Many documents produced by the EU, including the Europe 2020 Strategy, advocate the assumption that the European Union member states will strive to achieve sustainable development, which therefore needs to be measured with comparable parameters. The research objective was to evaluate sustainable growth indicators in Poland against the background of the same indicators in the European Union, and to ‘estimate’ chances to achieve the objectives set in the Europe 2020 Strategy. Two hypotheses were put forward in the study: a large number of indicators analysed by the Main Statistical Office in Poland allows forecasting the achievement of Poland’s objectives adopted in the Strategy; the most difficult to achieve will be the goal of financing research and development. In Poland, not all the changes were beneficial. The EU as a whole has the chance to approximate to the set value of the indicators. Both hypotheses were verified.

Wiele dokumentów opracowanych przez UE, w tym strategia „Europa 2020”, opowiada się za założeniem, że państwa członkowskie Unii Europejskiej będą dążyć do osiągnięcia zrównoważonego rozwoju, który w związku z tym należy mierzyć za pomocą porównywalnych parametrów. Celem badań była ocena wskaźników zrównoważonego wzrostu w Polsce na tle tych samych wskaźników w Unii Europejskiej oraz „oszacowanie” szans na osiągnięcie celów określonych w strategii „Europa 2020”. W badaniu wysunięto dwie hipotezy: duża liczba wskaźników analizowanych przez Główny Urząd Statystyczny w Polsce (GUS) pozwala prognozować realizację celów Polski przyjętych w strategii. Najtrudniejszy do osiągnięcia będzie cel finansowania badań i rozwoju. W Polsce nie wszystkie zmiany były korzystne. UE jako całość ma szansę zbliżyć się do ustalonej wartości wskaźników. Obie hipotezy zostały zweryfikowane.

Poprawa zdolności technologicznych pozwala żyć obywatelom danego kraju prościej i bardziej efektywnie. Głównym celem pracy jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób obecnie podchodzi się do mierzenia zdolności technologicznych kraju. Z uwagi na tematykę niniejszej pracy skoncentrowano się na wskaźnikach dotyczących gospodarki jako całości. Dlatego też w pracy omawiane są wskaźniki poziomu zdolności technologicznych kraju, które stanowią na ogół miary możliwości w zakresie uczenia się i absorpcji wiedzy. Część tych wskaźników na poziomie makro stanowi tak zwane miary pośrednie danego zjawiska, gdyż w sytuacji oceny na przykład jakości kapitału ludz-kiego na poziomie gospodarki występują problemy z uzyskaniem właściwych danych do pomiaru za pomocą wskaźników bezpośrednich. Są to więc miary uproszczone, które mogą nie oddzielać wpływu jednych zmiennych od drugich na kształtowanie się końcowego wyniku i ulegać wpływowi różnych sił zewnętrznych, jak przy wykorzystywaniu produktu narodowego czy produktu krajowego per capita do określenia zmian w poziomie produktywności uczenia się kraju. Niemniej jednak prezentowane wskaźniki w podziale na wyróżnione kategorie, w tym technologię informa-cyjną, należą do często stosowanych mierników poziomu zdolności technologicznych kraju przez uznanych badaczy tej dziedziny.

Improvement of technological capabilities allows citizens of a given country to live easier and more efficiently. The aim of this paper is to present the current approaches to measure country’s technological capabilities. For this reason, this work focused on analysis of indicators for the economy as a whole. Therefore, in this work are discussed indicators determining the level of country’s technological capabilities, which are usually measures of the capacity to learn and absorb knowledge. Some of these indicators at the macro level are indirect measures of a given phenomenon because when estimating for example human capital quality at the level of the economy, there are problems with obtaining relevant data to measure by direct indicators. There are thus the simplified indices that can not separate the impact of some variables from others variables on the final outcome and be influenced by a variety of external forces as in the case of using national product and gross domestic product per capita to determine changes in the level of country’s learning productivity. However, the indicators presented in the division over the studied categories in this work, including information technology, are often applied to evaluate technological capabilities by famous researchers in the field.

