Background: This paper explores how mobile solutions can enhance the efficiency of hospital logistics processes by minimizing redundant tasks related to information recording, retrieval, and error analysis. Methods: The study employed a two-phase research methodology. The first phase involved a literature review and formulation of the research question. The second phase focused on empirical research, including AS-IS process modelling, development of efficiency-enhancing solutions, TO-BE process modelling, and prototype development and testing. The approach is rooted in the principles of Business Process Management (BPM). Results: The process analysis, conducted between late 2023 and early 2024 in a Polish hospital, focused on the internal transportation of cytotoxic drugs. The study resulted in the creation of AS-IS process models (representing current processes), TO-BE models (depicting proposed improvements) and a prototype mobile application designed to support the internal movement of cytotoxic drugs. Conclusions: The findings highlight the potential of mobile digital solutions to enhance the efficiency of internal hospital logistics. The adopted methodology enabled the identification of inefficiencies, specification of functional requirements, and development of a prototype application. Among other features, the solution allows for quick verification of a drug’s location. It is anticipated that the implementation of this solution could reduce delivery disruptions and alleviate staff workload. Further research is recommended to evaluate the solution’s scalability for tracking various types of medical supplies, with attention to existing identification systems and interoperability considerations.

Students attending the lecture on quantum information technology are mostly at the level of completing their master’s theses in the disciplines of AEEiTK or ITT. The task is to write a short essay by each student on the hypothetical addition of a narrowly applicable QIT layer to the actual implementation of the thesis, if possible. In most cases, this is possible because QITs cover a very wide range of potential technical applications. Where this is not possible, or in the case of an undefined thesis topic, students should write a more general essay or write their personal opinion on what they think about the future of QIT. The current article is another part of a series of works on this topic with subsequent student groups.

The advanced Quantum Information Technologies subject for Ph.D. students in Electronics Engineering and ICT consists of three parts. A few review lectures concentrate on topics which may be of interest for the students due to their fields of research done individually in their theses. The lectures indicate the diversity of the QIT field, resting on physics and applied mathematics, but possessing wide application range in quantum computing, communications and metrology. The individual IQT seminars prepared by Ph.D. students are as closely related to their real theses as possible. Important part of the seminar is a discussion among the students. The task was to enrich, possibly with a quantum layer, the current research efforts in ICT. And to imagine, what value such a quantum enrichment adds to the research. The result is sometimes astonishing, especially in such cases when quantum layer may be functionally deeply embedded. The final part was to write a short paragraph to a common paper related to individual quantum layer addition to the own research. The paper presents some results of such experiment and is a continuation of previous papers of the same style.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze and evaluate the remote work of public sector employees during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, taking into account the evaluation of the efficiency of the tasks performed, taking into account the type of position held, the experience of the employees, technical and organizational aspects, the inconvenience of the work and the level of digital competence. Design/methodology/approach: Providing remote work is becoming increasingly common, especially in the context of the Sars-CoV2 pandemic. Both employees and employers recognize the benefits of a flexible work model, as well as several limitations and challenges. The findings of past research on remote work and the study's results indicate the relevance of this research area. This is particularly important concerning the public sector, which is not the subject of as much interest as the private sector. The problem of remote work is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, hence the need for research using various research methods and techniques. Therefore, our research is based on a mixed approach. They took advantage of the literature analysis and legal regulations on remote work in the public sector and applied a diagnostic survey using a survey questionnaire. In turn, statistical methods such as the chi-square test, p-value, and Pearson's coefficient were used for analysis. Findings: The results of our study showed that the evaluation of the effectiveness of remote work by public sector employees varies. In addition, of the seven hypotheses posed, three were positively verified: (1) the effectiveness of remote work depends on organizational conditions; (2) the effectiveness of remote work depends on the support of supervisors; (3) The effectiveness of remote work is related to perceptions of changes in the quality of services during the e pandemic. The results also suggest the need to develop management training programs that consider the role of support and communication with employees in the context of remote work. Research limitations/implications: The study provided valuable information on evaluating remote work in the public sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the study has some limitations. On the one hand, confirmation of three of the seven hypotheses indicates the existence of relationships between the variables studied, but at the same time, highlights the need for further research. The analysis focuses on the public sector, which may not be entirely representative of other sectors, and the focus on employee perceptions may affect the subjectivity of the results obtained. Practical implications: The study's results highlight several critical recommendations for organizations in the public sector. First, there is a need to develop training programs that focus on support and communication in the context of remote work to ensure higher efficiency. Second, there is a need to implement a communication strategy to ensure that information flows effectively when working remotely. In addition, organizations should regularly monitor and analyze employee satisfaction and performance to identify areas for improvement. Finally, analyzing the impact of remote work on the quality of services provided is essential to identify and provide the necessary resources or support in relevant areas. Originality/value: The article addresses the timely and relevant topic of the impact of pandemic on remote work, which represents a research gap. From the literature, the issue has been analyzed in the context of the commercial sector, while limited research exists for the government sector. Our research fills a gap in the literature on remote work in the public sector in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing valuable information on the effectiveness and factors affecting the quality of remote work in this sector.

