Large-scale power outages, known as blackouts, pose a significant threat to national energy security and the operational continuity of key infrastructure systems. Current conditions – including geopolitical conflicts, the energy transition, and cyber threats – have increased the likelihood of such events occurring in Poland. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and awareness among Polish citizens regarding the risk of blackouts, as well as their preparedness for such crises. The research problem focused on finding whether Polish society is sufficiently informed and prepared to respond effectively in the event of a large-scale power outage. The working hypothesis assumed that while citizens may be aware of the general threat, their actual preparedness and knowledge of appropriate response measures remain insufficient. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among 125 respondents, analyzing their understanding of blackout risks, perceived threat level, practical readiness, and interest in educational resources. The vast majority of participants reported being aware of the blackout phenomenon and perceived its occurrence in Poland as a realistic possibility. However, their preparatory actions were often selective and inadequate. The findings highlight a pressing need for the development of accessible and practical educational materials. This study provides valuable insights into the current state of public preparedness and can support future educational and systemic planning efforts.

Purpose: The article attempts to identify the competences of health care specialists in the context of the 4.0 revolution based on the learning outcomes of postgraduate studies devoted to new technologies in health care. Design/methodology/approach: An analysis of existing data (desk research) was carried out, focused on the planned learning outcomes in the 4 newest postgraduate fields of study devoted to the implementation of technology in health care facilities. Findings: Universities focus on the development of technological and partly methodological competences, taking little into account social and personal competences, which are equally important for the implementation of medicine 4.0. Some universities design broad programs addressed to various health care specialists, and some universities focus on selected areas of medicine where technology may have the greatest application. Research limitations: The offer of studies combining medicine and technology is still developing, therefore only 4 fields of postgraduate studies were analyzed. Practical implications: The analyzes conducted showed two approaches to teaching technology in medicine, the first one notes the use of technology in various fields of health care, the second one focuses on specific medical specialties. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are discussed. It is also necessary to implement learning outcomes regarding personal or social competences, such as employees' attitudes towards rapid technological changes, motivation to learn and competences regarding interdisciplinary cooperation. Social implications: Implementing changes in study programs will allow for more effective education of health care specialists in the area of new technologies, which is necessary to improve the quality of treatment. Originality/value: The conducted study showed gaps in study programs, which will allow for their improvement and, as a result, increase the quality of teaching in the field of new technologies.

The article explores the integrative role of education and training in NATO’s initiatives on achieving interoperability. The research niche is NATO’s quality assurance procedures in education and training as a mechanism for enhancing interoperability and strengthening defense capabilities. The study aims to assess the current implementation of NATO quality standards in Education and Training Facilities (ETFs) and justify the expediency of the accreditation procedures. The hypothesis is that existing quality assurance practices contribute to both the integration of various ETFs affiliated with NATO into a cohesive education area and the enhancement of the Alliance’s capabilities. The methodology combines a review of relevant scientific literature and NATO regulations with descriptive statistical analysis of data from the NATO Quality Assurance Hub and the Education and Training Opportunities Catalogue. Dialectical, formal-logical, and systemic-structural methods are applied to interpret the findings. The results indicate that NATO Education and Training Facilities and Centres of Excellence are at the forefront of implementing NATO quality standards. These institutions, designed to address the Alliance’s training needs, serve as core drivers of its strategic educational objectives. Rather than enforcing curricular uniformity, NATO’s quality assurance procedures enhance institutional management while upholding academic autonomy. Due to this, military education providers may also seek accreditations aligned with other international or national quality standards. The study concludes that NATO’s quality assurance procedures foster a unified training environment and complement other frameworks on interoperability. These efforts contribute to strengthening the Alliance’s joint capabilities by promoting the integration of partner countries into NATO’s security community.