The paper presents the results of the research over the measurement of the progress in the realization of the objectives specified in “Europe 2020 - a strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth” in 2016 in comparison with 2010. The analysis availed itself of the statistical data of Eurostat which describes the main indicators of the strategy for all member states of the European Union. The available empirical data allowed for constructing a synthetic measure reflecting the progress in realizing the objectives specified in the Strategy. The analysis of the values that the said measure assumed became a basis for creating a rating of EU member states for two distinct years that were subject to scrutiny. Also, there was specified the variation in the value of the said measure and the changes in the positions occupied by particular states in the mentioned rating. What was also conducted was a cluster analysis, which allowed for dividing the scrutinized countries into groups in case they are described by more than one property. Except for this and as compared to all the previous works on the subject, the method of the construction of the synthetic measure was considerably sharpened.

This paper discusses the status of indicators concerning research funding and expenditures and proposes some pathways for further developments. Firstly, the author discusses in depth the design of the R&D statistics based on the Frascati Manual and its limitations concerning analytical categories, data availability and quality. Further he argues that, to answer to specific policy questions concerning the allocation of funds, the development of a new generation of indicators is needed - so-called positioning indicators -focusing on the analysis of financial fluxes between research funders, intermediaries and performers, and presents some recent results of comparative European work in this direction. Finally, he draws some general methodological lessons on the nature of these indicators and on the procedure for their production, discussing key aspects like reproducibility, quality validation, simplicity, contingency and transparency.

Artykuł zawiera analizę wskaźników dotyczących procesu finansowania badań naukowych i wydatków na te badania oraz propozycję usprawnienia tych wskaźników. Autor rozpoczyna od pogłębionego omówienia konstrukcji danych statystycznych dotyczących prac B+R opartych na Podręczniku Frascati oraz ich ograniczeń związanych z kategoriami analitycznymi, dostępnością danych oraz ich jakością. Następnie dowodzi, iż po to, aby odpowiedzieć na konkretne pytania z zakresu polityki naukowej, dotyczące przydziału funduszy, konieczne jest opracowanie nowej generacji wskaźników, tzw. wskaźników względnej pozycji (positioning indicators), skupiających się na analizie przepływów finansowych między podmiotami finansującymi badania, pośrednikami i ich wykonawcami. Przedstawia też niektóre nowsze wyniki badań porównawczych prowadzonych w Europie w tej dziedzinie. Na końcu formułuje ogólne wnioski metodologiczne dotyczące charakteru owych wskaźników i procedury ich tworzenia, wskazując na ich najważniejsze aspekty, takie jak powtarzalność, możliwość weryfikowania ich jakości, prostotę, warunkowy charakter i przejrzystość.

