Title	Determinants of Use of Climate Change Adaptation Practices by Rice Farmers in Kebbi State, North-West Nigeria
Słowa kluczowe	climate change, smallholder farmers, Nigeria, climate adaptation, adoption, livelihoods
Key words	climate change, smallholder farmers, Nigeria, climate adaptation, adoption, livelihoods
Abstrakt	Rice productivity and sustainability are threatened by both biotic and abiotic stresses, the effects of which can be further aggravated by dramatic changes in global climate. The most viable option for rice farmers is to use climate change adaptation practices. This study therefore investigated the determinants of use of climate change adaptation practices among rice farmers in Kebbi State, North-West, Nigeria. Data were collected from a sample of 279 farmers selected using a multistage sampling procedure. The results of the data analysis revealed that the farmers used improved rice varieties, intercropping, recommended rates of fertilizers and other chemicals as climate change adaptation practices among others. Education, climate change awareness, and extension contact significantly influenced the use of climate change adaptation practices among the farmers. Other determinants of use of climate change adaptation practices among the farmers were years of cooperative membership, affordability, farming experience, weather information and farm size. It was concluded that use of climate change adaptation practices was determined by socioeconomic, institutional and technological characteristics. It is recommended among others that government policy should be geared towards encouraging the farmers especially the younger ones to acquire more formal education, larger farmlands and more climate change awareness.

Title	Genetically Modified Crops’ Technology and its Awareness among Smallholder Farmers in Nigeria
Słowa kluczowe	GMOs, smallholder farmers, awareness for GM crops, Credible seed sources, Agricultural technology
Key words	GMOs, smallholder farmers, awareness for GM crops, Credible seed sources, Agricultural technology
Abstrakt	Genetically Modified (GM) crops are crops modified through genetic engineering to improve their quality. Although safety concerns about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are still being debated, the food security benefits have led to adoption by many counties. In Nigeria, where most farmers are uneducated and likely unaware of the agricultural technology, the government approved its first biotechnology crop for commercialization in 2018. Level of farmers’ awareness is crucial to acceptance of GM crops, although; this has not been fully explored in the literature. Therefore, this study aimed to assess farmers’ awareness for GM crops and the factors that determine their awareness in Oyo state, Nigeria, using primary data collected in 2018 with the aid of well-structured questionnaires from 242 smallholder farmers. Principal component analysis and Tobit regression model were used for data analysis. Results showed that farmers were aged 43 years with farm size of 3.57 ha, farming experience of 14 years and 11 years of education. Most farmers were male (71.90%), married (67.36%), not members of farmer groups (64.46%) and sourced their seeds from non-credible sources (85.12%). Most farmers (52.07%) had either not heard of or did not know of any benefits/costs of GM crops, hence; were not aware of GM crops. Factors that influenced awareness of GM crops were being a male farmer, years of education and source of seeds. The study concluded that increasing years of education and ensuring use of credible seed sources will increase awareness of the costs and benefits of GM crops among farmers.

Title	Adoption Spells of Improved Potato Varieties by Smallholder Farmers in Eastern Ethiopia: The Duration Approach
Słowa kluczowe	adoption spell, Weibull, static, potato varieties, Ethiopia
Key words	adoption spell, Weibull, static, potato varieties, Ethiopia
Abstrakt	Potato is mainly tagged as a food security crop in Ethiopia. However, its productivity remains low due to low adoption of improved technologies by smallholder farmers. Duration models, namely, Parametric (Weibull) and Non-parametric (Kaplan Meier) were used to analyze the data gathered from 365 sample farmers. The Non-parametric result revealed that the average duration that potato growers should wait before adopting a new variety is about 3.5 years. The Weibull regression indicated that timely availability of seed, access to labor and irrigation water, land size, and adaptation strategy by farmers are found to be factors curtailing the timeframe to adopt improved potato varieties. The regression analysis revealed that costs of inputs such as manure and compost, environmental and market factors such as drought, pest and disease outbreaks, price variability of potato seed, and quality of potato seed were found to be factors influencing adoption decisions of improved potato varieties by smallholder farmers.