Quick and unhindered access to information is a feature of social and economic development, and the functioning of the entire state depends on the efficiency and stability of ICT systems. A breakdown in digital security brings with it the risk of citizens’ safety being compromised, the interception of sensitive data, including personal data, invasion of privacy, loss of money and often health. Effective countermeasures require the continuous establishment and development of a cybersecurity system. The purpose of this article is to analyze and assess the scale and type of emerging incidents. It was assumed (research hypothesis) in ICT systems, including those related to the critical infrastructure of the state, there is an increasing number of incidents involving malicious software and events involving illegal collection of information. The study was based on data on incidents coordinated by the GOV CSIRT (Governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team). The information was obtained from the reports of the CSIRT GOV team for the years 2010-2022. The number of reports and actual incidents was analysed on a quarterly and annual basis, as well as their classification in various categories, using primarily the method of scientific observation, document examination, mathematical analysis and inference. Groups of threats were identified that are characterised by a clear increase in the number of incidents in recent years and against which an intensification of preventive measures is required. The results of the study are in line with the trend observed worldwide. The study clearly shows that malware incidents or information-gathering incidents are becoming more frequent in the virtual world.

Szybki i nieskrępowany dostęp do informacji jest atrybutem rozwoju społecznego i gospodarczego, a od sprawności i stabilności systemów teleinformatycznych zależy funkcjonowanie całego państwa. Zachwianie bezpieczeństwa cyfrowego wiąże się z ryzykiem naruszenia bezpieczeństwa obywateli, przejęciem wrażliwych danych, w tym osobowych, naruszenia prywatności, utraty pieniędzy, a nierzadko też zdrowia. Skuteczne przeciwdziałanie wymaga permanentnej budowy i roz- woju systemu cyberbezpieczeństwa. Celem artykułu jest analiza i ocena skali oraz rodzaju pojawiających się incydentów. Założono, (hipoteza badawcza) że w systemach teleinformatycznych, w tym związanych z infrastrukturą krytyczną państwa, coraz częściej dochodzi do incydentów z udziałem złośliwego oprogramowania oraz zdarzeń polegających na nielegalnym pozyskiwaniu informacji. Podstawą badania były dane dotyczące incydentów koordynowanych przez zespół CSIRT GOV (Governmental Computer Security Incident Response Team). Informacje zostały pozyskane z raportów zespołu CSIRT GOV z lat 2010-2022. Analizowano liczbę zgłoszeń i faktycznych incydentów w ujęciu kwartalnym i rocznym oraz ich klasyfikację w różnych kategoriach, wykorzystując przede wszystkim metodę obserwacji naukowej, badania dokumentów, analizy matematycznej oraz wnioskowania. Zidentyfikowano grupy zagrożeń, które cechuje wyraźny wzrost liczby incydentów w ostatnich latach i wobec których wymagana jest intensyfikacja prowadzenia działań zapobiegawczych. Wyniki badania wpisują się w trend obserwowany na całym świecie. Przeprowadzone rozważania wyraźnie pokazują, że w wirtualnym świecie coraz częściej pojawiają się incydenty z grupy złośliwego oprogramowania czy zdarzenia związane z gromadzeniem informacji.

