The schemes were based on the need to strive for diversification of agricultural production, to identify ways to increase the market value of products, while protecting consumers against inaccurate information on the ways and methods of production. The implementation of schemes has been described in the Polish context and on the example of two measures included in the next financial perspectives. The RDP 2007-2013 has been identified as using financial instruments at a low level. It means that the beneficiaries are not interested in activities related to the quality of agricultural products. In addition, the implementing body (ARR – Agricultural Market Agency) has not taken advantage of all the opportunities for encouraging beneficiaries to switch to quality production. The call for applications within the RDP 2014-2020 suggests a possibility of failure to meet specific indicators at the level of 25.9 thousand, due to the adopted criteria and difficulties in accessing the support.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".

Involvement in rankings changes and in some aspects improves the performance of higher education institutions. Trying to rise their position in the rankings, HEI are seeking ways, how to improve performance in those areas that are measured by the indicators used for rankings of HEI. The purpose of this study is to search for some possible solutions for more effective research work organization at the universities and correct reflection of achieved results to raise their position in university rankings. Research methods used: analysis of scientific publications on university rankings aspects related to different methodologies and indicators; expert survey on university organisation and used ranking indicators. For expert interviews were invited internationally recognized university management representatives and several administrators at universities in different countries. For different aspect evaluations, there was used evaluation scale 1-10, where 1do not agree and 10 – fully agree. Expert evaluations were analysed by descriptive statistics indicators and cross-tabulations. Main results and findings: rankings have significant role in the development of HEI. It is important to define the accessible rankings position in the strategy of HEI. Higher education institutions must determine such goals and results of performance that favour the higher ranking position. For increase of international recognition HEI have to recognise that as well important aspects are the academic and employer reputation surveys in rankings.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".

The present study explores the values of Christians as compared to those of the „religious nones” unchurched or religiously indifferent part of the Latvian society. The content of the term ‘value’ is often overlooked and the actual values of those who identify with religious tradition have remained insufficiently studied in Latvia. The authors use the theory of basic human values developed by Shalom H. Schwartz and the data from a representative survey carried out in 2015 to measure and compare the values of various religious groups. The logistic regression analysis identifies that one’s religious affiliation have a significant impact on the higher order values of conservation and self-transcendence but No effect on one’s openness to changes or self-enhancement. Borrowing from Scott Page’s ideas on diversity, the authors conclude that various religious groups (including nones) within a religiously highly diverse society should inevitably become more similar by various measures including their value-orientations.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".

The countries of Eastern Europe as well as Ukraine began reforming their national pension systems in the 1990s of the twentieth century. In accordance with the current pension legislation in all these countries, multi-tier pension systems are envisaged. The objective of this paper is to introduce the peculiarities of functioning of the national pension systems of Eastern European and Ukrainian countries in the context of global challenges in the demographic and social spheres. The analysis of the literature and comparative analysis of the main parametric indicators in pension system reformation were the research methods used in the paper. Special attention has been paid to determine the priorities for further development of national pension systems.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".

Based on a top-down and a bottom-up approach, the CO2 emissions of tourism transport and its types were estimated, while analysing the relation between the CO2 emissions from tourism transport and the relevant input of the tourism transport as part of GDP and vice versa. The results concerning the period 2010 till 2017 showed that the CO2 emissions caused by tourism transport rose from 996.8 x 103 kg/km to 1527.3 x 103 kg/km. The aviation transport associated with the increased tourism activity is the main cause for the increase of CO2 emissions in Latvia. The connection between the CO2 emissions from tourism and the contribution of tourism transport to GDP is linear. The trend in increase of CO2 emissions in the tourism industry is similar to that of other industries.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".

The research examined the kinds of protein crops used for feed and the self-sufficiency of the crops in the EU. The research examined the area under legumes for seeds, the yields and the protein yields of the crops in Latvia. The research aim is to examine the key characteristics of production of feed legumes in Latvia. To achieve the aim, the following specific research tasks are defined: 1) to examine the characteristics of production of protein feed crops in the EU Member States; 2) to analyse legume production performance indictors in Latvia.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".

This paper presents an alternative way of recycling Styrofoam, by employing larvae of one of the common warehouse pests, the mealworm beetle (Tenebrio molitor L.). The aims of the research were to assess the biometric and enzymatic parameters of T. molitor larvae fed on Styrofoam, and to evaluate their possible use to decompose polystyrene waste. The experiment consisted of maintaining larvae for 10 weeks on nutrient substrates composed of foamed polystyrene (the control substrate was composed of oatmeal flakes). During the experiment, the mass of insects and the mass of ingested substrate were controlled. On the termination of the culture, digestive tracts of larvae from each replication was dissected to determine the enzymatic activity of the digestive system cells. To the biochemical analyses were made using the API® type assays. It has been demonstrated that owing to the enzymatic activity of the larval digestive tract and that of the gut microflora, mealworm larvae were able to digest waste slow to biodegrade, including polystyrene. A solution has been proposed, where providing suiTable conditions it will be possible to use mealworm larvae to utilise polystyrene waste.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".

The research found that consumers are quite sceptical and cynical toward some of the CSR campaigns that they found not to be genuine but rather solely based on profit or covering up social irresponsibility on the behalf of the company. However, when the CSR is embedded at the core of the brand consumers find CSR very compelling and appreciate it greatly, that results in customer loyalty and willingness to share the story about company’s CSR efforts further.","PeriodicalId":123352,"journal":{"name":"20th International Scientific Conference \"Economic Science for Rural Development 2019\".