The article is dedicated to identifying the challenges associated with personnel management in higher education institutions, with a particular focus on issues related to the remuneration system for academic and teaching staff at Ukrainian universities. Historically, salary levels in Ukraine’s education sector have remained relatively low since the Soviet era. The article examines the essence of remuneration and its interpretation within various economic approaches, as well as presenting the primary functions of wages. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the significance of remuneration within the system of restoring the academic and pedagogical potential of universities. The article identifies the main issues and challenges related to current methods and levels of salary formation for academic and teaching staff in higher education institutions. The analysis reveals that salaries in Ukraine’s education sector fail to fulfil their fundamental functions. This situation is a significant reason why talented young professionals often opt to leave the education sector. It underscores the need for reforms in the remuneration system. The study concludes that the issue of salary formation in education pertains both to the methodology and the structure of wages. Emphasis is placed on the method of determining wages in the higher education sector and the current wage levels in Ukraine. The article examines the tariff coefficients and scales applicable to higher education lecturers in Ukraine as of 2023. By comparing the salary levels of academic and teaching staff in national universities with the minimum social wage and average household expenditures, the study concludes that lecturers’ financial liquidity is critically low.

Artykuł poświęcony jest identyfikacji wyzwań związanych z zarządzaniem personelem w instytucjach szkolnictwa wyższego, ze szczególnym naciskiem na problemy dotyczące systemu wynagradzania kadry naukowo-dydaktycznej na ukraińskich uniwersytetach. Historycznie poziom wynagrodzeń w sektorze edukacji w Ukrainie pozostawał na relatywnie niskim poziomie od czasów sowieckich. W artykule rozważana jest istota wynagrodzeń oraz ich interpretacja w kontekście różnych podejść ekonomicznych, przedstawione są także główne funkcje wynagrodzenia. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja znaczenia wynagrodzenia w systemie odtworzenia naukowo-pedagogicznego potencjału uczelni. W artykule zidentyfikowano główne problemy i wyzwania związane z aktualnymi metodami oraz poziomem kształtowania wynagrodzeń pracowników naukowych i pedagogicznych w instytucjach szkolnictwa wyższego. Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że wynagrodzenia w obszarze edukacji w Ukrainie nie spełniają swoich podstawowych funkcji. Taki stan rzeczy stanowi istotny powód, dla którego utalentowani młodzi specjaliści często decydują się na rezygnację z pracy w branży edukacyjnej. Sytuacja ta podkreśla konieczność wprowadzenia reform w systemie wynagrodzeń. Stwierdzono, że problem kształtowania wynagrodzeń w edukacji dotyczy zarówno metodologii, jak i struktury wynagrodzeń. Główny nacisk położono na metodę ustalania wynagrodzeń w sektorze szkolnictwa wyższego oraz na aktualny poziom wynagrodzeń w Ukrainie. Przeanalizowano współczynniki taryfowe oraz siatkę taryfową, które obowiązują dla wykładowców szkół wyższych w Ukrainie od 2023 roku. W wyniku porównania poziomu wynagrodzeń pracowników naukowych i pedagogicznych w krajowych uniwersytetach z minimalnym wynagrodzeniem socjalnym oraz średnimi wydatkami gospodarstw domowych sformułowano wniosek o niskiej płynności finansowej wynagrodzeń wykładowców.

Cel badań i hipotezy/pytania badawcze: Celem jest ocena zdolności systemu ChatGPT 4.0 do naśladowania człowieka prowadzącego konwersację oraz refleksja z przeprowadzonego eksperymentu. Na potrzeby badania sformułowano dwie hipotezy. W pierwszej przyjęto, że ChatGPT 4.0 potrafi skutecznie naśladować człowieka podczas prowadzenia konwersacji na zadany temat. Druga hipoteza dotyczyła wpływu formułowania odpowiedzi przez uczestników eksperymentu na ocenę zdolności ChatGPT 4.0 do przejścia testu Turinga. Metody badawcze: Eksperyment polegał na przeprowadzeniu trzech interaktywnych rozmów i głosowania, w których jednym z rozmówców był ChatGPT, oraz zebraniu refleksji w ankiecie ewaluacyjnej. Wyniki eksperymentu potwierdziły hipotezę, że bot potrafi skutecznie naśladować człowieka. Potwierdzenie należy potraktować jako stwierdzenie dojrzałości technologii generatywnej. Główne wyniki: Na podstawie przeprowadzonego testu Turinga można dojść do konkluzji, że maszyna spełnia normy oszukania człowieka powyżej 30% zgodnie z opracowaną metodą Turinga. O ile dla pierwszego celu eksperyment wykazał pozytywną odpowiedź na hipotezę, czyli ChatGPT potrafi skutecznie naśladować człowieka podczas prowadzenia konwersacji na zadany temat, o tyle sama metoda wydaje się niedostosowana do współczesnych potrzeb. Stanowi bardzo dobrą inspirację dla współczesnych badaczy. Niezależnie od jej twórcy Alana Turinga metoda byłaby stosowana być może w innej formie, co nie zaprzecza inwencji autora, który sformułował zasadę, której idea po 75 latach pozostaje aktualna. Wartością testu Turinga jest przewidzenie potrzeb i możliwości technologii cyfrowych w latach 40. XX wieku, czyli w erze analogowej. Implikacje dla teorii i praktyki: Badanie wykazało dojrzałość modelu językowego oraz było okazją do refleksji nad wykorzystaniem technologii generatywnych w edukacji. Ostrzeżeniem może być zidentyfikowany problem weryfikacji wiedzy podczas egzaminów, o czym dyskutuje się w środowisku akademickim, a co zapewne przyczyni się do szybszej absorpcji rozwiązań generatywnych w edukacji.

