Ocena pozycji konkurencyjnej regionu w wybranych sekcjach PKD na przykładzie województwa małopolskiego
Od czasu utworzenia województw (1999 r.) jednym z głównych zadań stawianych przed władzami samorządowymi tego szczebla było planowanie rozwoju regionalnego w regionie. Władze województwa, mimo, że nie dysponowały dużymi środkami próbowały od samego początku swojego istnienia tworzyć i wdrażać w życie strategie rozwoju. W pierwszych latach brak środków powodował liczne niedostatki związane tak z etapami projektowymi, jak i (a może szczególnie) z realizacją strategii i programów operacyjnych (wojewódzkich). W kolejnych latach identyfikować możemy wzrost zainteresowania planowaniem rozwoju w Polsce wymiarze regionalnym. Kamieniem milowym w praktyce planowania strategicznego województw są lata 2007-2013, w których mamy do czynienia z ogromną zmianą w dostępności środków związanych z prowadzeniem polityki rozwoju gospodarczego, przejawiającą się różnymi programami społeczno-ekonomicznymi. Przyrost środków jest możliwy dzięki polityce Unii Europejskiej (UE). Z punktu widzenia województw na pierwszy plan wysuwają się środki polityki regionalnej UE. Aktualnie, województwa rozpoczęły proces przygotowania planów na następny okres, związany z perspektywą finansową UE 2014-2020. Wkrótce rozpoczną prace nad nowymi programami operacyjnymi. Chociaż kształt nowego budżetu UE nie jest jeszcze znany, wydaje się, że Polska (w tym województwa) nadal będą istotnymi beneficjentami polityki UE. Opierając się na doświadczeniach związanych z aktualnymi regionalnymi programami operacyjnymi, warto zastanowić się nad wprowadzeniem szerszego instrumentarium do analizy gospodarki województwa, komplementarnego do (cały czas rozwijanych) modeli równowagi ogólnej. Zgodnie z tym postulatem wyznaczono cel artykułu. Jest nim określenie pozycji konkurencyjnej województwa małopolskiego, a dokładnie składowych gospodarki województwa w ujęciu sekcji PKD. W artykule zaproponowano użycie do tego celu analizy składników zmiany

THE REHABILITATION FUNCTION OF SPORT IN A PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTEXT
Sporting activity plays an important role in the lives of many people, while at the same time affecting their social functioning. The problem discussed in this paper refers to the psychological context of sporting activity of prisoners, who are people isolated from society and subjected to social rehabilitation. The aim of the analysis presented in this paper is to identify possible relations between sporting activity and personality traits of perpetrators of crimes participating in the rehabilitation process. This problem is socially important as some personality traits may reduce the effectiveness of rehabilitation, while others may contribute to improving the effects of such activities and, at the same time, to positive functioning in the society. An analysis of selected texts relating to the problem revealed that the prisoners who were actively involved in sports had a higher level of emotional stability and extroversion compared to those who did not engage in such activities. Emotional stability is a desirable feature. Although extroversion may be considered a positive trait, it should be approached with caution in the case of prisoners as its high level may, at least in some cases, lead to impulsive or even violent behaviour.
INFLUENCE OF TRAINING ON ANAEROBIC POWER AND CAPACITY OF UPPER AND LOWER LIMBS IN YOUNG GRECO-ROMAN WRESTLERS
The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of training on selected markers of anaerobic capacity of upper and lower limbs in male, Greco-Roman wrestlers from 16 to 19 years of age. The study was conducted four times at one-year intervals on the same group of male competitors (n=12). Every year at the beginning of the second preparatory period all wrestlers performed arm cranking and leg cycling 30 s Wingate tests. The relative peak and mean power of upper limbs were higher in 17-, 18-, and 19-year-old wrestlers compared to 16-year-old ones, but were similar in 17- and 18-year-old athletes. The highest peak and mean power of legs were found in 19-year-old wrestlers. In 18-year-old athletes, the peak power was lower than in 17-year-olds and was similar to 16-year-old wrestlers. The relative mean power in the group of 18-year-old athletes was lower compared to 16- and 17-year-old ones, but it was similar in 17- and 19-year-old wrestlers. Changes in the levels of the relative peak and mean power of upper and lower limb muscles in wrestlers occurred at different periods between the age of 16 and 19. However, it seems that inappropriately chosen training loads may reduce short-term power outputs despite age correct increase in anthropometric parameters. Wrongly applied training did not bring positive effects and could inhibit, for some time, the natural development of power in young wrestlers

The Study of the Relative Efficiency of Selected Commune Offices Located in Nowy Sacz, Limanowa and Gorlice Poviats
The main aim of this paper is to analyze the efficiency level of the local administration units supporting the self-government authorities in gminas. The elaboration objects were 28 gminas from the Nowosądecki, Limanowski and Gorlicki poviats (southern Poland). The analysis was carried out for years 2009 and 2010. The authors used the DEA method (CCR model) for calculating relative efficiency of the selected units
Effect of cover crops on emergence and growth of carrot (Daucus carota L.) in no-plow and traditional tillage
The aim of the experiment was to determine the influence of cover crop biomass incorporated into the soil at different times and using different treatments on carrot emergence and growth. 7 species of cover crops were included in the study: Secale cereale, Avena sativa, Vicia sativa, Sinapis alba, Phacelia tanacetifolia, Fagopyrum esculentum, and Helianthus annuus.
