“…The shift of costs causes the prices of goods to rise, which has a negative effect on the welfare of society [16]. An indirect consequence of the decrease in social welfare is the deterioration of health and lowering the age of social life [17,18]. That raises the question of whether the purpose of all kinds of instruments aimed at contributing to pro-environmental behavior of enterprises is to maximize their profits, maximize social welfare, or minimize the level of carbon dioxide emissions [19].…”

The ecological and economic context determine the management goals of a modern enterprise, which are in line with the growing concern about the well-being of society caused by the effects of enterprises’ activities that are particularly harmful to the environment. This increases the need to search for new tools that will have the capacity to generate information supporting the decision-making process in the area of enterprise management in terms of ecological, economic, and social goals. For these reasons, synthetic measures of development were constructed on the basis of the set of diagnostic variables describing various aspects of sustainable development in the case. Based on the environmental synthetic indicators, it has been possible to point out the Polish voivodeships, in which enterprises that are particularly harmful to the environment were able to reduce the emissions of dust and gaseous pollutants in the 2005–2019 period. These changes were often accompanied by an increase in the production of energy from renewable sources and increasing the supply of plants with devices to contain gaseous and dust pollutants. Moreover, the comparison of positioning the voivodeships in the rankings according to social, economic, and environmental synthetic measures shows that the reduction of the negative impact of energy-intensive enterprises on the environment has been associated with higher the position of the voivodeship in the ranking connected with the health of its inhabitants. It has been also seen that the largest pool of funds was allocated to the voivodeships that need them the most, as these voivodeships were low in the ranking with respect to the degree of the reduction of dust and gaseous emissions by enterprises that are particularly harmful to the environment. The results for regression analysis indicated at the existence of the inter-temporal relationships between the well-being of society and the environmental–economic effects of enterprises’ activities. It was noticed that increasing the possibilities of financing investments in low-emission development of the region, including the modernization of enterprises in terms of decreasing dust and gaseous pollutant emissions and reducing their energy consumption, has a significant impact on the improvement of well-being of society with a one-year lag. In contrast to other studies that mainly refer to the environmental and economic effects of managing enterprises that are particularly harmful to the environment, this paper focuses on the social aspect of the change in the health of the population connected with the emissions of pollutants. A novel approach based on the set of three multi-criteria synthetic measures is proposed to assess the environmental, economic, and social activities of enterprises in individual voivodeships in Poland in the long 2005–2019 period.

The aim of the article is to determine the degree, direction and strength of impact of the studied variables, i.e. the state budget balance and the current account balance as part of Poland's balance of payments in the years 2009-2018 against the background of selected European Union (EU) countries. The main research questions focus on determining the type of relationships connecting the studied deficits in the light of previous studies dedicated to the twin deficits hypothesis. The methodology used is based on integrated correlation analysis, linear regression and an analysis of the coefficient of variation. As a result of the study, a strong correlation was found between the cumulative values of the studied deficits, which confirms the existence of the twin deficits hypothesis in Poland in the examined period and means that the budget deficit affects the current account balance. A change in the cumulative balance of the budget by 1% leads to a change in the cumulative balance of the current account of the balance of payments by 0.89%. It can be presumed that the problem of budget deficits and the related debt crisis as well as balance of payments balances under the dichotomy of "surplus north" and "deficit south" in the next decade will be one of the most conflicting and disintegrative for the EU. Thus, the search for a path to budget (internal) balance and balance of payments (external) is one of the key challenges for maintaining cohesion and maintaining sustainable development both in Poland and the entire EU.

Animal-train collisions are increasingly serious challenge for modern railways

The problem of wildlife collisions with trains appeared with the invention of the railway. This phenomenon increases with the development of new technologies and ongoing modernization of railway lines, leading to an increase in both speed and train traffic volume. Changes in the construction of rail vehicles and the introduction of new, lightweight rolling stock, sensitive to mechanical shocks, increase costs in the case when it comes to a collision. In the article we present sample data on the scale of the phenomenon. One of the major carriers in Poland –Przewozy Regionalne Ltd. (Regional Railways) – in one year registered 268 cases of animal-train collisions. In turn, the PKP Intercity SA in year 2015 as a result of such collisions incurred repair costs amounting to half a million PLN, while Koleje Wielkopolskie Ltd. (Wielkopolska Railways) in the same year incurred costs associated with collisions of nearly 300,000 PLN. The data obtained from the carriers show, therefore, that in Poland there happen at least a few hundred collisions with large animals per year, and the associated repair costs are slightly counting hundreds of thousands of PLN. Through an analysis of places of collisions it is possible to determine the “black spots”, where it is advisable to introduce preventive measures.
