In the context of Romania’s adhesion to the European Union, we should accurately evaluate the consequences of this process on the economic and social activity in a regional plan, due to the existence of some disparities between the development levels of different territorial administration units. Thus, at this stage, the local authorities get increased responsibilities concerning the economic growth, the finances and the local services administration, mainly the social care ones, social protection, learning- educational and health care ones. This responsibility transfer takes place in dynamic conditions, and the local authorities’ capacity to adapt to the new processes is significantly different from a region to another – increasing the risk of regional differences from the point of view of regional services delivery.

We face an uncertain future compared to the generations before us. Undoubtedly, the living conditions of the previous generations were always uncertain: people were subjected to frequent natural disasters, epidemics and famine. But, although we are immune from the plague and famine, in today’s industrialized countries we confront with the social forces which we triggered. These forces bring, in a continuous flux, social changes in our lives. To cope with and answer to the multiple and complex issues generated by change, the contemporary management lies under the sign of the use of new organizational and leadership procedures, methods, techniques and rules. The present paper highlights the significant factors explaining the necessity of change in the modern companies’ management and the way managers contribute to the promotion of these processes

Our ability to function in today’s social and economic world is mightily affected by our language skills and word knowledge. A spoken language is dynamic, its vocabulary being enriched by new words all the time. A special category of lexical creations are the eponyms and the antonomasias, linking various fields: literature, history, mythology, economics, marketing, law etc. A brief analysis of some of these proper names, now common nouns, shows us that poor interdisciplinary knowledge makes the understanding of a text almost impossible. Eponyms and antonomasia are met in everyday language. Their study yields a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the languages and their development. From a legal and an economic point of view, these phenomena have affected the right of a trademark since becoming legal. It is true that finding a name for a new product is a risky approach, particularly from the financial point of view. The paper provides examples and discusses the most important aspects implied by these linguistic issues

Knowledge has become a valuable resource connected with the organization’s ability to innovate and to gain a sustainable competitive advantage. Knowledge exists within the individual and, through the adequate methods can be transferred within the organization. But transferring knowledge within the organization or in project environments is a difficult task, confronted with the central barrier of the willingness of people to share and integrate their knowledge. Thus, the main purpose of the paper is to present the methods that could be applied to project environments in order to increase the processes of knowledge sharing and expand the collective knowledge base. Research on learning has shown that people learn better and retain knowledge longer when their brains are actively engaged, therefore the managers must focus their attention on those methods that engage the team members and make them realize their importance within the team.

The paper presents a sophisticated interactive tool supporting the decision-making of loading parties and vehicle operators – Methodology for the verification of load distribution in a container. The methodology allows us to standardize procedures used by loading parties, and ensures safe loading and transport of container units. Using a spreadsheet (table editor), it offers a simple, quick, affordable and universally applicable solution. The procedures featured in the Methodology are generalised and allow verifying load distribution in any ISO series 1 storage container. The procedures presented are generally algebraically described and accompanied by a calculation flow diagram. Safe handling and transport of a container unit is ensured by keeping the deviation of the actual centre of gravity from the optimum centre of gravity in acceptable limits. A model example of loading of one of the most commonly used containers – ISO 1 C – is also part of the Methodology.

Polskie jednostki samorządu terytorialnego w ostatnich kilku latach inwestowały więcej niż kiedykolwiek. Bardzo wysoki poziom wykorzystania środków unijnych i wysokie dochody w latach 2005-2008 zachęciły samorządy do wydawania jeszcze więcej. W latach 2009-2010 przypadła kulminacja procesu inwestycyjnego. Niestety wiąże się on z bardzo szybko rosnącym poziomem zadłużenia. W obliczu światowego kryzysu i niebezpieczeństwa dla finansów publicznych, podejmowane są różne kroki mające odmienić sytuację. Jak wskazuje praktyka, kroki te nie zawsze są trafione i słuszne. W artykule podjęto próbę skróconej oceny planowanych zmian na rok 2012. Polish local goverment units in past few years were investing more then ever. Very high level of EU funds use and high incomes in 2005-2008 encourage local authorities to spend even more. In 2009-2010 there was a culmination of the investment process. Unfortunately, it involves a very fast-growing indebtedness. In the face of global crisis and danger to the public finances, there are taken various steps to change situation. As practice shows, these measures are not always appriopriate and right. The article attempts to apprise the proposed changes in law for 2012.

