Family business entrepreneurs' influence on entrepreneurship education and training : a discussion paper
2009
Entrepreneur education and training are the key concepts for the success and wel-fare of the European societies. In this, the most important actors are the local and national family business entrepreneurs and their enterprises. The challenge for them is to become global and to build international business and social networks with their European counterparts as well as to learn to be motivated in coopera-tion with educational establishments. This study focuses on the online learning program of Global Entrepreneurship developed with the support of family busi-ness entrepreneurs as mentors. The students act as business assistants to the entre-preneurs. The study offers entrepreneurs an excitin…
A Possible Exit Strategy from the ‘Halloumi Affair’: How to Solve Problems with CETA Ratification
2022
Th is article explores the importance of geographical indications within the new trade policy of the European Union, using the example of the CETA and the dispute over Cypriot halloumi cheese. Th e authors point out that geographical indications occupy an important place within the European Commission’s negotiating strategy primarily because of their signifi cance for the EU economy. In negotiations with third countries, such as Canada, a crucial problem is the diff erent approaches to the protection of typical regional products. Th erefore, the Union is trying to transfer its internal solutions to the international level. Th e detail of regulations, combined with the mixed nature of new tr…
A Smart Village as an Opportunity for Development of Borderland Areas of the Czech Republic and Poland
2018
In the conditions of sustainable development, a smart village is supposed to provide an answer to social, economic and environmental challenges which rural areas of Europe are faced with in the 21st century. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze the social developmental potential of villages located in Opole Region. On the basis of questionnaire- based survey research carried out in 2018 among 100 managers of trade agricultural holdings based in Opole Province, the authors undertake to answer the question: Can the existing social capital be the driving force of smart transformation of rural areas in this region? In the study, networks of cooperation which are being formed in the b…
Family and work-related risk factors in children's social–emotional well-being and parent–educator cooperation in flexibly scheduled early childhood …
2023
Non-standard work schedules (NSWS) have become typical, but their associations with childcare arrangements and children's well-being are unknown. This study explores how risk factors are associated with the social–emotional well-being of girls and boys using flexibly scheduled early childhood education and care. Furthermore, the study investigates whether well-functioning cooperation between parents and educators buffers the negative effects of the risk factors. This study, which is a part of a larger survey carried out in three European countries, reports Finnish parents' (N = 146) perspectives. The results showed that high parental stress was associated with low child well-being. Strong p…
Cross-border integration of universities as a possible research topic in border studies
2021
The text deals with the cross-border cooperation of universities as a possible new research topic in border studies. We identified two important associations of universities operating in border areas in the EU core and two associations gathering universities from Czech, Polish and Slovak areas. Then we tried to identify the areas in which these universities cooperate. It turned out that the principal difference is in a significantly higher number of joint study programs. This has probably a link to the high cross-border integration in the EU core. We believe that the topic is promising and deserves much higher attention, as it probably points at new and not really exploited cross-border int…
Assortment, but not knowledge of assortment, affects cooperation and individual success in human groups
2017
The success or failure of human collective action often depends on the cooperation tendencies of individuals in groups, and on the information that individuals have about each other's cooperativeness. However, it is unclear whether these two factors have an interactive effect on cooperation dynamics. Using a decision-making experiment, we confirm that groups comprising individuals with higher cooperation tendencies cooperate at a higher level than groups comprising individuals with low cooperation tendencies. Moreover, assorting individuals with similar cooperation tendency together affected behaviour so that the most cooperative individuals tended to cooperate more and the least cooperativ…
The Social Life of Viruses
2021
Despite their simplicity, viruses exhibit certain types of social interactions. Situations in which a given virus achieves higher fitness in combination with other members of the viral population have been described at the level of transmission, replication, suppression of host immune responses, and host killing, enabling the evolution of viral cooperation. Although cellular coinfection with multiple viral particles is the typical playground for these interactions, cooperation between viruses infecting different cells is also established through cellular and viral-encoded communication systems. In general, the stability of cooperation is compromised by cheater genotypes, as best exemplified…
Is It Easy to Synchronize Our Minds When We Are Forced to Cooperate?
2019
There is increasing scientific interest in elucidating the biological mechanisms underlying cooperative behaviors. Humans have developed a high degree of complexity in their cooperativity, which has been defined as hyper-cooperativity. An interesting biological marker to study how two individuals are emotionally linked when they cooperate is their psychophysiological synchronization (the overlapping of signals as indicators of Autonomous Nervous System activation). Hence, the main aim of this study was to explore participants&rsquo
Samarbeid i hjertestansteam : en kvalitativ studie om intensivsyke- pleieres erfaringer fra samarbeid i hjertestansteam under resuscitering
2014
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Project backround: Several areas in health care have recently seen an increased focus on the importance of cooperation. In its guidelines from 2010, The American Heart Association (AHA) places increased importance on non-technical skills in the training of personnel who perform advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). The Better And Systematic Team Foundation (BEST), have in recent years contributed to a growing focus on cooperation in trauma teams. However, in Norway, there is little research directly linked to the issue of cooperation in Norwegian cardiac arrest teams. Aim:The aim of this study is to gain knowledge about the exper…
Zależności partnerskiej współpracy i poziomu dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw w warunkach globalizacji
2018
W artykule podjęto rozważania na temat zależności między współpracą partnerską a poziomem dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw w warunkach globalizacji. Poziom dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw wzięto pod uwagę jako czynnik determinujący nawiązanie partnerskiej współpracy pomiędzy ogniwami łańcucha dostaw. W konsekwencji podjęto próbę zidentyfikowania korzyści i zagrożeń dla poszczególnych uczestników łańcucha dostaw. Artykuł składa się z pięciu części. Pierwsza część to wprowadzenie. Druga dotyczy dojrzałości łańcucha dostaw, trzecia obejmuje wyjaśnienie znaczenia partnerskiej współpracy, a w czwartej podjęto próbę wskazania przesłanek zaistnienia partnerskiej współpracy w łańcuchu dostaw przez pryzmat d…
