description: The question of stem cell control is at the center of our understanding of tissue functioning, both in healthy and cancerous conditions. It is well accepted that cellular fate decisions (such as divisions, dif- ferentiation, apoptosis) are orchestrated by a network of regulatory signals emitted by different cell pop- ulations in the lineage and the surrounding tissue. The exact regulatory network that governs stem cell lineages in a given tissue is usually unknown. Here we propose an algorithm to identify a set of candi- date control networks that are compatible with (a) measured means and variances of cell populations in different compartments, (b) qualitative information on cell population dynamics, such as the existence of local controls and oscillatory reaction of the system to population size perturbations, and (c) statistics of correlations between cell numbers in different compartments. Using the example of human colon crypts, where lineages are comprised of stem cells, transit amplifying cells, and differentiated cells, we start with a theoretically known set of 32 smallest control networks compatible with tissue stability. Utilizing near-equilibrium stochastic calculus of stem cells developed earlier, we apply a series of tests, where we compare the networks’ expected behavior with the observations. This allows us to exclude most of the networks, until only three, very similar, candidate networks remain, which are most compatible with the measurements. This work demonstrates how theoretical analysis of control networks combined with only static biological data can shed light onto the inner workings of stem cell lineages, in the absence of direct experimental assessment of regulatory signaling mechanisms. The resulting candidate networks are dom- inated by negative control loops and possess the following properties: (1) stem cell division decisions are negatively controlled by the stem cell population, (2) stem cell differentiation decisions are negatively controlled by the transit amplifying cell population.
Nuovi indicatori di sbilanciamento e prevedibilità nei disegni sequenziali randomizzati: confronti fra 'biased coin designs' diversi

description: Efron's (1971) Biased Coin Design is a well-known randomization technique of sequential clinical trials for comparing two treatments in the absence of prognostic factors that helps neutralize selection bias while keeping the experiment fairly balanced., Efron's idea has been extended to other types of procedures, but only their asymptotic properties as regards selection bias and imbalance are considered in the literature. In this paper we define new indicators of selection bias and imbalance of the sequential experiment, based on the probability of the "worst possible scenario", which can be computed explicitly for different designs and for any finite sample size n without resorting to simulations. Making use of these measures, we compare the main existing designs with the Adjustable Biased Coin Design (ABCD), recently introduced by two of the present authors. In general, the greater flexibility of the ABCD allows one to choose a sequential procedure that turns out, for all n, to be less predictable and more balanced than the other "biased coin" designs.

The Digital Turn in Architectural Trade Literature The Case of “The Architects’ Journal”, 1990-2010

Subjects: Architectural Media
Digital Visualisation

Mediation

description: “The Architects’ Journal” (AJ) was founded in 1896, and it is one of the oldest and most respected specialist publications for architects in the UK. A weekly magazine whose editorial stance is to ‘elucidate architecture as a process: the how as much as the what’, the AJ filled a unique niche for the architectural profession and never had direct competitors. Despite this, its circulation across the twenty years of the digital turn dropped from eighteen thousand in 1992 to six thousand copies in 2014. When Information Technology (IT) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) entered the market of architectural practices in the 1990s, the AJ became the site of a radical transformation for the mediation of architectural knowledge. This paper explores the confluence of historical and technical factors within the design of the publication, that was integral to the change in wider historical conditions around architecture and media relationships. To do so, it focuses on two key moments of the digital turn. The first is the emergence of digital drawings and renderings as a new visual medium of the journal, which caused a redefinition of format and content in the mid-1990s. The second is the full redesign of the journal to accompany the launch of the first AJ online portal in the mid-2000s and the design of new interactions between the two. The paper builds from the production-mediation-consumption paradigm outlined by design historian Grace Lees-Maffei, framing the journal as a mediator as well as a designed object in its own right. Using a combination of visual analysis, historical analysis of other relevant printed sources and oral histories of former editors who oversaw the redesign of the AJ, the paper will shed light on the new professional framework that puts media and public perception at the heart of contemporary architectural practices.
Public perceptions of the deadly 2011 outbreak of Listeria moncytogenes in cantaloupe