Theoretical background: The need for national industrial revival requires the assessment process of the financial and investment components of industrial potential, since such process allows for the development of a further strategy of industrial development of the country, taking into account the available opportunities as well as implementing effective government controls aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the national economy.Purpose of the article: The development of a methodological foundation for a complex economic assessment of financial and investment components of industrial potential.Research methods: A comparative analysis was used to study methodological approaches to the economic assessment of potential, laying the groundwork for conceptual foundations of a comprehensive economic evaluation of the financial and investment components. The types of analysis used were: a system analysis – to set the system of assessment indices and indicators of financial and investment components of industrial potential; an integral assessment analysis – to determine the integral levels of the potential development for certain types of industrial activity based on standardisation of indicators reflecting the development of financial and investment components; a statistical analysis – to identify changes in the development level of the financial and investment components of potential for certain types of industrial activity; and an abstract-logical analysis to draw conclusions and formulate theoretical generalisation of the obtained results.Main findings: Our research collected the experiences of former scientists and developed methodological bases in order to study industrial potential as a complex economic category, the development of which is conditioned by the development level of its financial and investment components. The authors’ approach to a comprehensive economic assessment of the financial and investment components of industrial potential is based on the identification of both input and output indicators. Such allocations allowed the determining of the reproductive potential of the financial and investment components as a potential opportunity to attract relevant resources, as well as implemented potential, which characterises the effectiveness of their use (the opportunity used). Next, the input indicators were further split into general indicators – which are characterised by quantitative parameters of the scope of the resources, and reflect the involvement scale – and partial indicators, which reflect the qualitative resources characteristics. The proposed integrated indicators of the development levels of financial and investment components have a complex hierarchical structure. For example, the first level generates a set of indicators that provide for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the development state, the second level determines the integral indices in terms of individual types of indicators, while the third level is based on the potential type (reproductive and implemented). A modified Harrington’s scale was proposed to draw a conclusion on the development level achieved for the financial and investment components of industrial potential. Research was conducted using the methodology proposed, on the development levels of financial and investment components of potential for various types of industrial activity. The results showed the existence of a high level of both reproductive and implemented potential in the production of computers, electronics and optical devices, and basic pharmaceutical products, which demonstrates the technological progress in the structural industrial potential transformation. The proposed methodological approach will allow for the definition of a “critical area” in the financial and investment components development necessary for the adoption of appropriate management decisions with regard to adjusting industrial potential development strategies.

In modern scientific-educational surroundings the effective educational technologies are inseparable from open educational resources, electronic learning devices and distance learning technologies. One of such forms of education is distance learning, in which the transfer of information is carried out remotely by technical means of communication. The problem of implementation of the distance learning is thoroughly described in foreign and Ukrainian didactic literature (articles, thesis researches, monographs, etc.), but the problem of individual approach to distance learning is not presented. The goal of this research is to analyze the tactical ways of implementing individual learning approach to distance course in higher education. The author uses theoretical methods of research (such as analysis and comparison) and empirical ones (such as observation). The article reveals the essence of the concept of "distance education", "distance learning", "individual approach to students’ learning". It is also determined the basis of distance learning, established its advantages and disadvantages. The special attention is paid to individual selection of didactic material of the distance course according to the abilities of the student’s personality. The basic factors of design and development of didactic materials are described; the concept of individual personality traits is suggested that form a subsystem of intellectual sphere and subsystem of interpersonal relationships. An important advantage of this approach is psychological safety and comfort of the learning environment (prevention of complexes, fears, helplessness, etc.) that becomes another factor of studying optimization. The mentioned above approach to distance course as a result promotes the development of the individual personality, which can be called a “student-centered learning”. The article’s material makes it possible to take into account the individual learning approach to distance studying, which will promote the high quality of learning, and become the basis for self-improvement and cognitive development of the individual.

The article examines the ways of three Baltic States development in the context of European integration. It considers some aspects of economy, especially the development and utilization of opportunities of the European market. It also estimates the prospects of foreign direct investment uses and the creation of the most favored environment for business development. It marks the difference in economic management principles, which enabled Estonia to lead the three Baltic countries, and Lithuania to rank second. Insufficient activity of Latvia in the development of those industries that are able to create a product with high added value is noted. The conclusion is drawn that, overall, the prospects for further development of the three Baltic countries are related to ensuring the high quality and productivity, ensuring competitiveness of production and productive transformation of the limited manpower resources.

The article examines the effects of influence of demographic policy on the formation and development of human resources in Latvia. The objective of the article aims to determine “weak points” of population system’s policy and develop the conceptual proposals that will resolve existing disputes. The main indicators characterizing a demographic situation in Latvia are analysed. The results of the analysis indicate the existence of deep demographic crisis in Latvia. Without taking effective measures to improve the demographic situation, the population of Latvia will decrease dramatically. In the conclusion, the proposals on the increasing the effectiveness of the system of demographic policy in Latvia were put forward.