Research objectives and hypothesis/research questions: The aim is to assess the ability of the ChatGPT 4.0 system to imitate a human having a conversation and to reflect on the conducted experiment. Two hypotheses were formulated for the purposes of the study. The first assumed that ChatGPT 4.0 can effectively imitate a human while having a conversation on a given topic. The second hypothesis concerned the influence of the participants’ answers on the assessment of ChatGPT 4.0’s ability to pass the Turing test. Research methods: The experiment consisted of conducting three interactive conversations and voting, in which one of the interlocutors was ChatGPT, and collecting reflections in an evaluation survey. The results of the experiment confirmed the hypothesis that the bot can effectively imitate a human. Confirmation should be treated as a statement of the maturity of generative technology. Main results: Based on the conducted Turing test, it can be concluded that the machine meets the standards of deceiving a human by more than 30% in accordance with the developed Turing method. While for the first goal the experiment showed a positive answer to the hypothesis, i.e. ChatGPT can effectively imitate a human during a conversation on a given topic, the method itself seems to be unsuited to contemporary needs. It is a very good inspiration for contemporary researchers. Regardless of its creator, A. Turing, it would probably be used in a different form, which does not deny the inventiveness of the author, who formulated the principle, the idea of which remains relevant after 75 years. The value of the Turing test is to predict the needs and possibilities of digital technologies in the 1940s, i.e. in the analog era. Implications for theory and practice: The study showed the maturity of the language model and was an opportunity to reflect on the use of generative technologies in education. A warning may be the identified problem of knowledge verification during exams, which is being discussed in the academic community, which will probably contribute to the faster absorption of generative solutions in education.

Today, the problem of using artificial intelligence (AI) in education is essential. Recent studies have detected several challenges in using AI for correct assessment, academic integrity, etc. So, the problem of finding positive practices for using AI in education needs to be studied more closely. We perceive ChatGPT as a digital tool for teacher training, which makes it possible to simulate students' problem-solving processes and analyze them critically. It is shown that ChatGPT makes mistakes in solutions, so the generated false answers become an essential training tool in teacher training. It became the base for experimental teaching. The research aims to substantiate the effectiveness of using ChatGPT as a simulation environment to develop pre-service teachers' critical thinking. The statistical analysis of the experiment results proved that ChatGPT is an effective digital tool for developing mathematics and computer science teachers' critical thinking.

Obecnie problem wykorzystania sztucznej inteligencji (AI) w edukacji jest niezwykle istotny. Ostatnie badania wykryły kilka wyzwań związanych z wykorzystaniem sztucznej inteligencji do prawidłowej oceny, uczciwości akademickiej itp. Tak więc problem znalezienia pozytywnych praktyk w zakresie wykorzystania sztucznej inteligencji w edukacji wymaga dokładniejszego zbadania. Postrzegamy ChatGPT jako cyfrowe narzędzie do szkolenia nauczycieli, które umożliwia symulację procesu rozwiązywania problemów przez uczniów i jego krytyczną analizę. Wykazano, że ChatGPT popełnia błędy w rozwiązaniach, więc wygenerowane fałszywe odpowiedzi stają się niezbędnym narzędziem szkoleniowym w szkoleniu nauczycieli. Stało się to podstawą nauczania eksperymentalnego. Badanie ma na celu potwierdzenie skuteczności wykorzystania ChatGPT jako środowiska symulacyjnego do rozwijania krytycznego myślenia nauczycieli. Analiza statystyczna wyników eksperymentu dowiodła, że korzystanie z ChatGPT jest skutecznym narzędziem cyfrowym do rozwijania krytycznego myślenia nauczycieli matematyki i informatyki.