description: In the summer and fall of 2011, cantaloupe contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes caused the most deadly foodborne illness outbreak in the U.S. since 1925. The CDC confirmed that 146 people from 28 states were infected and 30 people died as a result of eating the affected melons. To understand public reaction to the outbreak and subsequent recall of cantaloupe, a national Internet survey was conducted with 1,924 adults in December 2011 (65.3 % completion rate). The results indicate that only 65% of Americans had heard about the recall. Those who reported having eaten cantaloupe prior to the outbreak were significantly more likely to have heard about the recall. A Logistic regression indicated that older Americans (p<.000), those with higher education levels (p<.000), those with no children living in the home (p<.001), those who are not Hispanic or African American (p<.05), and those with household Internet before joining the survey panel (p<.05) were significantly more likely to have been aware of the recall. Only 27% of those aware of the outbreak believed that anyone had died as a result of it. Reported behavior may reflect this lack of perceived severity; of those aware of the recall and who ate cantaloupe prior to the outbreak (n = 742) only 44% stopped eating cantaloupe during the recall, and 81% of those who did stop eating it said they definitely or likely will eat cantaloupe again in the future. Over half of Americans (56%) believe that nothing can be done to render a contaminated cantaloupe safe to eat. Finally, the survey permits comparisons between awareness of and reactions to the cantaloupe outbreak and other recent, large-scale outbreaks that have occurred in the US, including E. coli in spinach in 2006, Salmonella Saintpaul in peppers in 2009, and eggs contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis in 2010. The analysis provides evidence that increasingly fewer Americans are avoiding the potentially contaminated foods involved in large scale recalls.

description: In this paper the effect of agronomic factors, and that of their interactions, on wheat protein percentage has been studied. The analysis is based on the data collected on the wheat cultivation of Bologna and Modena provinces in the year 1999-2000 and considers the main agronomic variables. Interesting conclusions about interactions of climatic, soil and cultivation aspects have been drawn by employing the method of nonparametric regression known as regression trees. In particular, the importance of manuring has emerged: a right fertilizing plan, with respect both to the dosage time and to the dosage intensity, seems to damp the consequences of heavy rainfalls or bad previous cultivations.

description: This paper deals with an experiment in which wheat seeds were stressed with a material dose of As2 O3, and then treated with ultra-molecolar dilutions of the same substance, with and without potentization. We focused our analysis on seedling stem length during 7 days of treatment, and tried to give a thorough statistical description of the data. We applied simple nonparametric tests for comparing treated and control groups: it seems to be a significant stimulating effect when seeds are treated with the 45th decimal potency of As2 O3 . A similar effect was obtained in a previous experiment (Betti et al., 1997), and shows that our model allows a proper reproducibility of results.

Metabolic disorders

description: Lysosomes are membrane-bound, acidic eukaryotic cellular organelles that play important roles in the degradation of macromolecules. Mutations that cause the loss of lysosomal protein function can lead to a group of disorders categorized as the lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). Suspicion of LSD is frequently based on clinical and pathologic findings, but in some cases, the underlying genetic and biochemical defects remain unknown. Here, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on 14 suspected LSD cases to evaluate the feasibility of using WES for identifying causal mutations. By examining 2,157 candidate genes potentially associated with lysosomal function, we identified eight variants in five genes as candidate disease-causing variants in four individuals. These included both known and novel mutations. Variants were corroborated by targeted sequencing and, when possible, functional assays. In addition, we identified nonsense mutations in two individuals in genes that are not known to have lysosomal function. However, mutations in these genes could have resulted in phenotypes that were diagnosed as LSDs. This study demonstrates that WES can be used to identify causal mutations in suspected LSD cases. We also demonstrate cases where a confounding clinical phenotype may potentially reflect more than one lysosomal protein defect.

description: This paper deals with an application of the nonparametric combination methodology of dependent permutation tests (NPC) (Pesarin, 1990, 2001) to an epidemiological multivariate testing problem. The data analysed come from an observational multicentric study on adverse events related to two different categories of anti-depressive pharmacological treatments. The NPC methodology allows the resolution of complex multidimensional and multistrata testing problems also when the number of variables is greater than the number of observations, i.e. in cases where there are no degrees of freedom (see also Crowder & Hand, 1990; Diggle et al., 1996), and in presence of missing data. Under rather mild conditions the NPC methodology allows to obtain an exact, unbiased and consistent solution and asymptotically equivalent to the optimal parametric solution when the latter exists (Pesarin, 2001). An interesting feature of NPC is that it does not require to model the dependence structure underlying variables. A brief description of the NPC with extension to the case of both repeated measurements and stratified samples and the results of the testing problem are presented.