At the moment, demographic trends indicate that rural populations are migrating to cities; as a result, rural areas are undergoing depopulation. To halt this downward trend, it is critical to create good prospects for the rural environment and population; one option is to focus on rural tourism and agritourism. However, the absence of an intervention strategy in the agricultural sector creates uncertainty and even existential problems for many farmers. The article focuses on the Nitra (NR) and Košice (KE) regions of Slovakia (SR), which are characterised by highly fertile land enabling the development of agriculture, especially the production of organic food, regional tourism, and agritourism. The author proposes connecting agricultural production with rural tourism. Both regions are well-known for their winemaking and grape cultivation. Unfortunately, their fertile land is being destroyed to build industrial parks. As a result, their natural resources are not being utilised for the intended purpose. The study described in the article is based on a comparison of economic indicators, such as GDP and the unemployment rate in agriculture. The two regions supply a significant percentage of products manufactured in Slovakia. Additionally, the development of rural tourism and agritourism could support agriculture and forestry, protect the environment and create and retain jobs in the Slovak countryside.

Globalisation – characterised by dynamic economic growth, increasing exploitation of the natural environment, and deepening social inequalities – brings negative consequences and is strongly perceptible also in local communities. A new approach to development policy based on the idea of sustainable development must be incorporated into local governments’ strategies, programmes, and actions. We adopted exploratory approach to determine the level and identify the spatial patterns of sustainable development of Polish poviats. The aggregated (synthetic) indicators of economic, social, and environmental development were developed to analyse the spatial patterns of the poviats’ development trends. Our research shows that in Poland there are overwhelmingly more poviats characterised by lower development than those better developed in all three analysed categories. Hierarchical analysis using the Ward’s method revealed that Polish poviats can be divided into three relatively homogeneous clusters in terms of development levels. The largest group consists of poviats characterised by the relatively lowest level of sustainability in economic and social areas, and the highest – by environmental development. Analyses using the Moran method made it possible to determine the so-called spatial regimes of clusters. The captured spatial relationships indicate that selected poviats have a significant impact on the level of development in the neighbouring poviats.

Among the main principles of implementing pedagogical conditions of formation of personal and professional skills of the future music teachers at the vocal training ckasses in higher school we singled out the following: the principle of physical self-improvement of students; the principle of social and civic orientation of professional activities of students of Art departments; the principle of improving performance skills during concerts and theatrical activities; the principle of cultural and aesthetic approach to training. The next step of our research is oriented at the study of criteria and levels of personal and professional development of future music teachers in the process of vocal studies at the university. Problems of professional and personal development of teachers of artistic disciplines have been revealed in the works of V. Orlov, A. Pietielin, Yu. Sverliuk et al . Despite the theoretical results obtained in these studies remains unexplored in theoretical terms, and at the same time, exacerbates the practical need for solving the problem of formation of personal and professional qualities of the future teacher of vocal music in the process of teaching. The purpose of the article isto outline and substantiate the criteria and levels of formation of personal and professional qualitiesofthefutureteachersofmusicinvocaltraining. The article considers the properties inherent in the student’s age, which influence the development of the conditions for the formation of personal and professional qualities of the future specialist. In view of these features, three groups of criteria have been singled out (criteria reflecting changes in the physical state of students which are directly related to the quality of singing, criteria reflecting the students’ conscious desire to participate in sponsorship and charitable activities, criteria reflecting activity in training and participation in festivals and professional competitions), and determined the levels of becoming of personal-professionalqualities. Continuing formation after Stanislavsky exploring the field of actoe’s perception, in which to the paramount importance belongs to consistency, balance of internal and external manifestations of mood, defined in this study as congruence, M. Chekhov draws attention to the so-called “sixth sense of the actor”– a sense of partner, which he defines as “the ability to be ready ... to open” towards his/her partners. The quality of congruence indicates how sincere is the person in the expression of his/her emotions, how the ability of displaying affection is developed. To identifying the components of congruence, important were data received as a result of peer review methodology of nonverbal communication of A. Kuznetsova.

