description: Recently, we developed a strategy to analyse the B -> pi pi,pi K data. We found that the B -> pi pi measurements can be accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through large non-factorizable effects. On the other hand, our analysis of the ratios R_c and R_n of the CP-averaged branching ratios of the charged and neutral B -> pi K modes, respectively, suggested new physics (NP) in the electroweak penguin sector, which may have a powerful interplay with rare decays. In this paper, we confront our strategy with recent experimental developments, addressing also the direct CP violation in B_d -> pi^-+ K^+-, which is now an established effect, the relation to its counterpart in B^+- -> pi^0 K^+-, and the first results for the direct CP asymmetry of B_d -> pi^0 pi^0 that turn out to be in agreement with our prediction. We obtain hadronic B -> pi pi,pi K parameters which are almost unchanged and arrive at an allowed region for the unitarity triangle in perfect accordance with the SM. The ``B -> pi K puzzle'' persists, and can still be explained through NP, as in our previous analysis. In fact, the recently observed shifts in the experimental values of R_c and R_n have been predicted in our framework on the basis of constraints from rare decays. Conversely, we obtain a moderate deviation of the ratio R of the CP-averaged B_d -> pi^-+ K^+- and B^+- -> pi^+- K rates from the current experimental value. However, using the emerging signals for B^+- -> K^+- K modes, this effect can be attributed to certain hadronic effects, which have a minor impact on R_c and do not at all affect R_n. Our results for rare decays remain unchanged.

description: We study mirror symmetry of supermanifolds constructed as fermionic extensions of compact toric varieties. We mainly discuss the case where the linear sigma A-model contains as many fermionic fields as there are U(1) factors in the gauge group. In the mirror super-Landau-Ginzburg B-model, focus is on the bosonic structure obtained after integrating out all the fermions. Our key observation is that there is a relation between the super-Calabi-Yau conditions of the A-model and quasi-homogeneity of the B-model, and that the degree of the associated superpotential in the B-model is given in terms of the determinant of the fermion charge matrix of the A-model.

description: Richard E. Smalley Nobel-díjas tudós szerint az emberiség legnagyobb kihívása, az energiaellátás. A fosszilis energiakészletek kifogyóban vannak, ezért új megoldási lehetőségeket kell feltérképezni. A következőkben egy választott gazdaság villamos és hőenergiájához szükséges – vad illetve hibrid – napraforgó alapú biomassza által előállítható energiával elérhető versenyelőny vizsgálatát tartalmazza a fosszilis alapúakkal való energiaellátással szemben. Az érzékenységvizsgálatok eredményeképpen kijelenthető, hogy az adott gazdaság feltételei mellett a napraforgóból nyerhető biomassza versenyképes a fosszilis energiahordozóval szemben. A napraforgótípus kiválasztásánál azonban a jövedelemtermelő képesség mellett tekintettel kell lenni a fenntarthatóságra illetve a termőföldek szűkösségére. ---------------------------------------------------- According to Nobel prize winner scientist Richard E. Smalley, the biggest challenge of mankind is power supply. Fossil fuels are finite, so we have to find a new solution. In the next case study the competitive advantage is measured between the biofuels -which based on oil and briquette from sunflower- and fossil energy according to the electric and heating energy using in a chose household. The sensitivity analysis shows that, the biomass of sunflower has earing capacity, so the implementing is certified. If we have to choose between the 2 types of sunflower, we need to care about the sustainable agriculture and the scantiness of infield.

description: We consider two $d \geq 2$ conformal field theories (CFTs) glued together along a codimension one conformal interface. The conformal anomaly of such a system contains both bulk and interface contributions. In a curved-space setup, we compute the heat kernel coefficients and interface central charges in free theories. The results are consistent with the known boundary CFT data via the folding trick. In $d=4$, two interface invariants generally allowed as anomalies turn out to have vanishing interface charges. These missing invariants are constructed from components with odd parity with respect to flipping the orientation of the defect. We conjecture that all invariants constructed from components with odd parity may have vanishing coefficient for symmetric interfaces, even in the case of interacting interface CFT.