The teaching of automation and control technologies requires laboratories equipped with didactic benches, making the teaching-learning process costly and limited in terms of accessibility. Virtual benches offer an option for face-to-face teaching, democratizing access to education, including in remote locations such as rural areas. The SIMP virtual bench is a free software developed at the Industrial Technical College of Santa Maria (CTISM) in conjunction with the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), being a low-cost and fast-learning option. Through experimentation, it was found that students have a much higher success rate correctly assembling pneumatic circuits when using the software compared to using only the physical bench (76% vs. 24%). The virtual bench, in conjunction with the physical bench through the Digital Twin approach enhances the accessibility and effectiveness of education in pneumatics. This article explores the possibility of applying SIMP as a Digital Twin of a pneumatic didactic bench by replicating its behavior, becoming an appropriate option for the Brazilian educational reality, with the objective of improving teaching and learning in the area of industrial automation in line with the principles of Industry 4.0.

Nauczanie technologii automatyzacji i sterowania wymaga laboratoriów wyposażonych w stanowiska dydaktyczne, co sprawia, że proces nauczania-uczenia się jest kosztowny i ograniczony pod względem dostępności. Wirtualne stanowiska oferują opcję nauczania twarzą w twarz, demokratyzując dostęp do edukacji, w tym w odległych lokalizacjach, takich jak obszary wiejskie. Wirtualne stanowisko SIMP to bezpłatne oprogramowanie opracowane w Industrial Technical College of Santa Maria (CTISM) we współpracy z Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). Stwierdzono eksperymentalnie, że korzystając z oprogramowania, studenci wykazują znacznie wyższy wskaźnik sukcesu w prawidłowym montażu obwodów pneumatycznych, w porównaniu z korzystaniem tylko ze stanowiska fizycznego (76% w porównaniu do 24%). Stanowisko wirtualne, w połączeniu ze stanowiskiem fizycznym poprzez podejście cyfrowego bliźniaka, pozwala na zwiększenie dostępności i skuteczności edukacji w zakresie pneumatyki. W tym artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań możliwości zastosowania SIMP jako cyfrowego bliźniaka pneumatycznego stanowiska dydaktycznego poprzez replikację jego zachowania, stając się odpowiednim podejściem dla brazylijskiej rzeczywistości edukacyjnej, w celu poprawy nauczania i uczenia się w obszarze automatyki przemysłowej zgodnie z zasadami Przemysłu 4.0.

Safety risk management in shipping projects is an extremely important aspect aimed at ensuring the success of the project and the safety of all participants in the maritime transportation process. This paper presents an approach to assessing safety risks that considers multiple factors including equipment condition, external circumstances, and human factors. The risk assessment utilizes the probability of accidents and their consequences, as well as the weighting factors of each factor. The results of the assessment are interpreted using a scale that defines the hazard level. The proposed methodology can effectively identify, analyse and manage safety risks, which can contribute to the success and safety of shipping projects. The study also discusses the importance of dividing the crew into functional groups based on the operations performed, which helps to better identify the safety risk for each group. Safety risk assessment is conducted for each operation individually as well as for the entire project or multiple operations to provide a comprehensive safety assessment. The results of the study have shown the feasibility of the proposed method for assessing the safety risks of shipping projects and its suitability to the initial data “safety” taking into account its separate sides, features, as well as the constituent aspects of the concept, systematization of the ship's safety structure in order to develop solutions to improve integral safety and optimize decision-making in emergency situations. Achievement of the general purpose of shipping safety thus means realization of ways of reduction of influence of the human factor on the number of accidents, and an estimation of the degree of influence of a set of factors on a ship during operation.