W artykule autor przedstawia sposób optymalizacji podatkowej pozwalający spółkom kapitałowym generować straty podatkowe poprzez zbycie udziałów spółek z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, których kapitał został wcześniej obniżony w drodze obniżenia wartości nominalnej ich udziałów. Autor po przedstawieniu instytucji obniżenia wartości nominalnej udziałów przechodzi do analizy konsekwencji podatkowych takiego działania. Na ich podstawie przedstawia on model schematu optymalizacji podatkowej wskazując równocześnie na ryzyka związane z jego stosowaniem. In article the author shows innovative idea of tax optimization that allows companies to generate tax loses through sale of shares in limited liability companies whose capital has been reduced by reducing the nominal value of their shares. At the beginning the author describes the institution of reducing the nominal value of shares stepping afterwards to analysis of tax consequences of such reduction. On the basis of presented deliberations author presents a model of tax optimization.

W dobie kapitalizmu często stawia się pytanie, czy spółdzielczość jest formą działalności gospodarczej, która nadal jest efektywna. Pytanie to wynika przeważnie z faktu niezrozumienia zasad spółdzielczych opierających się nie tylko na pogodni za osiągnięciem jak największych zysków, ale także na dbaniu o pracowników i udziałowców spółdzielni. Forma takiej organizacji sięgała swoimi korzeniami czasów zaborów, a efekty są trwałe, gdyż widoczne jeszcze dziś. Debatę nad losem i przyszłością kooperatywy zacząć należy od zgłębienia jej początków. In the current economics system a question whether cooperative movement is still an effective way of handling business is frequently asked. This doubt has its roots in misunderstanding of the rules existing in such entities, rules that put forward the common interest of its members, rather than the pursuit of economic gains. To fully comprehend the concept and aims of cooperative movement and to be able to discuss the doubtful future of these structures one should go back through its history and origins. The efficiency of such activities has been evident throughout years.

W polskiej literaturze coraz szerzej omawiana jest koncepcja wzrostu regionalnego opierająca się na współpracy instytucji samorządowych i podmiotów prywatnych, czy też inicjatyw publiczno-prywatnych. Koncepcja ta została wykrystalizowana w postaci Regionalnych Systemów Innowacji. Ich głównym zadaniem jest wspieranie regionów w dążeniu do wstąpienia na ścieżkę konwergencji gospodarczej, wskazywanie nowych nisz rozwojowych oraz szerzenie szeroko rozumianego postępu technologicznego jako źródła uzyskiwania przewagi konkurencyjnej. Praktyki te kultywowane są w Europie od kilkudziesięciu lat, w licznych regionach - z pozytywnym skutkiem, który przejawia się w usprawnieniu sieci kooperacji pomiędzy uczestnikami Systemu, a w szczególności pomiędzy grupami badawczymi, a przedsiębiorstwami. Polish literature widely discusses the concept of regional growth based on mutual relations and cooperation between the governmental institutions and private entities, especially in so public-private partnerships. These relations have been developed in form of Regional Innovation Systems which aim to support regions in their pursuit for reaching the convergence path, exploring niche markets and spreading widely understood technological progress meant as a source of gaining competitive advantage. This concept has been successfully applied to numerous European regions which is evident in cooperation networks between the participants, in particular between research groups and companies.

W artykule bada się problem samotnego rodzicielstwa w Polsce. Przedstawia się tu różnorodność metodologiczną tego problemu w ujęciu nauk pedagogicznych i prawnych. W języku angielskim są różne synonimy „samotnego rodzicielstwa”, jak na przykład: „rodzice bez partnera”, „samotny rodzic” czy „rozbity dom, samotna matka, rozbita rodzina”. Autorka, za literaturą naukową, stawia tezę o czterech głównych przyczynach „samotnego rodzicielstwa” w Polsce: alkoholizm, przemoc wewnątrzrodzinna, rozwód i bezrobocie.

It is important to understand that human dignity is conferred by God and not by people, and the sacredness invested in a child since conception does not depend on its physical and mental health or the quality of its DNA. In this context, a parent, regardless the situation is in, is not entitled to alienate the child, because his power is not discretionary, and the child's right to have natural parents to protect him is a divine right. Church can agree with the adoption of the child only in case of major crisis, when both natural parents are gone and we are sure that natural motherhood is completed by spiritual motherhood. Where there is no spiritual motherhood an artificial lineage appears which becomes the antithesis of motherhood. If we need morality and social order for the world of tomorrow, then we have to recover as soon as possible the family and especially to help young families by adopting special national programs.
