an eclipse and most of the time, it's his soul that will ascend to the sky and devour the Sun and the Moon. If the bond between the soul and the body is broken during this transformation, the soul is lost forever.

Diarrhea, an illness of both the developed and developing world, involves the burdensome characteristics of frequent bowel movements, loose stools, and abdominal discomfort. Diarrhea is a long-standing challenge in palliative care and can have a myriad of causes, making symptomatic treatment pertinent when illness evaluation is ongoing, when there is no definitive treatment approach, or when effective treatment cannot be attained. Symptomatic therapy is a common approach in palliative care settings. Bismuth is a suitable agent for symptomatic therapy and can be effectively employed for management of chronic diarrhea. The objective of this narrative review is to examine the role of bismuth in management of diarrheal symptoms. To explore this, PubMed (including Medline) and Embase were used to search the existing literature on bismuth and diarrhea published from 1980 to 2019. It was found that bismuth has potential utility for diarrheal relief in multiple settings, including microscopic colitis, traveler’s diarrhea, gastrointestinal infection, cancer, and chemotherapy. It also has great potential for use in palliative care patients, due to its minimal side effects. Overall, the antisecretory, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties of bismuth make it a suitable therapy for symptomatic treatment of diarrhea. The limited range of adverse side effects makes it an appealing option for patients with numerous comorbidities. Healthcare providers can explore bismuth as an adjunct therapy for diarrhea management in an array of conditions, especially in the palliative care setting.

In a spoken dialog system, dialog state tracking refers to the task of correctly inferring the state of the conversation -- such as the user's goal -- given all of the dialog history up to that turn.  Dialog state tracking is crucial to the success of a dialog system, yet until recently there were no common resources, hampering progress.  The Dialog State Tracking Challenge series of 3 tasks introduced the first shared testbed and evaluation metrics for dialog state tracking, and has underpinned three key advances in dialog state tracking: the move from generative to discriminative models; the adoption of discriminative sequential techniques; and the incorporation of the speech recognition results directly into the dialog state tracker.  This paper reviews this research area, covering both the challenge tasks themselves and summarizing the work they have enabled.
Recurrent Polynomial Network for Dialogue State Tracking
Authors: Sun Kai , Xie Qizhe , Yu Kai
Published: October 2020

Dialogue state tracking (DST) is a process to estimate the distribution of the dialogue states as a dialogue progresses. Recent studies on constrained Markov Bayesian polynomial (CMBP) framework take the first step towards bridging the gap between rule-based and statistical approaches for DST. In this paper, the gap is further bridged by a novel framework -- recurrent polynomial network (RPN). RPN's unique structure enables the framework to have all the advantages of CMBP including efficiency, portability and interpretability. Additionally, RPN achieves more properties of statistical approaches than CMBP. RPN was evaluated on the data corpora of the second and the third Dialog State Tracking Challenge (DSTC-2/3). Experiments showed that RPN can significantly outperform both traditional rule-based approaches and statistical approaches with similar feature set. Compared with the state-of-the-art statistical DST approaches with a lot richer features, RPN is also competitive.

Storytelling is a universal activity, but the way in which discourse structure is used to persuasively convey ideas and emotions may depend on cultural factors.  Because first-person accounts of life experiences can have a powerful impact in how a person is perceived, the storyteller may instinctively employ specific strategies to shape the audience's perception. Hypothesizing that some of the differences in storytelling can be captured by the use of narrative levels and subjectivity, we analyzed over one thousand narratives taken from personal weblogs. First, we compared stories from three different cultures written in their native languages: English, Chinese and Farsi. Second, we examined the impact of these two discourse properties on a reader's attitude and behavior toward the narrator. We found surprising similarities and differences in how stories are structured along these two dimensions across cultures. These discourse properties have a small but significant impact on a reader's behavioral response toward the narrator.
Aspirational Identity Politics and Support for Radical Reform: The Case of Post-Maidan Ukraine
Authors: Hale Henry E. , Kulyk Volodymyr
Published: October 2020

How does ethnicity influence mass support for radical reforms? Treating ethnicity as a set of cognitively useful categories serving both ethnocentric and inclusive ends, we argue people can strive toward civic visions for their state yet interpret obstacles through “ethnic” lenses. We label this phenomenon aspirational identity politics, prominent when external aggressors exploit identity commonalities with home-state subpopulations. Consequently, ethnic cognition can facilitate radical reform support not only through ethnocentrism, but also by connecting prosocial dispositions to support for ingroup favoring reforms. Accordingly, original survey data from Ukraine in 2017 reveal prosocial values better predict support for nine radical reforms – including in-group favoring ones – than does ethnocentrism. Support is also strongest among economically better-off people, indicating backing for radical reform is generally more about aspiration than desperation.
Latitudinal patterns in the concentrations of biologically utilised
elements in the surface ocean
Authors: Pickup Daisy , Tyrrell Toby
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Understanding of controls on the spatial distributions of chemical elements in the surface ocean has improved over time. Macronutrients were understood first, followed by dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity. Utilising data collected in the Atlantic by the ongoing GEOTRACES programme, controls can now start to be investigated for other elements. Here we investigate the generality of the rule that, in surface waters, higher concentrations occur at higher latitudes. Our analyses of Atlantic GEOTRACES data show that, after salinity normalisation, all biologically utilised elements except iron follow this rule (ρ ≥ 0.45). Most elements (nitrate, phosphate, cadmium, barium, and nickel) are even more strongly correlated (ρ > 0.6) with latitude. We attribute this pattern to upwelling and/or entrainment of deep water at high latitudes. Although only Atlantic data was analysed here, we predict that this rule will be found to hold true for all oceans in which surface and deep waters exchange more readily at high latitudes. The rule does not hold in the central western Arctic Ocean, where a year-round strong halocline prevents exchange of surface and deep waters.

