Vessel grounding accidents can potentially cause catastrophic marine accidents with environmental pollution and loss of life and economy. New systems introduced to improve safety of navigation should not be cause them. Today, the ECDIS is the main cartographic system and must therefore be an appropriate aid to support seafarers in building situational awareness with the relevant information needed for safe navigation. This paper describes the development of situational awareness and its features after which the maritime grounding accidents, in the period from 2008 to 2019 are analysed. Due to importance of the ECDIS, only ECDIS related accidents were considered. The aim of this paper was to determine which error ceased the development of good situational awareness and to determine whether there is a certain pattern by which to predict future errors and thus act preventively on them. This study shows at which situation awareness level those errors occurred and which SA demon affected the seafarers to perform an error.

W artykule przedstawiono zmiany w zakresie definiowania oraz pomiaru innowacji i innowacyjności zgodnie z aktualną metodologią zawartą w Podręczniku Oslo Manual. Ukazano poziom innowacyjności przemysłu spożywczego w Polsce na tle sektora przetwórstwa przemysłowego ogółem w latach 2019-2021. Scharakteryzowano zarówno wyniki, jak i nakłady działalności innowacyjnej. Przyjęto, że nakłady określają zdolność firm do tworzenia innowacji, a wyniki pozwalają ocenić efekty działalności innowacyjnej. Dodatkowo odniesiono się do zagadnienia współpracy firm w zakresie działalności innowacyjnej, nawiązując do modelu otwartych innowacji. Analiza wykazała, że zaangażowanie przedsiębiorstw przemysłu spożywczego w działalność innowacyjną nie jest zbyt wysokie, co może stanowić istotne zagrożenie dla dalszego rozwoju tego sektora. W tym kontekście podkreślono, że innowacyjność stanowi dla przedsiębiorstw przemysłu spożywczego w Polsce ważny czynnik rozwoju ekonomicznego i determinantę jego międzynarodowej konkurencyjności.

The article aims to identify barriers related to developing agricultural biogas plants in Poland. The secondary data was supplemented by primary data from a questionnaire conducted among employees of an enterprise whose biogas production is one of the elements of the circular economy. The results of the research revealed that the majority of respondents indicated external, systemic and developmental obstacles. The largest percentage of responses concerned the lack of stable legal regulations in the scope of renewable energy sources, including biogas plants, and the lack of programs financing the construction of agricultural biogas plants. Moreover, the respondents pointed to the proposals that could improve the development of agricultural biogas plants in the future. The respondents considered updating and ensuring the profitability of investments in the situation of significantly higher expenditures, growing costs of business and debt servicing through the reference price as a significant motivator, as well as inclusion in the support system of tariffs guaranteeing a stable income for at least 15 years. Barriers to developing agricultural biogas plants in Poland remain unchanged, and the awareness of the positive impact of agricultural biogas plants on many levels is still very low.

Celem artykułu jest rozpoznanie barier jakie związane są z rozwojem biogazowi rolniczych. Uzupełnienie danych wtórnych stanowiły dane pierwotne pozyskane na podstawie kwestionariusza, przeprowadzonego wśród pracowników przedsiębiorstwa, którego produkcja biogazu jest jednym z elementów gospodarki obiegu zamkniętego. Wyniki badań wskazały, iż respondenci w zdecydowanej większości wskazali na przeszkody zewnętrzne, systemowe i rozwojowe. Największy procentowy udział odpowiedzi dotyczył braku stabilnych przepisów prawa w zakresie odnawialnych źródeł energii, w tym biogazowni oraz braku programów finansujących budowę biogazowni rolniczych. Ponadto, respondenci wskazywali na propozycje, które mogłyby w przyszłości usprawnić rozwój biogazowni rolniczych. Respondenci za bardzo ważny motywator uznali aktualizację i zagwarantowanie opłacalności inwestycji w sytuacji znacznie wyższych nakładów, rosnących kosztów działalności i obsługi zadłużenia poprzez cenę referencyjną, a także uwzględnienie w systemie wsparcia taryf gwarantujących stabilny dochód przez co najmniej 15 lat. Bariery rozwoju biogazowni rolniczych w Polsce pozostają niezmienne, a świadomość pozytywnego oddziaływania biogazowni rolniczych na wielu płaszczyznach wciąż jest bardzo mała.

Promoting the development of low-carbon economy (LCEco) to protect the environment is an important dimension to enhance national competitiveness and an effective path to achieve high-quality national development. Therefore, based on the endogenous LCEco growth theory, from the two dimensions of financial technology innovation (FTI) and financial product innovation (FPI), using the spatial measurement method of SLM and SEM, using the panel data of 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) from 2009 to 2021, this paper deeply explores the impact of FTI and FPI on the development of LCEco. The results show that: FTI and FPI have synergistic effect and positive spatial spillover effect on the LCEco, whose elastic coefficients for them are respectively (–0.125, p < 0.05; –0.084, p < 0.05). Different regions have obvious heterogeneous effects on the FTI, FPI and LCEco, whose elastic coefficients for them are (0.318, p < 0.05; 0.332, p < 0.05). The conclusion not only provides empirical support for the endogenous LCEco growth theory, but also provides effective evidence for the high-quality development path of China’s LCEco.

