It discusses the principles guiding the setting up of non-state colleges in Poland and their current operating conditions. The Gdańsk Management College serves as an example of the process of establishment and development of a non-state college.

In case of complex systems, for which analytical models either do not exist or are based on too strong assumptions, anticipation is based either on simulation models or mental models. The paper deals with one particular simulation study whose main objective is to form a part of a decision support system for water management. In particular water demand related processes and their links to economy of a small Mediterranean country are studied and simulated. Simulation models axe expressed by system dynamics and implemented by the visual simulation tool PowersimTM.

Both linear and cubic detrendings are considered. Our findings are surprisingly similar to those for DNA sequences which appeared as a mosaic of coding and non-coding patches.
