Purpose: This study aims to determine the employment opportunities of neurodiverse people, related to the assessment of the suitability of their skills and the adaptation of working conditions to their needs by the managers in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: We evaluated the above-mentioned employment opportunities on the basis of a statistical analysis of empirical data collected among the 51 managers of various organisational entities in a Polish company. Findings: Having studied the opinions of managers, we found that most of the unique skills of neurodiverse workers are perceived as valuable. At the same time, some critical adaptations required to meet their needs are regarded as problematic and thus may potentially pose a barrier to broader employment of neurodiverse people. In addition, the obtained results deepen the previous findings of researchers on the basis of the science of management and quality by verifying whether there is a relationship between managers' assessment of the usefulness of the skills of neurodiverse people and possible, in the opinion of managers, adaptations of working conditions. Research limitations/implications: The limitation of the conducted research is the number of managers who took part in the survey. It needs to be emphasized that due to the purpose of the study, number of respondents was less important than the diversity of organisational entities, which they represented. Nevertheless, conducted research contributes to raising awareness of neurodiversity and may be the basis for further research. Practical implications: The practical rationale for undertaking research in this area is the five times lower employment rate of neurodiverse people in Poland compared to the average for the European Union. The awareness of the managers' opinions about mentioned issues allows for institutional and organizational solutions to be prepared thus to increase the employment of these people. Originality/value: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to examine employment opportunities of neurodiverse people in various organisational entities in a company. Findings from this study may be of interest to various groups, including neurodiverse people, organizations, state institutions and other researches.

The paper aims to present the results of surveys of students' opinions on the quality of municipal services available in Krakow and its changes during the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis covered most basic municipal services, in particular water, heat, and public transport. Opinions on the public services were collected through surveys carried out twice, in 2019 and 2021, on a representative group of students of several major Cracow universities. The analysis revealed that, despite the chal-lenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the municipal services' general quality has not deterio-rated.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja wyników badania opinii studentów na temat jakości usług publicznych świadczonych w Krakowie przed oraz w trakcie epidemii Covid-19. Zakres analizowanych usług publicznych obejmuje dostawę wody pitnej, odbiór ścieków, ogrzewanie oraz komunikację publiczną. Percepcja jakości tych usług została oceniona z wykorzystaniem badania ankietowego, przeprowadzonego w dwóch turach – w roku 2019 oraz w roku 2021, na reprezentatywnej próbie studentów największych uczelni krakowskich. Analiza wykazała, że pomimo wyzwań związanych z epidemią Covid-19, zasadnicza ocena usług publicznych nie pogorszyła się.

At the beginning of the year 2016, the representatives of the Polish Radon Centre decided to organize proficiency tests (PTs) for measurements of radon gas and radon decay products in the air, involving radon monitors and laboratory passive techniques. The Silesian Centre for Environmental Radioactivity of the Central Mining Institute (GIG), Katowice, became responsible for the organization of the PT exercises. The main reason to choose that location was the radon chamber in GIG with a volume of 17 m3 , the biggest one in Poland. Accordingly, 13 participants from Poland plus one participant from Germany expressed their interest. The participants were invited to inform the organizers about what types of monitors and methods they would like to check during the tests. On this basis, the GIG team prepared the proposal for the schedule of exercises, such as the required level(s) of radon concentrations, the number and periods of tests, proposed potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC) levels and also the overall period of PT. The PT activity was performed between 6th and 17th June 2016. After assessment of the results, the agreement between radon monitors and other measurement methods was confirmed. In the case of PAEC monitors and methods of measurements, the results of PT exercises were consistent and confirmed the accuracy of the calibration procedures used by the participants. The results of the PAEC PTs will be published elsewhere; in this paper, only the results of radon intercomparison are described.