Driven by national policies and international competitions, China’s winter sports and industry development will enter a new course. How to release the enormous potential skiing demand in China is significant to drive 300 million people to participate in winter sports and promote the development of China’s ice and snow industry, and defining the restrictive factors is a necessary prerequisite to realise the effective transformation of potential demand to actual growth power. Based on the in-depth information, this paper further analyses the influence of environmental factors on the development of winter sports. The research shows that the number of skiers about 20 times is the highest, up to 75.5 %, followed by the number of skiers about five times, up to 67.4 %. Then about ten times accounted for 48.6 %, and finally, about 15 times accounted for 37.6 %. This frequency can fully satisfy skiing enthusiasts to enjoy leisure activities, experience modern life fashion, use skiing to increase social opportunities, delight body and mind, and improve health. Based on the in-depth information, this paper reveals the shortcomings and existing environmental factors of China’s winter sports development. It provides a reference for the rational utilisation and development of ice and snow resources and the scientific and practical development of China’s winter sports.

Celem pracy jest przedstawienie źródeł struktur funkcjonalnych obiektów przedszkolnych w latach 1946-1980 na tle europejskim i polskim. Na przestrzeni lat przedszkola zmieniały się pod wpływem różnych koncepcji pedagogicznych. Funkcjonowały, opierając się na koncepcjach oświatowo-wychowawczych oraz na programach nauczania. Zainteresowanie problematyką wychowania przedszkolnego zdecydowanie zaczyna dominować po zakończeniu II wojny światowej. Powstają liczne programy przestrzenno-funkcjonalne, co powoduje zmianę w podejściu do projektowania obiektów przedszkolnych. W budynkach, które mają wychowywać młode pokolenia, zaczyna dostrzegać się - przede wszystkim w Europie - harmonijną spójność wnętrza z zewnętrznym otoczeniem oraz zagospodarowaniem terenu. Polskie przedszkola na tym tle prezentują się bardzo skromnie, gdyż budowane są najczęściej w tej samej technologii i kolorystyce według typowego projektu, zazwyczaj w przypadkowo dobranej lokalizacji.

The purpose of this paper is to present the sources of functional structures of kindergarten facilities from 1946 to 1980 against the European and Polish background. Over the years, kindergartens changed under the influence of various pedagogical concepts. They functioned based on educational concepts and curricula. Interest in the issues of preschool education definitely begins to dominate after the end of World War II. Numerous spatial-functional programs are created, resulting in a change in the approach to the design of preschool facilities. In buildings that are supposed to educate young generations, one begins to see - especially in Europe - a harmonious coherence of the interior with the external environment and landscaping. Polish kindergartens look very modest against this background, as they are usually built with the same technology and colors according to a typical design usually in a randomly selected location.

The rational planning of land around rail transit stations in cities can effectively improve the convenience of transportation and economic development of cities. This paper briefly introduced the transit-oriented development (TOD) mode of urban planning. We constructed a hierarchical structure for evaluating the quality of land planning of urban rail transit stations through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. The structure started from three large aspects, i.e., traffic volume, regional environmental quality, and regional economic efficiency, and every large aspect was divided into three small aspects. Then, an optimization model was established for land planning of rail transit stations. The land planning scheme was optimized by a genetic algorithm (GA). To enhance the optimization performance of the GA, it was improved by coevolution, i.e., plural populations iterated independently, and every population replaced the poor chromosomes in the other populations with its excellent chromosomes in the previous process. Finally, the Jinzhonghe street station in Hebei District, Tianjin city, was taken as a subject for analysis. The results suggested that the improved GA obtained a set of non-inferior Pareto solutions when solving a multi-objective optimization problem. The distribution of solutions in the set also indicated that any two objectives among traffic volume, environmental quality, and economic efficiency was improved at the cost of the remaining objectives. The land planning schemes optimized by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, the traditional GA, and the improved GA, respectively, were superior than the initial scheme, and the optimized scheme of the improved GA was more in line with the characteristics of the TOD mode than the traditional one and the PSO algorithm, and the fitness value was also higher. In conclusion, the GA can be used to optimize the planning design of land in rail transit areas under the TOD mode, and the optimization performance of the GA can be improved by means of coevolution.

The article describes the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and quarantine on the personality of contemporary adolescents. Due to the relevance of the topic around the world, the work focuses on adolescence, which is the most vulnerable to the changes caused by the pandemic. The features of adolescents, their new psycho-social formations and the specifics of the crises of this period are described. The emphasis has been placed on the significance of the role of communication in adolescence, where the leading tendency is peer communication. The research process was somewhat complicated due to the introduction of such quarantine regulations as distance learning, ban on mass gatherings, and so on. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the impact of quarantine on the personality of adolescents, namely the assessment of state (reactive) anxiety and identifying and assessing communication and organisational aptitudes of an individual (a communication study). Restrictions on social interactions in adolescence, physical activity, and inability to learn offline during quarantine lead to changes in the psycho-emotional state of adolescents, that is increased anxiety, depression, fear, aggression, etc. However, the article reveals both the negative and positive aspects of the impact of quarantine on an individual. In conditions of social isolation, uncertainty of the situation, and the influence of emotional tension, certain interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts can occur leading to changes in the psychological state of an adolescent. Therefore, the implementation of quarantine regulations should entail awareness raising work among the population in order to reduce the impact of managing risk factors. The article describes the features of psychologists’ psycho-correctional work with adolescents, educational and awareness raising work with parents and teachers to help adolescents adapt to the new living conditions in quarantine and distance learning.