Technologie informacyjno-komunikacyjne (ang. Information and Communication Technologies - ICT) napędzają rozwój gospodarki, co istotne z uwagi na Industry 5.0, zachęcającej do transformacji technologicznej. W sektorze AEC ICT ma główne zastosowanie w BIM i Digital Twin. Analiza naukometryczna wykazała niską wartość procentową polskich publikacji na temat ICT w AEC, co może wynikać ze słabej znajomości pojęcia w branży budowlanej. Więcej artykułów dotyczy BIM w AEC. Wyniki badań wśród polskich przedsiębiorstw wskazują na bardzo niski poziom intensywności cyfrowej w budownictwie, ale jednocześnie najwyższy, wraz z Holandią, wśród krajów Unii Europejskiej w stosowaniu rzeczywistości rozszerzonej i wirtualnej AR/VR. Polskie prawo dopuszcza wymaganie BIM w zamówieniach publicznych, ale nie w sposób obligatoryjny. Trwają prace nad strategią wdrażania BIM. Wśród praktyków zauważono zwiększającą się świadomość BIM. W 2019 roku 20% ankietowanych korzystało z BIM, w 2021 roku 48% wdrożyło BIM lub planuje w ciągu najbliższych 3 lat. W infografice zestawiono syntetycznie dane obrazujące implementację ICT/BIM w polskim przemyśle budowlanym.

Information and Communication Technologies ICT drive the development of the economy, which is important due to Industry 5.0 about encourages technological transformation. In the AEC sector, ICT has main applications in BIM and Digital Twin. Scientometric analysis showed a low percentage of Polish publications on ICT in the AEC, which may be due to the definition being poorly known in the construction industry. More articles cover BIM in AEC. Research results among Polish enterprises indicate a very low level of digital intensity in construction, but at the same time the highest, along with the Netherlands, among European Union countries in the use of augmented and virtual reality AR/VR. Polish law allows BIM to be required in public procurement, but not mandatory. Work on the BIM implementation strategy is ongoing. Increasing awareness of BIM has been noticed among practitioners. In 2019, 20% of respondents used BIM, in 2021 48% implemented BIM or plan to in the next 3 years. The infographic summarizes data illustrating the implementation of ICT/BIM in the Polish construction industry.

The aim of the paper is to show how graduated engineering students in classical ICT view practically the advent of the QIT. The students do their theses in El.Eng. and ICT and were asked how to implement now or in the future the QIT in their current or future work. Most of them have strictly defined research topics and in some cases the realization stage is advanced. Thus, most of the potential QIT application areas are defined and quite narrow. In such a case, the issue to be considered is the incorporation of QIT components and interfaces into the existing ICT infrastructure, software and hardware alike, and propose a solution as a reasonable functional hybrid system. The QIT components or circuits are not standalone in most cases, they should be somehow incorporated into existing environment, with a measurable added value. Not an easy task indeed. We have to excuse the students if the proposed solutions are not ripe enough. The exercise was proposed as an on-purpose publication workshop, related strictly to the fast and fascinating development of the QIT. The paper is a continuation of publishing exercises with previous groups of students participating in QIT lectures.

