Tytuł	Eco-innovative Activity of Ukrainian SMEs
Title
Słowa kluczowe	eco-innovation, innovative development, small, medium and large enterprises, exporters, foreign trade activity, Ukraine
Key words
Abstrakt	The study attempts to investigate the eco-innovative activity of Ukrainian enterprises according to their size (small, medium, and large) with special focus on SMEs as the predominant group of enterprises, which ensure the innovative development of the whole national economy, and is central to the efforts to achieve environmental sustainability and green growth. The empirical analysis is based on a questionnaire survey of 254 Ukrainian enterprises of different sizes; the survey presents data on their current state and foreign trade activity, opportunities and barriers for the implementation of technological innovations and eco-innovations. The relationships between the export and eco-innovative activities is also explored. The analysis showed that SMEs are less eco-innovative in comparison with large enterprises, have fewer numbers of exporters than large firms, but exporters are more eco-innovative than non-exporters. Also, the size of the Eco-innovation Index for Ukraine was calculated. Based on the obtained results, Ukraine is an economy with a low level of eco-innovativeness, so, the study is extremely important.

Tytuł	A Retrospective Evaluation of Rural Populations: Social and Economic Challenges, Expectations and Evaluation
Title
Słowa kluczowe	rural population, economic expectations, reform, agrarian transformation, sociology, Lviv, Ukraine
Key words
Abstrakt	In 1996 and 2016, respectively, the Independent Creative Group (ICG) conducted a comprehensive sociological study "Economic reform - the eye of the village." The aim of the project was to explore the evaluation of economic reform of rural populations in 5 areas: a) economic reform; b) quality of life and expectations; c) businesses; d) agricultural transformation; e) development of farming. The research was conducted in the form of "sociological fixation" expectations, estimates and other reactions to social challenges. The object of the study was a typical village of the Lviv region. The study confirmed the simultaneous increase of confidence in economic transformation and the growth of pessimism in the impact of reforms. The rural population understands the goals and objectives of reforms, and supports private property and the market economy. The standard of living has improved significantly, but it does not cover the real expectations of the population. Farmers understand the role and importance of entrepreneurship and accept new business entities. The study showed significant structural changes in the views and assessments of rural residents of the Lviv region. There is obvious public awareness of fundamental lifestyle changes in the countryside.

Tytuł	The Elasticity of Agricultural Income in the EU Member States Under Different Cost Structures
Title
Słowa kluczowe	agricultural income, cost structure, European Union, income elasticity
Key words
Abstrakt	The aim of this paper was to determine whether the EU countries which vary in terms of their cost structure in agriculture, differ also with regard to the influence of capital-labour ratio and land supply per worker on labour profitability. It was assumed that data concerning the presence and character of those differences can contribute to better understanding of the nature of agricultural development in the EU countries. The main sources of data used in this paper were the Economic Accounts for Agriculture (Eurostat) and the FAOStat database. The study covered the period of 2004-2014. In the article it was shown that agriculture in the EU countries is varied in terms of cost structure, and in the cluster II, including mostly the countries of the so-called “new” EU, intermediate consumption is of relatively larger significance for their cost structure. In the countries of the “old” EU an important role is played by the depreciation of buildings and external services. Stronger influence of capital-labour ratio on the payment to the factor of labour was observed in the cluster II countries. In those countries, increasing capital expenditures was a more efficient strategy to increase income.

Tytuł	Poland's Competitive Position in Trade in Agri-Food Products with the United Kingdom – Selected Aspects
Title
Słowa kluczowe	competitive position, agri-food products, foreign trade
Key words
Abstrakt	Thirteen years have passed since Poland's accession to the European Union. This is a period long enough to make some generalisations over the accession results. This paper focuses on assessing the competitive position of Poland in trade in agri-food products with one of its most important trading partners – the United Kingdom. For this purpose, quantitative indexes of competitive positioning were used, in particular, the trade coverage ratio as well as the revealed comparative advantage indexes – RCAi and LFIi. The conducted analyses show that Poland's competitive position in agri-food trade with the United Kingdom improved markedly over the period considered. The dynamic growth in trade, especially in exports, a significant increase in the trade balance surplus, and generally favourable comparative advantage indexes for Poland show that the period of EU membership has been well utilised by Polish food producers. Polish food is increasingly eagerly bought by demanding British consumers.