Number of emerged carrot plants significantly depended on the cover crop used and on the method of pre-winter and spring pre-sowing tillage. Carrot emerged best after a rye or oats cover crop. Regardless of the cover crop species used, the largest number of carrots emerged in cultivation on ridges. In other variants of no-plow tillage, number of seedlings was significantly lower and did not differ from that under traditional plow tillage. The highest leaf rosettes were formed by carrot growing after a rye or oats cover crop. The highest rosettes were produced by carrots in the treatments where tillage was limited to the use of a tillage implement in spring and the lowest ones after pre-winter plowing. The effect of tillage on the emergence and height of carrot leaves largely depended on weather conditions in the successive years of the study. The largest number of leaves was found in carrots grown after a buckwheat cover crop and in cultivation without cover crop, while the smallest one after phacelia and white mustard. Carrots produced the largest number of leaves after a sunflower cover crop and the use of a tillage implement in spring, while the number of leaves was lowest when the mustard biomass was incorporated into the soil in spring. The use of cover crops significantly increased the mass of leaves produced by carrot as compared to the cultivation without cover crop. The largest mass of leaves was produced by carrots grown after the phacelia and mustard cover crops. Conventional plow tillage and pre-winter tillage using a stubble cultivator promoted an increase in the mass of carrot leaves
Development integration via real and technological convergence. Experience of Poland and conclusions for Ukraine
Дана стаття є підсумком основних досягнень, втрат і вигід першої декади членства Польщі в ЄС. ЇЇ ціллю є формування пропозицій для Польської економічної політики на найближчі роки, а також й висновків для України, котра
обирає в даний момент стратегію міжнародної економічної співпраці. В першій частині статті представлено емпіричний аналіз реальної і технологічної конвергенції Польщі з розвиненими країнами ЄС. З наведених даних випливає, що починаючи з 1994 року, коли розпочався процес інтеграції Польщі до ЄС, наша країна значно скоротила розрив у доходах і технологічне відставання по відношенню до ЄС. У період фінансової кризи Польща «почувала» себе краще аніж більшість європейських країн. У другій частині статті представлено спробу дати відповідь на питання про сучасні умови розвитку польської економіки. Показано, що економічні успіхи Польщі були зумовлені багатьма факторами: ендогенними і екзогенними, історичними та похідними з нинішніх дій. Однак можна припускати, що інтеграція з ЄС була важливим, позитивним фактором розвитку Польщі за останні 20 років. Велике значення мала також реалізація в Польщі економічних реформ і політика уряду, хоча й вони не були безпомилкові. В останній частині статті ідентифікуються проблеми, які нині стоять перед ЄС та окремими країнами-членами, у тому числі й перед Польщею в перспективі до 2020 року.The paper summarizes main achievements, losses and gains during the first decade of Poland's membership in the EU, while also aiming at development of suggestions for the Polish economic policy in the years to come, as well as draws conclusions for Ukraine, which has now elected the strategy of international economic cooperation. The first part of the paper presents an empirical analysis of Poland's both real and technological convergence with the developed EU countries. These data show that since 1994, as the process of Poland integration with the EU commenced, our country significantly reduced the income and technology gap as compared to the EU. During the financial crisis, Poland 'felt' better than most European countries. In the second part of the paper we attempt to answer the question as to the current conditions of Polish economy development. It is demonstrated that Poland's economic success was due to multiple factors such as endogenous and exogenous, historical and those derived from present events. However, it can be assumed that integration with the EU has been an important positive factor in development of Poland during recent 20 years.
Great importance was also vested in the implementation of economic reforms in Poland
as well as in policy of the government, although not faultless. The last section of the paper identifies problems now faced by the EU and individual member states, including Poland as regards future years till 2020
