Polish Economy

In today's market economy factors concerning knowledge, new technologies and innovative solutions are essential for economic development. However, the Polish economy, despite its high innovation potential compared to other European Union countries, is characterized by a very low level of innovativeness. Implementing this potential is conditioned with an appropriate economic policy of the state and rational approach to its resources and legal solutions. One of the possibilities of such an action is the use of public procurement instrument through which it is possible to more effectively create demand for innovative products and services. As shown by literature studies, the achievements of the subject literature associated with the creation of demand for innovations by public administration in Poland have been very modest. This gap is recognized the article and it attempts to build a model for assessing the innovativeness of these units. Network thinking methodology was used to build the model. As a result, after the identification of factors affecting the conduct of an innovative public procurement, a network of links was established between them and examined in terms of type, intensity and duration of exposure. Building a model according to the methodology, the opinions of experts have been used along with long-term observations conducted in the course of participation in all kinds of conferences and trainings. The model was also subjected to validation in two selected units.

Medium Enterprises

Structural change has been a significant contributor to Vietnam’s impressive growth experience over the past three decades. Labour has moved rapidly from agriculture into manufacturing, with important improvements in livelihoods as the result. The private sector has played a key role in this success story, and especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have shown the necessary dynamism to adapt to an economic policy and institutional reform design, characterized as decentralized experimentalism. This dynamism of private SMEs has played a crucial role for the pace of diffusion of experimental successes—upstream and downstream along the value chain. Whether this success will carry into the future when innovation of new technologies and productivity growth will have to become core drivers of Vietnam’s growth prospects stands out as a major challenge for future success.

Rules Of The Game

The international system is rapidly being reshaped by the growing strategic rivalry between the USA and China. They are competing for control over resources (and access to resources and markets) as well as for dominance of the new technologies which will define economic power. They are also vying for control over the rules of the game. As China seeks more influence in international cooperation, the USA is turning sharply away from multilateralism, acting unilaterally in security, economic policy, and global health. Existing international organizations will likely be marginalized or used as pawns in the superpower competition. The consequences for Europe are profound. This chapter uses history to explore the ways multilateralism can be reinvented against this backdrop, and with what consequences for Europe.

The Impact

Subject. The article examines the impact of digital transformation determinants on the consumer behavior model. Objectives. I set my own approach to adjusting the socio-economic policy of the State so as to accumulate positive effects of the digital transformation of households' consumption and create a new society of consumers. Methods. The study is based on principles of the systemic integration and cross-disciplinary approaches. Results. I substantiate the scientific concept about the origination of the digital paradigm of the modern society and transformation of the consumption and the conceptual model of the consumers' economic behavior in the digital economy so as to amplify and unfold the theory of consumption. The article indicates socio-economic and institutional mechanisms for accumulating positive effects of the digital transformation of households' consumption and create a new society of consumers. Conclusions and Relevance. The integration of brand new technologies, accelerating globalization, use of information as a key production driver are indicative of an emerging paradigm of the economic development, i.e. the digital economy. I present my own conceptual model of consumer behavior, where the consumer is concurrently viewed as the center of his/her own ecosystem and leaves a digital trial through related constituents of the digital environment. Understanding the phenomenon, I managed to describe social and economic externalities arising from the digitalization of consumption. I also formulated financial and institutional mechanisms for the national policy to eliminate negative effects and raise a new society of consumers.

The advent of digitalization is providing big opportunities, which are changing the shape of the broadcasting industry. New business models and revenue opportunities based on digital capabilities are emerging. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the different business models adopted in Europe in terms of contents offered and related revenue opportunities. After reviewing the business model literature and analyzing the value curve of interactive television (iTV) services the chapter addresses the following research questions: (1) How to cross the chasm of knowledge? (2) How to explore the opportunities opened by new technologies? (3) Which trends will influence the launch of new ITV services? The chapter describes revenue flows among the value chain elements, critical success factors for achieving competitive position, the role of content, and customer gate keeping in the new competitive environment.

Gas Pressures

Only recently it became possible to expand scanning electron microscopy to low vacuum and atmospheric pressure through the introduction of several new technologies. In principle, only the specimen is provided with a controlled gaseous environment while the optical microscope column is kept at high vacuum. In the specimen chamber, the gas can generate new interactions with i) the probe electrons, ii) the specimen surface, and iii) the specimen-specific signal electrons. The results of these interactions yield new information about specimen surfaces not accessible to conventional high vacuum SEM. Several microscope types are available differing from each other by the maximum available gas pressure and the types of signals which can be used for investigation of specimen properties.Electrical non-conductors can be easily imaged despite charge accumulations at and beneath their surface. At high gas pressures between 10-2 and 2 torr, gas molecules are ionized in the electrical field between the specimen surface and the surrounding microscope parts through signal electrons and, to a certain extent, probe electrons. The gas provides a stable ion flux for a surface charge equalization if sufficient gas ions are provided.

Abstract P-type ATPases transport ions across biological membranes against concentration gradients and are essential for all cells. They use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to propel large intramolecular movements, which drive vectorial transport of ions. Tight coordination of the motions of the pump is required to couple the two spatially distant processes of ion binding and ATP hydrolysis. Here, we review our current understanding of the structural dynamics of P-type ATPases, focusing primarily on Ca2+ pumps. We integrate different types of information that report on structural dynamics, primarily time-resolved fluorescence experiments including single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer and molecular dynamics simulations, and interpret them in the framework provided by the numerous crystal structures of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. We discuss the challenges in characterizing the dynamics of membrane pumps, and the likely impact of new technologies on the field.

Meiosis I

Abstract While many of the proteins involved in the mitotic centromere and kinetochore are conserved in meiosis, they often gain a novel function due to the unique needs of homolog segregation during meiosis I (MI). CENP-C is a critical component of the centromere for kinetochore assembly in mitosis. Recent work, however, has highlighted the unique features of meiotic CENP-C. Centromere establishment and stability require CENP-C loading at the centromere for CENP-A function. Pre-meiotic loading of proteins necessary for homolog recombination as well as cohesion also rely on CENP-C, as do the main scaffolding components of the kinetochore. Much of this work relies on new technologies that enable in vivo analysis of meiosis like never before. Here, we strive to highlight the unique role of this highly conserved centromere protein that loads on to centromeres prior to M-phase onset, but continues to perform critical functions through chromosome segregation. CENP-C is not merely a structural link between the centromere and the kinetochore, but also a functional one joining the processes of early prophase homolog synapsis to late metaphase kinetochore assembly and signaling.