Tytuł	Importance and Comparative Advantages of the EU and US Agri-food Sector in World Trade in 1995-2015
Title
Słowa kluczowe	international competitiveness, comparative advantages, export specialisation, agri-food products, world trade, the EU, the US
Key words
Abstrakt	The aim of the paper was to examine the evolution of the importance and comparative advantages of the EU and US agri-food sector in world trade in 1995-2015. The research is based on data from UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) resources. The following indicators were used in the comparative advantage analysis: Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Vollrath’s Revealed Competitiveness (RC), the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), and the Lafay’s Trade Balance Index (TBI). In 1995-2015, the EU countries and the US were the largest players of world trade in agri-food products. The EU countries held comparative advantages in the global market as regards exports of products of animal origin whereas the exports of cereals, preparations of cereals, oilseeds and oleaginous fruits and meat products were the source of revealed comparative advantages for the US. Both the EU countries and the US reached high comparative advantages in trade in those assortment groups which corresponded to their highest shares in global exports and generated a high, consistently increasing positive trade balance. Therefore, their comparative advantages were the source of their favourable export specialisation profile, which is consistent with the classical comparative costs principle.

Abstrakt	Celem pracy jest porównanie jakości orzechów laskowych uprawianych w Polsce do orzechów importowanych, dokonane na podstawie oceny zmian ich właściwości fizykochemicznych w zależności od zastosowanych parametrów prażenia. Materiałem badawczym były orzechy dwóch odmian leszczyny uprawianej w Polsce: ‘Olbrzym z Halle’ i ‘Cosford’. Próbki poddano obróbce cieplnej w dziewięciu kombinacjach: w temperaturze 110°C, 130°C i 160°C, każda w czasie 15, 30 i 60 min. Badano takie parametry, jak: aktywność wody, barwa powierzchni łuski wewnętrznej (brązowej) i powierzchni czystego jądra orzecha oraz jego twardość. Proces prażenia spowodował obniżenie aktywności wody, zmniejszenie jasności (L*) jąder orzechów laskowych niezależnie od odmiany i wzrost wartości indeksu brązowienia (BI). Głównym parametrem decydującym o tych zmianach była temperatura. Ponadto, wraz ze zwiększaniem się temperatury procesu, twardość orzechów zmniejszała się, a ich struktura stawała się bardziej krucha i delikatna. Orzechy odmiany ‘Cosford’ charakteryzowały się większą twardością w stanie surowym w porównaniu do orzechów odmiany ‘Olbrzym z Halle’. Najwyższą jakość orzechów niezależnie od odmiany zapewniało prażenie w 130°C przez 30 min. Orzechy obu odmian prażone w tych parametrach charakteryzowały się porównywalną, dużą łatwością w usuwaniu z nich brązowej łuski wewnętrznej. Dobór optymalnych parametrów procesów technologicznych może wpłynąć na poprawę właściwości przetwórczych orzechów laskowych uprawianych w Polsce, co w konsekwencji umożliwi osiągnięcie konkurencyjności względem zagranicznych odmian i zwiększy szansę ich eksportu, a także wykorzystanie ich krajowej produkcji cukierniczej.
Abstract	The aim of the study is to compare the quality of hazelnuts grown in Poland in opposition to imported ones, based on their changes in physicochemical properties depending on the roasting parameters. The plant material was two hazelnuts cultivars grown in Poland: ‘Olbrzym z Halle’ and ‘Cosford’. The samples were roasted at nine specific temperatures and time conditions: at 110°C, 130°C and 160°C, each at 15, 30 and 60 min. Parameters such as water activity, color of the inner (brown) skin of the husk and color of the pure kernel’s surface and hardness were investigated. The roasting process reduced water activity, decreased luminosity (L*) of kernel hazelnuts irrespective of cultivar and increased browning index (BI) value. The main parameter determining these changes was temperature. In addition, as the process temperature increased the hardness of the nuts and their structure became more fragile and delicate. Nuts of ‘Cosford’ cultivar were characterized by higher hardness compared to the nuts of ‘Olbrzym z Halle’ cultivar. The temperature of 130° for 30 min provided the best quality of the roasted nuts, regardless of the cultivar. Nuts of both cultivars, roasted in these parameters were characterized by comparable, high ease of removal of the brown inner skin. The selection of optimal parameters of technological process can improve the processing properties of Polish hazelnuts and, consequently, ensure their competitive advantage against nuts grown in other countries. This fact could increase both the chance of their export as well as the use in Polish confectionery production.