A comparative study of correlations between arrival directions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and positions of their potential astrophysical sources

description: We consider various classes of persistent extragalactic astrophysical sources which have been suggested in literature as possible emitters of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR). We compare the strength of the claimed correlations by a uniform procedure for all classes of sources by making use of the AGASA, Yakutsk and HiRes stereo data. BL Lac type objects correlate with the cosmic rays detected by all three independent experiments and are more probably, compared to other astrophysical sources, related to the UHECR origin. With the account of the Galactic magnetic field (not possible for the HiRes data at the moment), apart of BL Lac type objects, unidentified gamma-ray sources may be correlated with AGASA and Yakutsk cosmic rays.

The Topological B-Model on Fattened Complex Manifolds and Subsectors of N=4 Self-Dual Yang-Mills Theory

description: In this paper, we propose so-called fattened complex manifolds as target spaces for the topological B-model. We naturally obtain these manifolds by restricting the structure sheaf of the N=4 supertwistor space, a process, which can be understood as a fermionic dimensional reduction. Using the twistorial description of these fattened complex manifolds, we construct Penrose-Ward transforms between solutions to the holomorphic Chern-Simons equations on these spaces and bosonic subsectors of solutions to the N=4 self-dual Yang-Mills equations on C^4 or R^4. Furthermore, we comment on Yau's theorem for these spaces.

description: We present Arepo-MCRT, a novel Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT) radiation-hydrodynamics (RHD) solver for the unstructured moving-mesh code Arepo. Our method is designed for general multiple scattering problems in both optically thin and thick conditions. We incorporate numerous efficiency improvements and noise reduction schemes to help overcome efficiency barriers that typically inhibit convergence. These include continuous absorption and energy deposition, photon weighting and luminosity boosting, local packet merging and splitting, path-based statistical estimators, conservative (face-centered) momentum coupling, adaptive convergence between time steps, implicit Monte Carlo algorithms for thermal emission, and discrete-diffusion Monte Carlo techniques for unresolved scattering, including a novel advection scheme. We primarily focus on the unique aspects of our implementation and discussions of the advantages and drawbacks of our methods in various astrophysical contexts. Finally, we consider several test applications including the levitation of an optically thick layer of gas by trapped infrared radiation. We find that the initial acceleration phase and revitalized second wind are connected via self-regulation of the RHD coupling, such that the RHD method accuracy and simulation resolution each leave important imprints on the long-term behavior of the gas.

description: In the presence of background Neveu-Schwarz flux, the description of the Ramond-Ramond fields of type IIB string theory using twisted K-theory is not compatible with S-duality. We argue that other possible variants of twisted K-theory would still not resolve this issue. We propose instead a possible path to a solution using elliptic cohomology. We also discuss T-duality relation of this to a previous proposal for IIA theory, and higher-dimensional limits. In the process, we obtain some other results which may be interesting on their own. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Witten that the 11-dimensional spin cobordism group vanishes on K(Z,6), which eliminates a potential new theta-angle in type IIB string theory.

As well we would like to emphasize the changes in the economic position of this organization in the bank sector under the effect of the economic crisis. We analyzed data of financial accounts refer to 5 years. We used the CAMELS method to analyze the business of the organization. It’s a complex qualification method in the financial sector based on six factors. The effectiveness of this method is shown by the considered factors, like the size, the services, the business experiences and the venture profile of the organizations. We used cluster analysis to examine the loan outstanding of the bank, to recover the relationship between the amount of the loss of value and the location of the branch office. We try to recover if are there any dependency between the amount and quality of loan outstanding of the branch and the environment where the branch is operating.

description: Relations that occur between features located in space–like the fact that a street is surrounded by very high buildings, that an airport is close to a city- as well as spatial properties of features–like the height and width of a door- play an important role for many urban applications. Digital models of cities can assist in the evaluation of these relations and properties either through visualisation or through computation, mainly based on geometrical information. Hence, considering the objective of explaining to potential users of these city models what useful information they can derive from these data and how, a possible way to address this objective lies in the usage of a pivot model composed of relevant spatial properties and relations, connected to information meaningful to the user and connected to the possible computation of them on available data. This paper firstly sets the ground for a typology of such relevant relations and properties that are shared by different applications and that can be derived/approximated from existing data. It then proposes a model to describe these properties and relations and connect them to their possible computation based on data (2D or 3D). An important aspect of this model is to distinguish between a conceptual layer where relations occur between “real world” features and an implementation layer where they are calculated based on database features and geometries.

