Problem modelu apelacji w sprawach karnych w II Rzeczypospolitej w ujęciu porównawczym — historia czy współczesność?

Author(s): Anna Stawarska-Rippel,Tomasz Adamczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11 (2)/2018

Developing a system of appeals in court proceedings, both in criminal and civil cases, is a matter of particular interest for legal reformers, especially in times of political breakthroughs. Admission of a full appeal, its limitation, or lack stems from the structure of the judiciary. Among priority tasks of the Codification Commission of the Second Republic of Poland was designing a system of appeals that would serve best the re-established Polish state. This article highlights the commission’s deliberations during work on the first Polish code of penal proceedings and during its far-reaching amendments. It discusses the standpoints of opponents and supporters of maintaining appeals from district court rulings decided by a judicial panel. Those problems have not lost their relevance. Until this day changes in a criminal lawsuit primarily attempt to streamline and accelerate penal proceedings. Under changing conditions, the search continues for the correct and adequate proportions between the protection of the defendant’s rights and the value of discovering the truth, the need for protecting public safety, fighting increasing crime, and protecting the victim’s interests.

Author(s): Tadeusz Pindór / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

The main problem dealt with in the publication is the role of technological entrepreneurship in stimulating the processes of development and restructuring of the global economy. The purpose of the paper is to identify and analyze the factors of development and restructuring of the global economy against the background of the challenges and circumstances arising out of compliance with the criteria of sustainable and inclusive development. The paper provides an overview based on the analysis of the world literature, including the Polish contribution, as well as on the experience gained thus far by the leaders in the civilizational transformations of the last decades. The processes illustrating the emergence of a new economic map of the world were based on information concerning the ranking of the technology readiness level — i.e., the capability of an economy to absorb technologies increasing productivity of production factors. This parameter is currently the key element of the economic competitiveness of the individual states. The sources of this information were global reports issued by the OECD, various UN agencies, the World Economic Forum, as well as independent international analytical institutions. The common access to products created as a result of applying disruptive technologies implies a large number of civilizational threats of a hitherto unknown scale. It is advisable to undertake formative actions addressed to users of new devices concerning responsible use of the achievements of inventors and manufacturers of new products.

Author(s): Maria Bernat,Sylwia Jasek / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

Innovations are gaining more and more attention in studies and research mainly due to their role in the socio-economic development of countries.

An Impact of Business Cycles on Revenues and Expenditures of Communes in Poland

Author(s): Marcin Łuszczyk,Agnieszka Janeta / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

One of the basic functions of the state is mitigation of fluctuations in the business cycle. Increased activity in the period of economic slowdown should be demonstrated both by the state budget and local government units. However, the effectiveness of state intervention depends on the condition of the public finance sector. Therefore, in conditions of economic recovery, the state not only should balance its budget, but also should try to pay off at least part of the previously incurred liabilities. According to the authors, the permanent lack of financial discipline of the state, in the near future, will contribute to the budgetary imbalance of communes and will cause serious disruptions in the functioning of local self-governments.

Labor Market Segmentation as an Important Factor in Research of Labor Immigration. Comparative Analysis Based on the Opolskie Voivodship Empirical Findings

Author(s): Sabina Kubiciel-Lodzińska,Bogdan Ruszczak / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the need of taking into account the existence of dual labor markets in the majority of developed countries when analyzing research results on labor immigration. The countries most affected with this duality are the ones where immigration is still on the increase; amongst others, Central and Eastern European countries. Selected qualitative and quantitative research methods were implemented in the study. The data source was a structured questionnaire interview conducted in 2007–2008, among 91 employers and the comparison research carried out again in 2014–2015 with 263 participating entrepreneurs. In accordance with the dual labor market theory, the employers were divided into those who offered employment in the primary or the secondary labor market. The research carried out in the Opolskie Voivodship, Poland showed that those employing a foreign labor force were driven by different reasons in the primary or the secondary sector of the labor market. It was also determined that taking into account the segmentation of the labor market in analyses of results of research on labor immigration positively affected their interpretation and provided more precise conclusions.

Author(s): Barbara Kos,Robert Tomanek / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

The development of the modern economy depends on the efficiency of complex global logistics chains. Logistics employs modern management and telematic technologies, whereas knowledge management is the basis for growth of efficiency and effectiveness of logistics chains. A particular role is played by the universities which educate the future workforce for the Transport-Forwarding-Logistics (TFL) sector. Based on the data from the POLON system, it may be concluded that logistics education is common, especially at the economic and technical universities. According to the Polish statistical data, the graduates find jobs very quickly, whereas their remunerations are higher than the average. The activity of universities in respect of research and education for the purpose of logistics is a factor in the growth of competitiveness of this economy sector.

Author(s): Krzysztof Malik,Anna Jasińska-Biliczak,Mariusz Grochowski / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

The article’s goal is to study internal and external cost as part of the sustainable development paradigm. To illustrate such a problem the role and a scope of presented costs in the health care system are discussed. The practical example from Opolskie Voivodship — the John Paul II Specialist Hospital in Głuchołazy — is presented. For achievement of this aim a literature review is conducted from the scope of health-care economics and its sustainable development as well as internal and external costs (desk research). An analysis of data (data analysis) is performed on the example of the specific hospital (case study). After such analysis it is possible to state that it is necessary to have knowledge regarding the occurrence of diseases in the population and the total (including external) values of social and economic costs of untreated diseases. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to, first of all, implement educational programs. This also applies to general medical practitioners, because, as practice shows, patients are often diagnosed at the stages of disease when effective treatment is nearly impossible.
