The aim of this article is to analyse the stability of the banking sector of the Eurozone countries in light of the turbulence in the contemporary global economy. This aim is achieved through the considering current changes and tendencies in the economy, the importance of stability, measures of stability, and empirical analysis of the main indicators of financial stability. The study ends with final conclusions as to the further analysis. The research hypothesis is based on the statement that the banking system of the Eurozone countries, regardless of high risk and turbulence in the global economy, remains stable. Research methodology is based on scholarly literature review, and the empirical analysis used the system of measures and selected indicators adopted by the International Monetary Fund within the scope of the stability analysis of the banking sector of the Eurozone. The originality of the study stems from the time this topic is addressed, due to the highly unfavourable and turbulent situation in the global economy. The added value is the identification of indicators and measures, which demonstrate the tendency for further deterioration (however, the analysis involves indicators that are still acceptable) under the current economic and geopolitical circumstances in the world.

Przed współczesną szkołą wyższą, obok tradycyjnych funkcji, jakimi są kształcenie i działalność naukowo-badawcza, stawiane są nowe wyzwania, których celem jest większe niż dotąd zaangażowanie się w proces rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego m.in. poprzez budowanie wzajemnych relacji z otoczeniem biznesowym. Wprowadzone zmiany w podejściu do uczelni są powiązane z realizacją koncepcji przedsiębiorczego uniwersytetu, zakładającą kształcenie kadry spełniającej oczekiwania rynku pracy w zakresie nie tylko wysokiego poziomu posiadanej wiedzy fachowej, lecz również nabytych umiejętności oraz ukształtowanych postaw przedsiębiorczych. Edukacja w zakresie przedsiębiorczości jest realizowana na różnych poziomach kształcenia i stanowi ona jedno z ważniejszych wyzwań współczesnych systemów edukacyjnych. Poprzez wykorzystanie zróżnicowanych form kształcenia, aktywnych metod nauczania i środków dydaktycznych, zwiększających zaangażowanie studentów na zajęciach, umożliwia ona przede wszystkim kształtowanie przedsiębiorczych kompetencji, umiejętności oraz postaw. W przedsiębiorczym podejściu do procesu uczenia się w coraz większym zakresie uwzględnia się wykorzystanie technologii komunikacyjnych i informacyjnych, wspierających jego realizację...

Alongside performing their traditional functions of educating and conducting research, contemporary universities face a range of new challenges. One of them is to become more involved in the process of social and economic development, which can be achieved by e.g. establishing fruitful relations with the business sector. The changes that address this need are connected with the implementation of the concept of an entrepreneurial university. The aim of such university is to educate future employees able to meet the expectations of the labour market not only in the area of specialised professional knowledge but also in the area of skills, competences, and entrepreneurial attitudes. Entrepreneurship education – offered at its different levels – is one of the most significant challenges of the contemporary education system. Entrepreneurship education shapes entrepreneurial competences, skills and attitudes through various forms of education, activating teaching methods and aids that increase students’ involvement in the teaching and learning process. Communication and information technologies are increasingly used in the entrepreneurial approach to learning to support its implementation.

In the face of dynamic changes brought about by the processes of globalisation and regionalism, and the accompanying scientific and technological progress, growing competition, widely used information and communication technologies, as well as the increasing internationalisation of firms, the approach to entrepreneurship, which affects not only the development of organisations, but also of sectors, countries, regions and even the world economy, is also changing. The problem is also the complexity of processes and connections between economic entities, institutions and societies functioning in different spatial dimensions. The knowledge as well as understanding of all these problems are a challenge for modern economic and entrepreneurial education, conducted at all levels of education.

In today's economy, entrepreneurship is considered an important determinant of economic, technological and social development, therefore education in this area, shaping active attitudes and intentions, especially among young people, is an important challenge facing the entire education system, covering all its stages, going beyond its traditional framework and taking into account the assumptions of the lifelong learning concept...