Tytuł	Agriculture in Poland and Ukraine – Potential and Dynamics of Changes in Production
Title
Słowa kluczowe	productivity gap, agriculture efficiency, production factors, agriculture development
Key words
Abstrakt	The article attempts to compare the importance of agriculture and the dynamics of its development in Ukraine and Poland. The most important constraints on the development of Ukrainian agriculture were identified, including the unregulated land market, lack of coherent support programs for agriculture and rural areas, poorly developed infrastructure of the agricultural environment and lack of capital for development. It was found that agriculture in Ukraine is characterized by a high growth rate of productivity and production. The observed output gap in relation to agriculture in Poland is about 10 years. The agricultural sector in Ukraine has about 10% share in generating GDP and as much as 40% share in exports. Such high importance can be maintained even in the conditions of economic development, as there are large reserves in the development of agribusiness. The most important development factors include the introduction of a coherent program for the development of the agribusiness sector, including production of goods with high added value and increasing the availability of capital for the development of agriculture. A great opportunity is the development of trade in the conditions of affiliation with the EU.

Title
Słowa kluczowe	price volatility, seasonal fluctuations, standard deviation, producer export price, onion, carrot
Key words
Abstrakt	There are the producers who takes the weakest position on the agricultural market. Their activity is especially exposed to the risk factors. Price volatility which stays behind the price risk is one of the most important threats for producers’ incomes. Economic stability is a base for investment and development. That is why the price volatility is worth to having a look at. There are two species examined in this paper: onion and carrot. Both have a significant share in Polish vegetable production. Onion crops are mostly exported but carrot is being sold on the domestic market. Apart from the sales market there was no significant difference in analyzed period between farm-gate price volatility for both species. The measured volatility was getting lower in consecutive years of analyzed period; only in years of unfavorable weather conditions there were some growth. The analyze was conducted with usage of descriptive statistic on the logarithmic rates of return.

Title	Managing the safety of clinical nutrition as an important element of comprehensive health satisfaction
Słowa kluczowe
Key words	quality, management, clinical nutrition, food safety
Abstrakt
Abstract	The health of society treated as a set of potential consumers requires effective action and a multidisciplinary approach. For the paper, a survey (a proprietary questionnaire) was used to determine the impact of quality and the factors determining it. Excessiveconsumption of high-energy food is the cause of diet-related diseases, aggravating both household budgets and the healthcare system. Healthy eating habits and the elements of food production safety should be monitored by a food security system. Such a system should be based on permanent control of nutritional, health-related characteristics and the presence of harmful substances to minimise the risk of disease. The process of improving threat detection systems is based on scientific risk analysis, the results of which form the basis for comprehensive risk management in clinical nutrition. Understanding patients’ opinions about the importance of quality nutrition in public hospitals may be among the determinants for improved multidirectional activities and increase the effectiveness of safe clinical nutrition. This aspect plays an important role in health education.

Abstract	The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a major trade pact created to further integration of the EU and US economies. In today’s low-tariff reality, the agreement concentrates on eliminating nontariff trade barriers between the states, such as the differing standards in the European union and in the United States for given consumer goods and services. Unfortunately, a number of barriers threaten ratification. The agreement remains far from implementation and it is hard to measure how the two sides would benefit from it equally.

Title	Diversification as a modern growth strategy in agriculture
Słowa kluczowe
Key words	strategy, marketing strategy, diversification, agrarian groups, agricultural enterprises
Abstrakt
Abstract	The aim of the article is to examine the theoretical foundations of diversification strategy and identify the characteristics of its application in agriculture. The relevance of diversification strategy research is that its implementation allows additional income to be made, ensures financial stability for enterprise when demand for basic products fluctuates, and strengthens the competitive position in chosen markets. The importance for enterprise of implementing growth strategy is discussed, as is the economic essence of “marketing strategy”. Dynamic changes in the market force producers to review their activity and seek a more optimum development strategy. Diversification can be the optimal strategy when market conditions are uncertain. The article analyzes the essence and types of diversification along with the benefits and disadvantages of diversification strategy. As a result of the research, features of diversification strategy for the agricultural sector were analysed, the essence of which may be found in the unification of agricultural products with other kinds of activity. This is done to decrease the risk arising from receding demand for main agricultural products. The study found that the most effective and least risky strategy is vertical diversification, which involves obtaining a synergistic effect and reducing transaction costs (through the use of a single production chain from field to consumer).

