Purpose of the study: In this study, the authors analyzed of the use of capital budgeting methods (CBM) by Polish companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The study's main objective was to investigate the practice of capital budgeting in companies operating in Poland and listed on the WSE, especially to analyze the dispersion of capital budgeting methods and the factors influencing their selection. Methodology: For achieve the research objectives, a survey method was chosen. The authors received 34 correctly completed questionnaires (from 252, the return rate was 13.5. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis with the use of Statistica were used in the study. Main Findings: The survey indicated that CBMs are relatively frequently applied in particular; IRR was used (often or always) by 64.7 per cent of companies and NPV by 60.6 per cent of companies. The analysis of company characteristics shows that the use of CBM is influenced by the origin of equity, managerial ownership, employment, and foreign sales (all independent variables are statistically significant). Applications of the study: The authors believe that the study's results will be of interest to researchers in other countries and will fill a gap in the management accounting literature. The study's results may also be useful from a practical point of view. Novelty/Originality of the study: The survey shows a large sample of companies, what CBMs are used by Polish companies and how often they are used. A broader set of explanatory variables was also used, which allows for a comprehensive description of campaign practices and makes it possible to analyze whether and which companies' practices are consistent with previous studies.

Purpose of the study: The aim of the paper was to assess the financial efficiency of Krakow's municipal companies operating in the water supply and sewage, heating, purification and public transport. The analysis was intended to draw conclusions on the profitability, efficiency and financial liquidity of selected municipal enterprises. The assessment was made on the basis of their capital and property structure and indicator analysis. Methodology: To assess the surveyed Companies, four groups of financial indicators were used: liquidity, debt, turnover and profitability. The analysis covered the years 2017-2021 and was of a comparative nature. The results were compared with generally accepted standards, over time and between the Companies. Main findings: The surveyed companies are characterized by the predominance of fixed assets over current assets, which results from the peculiarity of the municipal sector. The level of immobilization of assets in fixed assets ranges from 80 to 93%. Current assets are mostly short-term dues resulting from the supply of products and services and short-term investments securing the financial liquidity of the Companies. The level of indebtedness of the surveyed Companies is within the accepted standards; the highest share of foreign capital in liabilities occurs in the Transport Company – 71%. The surveyed companies are characterized by a relatively constant, rather low productivity of assets, as well as a similar, relatively constant rotation of dues and inventories. Despite the differences in the size of their assets and the generated revenues and profits, Krakow's municipal companies are profitable and mostly have no problems with excessive debt or financial liquidity. Applications of the study: The analysis contained in the paper may be useful for financial managers in municipal companies and for local authorities. Originality/Novelty of the study: The peculiarity of the functioning of municipal companies means that the analysis of their effectiveness is not simple and unambiguous. Due to the goal set for municipal entities – satisfying the needs of residents, assessing their profitability or productivity of fixed assets must be careful. The paper analyzes the current data of four municipal Companies, the results of the analysis may inspire a deeper analysis that would cover a larger group of enterprises and subsequent years of operation.

Purpose of the study: The aim of the paper is to capture the proportion these benefits make in total costs of the company Categories of employee benefits included in accounts of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in the sector of biotechnology is the subject of this paper. Methodology: Systematic literature review and critical analysis of accounts were used for the purpose of this article. Main findings: The analysis demonstrated that employee benefits play a significant part in the operations of companies within biotechnological sector in Poland. Use of relatively high benefits not only offers operational stability, future growth, better staff retention, lower stoppage through loss of personnel, but also better employee engagement and personal development. Applications of the study: The article highlights the importance of employee benefits within the biotechnological sector, which is characterised by deferred income from productionisation of research and its results. This results in better understanding of biotechnological companies’ operational model and its specificity. The results can be applied within other capital investment heavy sectors such as gaming or IT, which also generate high costs and expenditure due to its nature. Originality/Novelty of the study: The analysis of employee benefits presented in consolidated financial accounts has been identified as a very interesting research gap due to its complexity. Research studies of this subject in Poland are limited despite the importance of benefits to all employees. They are equally important to the enterprises wishing to deliver their objectives and strategies. The article calls for further research, analysis, findings and their implementation in various sectors as well as deeper studies of the subject.

Purpose of the study: The article aims to introduce the issues related to the safe integration of manned and unmanned aviation. Methodology: The paper was prepared using the critical literature review method, mainly in the field of safety aviation. The article uses empirical and theoretical approaches based on available source materials. Main findings: In line with global trends, Poland has achieved tremendous growth in the drone market in recent years. The pandemic situation has only accelerated the use of new technologies. The number of professional drone pilots with appropriate licenses is over 25,000 in Poland. Thus, it is necessary to implement solutions for the stable, sustainable and safe development of the BSP market and its applications in various parts of the country. Application of the study: The conclusions are the basis for consideration of the possibilities and conditions for the large-scale introduction of services using unmanned systems into everyday life. The article may inspire further research and inquiry into the new air transport industry and contribute to other interesting scientific studies. Original/Novelty of the study: Autonomous drones are a young aerospace discipline, with little scientific output in Poland yet. The safety of BSP use is just beginning to gain importance in the decision-making process, especially in the commercial market. The examples of threats presented in the article, as well as opportunities for the development of new technologies, show the direction of action and the needs of the aviation market.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this paper is to present sentenced mothers in conditions of penitentiary isolation, according to the polish penal law. Women endure imprisonment much worse than men and have more difficulties adjusting to prison's isolation. Especially those who have children - they are concerned about the future and fate of their children. Polish provisions provide that children can stay in jail before turning 3 in the special "House of the Mother and Child" and let women to take constant and direct child care. Methodology: This paper combines two methods: a comparison of legal documents and legal writers' thoughts and author observation of this phenomenon. Main findings of the study: Putting children in the House of the Mother and Child in prisons is very controversial. It is hard to say if it is the best option to let the children stay with their mothers in prison. On the one hand it has a positive effect on both the development of the child as well as the social rehabilitation of the mother. The mother also learns to fulfill her parental responsibilities. On the other hand, the opponents of the incarceration of mothers with children claim that a child brought up behind bars will have a permanent memory of this experience. Application of the study: The presented research relates to various scientific fields, e.g. criminal law, executive penal law and sociology. Originality/Novelty of the study: This study shows that it is important to reconsider, what matters to the futures of babies and to start a new conversation about situation of mothers in prison. There is still a need to collect and analyse the information by both legal practice and legal theory, because it can lead to new solutions in dealing with this group of convicts.

Purpose of the study: The subject of consideration is the actual actions of clothing brands in pro-environmental areas. The main purpose of the article is to describe the sustainability and pro-environmental behavior of companies selling private label clothing. Methodology: This article was prepared with the use of analyses of LPP S.A. reports, rankings of environmentally conscious brands and other articles. Findings of the study: Sustainable development is influencing the increased use of organic products. By adopting pro-environmental solutions, brands are gaining the support of an increasingly environmentally conscious society, which is pushing companies to use eco-friendly solutions in production, transport and low-impact cultivation. Unfortunately, companies often use the growing trend of sustainability to maximize profits, which leads to creating a phenomenon such as greenwashing. Application of the study: This article presents the behavior of LPP S.A. in the areas of ecological, sustainable development. Using an analysis of the company’s reports and rankings, it can be seen that companies are paying more and more attention to pro-ecological behavior. Originality/Novelty of the study: The concept of sustainability is overlooked in terms of clothing brands that have high environmental impact.
