Title	Female Farmers’ Agricultural Information Needs and Food Production: A Case Study of Imbulpe ds Division in Sri Lanka
Słowa kluczowe	agricultural information, Imbulpe, information needs, Sri Lanka, women farmers
Key words	agricultural information, Imbulpe, information needs, Sri Lanka, women farmers
Abstrakt	The study was conducted to find out female farmers’ agricultural information needs and their impact on food production, in the Imbulpe DS Division in Sri Lanka. Of the female farmers in the area, 238 were taken as the sample for the study from seven selected Grama Niladhari (GN) divisions in the area. Female farmers were selected by using a simple random sampling method from these purposively selected GN divisions. A pre-tested, interviewer-administered questionnaire survey was used as the primary data collection method from March to July 2019. Data analysis was done by using descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis. The result revealed that the majority (62.6%) of respondents were middle aged (40-59 years), married, and belonged to families with 4-5 members. Most respondents (64.3 %) had studied up to junior secondary education level. Their average farm land size is 0.84 acres and they have farming experience of about 15 years. Most of the respondents mentioned that they had obtained higher levels of information needs about improved crop varieties. In addition, female farmers reported that they moderately need information on application of agrochemicals, improved market systems and modern farming technologies. Extension agents and other female farmers act as their major sources of agricultural information and ICT equipment acts as the least important agricultural information source in this area. Moreover, there is a significant positive association between the agricultural information needs and food production. Therefore, providing necessary agricultural information and enhanced utilization of ICT tools for agricultural information sources, and encouraging female farmers to participate in farming societies will lead to enhanced food production in this area.

Title
Słowa kluczowe	level of ICT use, natural person, rural areas, European Union, MCDA, AHP
Key words
Abstrakt	Information and communication technologies (ICT) are becoming more accessible and more widely used indifferent areas of socio-economic activity and in various territories, including rural areas. There is a noticeableincrease in the interest of rural residents in modern technologies, especially those supporting communication.At the same time, it should be noted that despite the small level of ICT skills and competences, ruralareas have great potential that can be expressed in: human resources, the natural environment biodiversity,and raw materials. Therefore, rural areas in Europe should be similar in terms of the use of ICT and shouldnot differ from the level observed in urban areas.The article presents the use of the AHP method (Analytic Hierarchy Process) for multicriteria decision analysisof the use of ICT by natural persons living in rural areas of the European Union (EU), in 2018. The empiricalmaterial used in the research came from the resources of the European Statistical Office (Eurostat).The result of the survey is the ranking of 27 EU countries (Great Britain was omitted). The obtained resultsshowed large disproportions in the use of ICT in rural areas between the countries of the European Union.In the extreme case, between Denmark being the leader of the ranking and Bulgaria, which was in the 27thplace, this differences amounted to 70.7%.

Title	Rozwój prosumpcji na rynku E-usług w Polsce
Słowa kluczowe	prosumption, prosumer, e-services, ICT, non-participant observation
Key words	prosumpcja, prosument, e-usługi, ICT, obserwacja nieuczestnicząca
Abstrakt	In the information age, the growth of prosumer behavior would not be possible without the development of ICT technologies. The interactivity of contemporary media creates favourable conditions for the development of prosumption (a combination of “production” and “consumption.”) The article presents the problem of the behaviors of e-service consumers and demonstrates the results of a qualitative study which was conducted in 2018. For the purpose of the study, non-participant observation was adopted: conversations on internet forums dedicated to e-services were followed.
Abstract	W dobie społeczeństwa informacyjnego wzrost zachowań prosumenckich nie byłby możliwy bez rozwoju technologii ICT. Interaktywność współczesnych mediów sprzyja rozwojowi zjawiska prosumpcji. Artykuł przedstawia zagadnienia związane z postępowaniem nabywców e-usług i prezentuje wyniki badań jakościowych. Badania przeprowadzono techniką obserwacji nieuczestniczącej w 2018 roku śledząc uczestników dyskusji na branżowych forach internetowych poświęconych e-usługom. Artykuł ma charakter badawczy.

