The current phase of low interest rates poses major challenges for banks. A continuous decline in the interest result, which is so important for the profitability of banks, has been observed for years, as it is becoming increasingly difficult for banks to generate sufficient income from the interest margin. This is partly due to the European Central Bank’s expansive monetary policy. However, other factors, such as advancing digitization, also play a role here. The structure of the German banking market and the mostly strong focus of German banks on interest-bearing business are also increasingly becoming a problem. Still, the question arises, whether the current phase of low interest rates is actually a serious threat to banks or whether they are complaining at a high level.

The interest concept in former authors (like Herbart, Dewey, Fryer, Strong and others) whose approaches can be considered to be traditional and approaches of contemporary authors to this concept (Savickas, Krapp, Silvia and others) are analyzed in the study. The causes of using the interest concept without the vocational attribute - contrary to the fact that the concept used in this way is related in its meaning to the vocational interest - are clarified. In the conclusion, an attempt at a synthesis in the form of a proposal of a definition taking into consideration both traditional and contemporary approaches to interests research is presented.

Cognitive states are typical of students’ educational activity, which is accompanied by high activity of cognitive processes. Management of this activity is impossible without the knowledge of the structure, function, and mechanisms of actualization of cognitive states in various learning situations. The research relevance of the problem of cognitive states in the context of students’ intellectual activity is due to their unique role in the regulation of the thinking process, maintaining a steady focus on the solution of the problem within a certain period of time. The purpose of this article is to study the structure of the cognitive states that arises in the process of solving intellectual problems (through the example of carrying out R. Amthauer’s intelligence structure test). Leading methods to the study of this problem were tests with standardized questionnaires and retrospective self–reports. According to the results of factor analysis, ten key factors underlying the structure of the typical cognitive state of interest/mental stress have been identified. A system–forming factor of this condition has been emphasized, which is an “attitude” to intellectual activity in the context of the overall semantic orientation of the subject. The obtained results can be of interest to researchers in the field of psychology of emotions as well as to specialists involved in the diagnosis of students’ intellectual abilities.

This paper does not aspire to offer an overall presentation of Prof. Jan Boć’s contribution to the concept of interest, but is intended to point out several views of this author on the design of legal interest in administrative law, including an attempt to assess their validity.Some of these views now require revising, others give them a fresh look. Professor Jan Boć commented on the relationship between public law and private law, made successful attempts to define the relationship. In the area of Professor Jan Boc’s academic interests, there has always been the individual, and therefore the Professor devoted considerable space in his work to the construction of legal interest of the individual, which went beyond the traditional definition describing the conceptof public interest.

The teacher’s skills in conducting the lesson and choice of teaching methods play an essential role in creating students’ interest in biology. The aim of the research was to study the opinion of secondary school students and biology teachers regarding the most successful teaching methods used in biology lessons and viable options to make biology lessons more interesting. The research comprised polling students and biology teachers from several schools, namely: 2 secondary schools in Jelgava, 2 in Riga and 1 in Vecumnieki. The responses revealed that 58% of students find biology lessons interesting. 56% of students indicated that their ability to focus attention during biology lessons depends on the task presented to them. Most of all they prefer watching the teacher’s presentations, listening to their teacher telling about the actual topic as well as performing laboratory work and group-work. Many students like participating in discussions, whereas a far smaller number would do various exercises, individual tasks, fill out worksheets or complete projects. Least of all students wish to work with the textbook. The methods most frequently applied by teachers are as follows: lecture, explanation, demonstration, and discussion. Teachers believe that their students prefer laboratory work and discussions as well as listening to their teacher and watching presentations or films. They also indicate at the necessity to link theory with practice and to involve information technologies. While teaching their subject biology teachers try to establish relationship between theory and real life in order to develop their students’ interest in natural processes.