description: Collisions and safety are important concepts when dealing with urban designs like shared spaces. As pedestrians (especially the elderly and disabled people) are more vulnerable to accidents, realising an intelligent mobility aid to avoid collisions is a direction of research that could improve safety using a wearable device. Also, with the improvements in technologies for visualisation and their capabilities to render 3D virtual content, AR devices could be used to realise virtual infrastructure and virtual traffic systems. Such devices (e.g., Hololens) scan the environment using stereo and ToF (Time-of-Flight) sensors, which in principle can be used to detect surrounding objects, including dynamic agents such as pedestrians. This can be used as basis to predict collisions. To envision an AR device as a safety aid and demonstrate its 3D object detection capability (in particular: pedestrian detection), we propose an improvement to the 3D object detection framework Frustum Pointnet with human pose and apply it on the data from an AR device. Using the data from such a device in an indoor setting, we conducted a comparative study to investigate how high level 2D human pose features in our approach could help to improve the detection performance of orientated 3D pedestrian instances over Frustum Pointnet.

В статье отдельно рассматривается внешнеполитическая обстановка накануне русско-французского сближения — в период Итальянского и Швейцарского походов А. В. Суворова 1799 г. Дается анализ внешнеполитической концепции Ф. В. Ростопчина — идеолога русско-французского союза и «возвращения» России Константинополя. Подробно рассматривается текст «Записки о политических отношениях России в последние месяцы павловского царствования», в котором были изложены основные принципы нового внешнеполитического курса России. В заключение статьи рассматриваются причины, по которым амбициозный внешнеполитический план Россией так и не был реализован. Отмечается роль, которую «английская партия» сыграла в отставке и ссылке Ф. В. Ростопчина, убийстве Павла I в марте 1801 г. и смене курса внешней политики Российской империи с воцарением императора Александра I.

description: Directed and elliptic flow of inclusive photons near mid-rapidity in $158 $A GeV Pb+Pb collisions has been studied. The data have been obtained with the photon spectrometer LEDA of the WA98 experiment at the CERN SPS. The flow strength has been measured for various centralities as a function of $p_T$ and rapidity over $0.18 < p_T < 1.5 \mathrm{GeV}/c$ and $2.3 < y < 2.9$. The angular anisotropy has been studied relative to an event plane obtained in the target fragmentation region that shows the elliptic flow to be in-plane. The elliptic flow has also been studied using two-particle correlations and shown to give similar results. A small directed flow component is observed. Both the directed and elliptic flow strengths increase with $p_T$. The photon flow results are used to estimate the corresponding neutral pion flow.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Memory effects in the exact Kundt wave spacetimes are shown to arise in the behaviour of geodesics in such spacetimes. The types of Kundt spacetimes we consider here are direct products of the form $H^2\times M(1,1)$ and $S^2\times M(1,1)$. Both geometries have constant scalar curvature. We consider a scenario in which initial velocities of the transverse geodesic coordinates are set to zero (before the arrival of the pulse) in a spacetime with non-vanishing background curvature. We look for changes in the separation between pairs of geodesics caused by the pulse. Any relative change observed in the position and velocity profiles of geodesics, after the burst, can be solely attributed to the wave (hence, a memory effect). For constant negative curvature, we find there is permanent change in the separation of geodesics after the pulse has departed. Thus, there is displacement memory, though no velocity memory is found. In the case of constant positive scalar curvature (Plebański-Hacyan spacetimes), we find both displacement and velocity memory along one direction. In the other direction, a new kind of memory (which we term as frequency memory effect) is observed where the separation between the geodesics shows periodic oscillations once the pulse has left. We also carry out similar analyses for spacetimes with a non-constant scalar curvature, which may be positive or negative. The results here seem to qualitatively agree with those for constant scalar curvature, thereby suggesting a link between the nature of memory and curvature.

The measurements were based on the stability of the Compton edge of laser photons scattered on the 6 GeV monochromatic electron beam. The results enable to obtain a conservative constraint on the anisotropy in the light speed variations Δc(θ)/c < 3 10^{-12}, i.e. with higher precision than from previous experiments.

description: The goal of this paper is 3D shape completion: given an incomplete instance of a known category, hallucinate a complete version of it that is geometrically plausible. We develop an adversarial framework that makes it possible to learn shape completion in a self-supervised fashion, only from incomplete examples. This is enabled by a discriminator network that rejects incomplete shapes, via a loss function that separately assesses local sub-regions of the generated example and accepts only regions with sufficiently high point count. This inductive bias against empty regions forces the generator to output complete shapes. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on synthetic data from ShapeNet and ModelNet, and on a real mobile mapping dataset with nearly 9'000 incomplete cars. Moreover, we apply it to the KITTI autonomous driving dataset without retraining, to highlight its ability to generalise to different data characteristics.