description: This article identifies two essential ways to conceive of an architectural publication today: as a form of community, and as a school. “The New York Review of Architecture” and the “AA Files” are exemplary for these two conceptions, which make a case in point for publications that seek to inform, entertain, and stimulate debate. Unlike the more earnest academic journal, which is increasingly peer-reviewed and slow, other formats such as the ones described might serve the architectural community in a different way: they address both scholars and architects through a cleverly designed print object that contains content deftly edited and incredibly rich.

description: The aim of this paper is to propose a flexible method to explore the possible relationship between the hazard rate function associated to a duration time T* and a time-dependent covariate X(t). This method is based on a local likelihood approach that does not require an explicit specification of the functional form of this relationship. In order to automatically select the bandwidth, the variable span smoother (Friedman, 1984), also called supersmoother, is adapted to the context of duration data analysis.

description: Tunisia is largely known as an emigration country; it is also known as a country of transit of the flows prevailingly directed towards the European Union; only a few, though, observe and analyse its new role - that adds up to the above-mentioned ones - as an immigration country within the dynamics of international mobility, also due to the growing educational and working opportunities that Tunisia is now offering. We could say this immigration is still at an embryonic stage, although it already shows the characteristics of a progressive sedentarisation. Within the facetted typologies of Tunisia-directed immigrants, the attention was focused on the University students coming from Central African countries, in order to pinpoint the dynamics of the (less studied than others) movements occurring along the South-to-South direction. The scantiness - if not absolute lack - of statistical data on this phenomenon led to the use of information obtained through an on-the-field survey.

description: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe how the authors gained a better understanding of the variety of library users' data needs, and how gradually some new data services were established based on current capabilities.Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses a case study of the new data services at the John Cotton Dana Library, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark campus, to demonstrate the possible ways to extend data reference services and provide data computing services. A content analysis of services records shows how each user group falls into the multiple data services levels and subcategories.Findings – Library users can be classified into many different categories, and each of these may have different needs. Research centers might have big projects involving data gathering and applications where a librarian can mainly provide consultation; while an individual faculty member or student might need the librarians as research partners, with help for their specific problems. Computing data services can involve group training and statistical analysis assistance, where researchers need emergent help. Data librarians can take various opportunities for data management education, thereby gradually raising awareness and cultivating better research habits among researchers.Originality/value – Library data computing services can make unique contributions to faculty and students' research and study. Institution, library and users' interaction determines the levels and extent of data services and is generalized from the description and analysis of typical data service examples. Classic concept of data services levels is applied to a concrete case of data services program, and sub-categories of each data services level and user types are developed based on the authors' services record.
Australian customer willingness to pay and wait for mass-customised products

description: 98% of manufacturers in Australia are small-sized firms and Australia has a high rate of income compared to the other countries. Hence, it can be hard for local manufacturers compete with large international companies. Moreover, customers are no longer happy with mass-produced products and they prefer a product that is manufactured according to their needs. Local manufacturers due to being close to their customers can adopt mass-customised manufacturing processes easier than the international companies. In my research, I assessed Australian customer readiness for purchasing mass-customised products. The outcome is potentially beneficial for Australian manufacturers who are contemplating moving into mass-customisation.
Hierarchical Bayesian models for the estimation of unemployment rates in small domains of the italian labour force survey

Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2007

description: In this paper we introduce shrinkage estimators for the estimation of the Unemployment rate in small domains of the Italian Labour Force Survey. The proposed estimators are based on Hierarchical Linear Mixed Models and on the borrowing strength on both time series and cross section. Auxiliary information from source external to the Labour Force Survey is not considered. A Hierarchical Bayesian approach is adopted, in which models are solved by means of MCMC sampling algorithms. This allows to measure variability associated to estimators accounting, in a simple way, for all e uncertainty sources. Results highlight how, simple hierarchical models allows for remarkable gain in efficiency with respect to published estimates, and that models with a time series component perform better than those based exclusively on data from the same repetition of the survey.

