Managers’ Consideration about Behavioural Factors that Influence their Decision Making in Liquidity Management
Authors: Korzeniowska Dominika 
Published: May 2015

AbstractThe paper presents selected fragment of the outcomes of qualitative research led by the author. It concerned factors influencing decision-making in liquidity management, associated with human traits (human as an acting person of such choices) both in terms of mental processes’ characteristics peculiar to the entire human species (features of human mind) as well as the specific attributes of individual decisionmakers. The aim of the study was to discover how managers perceive determinants of liquidity decision-making process, basing on their professional experience, and whether in their consideration on the subject had ever appeared the determinants related to the person of the decision-maker.
Efficiency of Using Research and Development Expenditures at Voivodship Level
Authors: Kucharski Adam 
Published: May 2015

AbstractOne of the most important criteria dividing countries on developed and developing is technological level of the economy which is a derivative of R&D. We showed in the article, that only a rather small group of voivodships was characterized by a full efficiency of converting the expenditure into effects. Low values of efficiency indices pay attention for all ineffective provinces. It won’t be possible to say about none of them, that it found near the efficiency border which accompanied by large differences between decision making units. The non-radial DEA model showed that both the internal expenditures (in converting into the thousand residents) and the personnel employed in the R+D work are not used efficiently and what’s more in the considerable degree wherein a first of said inputs research units managed by a little more effectively.
Facility Management as a Concept to Support Real Estate Management
Authors: Sitek Marcin 
Published: May 2015

AbstractThe focus of the study is on contemporary concept of Facility Management (FM) that supports processes of management, especially real estate management. The study attempted to analyse the assumptions of standardization of real estate management within the FM concept. Analysis of the situation in the real estate market in Poland in 2013 showed the necessity of implementation of effective management, which concerns not only investment projects, but, particularly, the area of management of facilities and innovations, and taking measures aimed at increasing the value of real estate. The role and opportunities offered by certain contemporary methods of real estate management (benchmarking and outsourcing) have been discussed, particularly in terms of management of auxiliary processes. The study presented situation in the local construction sector and developer enterprises in Poland, particularly in terms of taking measures concerning formation of demand and customer preferences in the real estate market. The results obtained in the study were used to analyse situation in the market of real estate in Częstochowa, Poland, stimulated directly by tendencies observed in this local market and suggest the necessity of proper management of auxiliary processes, which will substantially contribute to improvement of enterprises’ operation.
Management – Forecasting the Future Cognitive Challenges in Management Science 3
Authors: Sułkowski Łukasz 
Published: May 2015

AbstractThis paper is the third publication from the series of three articles about cognitive challenges in management science. It is the result of the further discussions and reflections concerning the cognitive problems of management after publication of the books about epistemology of management. The paper is a trial to forecast the main cognitive trends and tendencies on the basis of the diagnosis made in two papers in series “Cognitive challenges in management science”. The chosen trends in development of management sciences are: expansion of natural sciences, growing inter-disciplinarity of research, growing specialization, net-marketing in management discourse, challenge of cultural relativism, growing criticism and reflexivity. Response of management sciences to the challenges connected to: interdisciplinary nature, growing specialization, and expansion of natural history can lead to further development of our discipline, but the possibility of disintegration also should not be ruled out. Deepening specialization, lack of long-range theory, and growing significance of natural history could lead to disintegration of our discipline, whose fields would be incorporated by other domains. I think that in order to avoid this possibility it would be desirable to uphold the cohesion of management sciences through deepening the cognitive reflection and openness to inspirations originating in other areas of science. But future is difficult to predict and maybe other trends that are not too visible now will change management sciences in future.
Application of Finance Management Instruments in Business Entities for example of PGE and Tauron Companies
Authors: Trippner Paweł 
Published: May 2015

AbstractRunning a business involves the risk borne by the owners. They are most often identified with failure to achieve expected rates of return by investors. The same mechanisms apply to business entities whose one of the main objectives is to maximize the profits level. Equally important task, and according to the larger group of professional literature authors the most important is the increase of the company’s market value. Both purposes have common ground, involving the selection of indicators and instruments for the assessment of the financial condition and the value added of analyzed business entity. The objective of this paper is to compare mechanisms used to assess the financial condition of enterprises and indicate imperfections of measures based solely on bookkeeping data derived from an annual financial report. Characteristic features and the more objective nature of economic measures, in particular such as the Economic Value Added (EVA), are presented.