In the article the issue of the institution of interest capitalization with ban on anatocism has been looked into. Turning to the institution of the capitalization of interest, their legal nature has been outlined, showing therefore the duality of the presented side benefit. Given the following division of interest, the capitalization of equity and default interest have been separately delineated. Concerning the issue of the capitalization of equity, an attempt has been made to clarify the legal basis of charging interest. In addition, it has proven necessary to clarify doubts related to the maturity of the claims in the case of periodic interest capitalization. Whereas in the case of default interest, the legal notion of delay has been outlined, also explaining concerns about Article 481 § 1 of the Civil Code. Furthermore, the issue of its legal nature has been decided by indicating whether it should be classified as ius dispositivum, or perhaps, as ius cogens. Ban on anatocism cannot be discussed without addressing the doubts raised concerning its scope, namely whether it applies exclusively to default interest, or also to equity interest. An essential element in this discussion is to present the essence of derogation from ban on anatocism. Firstly, after the formation of arrears, parties may agree to capitalize the interest. Another exception refers to the concept of long-term loans granted by credit institutions. This formulation requires a thorough explanation: first, of the concept of long-term loans and then, of credit institutions. The third exception nis instituting legal action, in which it is legal proceedings that are the most questionable matter, from which it is possible to enforce the capitalized interest. Given the current legal regulation, it should be noted that it is not sufficient to resolve doubts concerning the normative character of the institution of interest capitalization with ban on anatocism. Such reasoning leads to suggest further proposals de lege ferenda.

Security science in Czech Republic only postulate its scientific terminology. Difficulties in communication within and outside the newly created and evolving multidisciplinary scientific field is also reflected in the development and application of new concepts. Some concepts are already in place and are completely or at least partially understandable. They must be clearly defined and circumscribed. The problem does not lie in misunderstanding of terminology and specialized terminology specifying. The problem is, on the contrary in the vague and inconsistent use of terms most general, which are commonly used while part of a general, non-specialized language. Examples are the concepts of “security”, “interest”, “threat”, “risk”, “conflict” and others. Described unsatisfactory state of interdisciplinary shared a few overarching security terminology has led to the emergence of Czech security terminology.

Moralne potępienie lichwy znajduje swoje odzwierciedlenie w ustawodawstwach niektórych państw Unii Europejskiej. W ramach regulacji prawa prywatnego tych państw możliwe jest wyróżnienie dwóch zasadniczych modeli ustalania maksymalnej wysokości odsetek: modelu francuskiego i modelu niemieckiego. Ponadto w państwach tych obowiązują również regulacje prawa karnego, w świetle których lichwa stanowi przestępstwo. W Polsce, zawarte w Kodeksie cywilnym regulacje dotyczące maksymalnej wysokości odsetek ulegały zmianom na przestrzeni lat. Ostatnią dokonaną zmianą jest dodanie do tego aktu prawnego przepisów bezpośrednio odnoszących się do kwestii ograniczenia wysokości możliwych do zastrzeżenia w umowie odsetek za opóźnienie w spełnieniu świadczenia pieniężnego.

Moral condemnation of usury is reflected in the laws of some countries of the European Union. In the framework of the rules of private law of these countries, it is possible to distinguish two basic models for determining the maximum amount of interest: the French model and the German model. Moreover, in these countries also apply rules of criminal law according to which usury is a crime. In Poland regulations contained in the Civil Code regarding the maximum amount of interest have changed over the years. The last amendment adds to the Civil Code the provisions directly related to the issue of restricting in contract an excessive height of interest for delay in meeting the cash benefit.

Reprezentacja interesów regionu na forum międzynarodowym jest niezwykle ważnym elementem wspierania i przyspieszania rozwoju społeczności lokalnych i regionalnych. Współdziałanie różnych podmiotów, w tym miast oraz innych struktur terytorialnych, przyczynia się do przezwyciężania słabości tkwiących w poszczególnych regionach i wykorzystywania istniejących szans. Niektóre struktury regionalne i transgraniczne radzą sobie dość dobrze i wypracowują skuteczny model reprezentacji wspólnych interesów, inne z kolei mają z tym spore problemy. Celem zasadniczym zaproponowanej analizy jest próba zweryfikowania tezy, iż Związek Miast Bałtyckich (Union of the Baltic Cities, UBC) pozwala skutecznie wspierać interesy regionu bałtyckiego i przyczynia się do przezwyciężania słabości tkwiących w tymże regionie oraz wykorzystywania istniejących szans, dzięki różnym wspólnym działaniom. Warto przypomnieć, że Związek Miast Bałtyckich jest aktywną siecią współpracy ponad 100 miast członkowskich, powstałą w celu rozwijania współpracy i wymiany doświadczeń pomiędzy miastami członkowskimi. Nadrzędnym celem ZMB jest dążenie do demokratycznego, gospodarczego, społecznego, kulturalnego, jak i przyjaznego dla środowiska rozwoju regionu Morza Bałtyckiego. Związek Miast Bałtyckich został powołany do życia na konferencji założycielskiej, która odbyła się w Gdańsku, w dniach 19-20 września 1991 roku, podczas której przedstawiciele 32 miast podpisali deklarację wyrażającą wolę utworzenia organizacji zrzeszającej miasta bałtyckie. Wieloletnia współpraca stanowi zatem doskonałą okazję do próby oceny dokonań tej struktury działającej ponad granicami państw.