description: During an interview, dated 2006, between Roberto Calasso and Cesare Garboli, the concept of untimeliness emerged as the basis for making literature magazines a “profoundly creative and original” medium capable of “influencing its own time” and not going along with it. Assuming this term as the common thread of the reflection, we intend to demonstrate how the concept of untimeliness can be configured as an interpretative model capable of making architecture magazines an instrument of defence against a historical period dominated by communication mechanisms based on obsessive repetition and sterile content. In these terms we propose the need, as happened in the last century, to configure magazines as places of formation, construction and transmission of knowledge in contrast to an actuality that finds in uncritical communication the “opposite medium to knowledge”.

description: Sustainable insulation materials have demonstrated potential for enhancing building energy efficiency while maintaining thermal comfort. Traditionally, the energy efficiency of buildings and the insulating effects of these materials on the building envelope have been evaluated through energy analysis, which mainly focuses on quantifying total energy consumption. However, the application of exergy analysis offers a more comprehensive evaluation of the building envelope's energy efficiency. Therefore, this study analyzes the energy and exergy performance of the building envelope with different sustainable insulation materials on the Winter period for 24-h using MATLAB. The results indicate that sustainable insulation materials significantly improve the energy efficiency of the building envelope. This study provides a more comprehensive insight into evaluating the energy efficiency of building envelopes, not only by measuring energy use but also by assessing the effectiveness and quality of the insulation.
Computer animation of meteorological data

description: Animation of meteorological observations of the atmosphere, and the techniques for producing the animation, are presented. First, the design of the display frame is described. This includes numerous improvements over the static display frame that continues to be used for still picture production. The use of segmented, or partial, display frames is then described. The significant value of segmented display frames is pointed out. Results of both partial and full frame displays are shown. In spite of the fundamental problem of animating data that lacks continuity both in time and in space, the results show the value of such animation in displaying the temporal and spatial history of the data.

The idea here is to extend the testimony offered by the French architect, historian and theorist Jacques Lucan on his experience as editor-in-chief of several journals, including “AMC” (1977-1987) and “Matières” (1997-2020), through an interview based on specific questions. The idea is first to put into perspective the history of the architectural journal for more than forty years by trying to highlight its main phases of evolution from what we call the “belle époque“ to the recent digitisation of certain publications and the massification of social networks. We will also try to characterize more precisely the idea of a revue de tendance and its relevance for our time. The role of journals as a laboratory and a channel for theory in the making will also be discussed. Finally, we will try to identify the causes of the slowdown of the editorial world since the end of the 1990s by contrasting it with the optimism, resistance and regular creation of little and committed journals.

description: Relying on the theory of representative bureaucracy—specifically, the notion of symbolic representation—this article examines whether varying the number of female public officials overseeing a local recycling program influences citizens’ (especially women's) willingness to cooperate with the government by recycling, thus coproducing important policy outcomes. Using a survey experiment in which the first names of public officials are manipulated, the authors find a clear pattern of increasing willingness on the part of women to coproduce when female names are more represented in the agency responsible for recycling, particularly with respect to the more difficult task of composting food waste. Overall, men in the experiment were less willing to coproduce across all measures and less responsive to the gender balance of names. These findings have important implications for the theory of representative bureaucracy and for efforts to promote the coproduction of public services.

Employee loyalty

description: This study examines the joint effects of diversity composition (as manifested in faultline strength) and diversity management (as manifested in diversity climate) on loyal behavior. Using data gathered from a sample of 1,652 managerial employees in 76 work units, we assess the cross-level effects of unit-level relationship- and task-related faultline strength and diversity climate on individual-level loyal behavior of managerial employees. We find a negative relationship between gender faultline strength and loyal behavior, and a positive relationship between diversity climate and loyal behavior. In addition, we find that work unit diversity climate moderates the relationships between the strength of gender and function faultlines and loyal behavior; specifically, a supportive diversity climate reduces the negative consequences associated with relationship-related faultlines and increases the positive consequences associated with task-related faultlines. The results highlight the value of simultaneously considering faultlines and diversity climate in understanding and managing workforce diversity.
Modelling of batteries in electric vehicles

description: Electric vehicles can be considered an ideal solution for transportation as they are pollutant free and independent of petroleum. Of all cell chemistries, Lithium-ion batteries are the best candidate for energy storage systems in EVs due to their high specific energy, high power and high discharge capacity. Despite the rapid growth of Li-ion applications Li-ion batteries suffer from poor performance in different conditions, highly temperature dependent and temperature affects several aspects of the batteries: charge acceptance, power and energy capability and life. There is thus an urgent need to explore Li-ion battery and battery pack performance to understand their performance.