Tytuł	USE OF ICT SERVICES AT FOOD PROCESSING ENTERPRISES AND THE INFORMATION SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT
Title
Słowa kluczowe	food processing, ICT, ICT services, information society
Key words
Abstrakt	The aim of the article is to analyse the scale of use and to assess the services related to modern information and communication technologies at food processing enterprises and to identify the dependencies between the obtained indices and the features characterising the entities surveyed. The grounds for considerations are findings of the surveys with 201 managers of enterprises of this sector, differentiated in terms of size. The analysis comprised the three areas of ICT services: telecommunications services, services related to software and consultancy in the IT area, and information-related services. The results indicate a wide scope of the use of ICT services – telecommunication services are used by all the entities surveyed, those related to software and consultancy – by three quarters, while information-related services – by almost 60%. In case of all entities there are noted growing outlays on their application, justified, on the one side, by the demand, and, on the other side, by high appraisals of their quality and up-to-datedness (more than 70% of indications) as well as their impact on competitiveness of the entities using them (percentages at the level of more than 60%). It must be said that there occur quite big differences in the indices obtained, due to the features of the enterprises in question. Most often statistically significant dependencies appear in case of information-related services – they are determined by the size of enterprises and the origin of their capital. In case of the services related to software and IT consultancy, the said dependencies also concern the enterprises’ size and, additionally, the range of their activities. Definitely most seldom the statistically significant dependencies occur in case of telecommunication services.

Słowa kluczowe	global economic powers, growth factors, growth barriers, EU global position
Key words	global economic powers, growth factors, growth barriers, EU global position
Abstrakt	The subject of the paper is an analysis of the economic results of the main factors affecting GDP growth in the European Union in 2000-2016. The aim is to evaluate the global position of the EU as well as to identify the main factors affecting growth of the EU’s economic potential and effectiveness. The analysis also includes the long-term development gap in the EU-15/EU-28 versus the U.S.A. Quantitative and qualitative criteria were used in the assessment. Quantitative criteria include: growth rates of GDP, investments and exports, the EU’s share in global GDP, and global exports of goods and services. The qualitative criteria are: labour productivity and total factor productivity TFP. The results of the study are as follows: 1) evaluation of the EU position in the global economy (quantitative indicators) show a decline in the EU's share in global GDP, and trade and FDI were not greater than in the U.S.A.; 2) pertaining to the qualitative criteria the United States ranks better; 3) factors contributing the most to the weakening of the global economic position of the EU are: lower investment in the ICT sector compared to the U.S., differentiation of EU members in terms of their ability to grow, socio-economic divergence and a crisis in the eurozone.

Tytuł	REGIONAL DIFFERENTIATION OF POLAND IN TERMS OF THE DEGREE OF DIGITAL EXCLUSION OF HOUSEHOLDS IN 2017
Title
Słowa kluczowe	ICT, digital divide, households, ELECTRE TRI
Key words
Abstrakt	Nowadays, the digital economy plays a significant role in economic life. It is determined by the intensive development of modern ICT (Information and Communication Technology). Thus, the importance of the information society using techniques of information communication and processing that arose from the connection of other households is increasing. These households participate and form the basis for the process of creating social capital. Therefore, it seems interesting to examine the socio-economic space of Polish households due to the existence of disproportions in ICT development. The article presents the results of the classification of Polish voivodeships in terms of the degree of digital exclusion understood as lack of access or the ability to use ICT in households in 2017. The research used the ELECTRE TRI method, which is an example of a multicriteria decision support method used to classify decision variants based on a relationship of exceedance. The obtained results allowed for the identification of regions that are characterized by the highest degree of exclusion of digital households (the lowest use of ICT). This group includes the following provinces: Podlasie, Lublin and Lubusz. Into the analyses carried out additionally and deliberately introduced the region of Masovia Province without the capital city and separately the region of Warsaw (the capital city), which clearly different from other units. Thus, it served as a reference point in the study, which represents highly urbanized areas of voivodeships characterized by a low degree of digital exclusion.

