The warmińsko-mazurskie region has one of the highest unemployment rate in European Union countries (27,3%). One of the most important task of local authorities is to limit this phenomena by creating the environment to develop entrepreneurship and particularly by development the SME sector. The conditions of development of SME sector are one of the most important part in local development strategies. The factors of SME development influence the development of whole region. The amplification of local economy has a big impact for the development of local community. In the article the Strategy analysis of warminsko-mazurskie was conducted. The main objective of the analysis was to show the elements of strategy directly connected with the development of SME sector. One of the objective in the strategy was totally commited to this sector. It sounds: "Well developed entrepreneurship". During the analysis it turned out that all instruments of supporting the enteprises should be laid on SME sector, particular those which arise lately.
One of the most important goals of local and regional economic policy is to help entrepreneurs develop in more effective way and encourage residents to start their own business. The purpose for it is a direct linkage between development of entrepreneurship and local and regional development. In this field self-governments belong to main stakeholders and perform their tasks by supporting entrepreneurship. The range of possible policies and programmes that can be undertaken is wide. Self-governments and other institutions that operate in business environment in regions develop their own strategy of actions, decide what instruments should be used, cooperate in order to achieve the best results etc. The necessity of performing tasks in the analyzed field is stressed also by European Union. The EU funds support not only fostering entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs (mainly small and medium – sized, SME) but also the institutions that give such a help to entrepreneurs. The article presents some of the findings of the research conducted in 4 countries that examines the activities of self-government in supporting SME sector. The regions of Belarus, Finland, Latvia and Poland were chosen, in order to examine the strategy of local authorities in the countries representing member states of EU (both so called "old" and "new") as well as a non-member state. The closing remarks include conclusions and advises that are the result of research conducted*.
In the modern world, the Internet representation of an organization has long ceased to be a fashionable trend, but has become a significant form of communication dictated by the requirements of time. The effectively organized work of the Internet representation helps to inform about the results of activities and achievements, to form image, to establish communication and feedback, affordable, prompt service and liaison. In the conditions of information competition, it is especially important for scientific organizations to be present in the Internet space. Conventionally, Websites are considered as the Internet main representation. A relatively new type of the Internet representation are pages in social networks, including those of scientific libraries and research institutes. Despite the common tasks and related functions, they have a number of differences and advantages over each other. It is proposed in the study to consider profiles of scientific organizations and author profiles on scientific platforms (Web of Science, Scopus, ORCID, RSCI, ScienceID, ResearchGate, Google Scholar and others) as a specialized type of the Internet representations. Unlike websites and social networks, they are aimed only at specialists in the scientific field. The purpose of the work is to determine whether the profile of the organization and the author's profile of the scientist is a kind of the Internet representation. The article considers approaches to understanding the Internet representation, types, tasks and criteria characteristic of all types of the Internet representations, the definition of the "Internet representation" has been formulated. Scientific profiles have been analyzed from the viewpoint of their compliance with the tasks and criteria of the Internet representative offices. The role of the scientific library in the formation of the Internet representations of scientific organizations has been determined.
The article discusses the issues of conducting authorship diagnostic studies in order to identify the gender of the anonymous text author. The concept of gender is considered as a conventional social construct, comprising the ideas about culturally conditioned model of masculinity or femininity, which are currently accepted by Russian society. The corpus of more than 1 000 written texts of mainly political discourse, written by people with different gender affiliations, serves as the material that enables to justify the possibility of application quantitative analysis method, based on frequency characteristics of semantically independent words, belonging to lexical-and-grammatical classes of words: pronouns, particles, prepositions, conjunctions and parenthesis. The method under consideration is aimed at identification and analyzing unevident implied signs, which can't be revealed whilst superficial analysis. Frequent, persistent occurrence of these signs in the texts of political discourse enables to regard them as highly informative quantitative characteristics of written speech of the authors belonging to different gender groups. It is stated, the results of application the quantitative model of author's gender identification, represented in the paper, are more reliable if they are used in combination with traditional linguistic model, which presupposes the analysis of linguistic, speech, textual, semantic, psycholinguistic and social characteristics of texts. The article outlines the prospects of speech diagnostics of a person on the basis of gender for the development of author's forensic examination.
This is the second part of meta-analysis on the interrelation between NGOsand democracy in Baltic States. The relation is monitored by integrating the regressiontechnique to find out which factors have contributed most to the developmentof democracy. The assessment by integrating the model of traffic light hasbeen applied to determine the effectiveness of factors and the level of their developmentin the context of democracy. The results of the research show that thirdsector does impact democracy in the Baltic States, secondly that in all three countriesthe ways in which NGOs influence democracy differ, thirdly as well as thelevel of influence towards democracy differs.

Recently, grafting biomolecules onto a Ti surface has attracted more attention due to their direct participation in the osseointegration process around the implant. Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a new proven osteoprotection molecule and is considered to be a promising therapeutic agent in bone diseases, but how to immobilize the protein onto a Ti surface to acquire a long-term effect is poorly defined. In our study, we tried to use chitosan to wrap Sema3A (CS/Sema) and connect to the microarc oxidized Ti surface via silane glutaraldehyde coupling. The microarc oxidization could formulate porous topography on a Ti surface, and the covalently bonded coating was homogeneously covered on the ridges between the pores without significant influence on the original topography. A burst release of Sema3A was observed in the first few days in phosphate-buffered saline and could be maintained for >2 weeks. Coating in phosphate-buffered saline containing lysozyme was similar, but the release rate was much more rapid. The coating did not significantly affect cellular adhesion, viability, or cytoskeleton arrangement, but the osteogenic-related gene expression was dramatically increased and calcium deposition was also abundantly detected. In conclusion, covalent bonding of CS/Sema could strongly improve osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts and might be applied for Ti implant surface biofunctionalization.