description: Museums have become especially prominent sites of Jewish experience—not only in Poland but elsewhere, including cities with large Jewish populations—as permanent and very publicly visible institutions. Their presence looms large despite the fact that many, if not most, people will visit a given museum only once, spending an hour or two there. Given its scope and salience, the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is poised to become the keystone in the arch of Polish Jewish experience.

description: Ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre de la mitigation des accidents nucléaires graves dans les réacteurs nucléaires à neutrons rapides refroidis au sodium (RNR-Na). Afin de limiter les conséquences dues à la création de corium (un mélange radioactif de combustible nucléaire fondu et de matériaux de la structure du réacteur) lors de la fusion du cœur, deux dispositifs peuvent être implémentés au sein des nouveaux RNR-Na. Ces dispositifs sont des "tubes de déchargement", conçus pour transférer le corium vers la partie inférieure de la cuve, et un "récupérateur de corium", destiné à recevoir ce corium afin d'éviter une recriticité et pour traiter son refroidissement sur le long terme. Cependant, le corium atteint le récupérateur sous forme de jet chaud (~3000k) ce qui peut induire un risque d'ablation locale et de percement du récupérateur. Il est nécessaire de prendre ce risque en compte pour pouvoir assurer l'intégrité du récupérateur de corium pendant cette phase de relocalisation, pour éviter tout risque de perforation. Dans ce contexte, la présente étude se concentre sur l'ablation thermique du récupérateur par le biais de l'étude de l'impact d'un jet chaud sur une surface solide rugueuse.

Parmi les phénomènes souvent ignorés par les études portant sur l'ablation d'une paroi solide par un jet liquide nous avons choisi d'investiguer l'effet de la rugosité sur l'ablation. Ainsi, ce travail présente les travaux expérimentaux menés pour étudier l'ablation d'un bloc de glace par un jet d'eau sur une surface rugueuse, dans des conditions déterminées pour être représentatives d'un cas réacteur. Il a été observé que la rugosité de la surface exerce une influence notable, augmentant considérablement la vitesse d'ablation du solide.
"Energetische Flurbereinigung": Regenerative Energie für eine nachhaltige regionale Energieversorgung und gesteigerte kommunale Wertschöpfung im Kontext eines Flurbereinigungsverfahrens

description: Die Gewährleistung einer sicheren und zukunftsfähigen Energieversorgung in Deutschland ist ein zentrales Ziel der Bundesregierung. In Folge dessen wird in vielen Kommunen die Produktion erneuerbarer Energien verstärkt ausgebaut. In einem Forschungsvorhaben wurde vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht, inwiefern Flurbereinigungsverfahren einen Beitrag zur gesellschaftlich akzeptierten Energiebereitstellung leisten können. Im Rahmen einer energetischen Flurbereinigung gilt es zunächst vorab zu klären, ob und inwieweit regionale Energieautarkie für die Strom- und/oder Wärmeversorgung angestrebt wird. Hierfür ist die gegenwärtige und zukünftige regionale Energienachfrage zu ermitteln und mit den technischen (wirtschaftlichen) Potenzialen der Produktion regenerativer Energien (das heißt, nicht allein der Bioenergie) abzustimmen. Dabei ist die weitere Abstimmung mit anderen regionalen Zielsetzungen, zum Beispiel von Naturschutzzielen, als auch mit verschiedenen Interessengruppen bezüglich Akzeptanz sowie deren Abnahme- und Produktionsbereitschaft von erneuerbaren Energien unentbehrlich. Der energetische Gedanke muss möglichst früh in der Vorbereitungsphase der Flurberei­nigung implementiert werden. Gründe hierfür sind neben der Erörterung günstiger Energiegestehungskosten sowie potenzieller Standorte der Energieproduktion und ein darauf abgestimmtes Flächen-, Wege- als auch (Energie-)Einspeisungsnetz auch die Klärung von Eigentumsverhältnissen, insbesondere bei gemeinschaftlichem Anlagenbau. Die Erweiterung einer Flurbereinigung um die Betrachtung der energetischen Nutzung orientiert sich somit sowohl an privaten als auch an staatlichen Interessen. Hierbei ist das eigentliche Flurbereinigungsverfahren nicht nur mit den Aspekten energetischer Landnutzung zu erweitern, sondern auch an die Orts- und Regionalplanung zu koppeln. Diese entscheidet über den zukünftigen Energiebedarf vor Ort und stellt weitere Energiegewinnungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung. In der Summe kann der volkswirtschaftliche Nutzen einer auch energetisch motivierten Flurbereinigung die höheren Kosten im Vergleich zu einer Flurbereinigung ohne Berücksichtigung energetischer Kalküle überkompensieren.