Słowa kluczowe	geographical indications, traditional and regional products, intellectual property, visual communication
Key words	geographical indications, traditional and regional products, intellectual property, visual communication
Abstrakt	The contemporary development of rural areas requires verified agricultural production and support for manufacturing of traditional and regional high-quality products. The aim of the research described in this article has been to assess customer awareness of these products and to identify the features attributed to them in view of existing legal regulations. A catalogue of currently binding regulations has been established, taking account of their axiological assumptions, and results of a survey have been analysed. An assessment of the law functioning in this area has allowed the conclusion that a simplification of the existing regulations and procedures is needed. This is the precondition for the axiological assumptions of the said regulations to be fulfilled. The weight of the discussed subject has been proven by the results of the conducted survey: 93% of the respondents declared buying the described products. The quality of the products, as well as the respondents’ pride in the indigenous culinary tradition, were the main reason for their choice (54%). Examining the laws in the discussed area requires adoption of an interdisciplinary axiological perspective.

Słowa kluczowe	wydajność i optymalizacja witryn internetowych, funkcjonalność, projek­towanie responsywne
Key words	website performance and website optimization, functionality, responsive web design
Abstrakt	O przewadze konkurencyjnej na rynku usług turystycznych może zadecydować wykorzystanie możliwości udostępnianych przez Internet oraz globalne zmiany technologiczne. W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań empirycznych witryn internetowych gospodarstw agrotury­stycznych położonych w województwach: warmińsko-mazurskim, podkarpackim i małopolskim. Badania wykonano za pomocą aplikacji sieciowych, które automatyzują testy wybranych para­metrów witryn, w szczególności użyteczności, wydajności oraz techniki wykonania. Wykazano, że oceniane witryny wymagają optymalizacji i w świetle zmian jakościowych zachodzących w Internecie mogą sukcesywnie tracić miejsce w wynikach wyszukiwania. Ponadto wyniki badań skłaniają do refleksji nad skutecznością indywidualnych witryn internetowych gospodarstw agroturystycznych w promocji ich usług i rodzą pytanie, czy w przyszłości dominującej roli nie przejmą w tym zakresie wyspecjalizowane portale grupujące oferty noclegów w Internecie.
Abstract	The development of rural tourism may be supported by adoption and implementation of technical and orga­nizational innovations. Using the possibilities offered by the Internet and global technological changes may be crucial for the competitive advantage on the market of tourist services. The article presents the results of empirical research conducted on the websites of agritourism farms located in the Warmia-Masuria, Subcarpathia and Lesser Poland voivodeships. The research was carried out with the use of web-based applications that automate the tests of selected parameters of the websites, in particular utility, efficiency and performance techniques. It was demonstrated that the evaluated websites require optimization. What is more, in the light of the qualitative changes occurring on the Internet, the websites may gradually lose their position in search results. Moreover, the results of the study encourage reflection on the effectiveness of individual websites of agritourism farms in promoting their services. Apart from that, a question arises whether the dominant role in this area will be taken over by specialized Web portals providing accommodations offers.

Abstrakt	Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu przyjęcia Międzynarodowych Standardów Sprawozdawczości Finansowej na znaczenie skonsolidowanej sprawozdawczości finansowej dla wartości rynkowej banków na wschodzącym rynku kapitałowym Polski. Badaniem objęto próbę wszystkich banków komercyjnych z siedzibą w kraju, notowanych na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie w okresie 1997–2013, które sporządzały skonsolidowane sprawozdania finansowe zarówno przed 2005 rokiem, jak i po nim od kiedy MSSF stały się obligatoryjne. Zastosowane metody badawcze obejmowały analizę regresji liniowej oraz test Chowa oszacowań stabilności parametrów. Wyniki empiryczne wskazują, że obserwowany wzrost znaczenia dla wartości rynkowej wartości księgowej skonsolidowanych kapitałów własnych, jak również wyników finansowych netto banków po przyjęciu MSSF jest nieistotny statystycznie. Ponadto, zdolność wspomnianych zmiennych księgowych do objaśniania zmienności wartości rynkowej faktycznie zmalała w okresie po przyjęciu standardów. Uzyskane rezultaty są zatem spójne z wynikami poprzednich badań dotyczących zarówno sektora bankowego, jak i przedsiębiorstw niefinansowych na polskim rynku kapitałowym
Abstract	The paper aims at investigating the impact of the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards on the value relevance of consolidated financial reporting of banks in the emerging capital market of Poland. The investigation covers a sample of all domestically-based commercial banks listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange over the period 1997–2013 that prepared consolidated financial statements both before and after 2005, when IFRS became mandatory. The research methods employed involved multiple linear regression analysis and the Chow test for structural break. The empirical evidence indicates that observed increase in the value relevance of consolidated book values of equity and net earnings of banks after adoption of IFRS is statistically insignificant. Moreover, the descriptive power of the aforementioned accounting variables appears to have in fact diminished in the period succeeding the adoption. The obtained results are therefore consistent with the findings of previous studies regarding both banking and non-financial enterprises sector in the Polish capital market.

