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.

Common Purpose

Corruption in the public administration of Ukraine, which is a socio-economic phenomenon, is investigated as a plurality of actions of public service officials, which is arising in the process of realization of their authorities and building relationships and connecting with abuse of political or public authority for the sake of personal gain. An analysis of the preconditions for formation and theoretical substantiation of the predictors of the state anti-corruption policy implementation is conducted. Corruption is manifested through such institutional deformations as institutional constraints, legal burdens, distortions of moral and ethical standards of officials, and tolerance of corruption by society.The main preconditions for the formation of anticorruption policy are as follows: the set of external and internal factors of the mechanisms of public and managerial activity, which is burdened by the historical legacy of the administrative-command system of the Soviet era; formation of the outlook of a civil servant, in which the common purpose of occupying a post is a phenomenon like sinecure; a feature of professional state-management activity, which is determined by the state-power authorities of individuals, which are the exclusive privilege and responsibility of officials; the existence of legal preferences that imply inequality of citizens in the access to socially useful benefits that distort understanding of the legal equality of citizens and are the basis of corruption; the presence of effective foreign experience in the implementation of anticorruption policy, based on the cooperation of government institutions with the private sector and the public, is long-term and complex.The main predictors that will become qualitative and quantitative benchmarks for changing the trend in the implementation of anti-corruption policies are reducing the proportion of actions committed to attract corruption leverage, reducing the share of the shadow economy, raising the index of perceived corruption in Ukraine for five years at least to an average of 60-65, the creation of prerequisites for absolute rejection of corruption, complete lack of tolerance to any, even minimal, manifestations of corruption.

The study included 564 patients with a deficit in the volume of bone tissue of the alveolar process of the maxillary bone, which did not allow simultaneous installation of crestal implants. The work was carried out relying on modern forecasting systems based on an aggregate and quantitative assessment of the risk of intra- and postoperative complications, anatomical and physiological state of tissues and organs in the area of intervention. In the course of the study, a system for predicting the results of subaxillary augmentation was developed. Factors affecting the nature and frequency of complications in the immediate and long-term postoperative periods are highlighted. A comparative assessment of the functioning of the mucociliary clearance depending on the volume and location of the augmentate is given. Functional methods of investigation – spiral computed tomography and cone-beam computerized tomography – of maxillary bones, video endoscopy of the nasal cavity, study of mucociliary clearance, anterior active rhinomanometry were used. The assessment of the state of the augmentate, pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses, the anatomy of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, the state of the maxillary sinus mucosa, the vertical volume of the walls of the maxillary sinus, and the evacuation capacity of the maxillary sinuses were evaluated. A score was determined for each of the studied parameters. Patterns of preoperative changes in the maxillary sinuses that led to complications in the postoperative period were identified. For each of these parameters, the amount of points collected can range from 1 to 5 points. The higher the score, the higher the probability of successful surgical treatment. If the sum of points is from 1 to 2, forecast of subaxillary augmentation is unfavourable, for 3 points is questionable, with a score of 4–5, the prognosis is favourable.

The metallic cables are used for various applications in many industrial fields, such as the aircraft industry, the systems of lifting, the electric lines… In addition, according to the application considered and the conditions of use, the metallic cables undergo degradations whose direct consequences are the strong modifications of the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the components. What induces a notable reduction of the resistant capacity of the cable according to time, able to bring to failure. In particular at the time of the cyclic requests of loading and unloading where the cable undergoes a phenomenon of tiredness. For safety reasons and an optimal use, it is important to anticipate any brutal rupture. Our work consists in finding a method which allows the optimization of the critical damage and the prediction of its useful life expectancy to be able to change it at convenient time. An analysis making it possible to evaluate the effect of the factors affecting the performance of the long-term cable constitutes the principal work in our lab. It consists in developing a modelling making it possible to envisage the capacity resistant of a cable to various levels of damage of its components, the estimate of the residual life expectancy, the evaluation of the risk of rupture for a level of request given, a mechanical model describing the state of damage by tiredness and another mathematics describing the reliability and finally to an analytical modeling of the relation Damage-Reliability to predict the phenomenon of tiredness of the hoisting cables. The adopted approach is an approach multi-scales with a total decoupling between the scale of the wire and that of the cable. The criterion of the failure in fatigue for the cable is more complex than that applied to the continuous structures, where the measures of length of the crack or a simple observation of the loss of integrity can be enough. These criteria are based on a mixture of former experiment, personal preferences, and of damage, for each particular type of application of cable. The occurrence of the unacceptable number of the cuts of wire is, by far, the most common action adopted for the evaluation of the damage in fatigue of the cable, which justifies our choice. This relation makes it possible to connect the reliability to the damage through the fraction of life expectancy; this led to associate at each stage of damage corresponding reliability. In fact, the theory of the damage considers that the damage reached its maximum value 1 when there is appearance of a macroscopic crack; but the cable keeps a resistance translated by a no null reliability. The latter becomes it when the cable is completely broken. Optimization by the reliability of the damage is a technique which supports knowledge and a follow-up of the state of an entity requested during time. Thing was being able to have interest for a possible application in industrial maintenance. In this context, this work and other works of the same tendency were worked out to manage to establish the bond between reliability as being a statistical size, and the damage by tiredness observed and caused by the cyclic requests.

Basic factors affecting the appearance of algae discoloration on the surface of the system are recognized effects of the external environment (external temperature and humidity, short- and long-term radiation, precipitation, wind and air pollution). Internal factors are often neglected by international technical documents on the evaluation of the effectiveness of resistance to biocorrosion of the External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS). Based on literature data and in situ research, the basic internal factors responsible for the occurrence or intensification of the biocorrosion process were systematized. Internal factors were divided into two groups: (1) plaster properties and (2) solutions for material layouts and building details. The results of research on these factors indicate that they directly or indirectly influence the humidity condition of plaster and biocorrosion development is a consequence of this state. The opposite issue, the influence of biocorrosion on plaster properties, is analyzed only in patrial way.

Whether in our professional or private lives, we are all aware of the system wide efforts to provide quality healthcare services while containing the costs. Telemedicine as a method of service delivery has expanded as a result of changes in reimbursement and service delivery models. The growth and sustainability of telehealth within speech-language pathology and audiology, like any other service, depends on the ability to be reimbursed for services provided. Currently, reimbursement for services delivered via telehealth is variable and depends on numerous factors. An understanding of these factors and a willingness to advocate for increased reimbursement can bolster the success of practitioners interested in the telehealth as a service delivery method.

Over 90% of Uganda's power is generated from renewable sources. Standardised Implementation Agreements and Power Purchase Agreements create a long-term relationship between Generating Companies and the state-owned off-taker guaranteed by Government. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures to curb the spread of the virus have triggered the scrutiny and application of force majeure (FM) clauses in these agreements. This article reviews the FM clauses and considers their relevance. The authors submit that FM clauses are a useful commercial tool for achieving energy justice by ensuring the continuity of the project, despite the dire effects of the pandemic. Proposals are made for practical considerations for a post-COVID-19 future which provides the continued pursuit of policy goals of promoting renewable energy sources and increasing access to clean energy, thus accelerating just energy transitions.