Abstrakt	Celem tego opracowania jest przedstawienie, analiza i ocena miejsca rolnictwa i turystyki w procesie rozwoju społeczno-ekonomicznego Mauritiusu. Jest to państwo, któremu pomimo, silnie ograniczających uwarunkowań geograficznych, udało się przyspieszenie (w ostatnich 20-30 latach) procesu rozwoju społeczno-ekonomicznego. To stało sie podstawą i wstępem do zainicjowania badań tej afrykańskiej – wyspiarskiej gospodarki.
Abstract	Africa is viewed as the next business frontier worldwide. In the last decade, we have been witnessing increased investment operations in Africa by US, Chinese, Japanese and European companies. The restrictions of African agricultural production and tourism as a prosperous industry are possible to overcome. The future prospects are favorable. The economy of Mauritius is based on sugar, tourism, textiles and apparel, and financial services, and is rapidly expanding into fish processing, ICT, hospitality and property development. The aim of this paper examines the environment for developing agro and tourism business in Mauritius, which in turn strengthens the private sector. It also identifies opportunities that can stimulate the countries’ broader reform efforts with the ultimate goal of poverty reduction.

Słowa kluczowe	zaawansowanie rozwiązań logistycznych, rentowność przedsiębiorstw, paradoks produktywności
Key words	logistics solutions advancement, profitability of enterprises, productivity paradox
Abstrakt	W pracy przedstawiono ocenę sprawności działania polskich przedsiębiorstw przemysłu spożywczego oraz ich rentowności z uwzględnieniem ich podziału branżowego oraz podziału według wielkości zatrudnienia. Przedstawiono również ocenę siły zależności pomiędzy poziomem zaawansowania wykorzystywanych rozwiązań z zakresu logistyki i za­rządzania informacją a badanymi wskaźnikami efektywności i rentowności. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają występowanie w sektorze spożywczym paradoksu produktywności Solowa, co wskazuje na poszerzenie jego zakresu również o systemy logistyczne. Niemniej w niektórych branżach, np. mięsnej czy paszowej, wydaje się on nie występować.
Abstract	The paper presents the evaluation of the efficiency of the Polish agri-food industry and its profitability ta­king into account its division of industry and employment size. It also evaluates the strength of the relationship between the level of advancement of the logistics and information management solutions used and the indicators of efficiency and profitability. The results confirm the presence of the Solow productivity paradox in the food sector, which shows that its scope is broadened by including logistics systems. However, it appears that in some industries, e.g. meat or feed industry, the Solow productivity paradox does not exist.

Abstrakt	Living in a globalized world with robustly expanding information and communications technology, the 21st century consumer is exposed to innovative business models emerging in the cyberspace. On the one hand, this offers a chance of consumer empowerment and wider choice but on the other, previously unknown issues and threats are making themselves felt, among them electronic surveillance and loss of privacy. In the present article, an attempt is made to diagnose the chances for, and threats to, consumer sovereignty resulting from globalization and swift development of new information and communications technology.
Abstract	Konsumenci XXI wieku żyją w epoce globalizacji i dynamicznego rozwoju nowych technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych owocujących m.in. pojawieniem się innowacyjnych modeli biznesowych w przestrzeni wirtualnej. Z jednej strony daje to szansę upodmiotowienia konsumentów i zwiększenia zakresu ich swobody wyboru, z drugiej – stwarza nieznane wcześniej problemy i zagrożenia, związane m.in. z elektroniczną inwigilacją, utratą prywatności itp. W artykule podjęto próbę diagnozy szans i zagrożeń dla suwerenności konsumentów wynikających z procesów globalizacji i szybkiego rozwoju nowych technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych.