Battery Equalization Control Based on the Shunt Transistor Method
Authors: Gallardo-Lozano Javier , Romero-Cadaval Enrique , Milanés-Montero María Isabel , Guerrero-Martinez Miguel A. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Electric Vehicle (EV) researches are currently becoming of special importance and the EV battery system is particularly relevant in the EV design. In these applications, series connected batteries are necessary since a single battery cannot achieve the voltage requirements. Internal and external sources lead the batteries string to become unbalanced, which is an important factor to be taken into account, as premature cells degradation, safety hazards, and reduced capacity will occur for unbalanced systems. The different balancing methods are presented and compared in this paper, and finally the switch capacitor and the double-tiered switching capacitor are considered the best option. However, their speed depends on the voltage difference between the batteries in the string, and when their voltage difference is low, the equalization speed decreases significantly, leading the battery pack to be unbalanced for longer. A novel equalization method is presented, that improves the aforementioned methods performance by applying a new control to a shunt transistor method. Low cost, size, and complexity, together with higher speed and efficiency are obtained. A prototype has been built, and experimental results are presented.

Published: May 2015

Abstract
The development of signal transmitting environment for multimodal traffic control will enhance the integration of emergency and specialized transport routing tools in usual traffic control paradigms - it is one of the opportunities offered by modern intelligent traffic control systems. The improvement of effective electric power use in public transport system is an advantage of Intelligent Transport System (ITS). The research is connected with the improvement of on-line traffic control and adaptation of special traffic lighting alternatives by ITS. The assignment of the nearest appropriate transport will be done by passenger request, but unlike information system, the transport planning is done on demand. The task can be solved with the help of modern technical methods and equipment, as well as by applying control paradigms of the distributed systems. The problem is solved with the help of calculations hyper-graph and scheduling theory. The goal of the research is to develop methods, which support scheduling of the emergency transport, using high performance computing.

Reinventing rural femininities in the post-productivist Finnish countryside
Authors: Sireni Maarit 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
This paper examines how Finnish farm women interpret their own position as women on family farms. Following the poststructuralist approach in rural gender studies, the analysis focuses on the meanings which women produce regarding agrarian femininity. For this purpose, interview material on their everyday life stories are compared with the discourses on rural femininities in the Koti magazine, which is published by the most important organization representing farm women in Finland. It is concluded that the positions in which farm women present themselves are in accordance with the discourses on rural femininity produced and mediated by this magazine. Farm women present themselves, and they are expected to be, economically active agents in the post-productivist countryside
Localised gastrointestinal diffuse large B cell lymphomas; Does surgical approach still exist?
Authors: Ibrahim Abeer , Zedan Ali , Attia Alia M. A. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the commonest pathological type of gastrointestinal lymphoma and its management was changed from surgery to combined chemoimmunotherapy in the last decade; however, this strategy is questionable, especially if rituximab is not available.
Methods: Seventy-nine files were reviewed retrospectively. We divided the patients into two groups; group 1 included 37 patients who underwent surgery followed by chemotherapy and group 2 included 42 patients who received chemotherapy. The indication of surgery was mainly due to obstruction/perforation. We compared the outcomes of PFS and OS between the two groups and according to primary anatomical site. Results:
We found that the outcomes for the surgery group before chemotherapy was superior to chemotherapy alone in terms of DFS, p = 0.012 and OS p = 0.037. But in the anatomical subgroups analysis, it did not show any significant difference in primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) regarding DFS and OS, p = 0.706, p = 0.858, respectively; On the contrary, we found significant improvement in PFS and OS, p = 0.032, p = 0.025, respectively, in primary intestinal lymphoma (PIL) favouring the use of the surgical approach. Conclusion Surgery is still an important strategy in the case of DLBCL in PIL intestinal lymphoma; however, in the case of PGL, the use of chemotherapy even without rituximab achieves similar results. Our conclusions are limited by the small numbers of the study
A Short Research in Danish Cardinal and Ordinal Numerals on Indo-European Background
Authors: Garczyński Błażej 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
The article focuses on the Danish numerals 1-1000. It presents their Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Germanic, Old Danish and present forms whilst providing additional information on their development and corresponding numerals in other European languages. It focuses primarily on the vigesimal counting system, whose traces can be found in Danish, and which is the source of some unique forms unseen in other languages. Therefore, special attention is paid to the numerals of the series 50-90. Though these appear to be unique and exotic, the article shows that they are not to be perceived as an anomaly but rather a different path of development within the language Moreover, a brief explanation of the origins of the vigesimal system in Danish is provided. Also, several units of measurement showing traces of the vigesimal, duodecimal and sexagesimal systems are discussed. Finally, language reforms aimed at changing the numeral forms will be shortly portrayed.