description: The aim of paper was to show the challenges which arise in the EU market for Polish exporters of agricultural and food products. Results of survey executed among 30 exporters from Warmińsko-Mazurskie region are presented. The EU market is very important for Polish exporters which is confirmed by a very high level of Polish exports to the EU member states. The main challenge for exporters from Warmińsko-Mazurskie region was in 2009 the market competition (60.0% answers) and in 2004 the adjustment to high union standards (57.7% answers). In both researched periods more often benefits following the integration were identified: in 2009 it was a simplification of commercial procedure (63.3% answers), in 2004 an increase of sales (61.5% answers). From the prospective acceptance of common European currency the exporters mostly expect price stabilization (93.3% answers) and decreases of transaction costs (66.6% answers). Difficulties related with payments for supplied commodity are the most important barrier for commercial development in foreign markets (76.6% answers). / Synopsis. Celem głównym artykułu była próba przedstawienia wyzwań rynku unijnego wobec polskich eksporterów artykułów rolno-spożywczych. Wykorzystano wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w 2009 r. i w 2004 r. wśród 30 przedsiębiorstw woj. warmińsko-mazurskiego. Rynek unijny jest bardzo istotnym dla polskich eksporterów, o czy może świadczyć fakt bardzo dużego poziomu polskiego eksportu na rynki krajów unijnych. W 2009 r. największym wyzwaniem (60,0% odpowiedzi) dla eksporterów z woj. warmińsko-mazurskiego była konkurencja, natomiast w 2004 r. dostosowania do wysokich standardów unijnych (57,7% odpowiedzi). W obu okresach badawczych częściej były identyfikowane jednak korzyści wynikające z procesu integracji: w 2009 r. było to uproszczenie procedur w handlu (63,3% odpowiedzi), w 2004 r. wzrost sprzedaży (61,5% odpowiedzi). W związku z perspektywą przyjęcia wspólnej waluty eksporterzy najczęściej oczekują stabilizacji cenowej (93,3% odpowiedzi) oraz zmniejszenia kosztów transakcyjnych (66,6% odpowiedzi). Najważniejszą barierą w rozwoju handlu na rynkach zagranicznych są trudności związane z płatnościami za dostarczony towar (76,6% odpowiedzi).

description: Antibodies are widely used reagents to test for expression of proteins and other antigens. However, they might not always reliably produce results when they do not specifically bind to the target proteins that their providers designed them for, leading to unreliable research results. While many proposals have been developed to deal with the problem of antibody specificity, it is still challenging to cover the millions of antibodies that are available to researchers. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of automatically generating alerts to users of problematic antibodies by extracting statements about antibody specificity reported in the literature. The extracted alerts can be used to construct an "Antibody Watch" knowledge base containing supporting statements of problematic antibodies. We developed a deep neural network system and tested its performance with a corpus of more than two thousand articles that reported uses of antibodies. We divided the problem into two tasks. Given an input article, the first task is to identify snippets about antibody specificity and classify if the snippets report that any antibody exhibits non-specificity, and thus is problematic. The second task is to link each of these snippets to one or more antibodies mentioned in the snippet. The experimental evaluation shows that our system can accurately perform both classification and linking tasks with weighted F-scores over 0.925 and 0.923, respectively, and 0.914 overall when combined to complete the joint task. We leveraged Research Resource Identifiers (RRID) to precisely identify antibodies linked to the extracted specificity snippets. The result shows that it is feasible to construct a reliable knowledge base about problematic antibodies by text mining.

description: Legal requirements regarding registration of plant protection products have undergone numerous changes in years 2001-2009. The main reason of the changes was the accession to the European Union. The most important from the point of view of environmental protection was the rule introduced in 2003, that registration should be limited to plant protection products only containing active substances previously assessed and approved as safe at the Community level. Significant from the point of view of environmental protection was also an increase of demands regarding the registration studies. In the analyzed period an increase of requirements regarding qualifications of the spraying device operator and the inspection of spraying equipment also took place. / Synopsis. W latach 2000-2009 wymagania prawne dotyczące rejestracji środków ochrony roślin ulegały licznym zmianom. Zmiany te były w dużej mierze powiązane z dostosowywaniem przepisów prawa polskiego do wymogów Unii Europejskiej. Za zmianę najistotniejszą z punktu widzenia bezpieczeństwa środowiska należy uznać wprowadzone w 2003 wymaganie, że do stosowania w ochronie roślin mogą być dopuszczone tylko te substancje aktywne, które zostały na szczeblu Wspólnoty ocenione i uznane za bezpieczne. Poza tym istotny dla bezpieczeństwa środowiska był wzrost wymagań dotyczących przedrejestracyjnych badań badań środka. W analizowanym okresie obserwowano również wzrost wymagań dotyczących kwalifikacji operatora wykonującego zabiegi ochrony roślin i nadzoru nad sprawnością techniczną stosowanego sprzętu.