Key words	agriculture, information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D), extension, Reflective Appraisal of Programs (RAP), qualitative research
Abstrakt	Małe i marginalizowane gospodarstwa rolne w wielu rozwijających się krajach na półpustynnych obszarach strefy tropikalnej są zależne przede wszystkim od usług z zakresu rozpowszechnienia wiedzy rolniczej. Technologie informacyjne i komunikacyjne na rzecz rozwoju ( ICT4D ) wiążą się z zainteresowaniem rozwojem określonych mechanizmów i narzędzi wraz z oceną wyników ich zastosowania. Analiza ośmioletniego projektu doradztwa w 21 wioskach Andhra Pradesh w Indiach sugeruje, że rozwój podejścia multimedialnego, badającego zarówno organizację lokalnych rolników, jak i kontekst, przynosi dobre wyniki. Takie wyniki są związane nie tylko z kwestiami technologicznymi, ale również kwestiami gospodarczymi, społecznymi i ekologicznymi. W artykule zaprezentowano badania jakościowe, w których analizowano opinie rolników i miejscowej ludności oraz zastosowano podejście teoretyczne na bazie refleksyjne oceny programów Reflective Appraisal of Programs (RAP). Wyniki badań można uznać za satysfakcjonujące, mogące stanowić podstawę do kontynuowania tego projektu lub kolejnych projektów ICT4D badających transfer innowacji i wiedzy.
Abstract	Small and marginalized farmers of many developing countries in semi-arid tropics depend primarily on extension services for information. Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) have shared actions to develop specific mechanisms and tools, to consider how they are applied, and to assess their outcomes and impact. Analysis of an eight-year extension project in 21 villages of Andhra Pradesh, India suggests that the development of a multimedia approach, which considers both the local farmers´ organization and context, brings about good results. Such outcomes are related not only to the technological frame, but also to economic, social, and ecological issues. A qualitative research study which takes into account the opinions of farmers and local people using the theoretical approach of Reflective Appraisal of Programs (RAP) is presented. Implications and lessons learned are considered for the project to be continued or for application in further ICT4D projects based upon the transfer of innovations and knowledge.

Title	INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR ICT UTILIZATION IN RURAL INDIA
Słowa kluczowe	rola ICT, instytucje, analiza polityki, rozwój obszarów wiejskich, Indie
Key words	role of ICTs, institutions, policy analysis, rural development, India
Abstrakt	Rolnictwo to jeden z najważniejszych sektorów Indii, który może w znacznym stopniu skorzystać z zastosowania ICT, szczególnie dla budowania zmian w warunkach społeczno-gospodarczych biednych regionów wiejskich. Osiągnięcie tych korzyści wymaga odpowiednich instytucji, które wspierałyby przyswajanie i wykorzystanie ICT. Podjęto próbę przedstawienia obecnego stanu głównych instytucji Indii, aby ocenić je pod kątem budowy dogodnego środowiska dla przyswajania i wykorzystania ICT w regionach wiejskich Indii. Stwierdzono, że pięcioletnie plany polityki narodowej dotyczące ICT i telekomunikacji rozwijają się w dobrym kierunku, a rządowe inicjatywy stają się coraz dojrzalsze, ale brakuje im specyficznych rozwiązań.
Abstract	Agriculture is one of the most important sectors in India, and could benefit tremendously with the applications of ICTs especially in bringing changes to socio-economic conditions of the poor in rural areas. Achieving these benefits requires proper institutions for ICT adoption and utilization. Therefore The current state of major Indian institutions (ICT and rural policies) using document analysis is evaluated against supporting progress in areas of the horizontal side of the “cube framework” in rural India. Major finding is that The Five Year Plans, National ICT and Telecom Policies are developing in the right direction and government initiatives are increasingly maturing, but may lack some specific solutions.

Słowa kluczowe
Key words
Abstrakt
Abstract	The paper presents a preliminary method of ICT value analysis. The aim of this paper was to identify all ICT value sources, areas within which the economic role of ICT increases. The author finds that the main areas of independent, holistic ICT value growth are institutions, technologies, implementation, accessibility, affordability, know-how and actual use of ICT’s. They constitute a system, which is called ICT ecosystem or ICT value growth chain. The development of the ICT ecosystem is complete and sustainable (balanced), when it is carried out simultaneously within all of its areas. Each area produces some value, but it is not, technically speaking, the added value, represented collectively by the equivalent of “market price” good in the classic production chain, but the absolute value assessed from the perspective of its role in the economy. The presented structure provides the basis for presentation and analysis of multidimensional development of ICTs and its role in the economic growth.