Myten Och Dess Arvtagare. Historiska Och Skönlitterära Berättelser Om Folkhemmet
Authors: Żmuda-Trzebiatowska Magdalena 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
The paper’s aim is to indicate the mutual relations between contemporary Swedish literature and the academic and political discourse on the welfare state’s crisis. The article’s first part discusses the genesis, evolution and meaning of the term ”Swedish folkhem” as it is understood today, i.e. as a political vision underlying the Swedish welfare state which with time has become a metaphor and a myth. In its other part the presence of historical narratives on the Swedish folkhem in five autobiographically inspired novels on childhood and growing up is investigated (Jonas Gardell’s En komikers uppväxt (1992), Lena Andersson’s Var det bra så? (1999), Mikael Niemi’s Populärmusik i Vittula (2000), Torbjörn Flygt’s Underdog (2001) and Susanna Alakoski’s Svinalängorna (2006). Analysing the chosen examples, the author of the paper focuses mainly on the issue of how the narratives known from political propaganda and debate are transformed, commented and used in a literary text to construct a collective identity.

Cambrian Trace Fossil Zoophycos from the Czech Republic
Authors: Doucek Jan , Mikuláš Radek 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Lobate and helical ichnofossils attributable to Zoophycos found in Middle Cambrian shales of the Palác Hill in the Železné Hory Mountains (eastern Bohemia) represent the oldest occurrence of this ichnogenus. Such a complex Zoophycos became frequent during the Mesozoic but has been never recorded in strata older than the Ordovician. As such, they represent the oldest occurrence of helical Zoophycos. Besides Zoophycos isp. there is also a 15 cm thick sandy siltstone layer which is strongly bioturbated by Planolites isp., which seems unusual in a Lower Cambrian ichno-association.
Identification of a Buried Late Cenozoic Maar-Diatreme Structure (North Moravia, Czech Republic)
Authors: Šešulka Vojtěch , Sedláková Iva , Bábek OndŘej , PŘichystal Antonín 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
The maar-diatreme volcanic structure in the vicinity of the village of Lomnice near the town of Bruntál (North Moravia, Czech Republic) has been investigated using a set of geophysical methods including ground magnetometry, gravimetry and electrical resistivity tomography. The structure was detected by an aerial magnetic survey in the second half of the 20th century. Since its discovery only limited information about this buried structure has been available. The coherence of the magnetic anomaly of 190 nT and Bouguer anomaly of -4.7 mGal indicates a volcanic origin of the structure. The funnel-shaped maar-diatreme structure is filled with lacustrine clay and colluvium of Car-boniferous greywacke, which forms the country rock. The surface diameter of the structure is about 600 m, the depth is more than 400 m. The spatial association with other volcanic centers in the surroundings of the town of Bruntál infers the relative dating of the Lomnice maar. The phreatic eruption and maar-diatreme formation could be an indirect conse-quence of effusive activity of the nearby Velký Roudný volcano. The Lomnice structure is the first Plio-Pleistocene maar-diatreme ever described in North Moravia and Silesia.
Badanie wpływu domieszek żelaza na parametry barwy kopalin skaleniowo-kwarcowych po wypaleniu
Authors: LEWICKA EWA 
Published: May 2015

Streszczenie
Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań wybranych próbek kopaliny skaleniowo-kwarcowej z czterech złóż granitoidów w rejonie Sobótki: Pagórki Wschodnie, Pagórki Zachodnie, Strzeblów I i Stary Łom. Ich celem było ustalenie przyczyn zróżnicowania zabarwienia próbek o zbliżonym udziale Fe2O3 po wypaleniu w 1200°C. Charakterystykę mineralogiczną, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem noś-ników żelaza i innych pierwiastków barwiących, oraz skróconą analizę składu chemicznego kopalin z wymienionych złoż przeprowadzono w latach 2011–2012. Badania te nie dały jednoznacznej odpowiedzi na temat powodów różnej barwy próbek. Postulowano wówczas wykonanie pełnej analizy chemicznej na zawartość składnikow głównych oraz pierwiastków śladowych, która potwierdziłaby stawianą wówczas hipotezę o podwyższonym udziale innych niż żelazo pierwiastków barwiących w próbkach, tj. m.in.: Mn, Ce, Th, U, REE. Taka analiza, wraz z bardziej szczegółowymi obser-wacjami mikroskopowymi SEM połączonymi z pomiarami składu chemicznego w mikroobszarze (EDS) została przeprowadzona w ramach niniejszej pracy. Mimo, iż badania te wykazały obecność metali przejściowych w próbkach, ich zawartość uznano za zbyt małą, by można było wyłącznie z nią wiązać zróżnicowanie barwy. Brak prostej korelacji pomiędzy udziałem żelaza a parametrami barwy „L” i „a” badanych próbek może wskazywać na bardziej złożone przyczyny, tj. rózne pozycje strukturalne, wartościowość i koordynację kationów żelaza, przy równoczesnym oddziaływaniu jonów innych metali przejśćiowych, pierwiastków ziem rzadkich i aktynowców, wykrytych w strukturze minerałów w poszczególnych próbkach. Ich obecność może sprzyjać zjawisku absorpcji, skut-kując zmianą barwy.