Security determines many possibilities for clarifying its positive character, which is associated with the possibility of achieving goals that favour the development of an entity. They express security with values such as: survival, persistence and certainty of existence, homeostatic nature of relations with the environment as maintaining one’s own identity, pursuing common social interests, conflict prevention and protection against threats and development. Security in this approach is emphasized by its properties, which last and develop regardless of the occurrence of threats. In the social structure, the local community is distinguished by ties associated with living in a specific area, arising from the very perspective of related needs and values derived from the local community. In addition, the local community shapes its own universal values, which include the rights and civil rights and freedom expressed in the second chapter of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. From the authors’ point of view, local governments are currently looking for solutions that would allow them to keep young people in the region and, if necessary, educate the local community to an acceptable level. It should be emphasised that the projects carried out by the central government limit the simplicity of activities undertaken by local governments, which feel obliged to ensure security in the region. The aim of the article is to identify and analyse evolving foundations in the context of shaping security, relevant needs and values, as well as educating the local community, which can significantly affect the contemporary local security environment. The presented results of pilot studies constitute a sufficient database to identify and diagnose conditions for the development of local communities with specific educational needs in the region, which may contribute to their staying in the place of residence and taking up studies at a university. The results emphasized the organizational and financial needs, as well as those related to educational disproportions between rural and urban areas, which constitute important safety factors for the local community.

Purpose: The article presents a bibliometric analysis of studies in the artificial intelligence field, with the principal source of scientific articles selected being the academic platform Scopus. Design/methodology/approach: The content of 3365 open access research articles has been taken into consideration from 2019 and 2024 years. The search documents related to “artifical intelligence” “in” “education” issue in title, abstract and keywords. The analysis was performed using the VosWiever program. Findings: The study showed that AI assesses students' skills and requirements using machine learning, and then utilizes the findings of that analysis to develop and disseminate personalized or tailored information that improves learning via increased retention and uptake. AI improves learning for students by providing them with possibilities for experiential or hands-on learning, particularly when paired with other technologies like virtual reality, 3-D, gaming, and simulation. Research limitations/implications: The first limitation of the study is a result of the papers and reviews that were selected that deal with artificial intelligence. Since a broad variety of scientific fields are included in the field of artificial intelligence, findings may vary if publications from other domains are completely taken into account. Consequently, one should use extreme caution when extrapolating the study's conclusions to the vast domain of artificial intelligence. Another limitation is the research timeline (2019-2024); future results may vary since we anticipate that new topics, concepts, and techniques will emerge in the expanding field of artificial intelligence, which will significantly change the outcomes of our study. Finally, since the study's data came from Scopus, it's possible that this research is impacted by some of Scopus's restrictions. Practical implications: The manuscript can be a guide for universities on what students need for AI as well as how to improve the didactic process. Originality/value: Manuscript fills the gap in the analysis of what is the main role of AI in the education area from the student life-cycle and university effectiveness.

Purpose: The article aims to explore final-year undergraduate accounting students' knowledge and awareness of the changing role of accountants in the wake of digitalization. Design/methodology/approach: A survey was conducted among students attending the last semester of specialized undergraduate studies in Poland regarding their state of knowledge and awareness of digitalization-driven change in the role of accountants. The results obtained were further compared with a pilot study conducted among students of master's degree programs. Findings: The survey showed unequivocally that students are aware of the change in the role of accountants in consequence of digitalization, with no distinction between undergraduate and graduate students, full-time or part-time mode. The respondents indicate the need to possess and refine digital competencies. The students are familiar with digitalization tools, although to a very varying degree. They recognize the benefits of and barriers to implementing digitalization. They likewise identify new roles for accountants arising from digitalization. Research limitations/implications: The survey employed the method of selection by convenience, which renders the results obtained non-generalizable to the entire population. Practical implications: The article indicates students' awareness of the changing role of accountants and the need for digital competence in the profession. Originality/value: The article allows to partially fill the research gap in empirical studies on the changing role of accountants as a result of digitalization. It also sets the stage for further empirical research on the challenges in academic accounting education, with a focus on digital transformation.
