The study aims to show the essence and significance of culinary tourism that can become a key element in building the future development strategy of the analyzed area. The article has an empirical character and presents in its contents the analysis of selected results of research that were obtained during the implementation of the research project entitled “Prospects for the expansion of culinary tourism in Poland based on selected endemic products in the Podtatrze area”. The primary data was obtained through a quantitative study using surveys for which the questionnaire was the research tool. The questionnaire was directed to a group of people who was a research sample, who at least once visited the studied region and purchased a culinary product. Conclusions from the study can be a starting point in defining future support areas and individual goals both in the strategic and operational dimension, thus ensuring sustainable and sustainable development of the tourist region.

Values in the business language: New meanings. The analysis based on selected examplesThe topic of this article is the usage in business language of seven particular words describing values or positively evaluated in this language morality, sensitivity, excellence, loyalty, sentiment, execution, aggressive. The major part of the paper is dedicated to adetailed comparative analysis of these new meanings, based on the variety of examples taken from the Polish business language. The meanings of these words, as observed in business language, vary greatly as noted based on five Polish language dictionaries published in the 21st century, used for comparison. In most cases those new meanings of the examined words are not mentioned in the analysed dictionaries. In the final section of the text the author comments on the values discourse in business language operational dimension, utility approach, ambition to measure and control the values, potential influence of value-words as used in business language on the common Polish language as well as the question whether these new meanings should be included in Polish language dictionaries.

Background: Public healthcare organizations are implementing strategic plans modelling with the supposition that the outcome will be enhancing organizational effectiveness, efficiency and delivered superior healthcare services to its clientele. However, in Practices, a good strategy shall be a call for both actions and blueprint for success in responsive to the need it was formulated to address. The aim of this research is to develop implementation success factors model (ISF) for effective strategic plan implementation in public healthcare organization in developing countries.Methods: The research utilized quantitative approach, a survey design and questionnaire was employed to collect data. The study used Gaskin’s CFA/SEM procedure and applies the SPSS 23 AMOS plugins, pattern matrix model builder (PMMB), master validity (MV), model fit measures (MFM) to validate and determine the interrelationships between variables.Results: Reviewing the literature, 20 variables were identified and implementing success factor (ISF) model with two major factors was developed, CSFs for strategic plan formulation and CSFs for strategic plan implementation. This model, in the order of effect, identified CSFs for strategic plan formulation: structural dimension (0.95), content dimension (0.75), operational dimension (0.34) and context dimension (0.23), CSFs for strategic plan implementation: operational dimension (0.70), structural dimension (0.47), contextual dimension (0.46), content (0.37).Conclusions: The research shows that developing implementation success factors model for effective strategic plan implementation in public healthcare organization in developing countries, it will be plausible to consider CSFs for strategic plan formulation and CSFs for strategic plan implementation. Structural equation modelling/CFA has been run to prove the validity of basic CSFs in this research.

This chapter analyses Yaima Pardo’s Offline to explore how the cross-fertilization of documentary and digital conventions can be used to reconstruct web navigation as an immersive experience that offers itself as a pedagogical intervention and critical interrogation of internet infrastructures and practices in Cuba. In Offline, the immersive dimension of nonfictional representation (live action footage, interviews, and database video images), and the operational dimension of digital interfaces (reading emails, clicking links, navigating multiple windows, downloading data, but also witnessing machine errors produced by internet access restrictions or limitations in data transmission capacity) contaminate each other and produce a tense convergence of cinematic conventions and data processes. It is through this tense convergence of national and global database images, functional and dysfunctional interfaces, and the nonfictional remixing of pro-filmic spaces and cyberspaces that Offline comes to represent some polemics and disputes, as well as some contradictory and ambivalent aspects that form part of the internet debate in Cuba. Offline evokes the idea that documentaries can play an important role as cinematic interfaces for the development of digital humanities practices in countries where internet connection and access to digital interfaces cannot be taken for granted.

The article addresses the debated issue of the democratic accountability of Europol and Eurojust. After a short introduction on the discussion in the pre-Lisbon phase, it focuses on the current legislative framework. Through a comparative analysis of the relevant provisions of reg (EU) 2016/794 (concerning Europol) and reg (EU) 2018/1727 (on Eurojust), the article highlights an asymmetry in the intensity of the parliamentary oversight on the two Agencies and a much strong interest of Parliaments in the control on Europol. The reasons of this misalignment are identified in the different nature of the two bodies (police vs. judicial) and the reinforced operational dimension of Europol’s activity, which can have a stronger impact on fundamental rights. The second part of the contribution analyses the experience of the recently established Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group (JPSG) on Europol, identifying some limits to the parliamentary control mechanism, linked, on the one hand, to the legislative framework and, on the other hand, to the rules governing the structure and functioning of the JPSG. Finally, the article notes that relaunching the process of revision of the JPSG’s Rule of procedure is needed to improve the effectiveness of the parliamentary oversight on Europol. Moreover, a more functional framework for the interparliamentary control on Europol could provide substantial and procedural inputs to the implementation of the extremely meagre provisions related to Eurojust’s democratic accountability. Ultimately, it could represent a general model in the discussion about the democratic accountability of the proliferating Justice and Home Affairs agencies.