Abstract. Natural particles are frequently applied in drinking water treatment processes in fixed bed reactors, in fluidised bed reactors, and in sedimentation processes to clarify water and to concentrate solids. When particles settle, it has been found that in terms of hydraulics, natural particles behave differently when compared to perfectly round spheres. To estimate the terminal settling velocity of single solid particles in a liquid system, a comprehensive collection of equations is available. For perfectly round spheres, the settling velocity can be calculated quite accurately. However, for naturally polydisperse non-spherical particles, experimentally measured settling velocities of individual particles show considerable spread from the calculated average values. This work aimed to analyse and explain the different causes of this spread. To this end, terminal settling experiments were conducted in a quiescent fluid with particles varying in density, size and shape. For the settling experiments, opaque and transparent spherical polydisperse and monodisperse glass beads were selected. In this study, we also examined drinking water related particles, like calcite pellets and crushed calcite seeding material grains, both applied in drinking water softening. Polydisperse calcite pellets were sieved and separated to acquire more uniformly dispersed samples. In addition, a wide variety of grains with different densities, sizes and shapes were investigated for their terminal settling velocity and behaviour. The derived drag coefficient was compared with well-known models such as Brown–Lawler. A sensitivity analysis showed that the spread is caused to a lesser extent by variations in fluid properties, measurement errors and wall effects. Natural variations in specific particle density, path trajectory instabilities and distinctive multi-particle settling behaviour caused a slightly larger degree of spread. In contrast, greater spread is caused by variations in particle size, shape and orientation.
Dynamic Anthropogenic activitieS impacting Heat emissions (DASH v1.0): development and evaluation
Authors: Capel-Timms Isabella , Smith Stefán Thor , Sun Ting , Grimmond Sue
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Thermal emissions – or anthropogenic heat fluxes (QF) – from human
activities impact urban climates at a local and larger scale. DASH considers
both urban form and function in simulating QF through the use of an
agent-based structure that includes behavioural characteristics of urban
residents. This allows human activities to drive the calculation of QF, incorporating dynamic responses to environmental conditions. The spatial
resolution of simulations depends on data availability. DASH has simple
transport and building energy models to allow simulation of dynamic vehicle
use, occupancy and heating–cooling demand, and release of energy to the
outdoor environment through the building fabric. Building stock variations
are captured using archetypes. Evaluation of DASH in Greater London for
periods in 2015 uses a top-down inventory model (GQF) and national energy
consumption statistics. DASH reproduces the expected spatial and temporal
patterns of QF, but the annual average is smaller than published energy
data. Overall, the model generally performs well, including for domestic
appliance energy use. DASH could be coupled to an urban land surface model
and/or used offline for developing coefficients for simpler/faster models.

Background and objectives: Postpartum hemorrhage is an important cause of maternal mortality worldwide. A host of literature highlights the difficulty in predicting which women will experience Postpartum hemorrhage. The present study aims at describing the research output on factors affecting the prevention of Postpartum hemorrhage in Low- and Middle- Income Countries.Methods: A total of 24 published research articles and 2 papers from grey literature published between 2010 and 2019 were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL and Nursing and Allied Health Database (ProQuest). Data were extracted based on main study features and the findings were described narratively. Arksey and O’Malley’s framework for scoping studies was used in this review.Results: Findings from the literature from Low- and Middle- Income Countries are grouped into three themes: Knowledge and understanding about the prevention of Postpartum hemorrhage; Postpartum hemorrhage risk factors among childbearing women; and use of prophylactic uterotonic drugs for PPH prevention and related policies. The majority of studies investigate pharmacological interventions for PPH prevention, while few address the early assessment of risk factors associated with Postpartum hemorrhage for proactive prevention.Conclusions: The present study suggests that assessing risk factors associated with PPH would be a practical method for early identification of clients at high-risk for developing Postpartum hemorrhage. The present scoping review highlights the paucity of research considering Postpartum hemorrhage risk factors in low- and middle- income countries, particularly in Rwanda. Further qualitative research on the perceptions of health care workers and beneficiaries about Postpartum hemorrhage risk factors is warranted, to enable the development of a tool to assess risk factors associated to Postpartum hemorrhage among childbearing women in Low- and Middle- Income Countries.
Area structure of farms in Poland against the background of other European Union countries

The purpose of the article is to find out which group of EU countires determined on the basis of the specific features of the area structure of their farms Poland belongs to. Two aspects of this structure were taken into account: the number of farms in particular size groups of farmland and the area of farmland they occupy. Poland’s situation was also presented in the regional context, taking into consideration the variety of agricultural activity. The research was based on data obtained from Eurostat and Statistics Poland for the year 2016. The following groups of farm area were considered: farmland under 2 hectares, 2–5 hectares, 5–10 hectares, 10–20 hectares, 20–50 hectares and 50 hectares and larger. Based on the fuzzy classification method, EU countries were classified into 4 groups according to the area structure of their farms. The results of the research demonstrated that Poland belongs to a group of countries with a high level of fragmentation of farms, jointly with Croatia, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Italy. Only 4 countries have a more fragmented farm structure: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania and Hungary. As regards the proportion of the area of farmland concentrated in large farms, it is unfavourable in Poland, also when compared to new EU member states, such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria. In Poland the largest farms, with an area of at least 50 hectares, account only for about 1/3 of the total farmland, which, except for Slovenia, is the lowest percentage in the entire EU.