Słowa kluczowe
Key words	population spatial mobility, movement, level of spatial mobility, personalitytypes of spatial mobility, immobility
Abstrakt
Abstract	The aim of the paper is to improve theoretical foundations of the research of the population spatial mobility as an actual socio-economic concept and development of its three-dimensional model. Two basic concepts are used to understand spatial mobility – “mobility” and “space”. The population spatial mobility is suggested to consider its property, which reflects desire, willingness and opportunities to change a place of residence in specified space-time coordinates, which is accompanied by human potential capitalization during implementation processes. Immobility as the opposite property of mobility is identified. A three-dimensional model of the population spatial mobility is considered. The characteristics of the population spatial mobility are generalized. They include: subjectivity, level and scale display, tempology, transformation, goal orientation, potentiality, functionality, the ability to adjust and measurability. All the characteristics are described. The author points out that the methodology to determine the level of the population spatial mobility needs developing. The different types of the population spatial mobility are described in order to assess its level. This is active-mobile and passive-mobile population. The structure of the population spatial mobility is formed depending on the dominance of a particular personality type. The scale of spatial mobility as an important characteristic reflects desire, willingness and opportunities of movement for a specified distance. Functionality as the characteristic of spatial mobility reveals its ability to perform such functions as movement provision, stagnation resistance, balancing and alignment, variability, alternativeness, freedom, protection, development, self-responsibility and individualization. Goal orientation shows that the mobile property of a person allows them to more quickly meet the needs through the achievement of demanded goals compared to other members of society who are immobile. The actuality of the research of the population spatial mobility in the context of human development is proved in the conclusions.

Abstract	This paper investigates reasons why students decide to study abroad, taking into consideration push, pull and individual psychological factors. The research took place in China in a European university branch in Shanghai, where international students weresurveyed. Although up to date there was a lot of research on international students’ motivations to study abroad, testing various push and pull factors models, and there is only one piece of research looking specifically at students motivations with regards to international branch campuses but at Arabic context. The gap created the opportunity for the present investigation. This paper is the first piece of research that examines international students’ motivations to select a European university branch in China. The findings indicate that pull factors could be more important in influencing students to study at international branches of European universities.

Abstrakt
Abstract	Nowadays, it is quite important that business companies understand brand awareness and consumer profile for their products and services. They can take advantage of this information to properly adapt their marketing strategies to the needs of their targetedmarkets and segments. This research paper aims at measuring brand awareness and consumer profile for different types of milk in Tirana. Through a set of face to face questionnaires, it is revealed that those in charge of purchases in the household are pretty aware of the vast majority of the milk brands available in Tirana market. They also give high evaluation scores to the most known brands. On the other hand, consumers’ profile for different types of milk (UHT vs. pasteurized or fresh) seems to differ based on some specific socio-economic variables of the household and the person in charge of the purchases. The consumers with the highest income and education level are more aware about food safety importance. Such consumers are leaned more towards purchasing UHT milk.

Abstrakt	The importance of biotech crops have risen dramatically in the last two decades since their first commercialization. The area of those crops is increasing fast. Soybeans, maize, canola and cotton represent almost 100 percent of area cultivated with biotech crops globally. The number of countries growing biotech crops is also increasing, however currently the United States, Brazil and Argentina are responsible for the largest share of biotech crops among all countries. In 2016, those countries accounted for more than 81% of total world biotech crop area. Judging the potential to introduce new biotechnology, currently the country with the highest number of biotechnology companies is the US followed by Spain and France. In terms of spending on R&D the US is followed by France, Switzerland and South Korea. It must be noted that the highest number of biotech companies and the highest spending is concentrated in the US. Agricultural biotechnology constitute only a small percentage of all biotechnology R&D expenditures.

Abstract	The analysis of the income situation of units of local self-government (entities of local government) based on achieved income, which include most of the sources of income of their own, can determine the long-term ability of these entities to finance their activities. Their own income potential allow local government units to create their own financial policy within the framework of existing law, so it is one of the important factors of sustainable local development. Among the communes, the lowest level of their own income potential distinguishes rural communes. However, these entities are highly diverse in this regard. With the socio-economic development, and especially after Poland’s accession to European structures, the functions performed by rural communes (from the typical agricultural to residential and service functions), and especially those located in the vicinity of the largest cities, are changing. Change of functions performed by rural communities, especially those located in the so-called. Metropolitan areas, translates into a change in the level and structure of their own income of these entities. The main aim of the paper is to analyze the level and structure of own income potential of rural communities in the Poznań Metropolitan Area in the years 2004-2016. Empirical studies were conducted based on data from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office, which were processed using basic descriptive statistics methods.