description: We present a theoretical study of the directionality effects in spontaneous emission and resonance fluorescence of a quantum two-level dipole emitter near an ultrathin closely packed periodically aligned single-wall carbon nanotube film. Such films present an example of highly anisotropic flexible metasurfaces that are now available experimentally. The nanotube alignment is shown to provide an extra measure for quantum control of dipolar spontaneous emission and resonance fluorescence in such systems, in addition to film thickness and composition parameters such as tube diameter, chirality and translational period. The processes studied are shown to be highly anisotropic, being enhanced by orders of magnitude in the direction perpendicular to the alignment and metasurface plane, contrasting with the commonly believed viewpoint of their uncontrollably random directionality.

Spectroscopic study of blue compact galaxies IV. Star formation rates and gas depletion timescales

description: This is the fourth paper in a series studying star formation rates, stellar components, metallicities, and star formation histories of a blue compact galaxy (BCG) sample. Using Ha, [OII]3727, IR, radio (1.4GHz) luminosities and neutral hydrogen gas masses, we estimated star formation rates(SFR) and gas depletion timescales of 72 star-forming BCGs. The SFRs of the BCGs in our sample span nearly four orders of magnitude, from approximately 10^-2 to 10^2M_sun/yr, with a median SFR of about 3M_sun/yr. The typical gas depletion timescale of BCGs is about one billion years. We found that subtracting underlying stellar absorption is very important to calculate both dust extinction and SFR of galaxies. Otherwise, the intrinsic extinction will be overestimated, the SFRs derived from [OII] and Ha will be underestimated (if the underlying stellar absorption and the internal extinction were not corrected from the observed luminosity) or overestimated (if an overestimated internal extinction were used for extinction correction). After both the underlying stellar absorption and the dust extinction were corrected, a remarkably good correlation emerges among Ha, [OII], IR and radio SFR indicators. Finally, we find a good correlation between the measured SFR and the absolute blue magnitude, metallicity, interstellar extinction of BCGs. Our results indicate that faint, low-mass BCGs have lower star formation rates.

description: Статья посвящена проблеме, связанной с восприятием и трактовкой понятия «античности» священником Павлом Флоренским. Анализируются его взгляды на соотношение «античности», дохристианского язычества и христианства. Делается главный вывод о том, что под «античностью» Флоренский понимал, прежде всего, такую установку в мировоззрении, когда человек ищет твердую объективную «точку опоры» в Бытии и, ощущая невозможность достигнуть этого собственными силами, ожидает спасения Свыше. С этой точки зрения, христианство для Флоренского было полным осуществлением «античности».