description: In this paper, we proposed two algorithms (Reverse and Block) to conduct online monitoring against a safety LTL specification via fully homomorphic encryption. We implemented these two algorithms in C++20 and experimentally answered two research questions (RQ1 and RQ2) we posed. This artifact includes a Docker image including our C++20 programs and some scripts for the experiments to replicate our experimental results shown in the paper. It measures execution runtimes to generate monitored ciphertexts, execute our proposed algorithms using the inputs, and decrypt the result. It also has a functionality named plaintext mode, and one can check if the decrypted result is the same as the one executed in plaintext. We note that the runtimes we presented in the paper were obtained on a workstation, and they will differ from the ones on a laptop. In this artifact, we also show the runtimes obtained on our laptop for reference. System requirements to execute this artifact are as follows: CPU: 2 cores and 4 threads or more. It must support AVX2 and AES-NI, i.e., it must be Intel Core i 5000 series or newer, or AMD Ryzen 1000 series or newer. RAM: 4GiB or more Disk: 10GiB or more of free space Misc: Docker must be installed. sha256sum: a0a080f3e945f1ffae33be6295febaf8b4f235504321521eab3dcea3e740edc3

Erzeugung und Verteilung der Produkte des Agrarsektors und der Lebensmittelindustrie vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Verbindungen mit der Volkswirtschaft (vergleichende Analyse des Agrar- und Lebensmittelsektors in Polen und Deutschland)

description: Das Hauptanliegen dieses Beitrages ist der Vergleich der Materialversorgung der Landwirtschaft und der Lebensmittelindustrie sowie der Erzeugung und Angebotsverteilung des Agrar- und Lebensmittelsektors in Polen und in Deutschland. Aus dieser vergleichenden Analyse geht hervor, dass in Polen die Veränderungen in der Struktur des Agrobusiness in die richtige Richtung gehen, die Bedeutung der Landwirtschaft sinkt; es steigt hingegen die Bedeutung der Lebensmittelindustrie und  anderen Industrien, die Produktionsmittel und Dienstleistungen erzeugen. Die Landwirtschaft ist in Deutschland der Hauptlieferant von Produktionsmitteln für die Lebensmittelindustrie, in Polen hat dagegen dieser Prozess erst begonnen. Die Agrar- und Lebensmittelindustrie in Deutschland ist bereit und in Polen wird sie vor allem Abnehmer von Agrarrohstoffen aus der Landwirtschaft und Hauptlieferant von fertigen Lebensmitteln für die Bevölkerung (Endnachfrage) sein. Dies bestätigt auch die  Analyse der Erzeugung und die Angebotsverteilung an Produkten der Landwirtschaft und der Lebensmittelindustrie. Das Angebot an landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugnissen wird vor allem für Vorleistungen bestimmt. In der Lebensmittelindustrie stellt die Endnachfrage den größten Teil des Angebots dar, die größtenteils den Verbrauch in den Familienhaushalten umfasst. Aus der Analyse der Erzeugung und Verteilung von Agrobusiness-Erzeugnissen in Deutschland geht des Weiteren hervor, dass in Polen die  Rolle von Ein- und Ausfuhr in der Entwicklung der gesamten Nahrungswirtschaft steigen soll. Unbestritten ist die Gleichwertigkeit aller Bereiche der Nahrungswirtschaft, doch die führende und integrierende Rolle sollte die Agrar- und Lebensmittelindustrie übernehmen. Die Hauptbedingung um Veränderungen in Polen in diesem Zeitraum durchzuführen, ist vor allem das Wirtschaftswachstum sowie die wirksame Nutzung der EU-Hilfsmittel für den Agrar- und Lebensmittelsektor.
 Schlüsselbegriffe: Landwirtschaft, Lebensmittelindustrie, Nahrungswirtschaft, Input-Output-Tabellen, Materialversorgung, Erzeugung und Verteilung der landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugnisse und der Erzeugnisse der Lebensmittelindustrie.
