Challenges for universities in the face of knowledge-based economy - directions for higher education institutions in the Baltic Sea Region
PublicationThe aim of this paper is to present new challenges that are faced by universities in the knowledge-based economy. There are several phenomena that can presently be observed like the need for life-long learning or interdisciplinary approach, and universities should prepare their graduates for those challenges. One of the crucial questions that universities need to ask is how to teach and what to teach. Knowledge becomes obsolete...

A standard analytical method as the common good and pollution abatement measure
PublicationA standard method can be considered as a common-good “resource,” and the solution to “the commons” problems usually lies in societal self-organization. The multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was applied to model complex phenomena, such as the standard selection for imidacloprid determination. In this process, the standard was self-selected by the analytical chemistry society. The results show that analytical chemistry is a...