We współczesnej gospodarce przedsiębiorczość jest uznawana za istotną determinantę rozwoju ekonomicznego, technologicznego i społecznego, dlatego też edukowanie w jej zakresie, wpływające na kształtowanie aktywnych postaw i intencji przede wszystkim wśród młodych osób, jest ważnym wyzwaniem stojącym przed całym systemem edukacji, obejmującym wszystkie jego etapy, wychodzącym poza jego tradycyjne ramy i uwzględniającym założenia koncepcji kształcenia przez całe życie. Budowanie postaw przedsiębiorczych jest ściśle powiązane z rozwijaniem kreatywnego myślenia i zdobywaniem umiejętności dających możliwość wykorzystania szans pojawiających się we współczesnym turbulentnym otoczeniu, które charakteryzuje się występowaniem nagłych, trudnych do przewidzenia zmian.

In April 2021, the genetic and genomic evaluation for the dual-purpose breeds Fleckvieh and Brown Swiss was changed to the single-step method. This paper first gives an overview of the traits used for the genetic evaluation of carcass traits. The differences between the two-step and the new single-step method are explained and various system indicators are presented. Based on this, the effects of the change from the two-step to the single-step method and the resulting challenges are described. Compared to the methods used so far, unbalanced datasets for single-step approaches seem to be a greater challenge, i.e. datasets in which not all characteristics are always collected completely. Finally, necessary further developments in the prototypes of the single-step genomic evaluation and upcoming new developments are presented. The correct inclusion of crossbred animals in a routine application of single-step breeding value estimation still seems to cause problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Germany, the importance of goat cheese and goat-milk products raised continuously during the last years. Therewith increased the number of dairy goat farms and consistent breeding programs for dairy goat production are needed. Less developed breeding structures were a constraint for setting up breeding value estimation for dairy goats so far. In this study, a regional approach is applied to overcome the structural barriers. Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg are planning to cooperate within their breeding programs. They agreed upon a joint breeding objective of high lifetime dairy performance with high milk ingredients and good robustness. For breeding value estimation a total of 54,955 lactations of German Fawn (BDE) and German White (WDE) goats are used. Heritabilities of 0.33 for milk-, 0.39 for fat- and 0.35 for protein-kg as well as 0.48 for fat- und 0.52 for protein-% are within the expected medium to high range. Genetic trend for milk-kg is slightly positive in herdbook animals and slightly negative (BDE) to constant (WDE) in non-herdbook animals. Genetic trends for protein-% are slightly (WDE) to clearly positive (BDE) for all goats. Genetic trends are increasing stronger since 2015 which could be an indicator for selection based on the breeding values. Breeding values are published since 2013. Overall, the regional approach is useful for setting up a breeding value estimation for dairy goats. Nevertheless, a nationwide expansion is still desirable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Optimum Contribution Selection (OCS) facilitates the optimization of breeding progress while simultaneously restricting inbreeding rates. Although the superiority of OCS compared with Truncation Selection has been proven several times, the implementation of OCS in practical breeding programs is still missing. The aim of this study is to identify possible reasons for the missing implementation and to discuss them in terms of the organizational theory. The aspects to be discussed originate from organizational, financial and political issues. Basic requirements for OCS are breeding values and pedigree- or markerinformation. The results of the computations by OCS are specific fielding frequencies for sires and dams of a population. Hereby the geneflow is regulated meanwhile the inbreeding rate is optimized. Practical breeding programs face problems to satisfy the fielding frequencies, especially by increasing natural service. In theoretical simulations, the fielding frequencies are satisfied per se. In practical breeding programs, centralized organization of matings are needed. This will lead to pushbacks by breeders, because selection in the dam path and mating decisions are their key tasks. Financial framework conditions for breeding programs and artificial insemination as well as the legal regulation for subventions impede the implementation of OCS in breeding programs. Especially the framework conditions for government-funded measures in conservation breeding programs are major obstacles. Intercorporate measures like the maintenance of the herdbook or the active participation of members of the conservation breeding program cannot be subsidized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