Słowa kluczowe	przygotowanie rolników do produkcji ryżu, prowincja Malaita,1Wyspy Salomona
Key words	farmer adoption, rice adoption, Malaiata Province, Solomon Islands
Abstrakt	W 2006 roku rząd Wysp Salomona realizował program zwiększania produkcji ryżu. Niski poziom jego produkcji rodzi jednak wątpliwości dotyczące skuteczności realizacji planu, którego celem było promowanie produkcji ryżu. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja czynników, które przyczyniły się do podjęcia przez rolników decyzji o wprowadzenie (lub nie) produkcji ryżu. Zgromadzone dane poddano analizie jakościowej. Czynniki wpływające na decyzje rolników podzielono na trzy kategorie: technologiczne, czynniki wewnętrzne (związane z rolnikiem i jego gospodarstwem) oraz czynniki zewnętrzne (polityka rolna, rozwój infrastruktury, uwarunkowania rynkowe). Przedstawiono także główne czynniki, które skłoniły rolników do zaprzestania produkcji pod koniec 2010 roku (mało skuteczne wdrożenie instrumentów polityki rolnej, niski autorytet lidera grupy, niska dostępność specjalistycznych usług). Badania wykazały, że większość rolników, którzy nie podjęli się produkcji ryżu, kierowało się głównie trudnościami we wdrożeniu technologii.
Abstract	In 2006, the Solomon Islands Government implemented the Rice Development Programme aiming to promote rice growing. However, the low level of rice adoption raised questions relating to the successful implementation of this programme. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors that contributed to farmers’ decision to adopt or not to adopt rice. The data collected was analysed using the qualitative analysis. This study separated the factors that influenced the farmers’ decision to adopt rice technology into three broad categories: characteristics of technology, internal factors and external factor. However, it was found that poor policy implementation, poor leadership by the community leaders and poor delivery of extension service were the key factors that affected the adopters’ decision to discontinue the use of the technology in the end of 2010. This study also showed that the majority of farmers in Fiu village did not adopt the technology due to the negative attributes of the rice technology such as: complexity, lack of compatibility with traditional practices, resource requirements and risk of crop failure.

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.

Abstrakt	Zarządzanie marką jest dla menedżerów produktu istotnym wyzwaniem. Artykuł prezentuje rolę marki w zachowaniach nabywców, uwarunkowania procesu komercjalizacji oraz miejsce marki w tym procesie, wskazując na jej istotne znaczenie. Marka staje się coraz ważniejszym atrybutem przy dokonywaniu zakupu przez klientów. Stąd też odgrywa ona coraz większą rolę w procesie komercjalizacji innowacji. W związku z tym należy rozpatrywać ją zarówno w aspekcie strategicznym, jak i taktycznym podczas wprowadzania nowego produktu na rynek. Pomocny w tym względzie jest wybór marki opartej na dwóch wymiarach: typie nowości oraz orientacji rynkowej.
Abstract	Brand management is a major challenge of the product managers. The paper presents the role of brand in the behavior of buyers, conditions of commercialization process and role of the brand in this process, indicating its importance. Brand is more and more important attribute in buying process. For that reason brand plays fundamental role in the commercialization of innovation. Therefore, company should look for some ways to effectively use brand in strategic and tactic activity. Helpful in this regard is the selection of the brand based on two dimensions: the type of innovation and market orientation.

Słowa kluczowe	brak
Key words	policies, beekeeping, Romania, development, European Union
Abstrakt	brak
Abstract	The present research aims to achieve a retrospective analysis of sustainable policies for the development of beekeeping in Romania, an important sector that contributes to the development of rural areas. Romanian’s objectives regarding the development of this sector are based on the adoption of a clear vision and on the support of state, materialised by the National Beekeeping Program. The assessment of the program implementation reveals the following aspect: in the analyzed period 2008-2010, an improvement of the access to funds can be observed, the level of absorption increasing from 16.8% in 2008 to 99.8% in 2010. The consequences following the funds accession are an increase of association forms and a restoration of beekeeping exploitations. Nevertheless, there are still problems in the North East regions of the country, due to lack of information regarding the accession to funds. These problems could be solved by creating a platform that should constantly reunite beekeepers, researchers and specialists of the sector that share their experience and skills, establishing a dialogue between all the actors in the beekeeping chain