Założenia koncepcji trwałego i zrównoważonego rozwoju są wdrażane do różnych działów gospodarki, w tym do leśnictwa. Celem zrównoważonej gospodarki leśnej jest utrzymanie żywotności i potencjału produkcyjnego lasów w długim czasie, zachowanie ich bioróżnorodności oraz wszystkich funkcji pełnionych przez lasy, tj. : gospodarczych, ekologicznych i społecznych. Jednak konieczne jest monitowanie, czy przyjęte cele są osiągane, a zasady – przestrzegane. W związku z tym, stosuje się różne metody oceny zrównoważenia, najczęściej zestawy mierników. Celem artykułu jest analiza wybranych, powszechnie stosowanych systemów wskaźników oraz próba oceny stopnia zrównoważenia polskiego leśnictwa i zmian zachodzących w gospodarce leśnej.

The principles of sustainable development are implemented in many sectors of the economy, including forestry. The main aim of sustainable forest management (SFM) is to preserve the vitality of forests and their productive potential in the long term, maintain their biodiversity and all the functions: ecological, economic, and social ones. It is crucial to the process of sustainability that the assumed goals are achieved and that the principles are respected. In SFM, various methods of assessment are used, usually based on a system of indicators. The aim of the paper is to analyse selected, commonly used indicators and to estimate the level of sustainability in the Polish forestry and its changes in time.

Based on the analysis of the scientific literature the author reveals the essence of monitoring the quality of education, the functions of education quality monitoring, the principles for monitoring structures; clarifies the distinction between monitoring and control. It is found that the objects of monitoring can be as separate sub-systems of education, and the various aspects and processes occurring in these systems. It should be noted that monitoring generates information system, which is constantly updated and indicates the continuity of monitoring includes measurement technology of the existing state of the object. It is noted that monitoring is very similar to the control, but monitoring requires compliance with the maximum objectivity and reliability of the information obtained, therefore, is carried out by special technology independent (external) researchers, in contrast to the control. It is determined that the monitoring study in the sphere of education is held for the purpose, depending on the object of assessment, the level of study and level of generalization of the results. The main objects of monitoring in education are clarified. The advantages of external monitoring of the quality of education and internal are detected. They are manifested in the quality and status of the information received. External monitoring provides: standard information; high accuracy and reliability of information; the basis of the state and departmental statistical reporting; information basis for analysis and for the formulation of educational policy at all levels; the possibility of generalization and comparison at any level of educational management; the predictability of conclusions and recommendations; recognition of the results at the state and interstate levels; transparency of the results of educational activity; openness of the education system of the country in which created a national system for monitoring performance of the education sector. External evaluation is carried out by the independent experts (foreign, third parties or instrumentalities that are not interested in the results).

This paper discusses the experiences resulting from EU’s adoption and implementation of a wide variety of policy measures in response to the COVID-19 crisis. These measures included stimulating the relocation and expansion of manufacturing to reduce vulnerability, depending on imports, ensuring the stability and development of industrial production. Using the example of the pharmaceutical industry in EU27 in the years 1995–2018, the study proposes and tests a new approach to assessing the consequences of relocation policies aimed at developing the local production potential, increasing the value added by activity, and expanding the share of local value added in industry exports. Specifically, the focus is on the formation of statistical analysis tools for assessing the changes of the specialisation and identifying the country's comparative advantages. The authors propose new indicators: RSP – coefficient of Revealed Specialisation of Production, CAVA – coefficient of Comparative Advantage in Value Added by Activity and EVA – coefficient of Comparative Advantages in the Domestic Value Added Exports. Additionally, formulas for their calculation are provided which allow the assessment of the position of Ukraine’s industries among a reference group, widening the ‘revealed comparative advantage’ concept. Finally, a test of the new methodology showed that it can be used to identify the comparative advantages of EU member states supported by state assistance programmes involving the implementation of business projects which aim to develop domestic production.
