The research presented in the paper allowed the author not only to fully recognize the correctness of production processes, but also determine the relations between production factors and production volumes (productivity and factor relations). Based on the adopted analytical assumptions and general conditions of farming processes in agriculture, the paper analyzes relations between production factors, i.e., the essence of production techniques. The research on relations between production factors is very complex, thus the paper focuses only on some areas of the issue, such as: labor productivity and its dependency on technical equipment of labor or agrarian structure (approximate land-labor ratio) and the dependency of capital-labor and land-labor ratios on production factors. The analysis is based on the principle of generality and the methodological approach for deduction is used in the paper. The empirical part of the paper uses the dataset for selected EU countries. It was concluded that the ( ) ratio, relatively to ( ) ratio, has a greater impact on the level of labor productivity. These conclusions may be significant for agricultural policy, since improving the agrarian structure does not seem to be a priority, whereas the technical equipment of labor seems to be more important. Thus, it is crucial to increase the involvement of the capital factor. ; Przedstawione w artykule badanie pozwoliło autorowi nie tylko w pełni ocenić prawidłowość procesów produkcyjnych, ale również określić relacje między czynnikami produkcji a wielkością produkcji (produktywność i relacje czynnikowe). Opierając się na przyjętych założeniach analitycznych i ogólnych uwarunkowaniach procesów gospodarowania w rolnictwie, w artykule przeanalizowano relacje między czynnikami produkcji, tj. istotę technik produkcji. Badania relacji między czynnikami produkcji są bardzo złożone, dlatego w artykule skupiono się tylko na wybranych obszarach tej problematyki, takich jak: efektywność pracy i jej zależność od technicznego uzbrojenia pracy czy struktury agrarnej (przybliżony wskaźnik ziemia-praca) oraz zależność wskaźników kapitał-praca i ziemia- -praca od czynników produkcji. Analiza została oparta na zasadzie ogólności, a w artykule zastosowano metodologiczne podejście do dedukcji. W części empirycznej wykorzystano zbiór danych dla wybranych krajów UE. Stwierdzono, że w porównaniu ze wskaźnikiem ( ) wskaźnik ( ) ma większy wpływ na poziom efektywności pracy. Wnioski te mogą mieć istotne znaczenie dla polityki rolnej, gdyż priorytetem nie wydaje się być poprawa struktury agrarnej, lecz techniczne uzbrojenie pracy. Dlatego tak istotne jest zwiększenie zaangażowania zasobów czynnika kapitału.

The insider threat faced by corporations and governments today is a real and significant problem, and one that has become increasingly difficult to combat as the years have progressed. From a technology standpoint, traditional protective measures such as intrusion detection systems are largely inadequate given the nature of the 'insider' and their legitimate access to prized organisational data and assets. As a result, it is necessary to research and develop more sophisticated approaches for the accurate recognition, detection and response to insider threats. One way in which this may be achieved is by understanding the complete picture of why an insider may initiate an attack, and the indicative elements along the attack chain. This includes the use of behavioural and psychological observations about a potential malicious insider in addition to technological monitoring and profiling techniques. In this paper, we propose a framework for modelling the insider-threat problem that goes beyond traditional technological observations and incorporates a more complete view of insider threats, common precursors, and human actions and behaviours. We present a conceptual model for insider threat and a reasoning structure that allows an analyst to make or draw hypotheses regarding a potential insider threat based on measurable states from real-world observations.

The question of the evolutionary stability of team reasoning has been answered in multiple, even opposing ways. We provide a general, conceptual categorization of these existing answers along four dimensions: (1) the unit of selection, (2) the notion of fitness for team reasoners, (3) the stage of decision-making, and (4) the ludic ecology. Beyond affording a better assessment of the different modeling choices underlying the existing results, the categorization highlights important conceptual questions for the evolutionary foundations of team reasoning. We illustrate this by looking in more detail into what should count as fitness for team reasoners.

This article aims to measure the transition from a theological way of classifying to the initiation of political thinking in an aristocratic and well-read bourgeois milieu. The shift is from an essentialist conceptualization of social identities (where qualities of the parts were logically deduced from a postulated natural and divine quality of the whole) to an anxious bewilderment in the face of individual cases which did not fit into the old classifications. The analysis relies mostly on a comparison between two academic competitions (Dijon in 1754 and Berlin in 1780) but checks for possible generalization by using examples from the use of categories by the judiciary and an inquiry into a new literary trend patronized by the salons in the 1770's.

This article is an attempt to interrogate some of the predominant forms of analogical reasoning within current cyber-security discourse, with a view to clarifying their unstated premises, major strengths and, vitally, points of conceptual failure. It seeks to improve dialogue between and across the various epistemic communities involved with cyber-security policy. As we seek to adapt to the new security realities of the information age, it is incumbent upon scholars and strategists to address the benefits of connectivity, in all its dimensions, as much as the threats it presents. Current cyber-security discourse channels us into a winner-takes-all modality that is neither desirable nor necessary in the current strategic reality.