description: The article presents the agrarian structure of Polish agriculture and the influence of this structure on the activity of farms as deliverers of raw materials for food industry. It has been shown that the area changes in private farms in Poland have admittedly the right direction but the dynamics of those changes is to slow. In 1998-2008 the number of private farms having agricultural land bigger than 1 hectare decreased by about 16 percent. The agrarian structure is dominated by small farms. In 2007 the part of private farms with area between 1 and 5 hectare amounted to 57.4 percent of all private farms with area of more than 1 hectare. However, farms with area of more than 15 hectare constituted in 2007 only 11 percent of the analyzed group of farms. An attention has also been paid to the great variety of economic activity of farms belonging to different area groups. Along with a growth of area a tendency increased in farms to the vertical and horizontal concentration in delivery chain. 43.7 percent of farms with area bigger than 15 hectare were members of producer’s groups in 2007. The same index for the area group between 1 and 5 hectare amounted to 1.3 percent. Therefore the existing agrarian structure of Polish agriculture hinders an improvement of organizational level in the food delivery chain. / Synopsis. Artykuł poświęcony jest prezentacji struktury agrarnej polskiego rolnictwa i jej wpływu na aktywność gospodarstw jako dostawców surowców dla przedsiębiorstw przemysłu spożywczego. W artykule wykazano, iż trwające od dwudziestu lat przemiany obszarowe gospodarstw indywidualnych w Polsce mają właściwy kierunek, jednak tempo tych zmian jest niezadowalające. W latach 1988- 2008 liczba gospodarstw indywidualnych o powierzchni powyżej 1 ha użytków rolnych zmniejszyło się o 16%. W strukturze agrarnej nadal dominują gospodarstwa małe. W 2007 udział gospodarstw indywidualnych z grupy obszarowej 1-5 ha wynosił 57,4% ogółu gospodarstw indywidualnych o areale powyżej 1 ha użytków rolnych. Natomiast gospodarstwa o powierzchni powyżej 15 ha stanowiły w 2007 roku tylko 11% analizowanej grupy gospodarstw. Zwrócono jednocześnie uwagę na duże zróżnicowanie aktywności ekonomicznej gospodarstw między poszczególnymi grupami obszarowymi. Wraz ze wzrostem areału zwiększała się skłonność gospodarstw do koncentracji pionowej i poziomej w łańcuchach dostaw. W 2005 roku 43,7% gospodarstw o areale powyżej 15 ha było członkami grup producenckich. Natomiast dla gospodarstw z grupy obszarowej 1-5 ha wielkość ta wynosiła 1,3%. Istniejąca struktura agrarna polskiego rolnictwa utrudnia więc poprawę poziomu organizacji w łańcuchu dostaw żywności.

description: With the availability of large amounts of satellite image time series (SITS), the identification of different materials of the Earth's surface is possible with a high temporal resolution. One of the basic tasks is the pixel-wise classification of land cover, i.e.The task of identifying the physical material of the Earth's surface in an image. Fully convolutional neural networks (FCN) are successfully used for this task. In this paper, we investigate different FCN variants, using different methods for the computation of spatial, spectral, and temporal features. We investigate the impact of 3D convolutions in the spatial-Temporal as well as in the spatial-spectral dimensions in comparison to 2D convolutions in the spatial dimensions only. Additionally, we introduce a new method to generate multitemporal input patches by using time intervals instead of fixed acquisition dates. We then choose the image that is closest in time to the middle of the corresponding time interval, which makes our approach more flexible with respect to the requirements for the acquisition of new data. Using these multi-Temporal input patches, generated from Sentinel-2 images, we improve the classification of land cover by 4% in the mean F1-score and 1.3% in the overall accuracy compared to a classification using mono-Temporal input patches. Furthermore, the usage of 3D convolutions instead of 2D convolutions improves the classification performance by a small amount of 0.4% in the mean F1-score and 1.2% in the overall accuracy.

description: A new form of rural tourism, i.e. agriecotourism, and determinants of its development were presented. This kind of touristic services in rural areas includes organizing a stay for holiday-makers in agritourism farms. However, it differs from the typical agritourism because the host farmers practice the organic way of production. Tourists who stay in a agriecotouristic farm are served with food made from farm’s products. In the theoretical part of the article the essence of organic agriculture was shown. Numbers of organic producers and organic food processing plants in Poland were presented by provinces. Next, the number of agriecotouristic farms in Poland was presented. Moreover, factors of agriecotourism development in Małopolska voivodeship were presented. In empirical part of the work results of a research conducted in 20 agriecotouristic farms in this region were shown. / Synopsis. W artykule zaprezentowano nową formę turystyki wiejskiej, tj. agroekoturystykę i determinanty jej rozwoju. Ten rodzaj usług turystycznych na wsi dotyczy organizacji pobytu dla wczasowiczów w gospodarstwach agroturystycznych. Jednak od typowej agroturystyki różni się tym, że rolnicy zajmują się produkcją ekologiczną. Żywność pochodząca z niej jest serwowana turystom wypoczywającym w obiektach agroekoturystycznych. W części teoretycznej artykułu ukazano istotę rolnictwa ekologicznego. Ukazano także liczbę producentów ekologicznych oraz przetwórni ekologicznych w kraju według województw. Następnie przedstawiono liczbę gospodarstw agroekoturystycznych w Polsce. Przedstawiono ponadto czynniki rozwoju agroekoturystyki w województwie małopolskim. W części empirycznej pracy ukazano natomiast wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w 20 gospodarstwach agroekoturystycznych w tym regionie.
