This paper deals with modelling and evaluating the availability and profit of a linear consecutive 2-out-of-4 system exposed to three consecutive stages of deterioration before failure. The system will pass through three consecutive stages of deterioration: slow, medium and fast before failure. The failure and repair times are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Explicit expressions for the system availability, the probability of a repairman being busy due to the failure of a unit, or due to the replacement of failed units, and the profit function have been derived using a probabilistic approach. The impacts of the failure and repair rate on system availability and profit have been investigated. The results of this paper will enhance system performance and ensure the timely execution of appropriate maintenance and improvement, and thus is a major tool for decision making, planning and optimisation.

Post-Vaticanum Secundum teaching of the Catholic Church emphasizes the role of different forms of social life for integral development of a human person. Communities, beginning with the natural one such as a family to the most complex ones determine quality of social life. Theological basis for the interest of various forms of social life are the truths about: social nature of a human being, common calling to salvation and the model of the Church as a community of people of God. The essential role of enterprises in contemporary economic life and their influence on lives of employees cause that social teaching of the Church has developed certain postulates relating to that specific form of social life. In the ethical reflection on an enterprise present in the Catholic social teaching, there are three clearly-cut planes: enterprises as communities of people, enterprises as a meeting place of capital and work, and important influence of contemporary (particularly international) enterprises on culture, on a family and economy, in a global dimension as well. Anthropological and deeply humanistic concept of an enterprise presented by the Church does not undermine its economic aspects, but puts a human person, a creator of social life in the center.
This article aims at calculating profits in McDonald’s chain fast-food restaurants in the Czech Republic. Using “Burgo” model developed by McDonald’s in order to analyze the division of costs in various fast-food restaurants, we are attempting to examine the validity of one of the main motivations of franchisor for providing a licence - the expectation of increased efficiency of the branch., since part of its restaurants is run by the company itself and part is owned and run by the franchisees and these two groups can be easily compared. The data about the operation of its restaurants, partly owned by company itself and partly by franchisees, was a ground for a comparative analysis which was carried out subsequently. The results of this study verify the assumption, that franchisees are generally able to achieve better efficiency of the operation of the branch than managers in position of casual employees. Furthermore, there was not found any evidence that would indicate that the pressure on lowering the expenses negatively influences the quality of the provided service.

The article presents a modern enterprise within the neoclassical economic theory and refers to shortcomings of this theory as well as its incompatibility with modern economic conditions. The article discusses the problem of business profit and argues that it is not justified to treat the risk maximization as the goal of the enterprise, which is an idea that constitues the basic assumption of neoclassical microeconomic theory. The paper shows a negative role which large international corporations play in the economy when focusing solely on reaping monopoly profits against the interests of society. It notes that the national economy can not function properly for the benefit of society as a whole without regulatory interference by the state. What is also argued is that more and more of enlightened economists agree that it is necessary to re-evaluate the current neo-liberal economic doctrines and to give priority to the development sustainable economically, environmentally, and most of all socially.

W artykule przedstawiono miejsce współczesnego przedsiębiorstwa w neoklasycznej teorii ekonomii. Wskazano na niedoskonałości tej teorii i niedostosowanie jej do współczesnych uwarunkowań gospodarczych. Omówiono problem zysku przedsiębiorstwa i uzasadniono, że nieuzasadnione jest przyjmowanie maksymalizacji zysku jako celu przedsiębiorstwa, co stanowi podstawowe założenie teorii neoklasycznej mikroekonomii. Pokazano negatywną rolę, jaką odgrywają w gospodarce wielkie korporacje międzynarodowe nastawione wyłącznie na czerpanie monopolistycznego zysku, wbrew interesom społeczeństwa. Zwrócono uwagę, że gospodarka narodowa nie może prawidłowo funkcjonować z korzyścią dla całego społeczeństwa bez regulacyjnej ingerencji państwa. Stwierdzono również, że coraz więcej ekonomistów uznaje pogląd, że konieczne jest przewartościowanie obowiązujących obecnie neoliberalnych doktryn ekonomicznych i przyznanie priorytetu rozwojowi zrównoważonemu ekonomicznie, ekologicznie, a przede wszystkim społecznie.
The paper aims at modelling the electricity generator’s expectations about price development in the Latvian day-ahead electricity market. Correlation and sensitivity analysis methods are used to identify the key determinants of electricity price expectations. A neural network approach is employed to model electricity price expectations. The research results demonstrate that electricity price expectations depend on the historical electricity prices. The price a day ago is the key determinant of price expectations and the importance of the lagged prices reduces as the time backwards lengthens. Nine models of electricity price expectations are prepared for different natural seasons and types of the day. The forecast accuracy of models varies from high to low, since errors are 7.02 % to 59.23 %. The forecasting power of models for weekends is reduced; therefore, additional determinants of electricity price expectations should be considered in the models and advanced input selection algorithms should be applied in future research. Electricity price expectations affect the generator’s loss through the production decisions, which are made considering the expected (forecasted) prices. The models allow making the production decision at a sufficient level of accuracy.

The terms of reference for this study were to outline an inability of market principles to satisfy needs with a focus on natural determination of individuals. The author tries to define causes of market failures in satisfying of basic human needs and outlines a way how to overcome the problems stated. In the first part, evidence of elemental dissatisfaction is collected as the ground for improvements, namely an inequality as the highest hurdle on the way to satisfying of needs. The subsequent chapters analyze the role of market, especially in the context of four antagonistic relationships - macro and micro level; inequality and commonness. Chapters deal with the fact that profit maximization principally impedes satisfaction of fundamental human needs. Furthermore, mainstream development policies on macro-level are discussed. On the examples of foreign investments and market integration, the archetypal solutions for boosting economies, it is shown that in a strict economic sense, no investments principally cannot be measure to satisfy of basic human needs in a global scale. The paper indicates that general priorities of human beings are beyond the frame of contemporary economic configuration
In this paper there is a description of one of the possible approaches to investing in the currency market, which is based on the statistical analysis of price movements of major currency pairs. It is the currency pairs EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY which consist of major currencies of the world powers. For the analysis includes no fundamental information such as the rate of unemployment, sales, GDP, inflation, etc., and is thus a purely technical analysis, which is based on the actual price. The proposed investment strategy works with short-term investments, which have an average duration of several hours. The logic used strategy is based on the psychological reaction of investors to the previous trading session and their future expectations. To increase the effectiveness of strategies financial leverage is used. This type of investment requires precise compliance with the rules for risk management. Due to diversification, the proposed strategy is put into more currency pairs and achieves stable growth of capital. Due to the computationally intensive optimization problems genetic algorithms that can effectively deal with this type of task were used. The proposed investment portfolio is applied in the time period January 2010 to January 2012 and has been stable profitably.
Alfred Alexander Konar (1862-1940) created a chronicle of life in Warsaw, all its social strata, especially the middle class as a social group. The concept of bourgeois ideas in his case shall be understood as a certain belief, mentality, style of behavior. Simple virtues of heroism have its justification in what is referred to as mediocrita, which gave the writer a base to build an anti-revolutionary myth of a "good man". Each of Konar’s novel is a variation of the popular modernist novels. It is a complex creation, combine elements of the English “Victorian” novel, the German Biedermeier and the French romance. The weakness of the social diagnosis lays in a narrow range of socio-moral observation, limited to urban and middle class, which, combined with lack of in-depth psychological perspective of these texts, using motifs of romance and didacticism, gives a vision of a world ideologically anachronistic.