Representation of interests of the region in international forums is an extremely important element in supporting and accelerating the development of local and regional communities. The cooperation of various entities, including cities and other territorial structures, contributes to overcoming the weaknesses of the various regions and the use of existing opportunities. Some regional and cross-border structures can cope fairly well and work out an effective model for representation of common interests, while others have big problems. The main goal of the proposed analysis is to verify the thesis that the UBC (Union of the Baltic Cities, UBC) can effectively promote the interests of the Baltic region and contributes to overcoming the weaknesses of the region and using existing opportunities, through various joint actions. It is worth remembering that the UBC is an active cooperation network of over 100 member cities and was founded in order to develop cooperation and exchange of experiences between the member cities. The fundamental UBC goal is to strive for democratic, economic, social, cultural and environmental development of the Baltic Sea region. The UBC has been brought to life at the Founding Conference, held in Gdansk on 19-20 September 1991, during which representatives of 32 cities signed the Declaration expressing a wish to create an organization of Baltic cities. Long-term cooperation of this crossborderly operating structure is therefore an excellent opportunity to try the assessment of its achievements.

Obowiązujący system monetarny jest oparty o pieniądz dłużny. Jego kreatorem są głównie banki komercyjne. System zaciągania długów w instytucjach prywatnych niesie ze sobą niebezpieczeństwo uzależnienia. Państwa zależne od swoich wierzycieli zawsze będą podatne na naciski polityczne. Problem jest tym większy, im bardziej system, w ramach którego pieniądze są pożyczane, wymyka się spod kontroli publicznoprawnej. Istotną rolę odgrywa w nim również poziom moralności obsługujących go ludzi. Wydaje się, że obecny system tworzenia pieniądza publicznego nie jest zadowalający, czego dowodem są powtarzające się cyklicznie kryzysy. Stąd konieczność zmian zarówno na płaszczyźnie instytucji, jak i etyki rynków fi nansowych.

The current monetary system is based on debt money. Its creators are mainly commercial banks. The debt collection system in private institutions carries the risk of addiction. Countries dependent on their creditors will always be susceptible to political pressure. The problem is the greater, the more the system under which money is borrowed, escapes public- law control. An important role is also played by the level of morality of people serving it. It seems that the current system of creating public money is not satisfactory, a evidenced by repeat crises. Hence, there is the necessity of changes both at the level of institutions and the ethics of fi nancial markets.

Purpose. Forms of physical activity people take up depend on sex, place of residence, age, season of the year and many other factors. The aim of the study was to find out what forms of physical activity senior high school students in Wrocław are interested in, and analyze them. It was assumed hypothetically that their interests depend upon sex, age and school the participants attended. In order to verify this hypothesis, the following research questions were posed: 1. Which forms of physical activity are senior high school students in Wrocław interested in? 2. Which of them are girls interested in and which are boys interested in? 3. Which forms of physical activity are students in various grades interested in (grades one, two and three)? 4. Which forms of physical activity are students of one school interested in and do they differ from those of students attending other schools? 5. Do interests in forms of physical activity depend upon age, sex and school? Methods. The study comprised 789 students (486 girls and 303 boys) of grades 1–3 of six senior high schools in Wrocław. The basic research method was a diagnostic survey and the technique was a questionnaire. For the purpose of determining their interests in forms of physical activity, a standardized survey questionnaire was used: ‘Interests in the scope of physical activity’.