Artykuł opisuje wpływ pandemii i kwarantanny Covid-19 na osobowość współczesnego nastolatka. Ze względu na aktualność tematu na całym świecie, publikacja skupia się na okresie dojrzewania, który jest najbardziej narażony na zmiany wywołane pandemią. Opisano cechy nastoletniego dziecka oraz specyfikę kryzysu tego okresu. Nacisk kładzie się na znaczenie komunikacji w okresie dojrzewania, gdy wiodącym trendem jest komunikacja z rówieśnikami. Proces badawczy nieco skomplikowała sytuacja z wprowadzeniem wymogów kwarantanny: nauczanie na odległość, zakaz masowych zgromadzeń i tak dalej. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badania empirycznego wpływu kwarantanny na osobowość nastolatka, a więc ocenę poziomu niepokoju sytuacyjnego (reaktywnego), oraz rozpoznanie i ocenę tendencji komunikacyjnych i organizacyjnych jednostki (badanie sfery komunikacyjnej). Ograniczenia interakcji społecznych w okresie dojrzewania, aktywność fizyczna, niemożność uczenia się offline podczas kwarantanny, prowadzą do zmian stanu psychoemocjonalnego dorastającego (wzrost niepokóju, depresji, strachu, agresji itp.). Artykuł ujawnia jednak zarówno negatywne, jak i pozytywne aspekty wpływu kwarantanny na jednostkę. W warunkach izolacji społecznej, niestabilności sytuacji, pod wpływem napięcia emocjonalnego mogą wystąpić konflikty interpersonalne i intrapersonalne, które prowadzą do zmian stanu psychicznego adolescenta. Dlatego wdrożenie środków kwarantanny wymaga pracy edukacyjnej ze społeczeństwem, w celu zmniejszenia wpływu zarządzanych czynników ryzyka. W artykule opisano cechy pracy psychokorekcyjnej psychologów z młodzieżą, pracy wychowawczej z rodzicami i nauczycielami, mającej na celu przystosowanie młodzieży do nowych warunków życia w kwarantannie i kształceniu na odległość.

In order to help and save the lives of seafarers, the researchers conducted a developmental research to formally create a booklet in e-copy that is a simple, situational, and handy source of knowledge. This study aimed to identify the component of the booklet based on the study of Sarinas et al. [1] in terms of the factors affecting the seafarers’ mental health and strategies they applied to counteract these issues. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model was utilized to develop a booklet. A content validated researcher-made instruments were used to measure the satisfaction of seafarers over the booklet and the acceptability of the experts on the booklet with a reliability index of 0.91 using Cronbach alpha. The content analysis was employed to determine the factors affecting seafarers’ mental health and the strategies to counteract these factors. Meanwhile, frequency, percentage, rank, mean, and standard deviation were used as the statistical tools. Results revealed that, there are 30 factors included in the booklet in the Analysis phase with various situational strategies to combat the factors affecting the mental health of seafarers. Moreover, in the Design phase, there were 10 factors added with corresponding strategies emanated from instructors who were seafarers previously and from experts in mental health. In the Development phase, the booklet made use of the 4 E (Engage, Explore, Explain, and Evaluation) while for the Implementation phase, the e-copy of booklets were given to seafarers as well as the evaluation form for them to assess the booklet and indicate their level of satisfaction. In the Evaluation phase, it shows that seafarers’ level of satisfaction towards the booklet is “Very High” which means that seafarers find the overall appearance and content of the supplemental learning material excellent.

This work focuses on the origin, the history and milestones that led to the conceptualization of sustainable development (SD). Not only is the concept of SD broad, but it is often used interchangeably with the more general (but sometimes also more specific) concept of sustainability. The concept of SD is analysed based on its development and relationships with sustainability and related scientific (theoretical) and practical concepts. The rationale behind this work lies in clarifying the meaning of SD, including the concept of sustainability, and, on the basis of this, identifying the main ways of moving closer towards the aims of SD, including quality of life and wellbeing. The limitations of the concept are identified and summarized, as are the alternatives to SD and sustainability. The rationale behind this work lies not only in the clarifying of the SD concept, but also in the normative evaluation of this concept in relation to the wellbeing and quality of life of the Earth’s population for an infinite time period, while maintaining the supply of ecosystem services which the planet provides, taking into account that these resources are not only a source of people’s wellbeing, but are essential for people’s survival in general. Hence this work includes an in-depth sophisticated consideration of the SD concept based on its historical development, with a focus on the most crucial milestones, as well as normative assessments of the concept resulting from this knowledge.