The article is part of a course on Quantum Information Technologies QIT conducted at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of the Warsaw University of Technology. The subject includes a publishing workshop exercised by engineering students. How do ICT engineers see QIT from their point of view? How can they implement quantum technologies in their future work? M.Sc. students usually have strictly declared topics for their master’s theses. The implementation of some works is at an advanced stage. The potential areas of application of QIT are defined and narrow if they are to intellectually expand the area of the completed theses. This is the idea of incorporating QIT components or interfaces into classic ICT solutions at the software and hardware level. It is possible to propose a solution in the form of a functional hybrid system. QIT systems should be functionally incorporated into the existing ICT environment, generating measurable added value. Such a task is quite demanding, but practice shows that it interests students. Solutions don’t have to be mature or even feasible. They can be dreams of young engineers. The exercise is a publication workshop related to the fast development of QIT. The article is a continuation of publication exercises conducted with previous groups of students participating in QIT lectures.

Exoskeletons of lower extremities are used mainly for gait treatment in physical rehabilitation. However, they are also capable of being involved in other types of exercises. Nevertheless, their structure needs to be adequately adjusted for such applications. To analyse approaches to that, this review paper investigates the mechanical designs of rehabilitation exoskeletons for lower extremities. The study seeks to identify best practices in designing and implementing these devices by analysing fifty-two articles. It covers aspects such as kinematic structures, materials used, types of drives, and the range of exercises. Standard design features include multiple degrees of freedom, primarily at the hip, knee, and ankle joints, and using lightweight materials to enhance mobility and reduce power consumption. The review also discusses the advantages of different driving systems. The findings provide valuable insights for developing effective and safe rehabilitation exoskeletons, contributing to improved patient outcomes in physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings.

A period of pandemics and distance learning has forced teachers to plunge headlong into the technological challenges of education. Today, it is possible to look back on this time as an educational milestone that, although forced, contributed to a much-needed leap into the digital age in higher education. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have contributed to a significant paradigm shift in learning and the roles of teachers and students in education today. ICT tools in the educational process have become indispensable, whether for on-site teaching, an exclusively online system, or a hybrid scheme. Therefore, this study aims to establish how modern technology has enabled a unity of resources in the education process and to identify how the pandemic conditions have affected the logistics process for didactics, particularly related to providing a unity of the right resources in the correct place. Moreover, the authors indicate the benefits of the described changes in the didactic process for teachers and students in the post-pandemic period.

The article is a sort of advanced publication workshop prepared by a group of M.Sc. students in ICT participating in the course on QIT. The idea behind the publishing exercise is to try to link, if possible, individual own work just under realization for the thesis with new unique possibilities offered by the QIT. Each chapter is written by a single author defining concisely her/his research interest in the classical ICT field and trying to find possible correlations with respective abruptly developing branches of the QIT. The chapter texts are somehow moderated by the tutor but are exclusively authored by young researchers. The aim was to present their views on the possible development directions of particular subfields of QIT, if not fully mature, but still based on their own ideas, research and dreams.

Content available BIM Policy in Eastern Europe
EN
The European Union in the Industry 5.0 proposal encourages technological transformation. ICT Information and Communications Technology, which for the AEC industry are BIM and Digital Twin is appreciated, but also innovative and variable over time. Therefore publications like this, which verify the validity of information are important. Global BIM policy analysis can be valuable for stakeholders of the investment process, policymakers, researchers. The authors performed a scientific analysis on an extensive database of articles (over 20,000) as well as national regulations (in non-English languages). BIM mandatory in public investments depicted on the map, also charts showing other indicators. In Eastern Europe has been observed a small scale (22%) of planned BIM requirements. Czech Republic plans BIM mandate on public investments for project above the EU threshold. The Polish road map proposes MacroBIM for risky or complicated, public investments with budget exceeding EUR 10 million since 2025 and for all since 2025. Comparing with other indicators the Czech Republic and Poland have high GDP per capita and percentage of the industrial sector (including construction) in GDP value added. Poland is classified also as a developed market within the global equity indices. This may have an impact on digital transformation, which is a demanding project due to investment costs. Bulgaria did not include a BIM mandate in its digital transformations plan. Due to the Industry 5,0 and the positive results from case studies of countries that have already applied BIM mandatory introducing BIM requirements in public procurements should be motivated and supported.
