Purpose: The aim is to evaluate the operation of the Model Teacher Training School drawing on the example of the “Model Teacher Training School in Niemcz and Osielsko” project completed against the project evaluation findings in terms of the directions of continuing the operation of the teacher training school and its effective impact on supported schools. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents a case study of a Model Teacher Training School in Poland as a modern teacher competence support system. There are identified some selected aspects of the operation of the teacher training school established as part of the project cofounded by the EU. Project evaluation research process is discussed and selected evaluation research findings are presented for the sample of 55 teachers, including headmasters and deputy headmasters of seven supported schools. The research process has involved diagnostic methods and tools: CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interview), which uses the Microsoft Forms tool. Selected CATI qualitative research findings have been presented for a sample of 8 respondents, including the representatives of the Beneficiary and the Partner, headmasters and deputy headmasters of the Training School, the representatives of the higher education provider and the supporting institution. Findings: The school serving a function of the Training School performs actions focused on a teacher competence development in Supported Schools in selected forms and work methods. The idea of the modern approach to teacher competence enhancement is a cooperation of the Training School with experts of educational institutions: the higher education provider, supporting institutions and the education superintendent authority. It is also valuable every year to include new Supported Schools into the supporting process and improving the forms and methods of working with teachers. It is possible to the evaluation of the actions performed the findings of which facilitate a further determination of directions of continuing the operation of the Model Training School for the years to come. Research limitations/implications: Compliant with the Training School Model, the operation of teacher training schools should be subject to annual evaluation process, which will enhance the quality of the actions by increasing the correctness, effectiveness, usefulness, efficiency and lifespan. Some limitation to undertaking the research process is a problem with financing the evaluation research which must be financed outside the project. Practical implications: The evaluation research findings, including the expectations of supported schools’ teaching and management staff, have facilitated a further determination of support forms which should be offered by the teacher training school throughout the project, which is for the upcoming 5 years. The forms of support which should be continued throughout the project life offer a possibility of using ready-made teaching aids, a participation in discussion forums, sharing blogs and methodology workshops. The teachers have slightly lower expectations in terms of continuing their participation in conferences and seminars, working on-line on the doskonaleniewsieci.pl platform, taking part in demo classes, consultations and stationary cooperation networks. Social implications: The teacher training school operation will affect the social domain as the teacher training school, by offering an adequate support to the teachers and including new schools into cooperation, will enhance a development of the key student competences, especially foreign languages learning, mathematics, natural sciences, ICT and teachers sharing their knowledge and skills. Originality/value: The teacher training school model presented as well as the evaluation research findings provide a recommendation for practical professional development of primary school teachers in Poland.

Purpose: Since the accession of Poland to the European Union, there has been a rapid increase in the implementation of projects supervised and funded by the European Union. Social and educational projects pursuing activation and development of youth enjoyed great popularity, in particular the social project entitled ‘Moje Boisko – Orlik 2012’, conceived for building 2012 modern and multi-functional sports pitches throughout the country by 2012. The project has received great recognition from the society, and the resulting sports facilities have won the affection of the beneficiaries. The purpose of the study is an attempt to assess the utilisation degree of 23 sports facilities designed within the framework of the ‘Moje Boisko – Orlik 2012’ project in the city of Bydgoszcz in the context of evaluation criteria, including adequacy, effectiveness, and efficiency. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a technique of analysis of primary source documents – desk research. As part of this technique, an analysis of the existing data was carried out. The analysis of the quality of accessible information under the separated evaluation categories of websites was carried out to assess the information contained in ‘Orlik’ type facility websites. Findings: The analysis of website accessibility showed that the Orlik facility websites are not adapted for use by people with any type of disability. The functionality analysis of the Orlik facility websites indicates they have few functions or do not have any function at all. In turn, the usability analysis of the facility websites showed that they are easy to browse and intuitive. It turns out that an effective project policy requires not only adaptation to the environment, but also active involvement of the community and flexibility in responding to varying needs and expectations of various social groups. Originality/value: The article focuses on analysing the function, usability and timeliness of the content of the websites of the Orlik pitches in Bydgoszcz, highlighting the need to improve the accessibility of the information. The article encourages measures to improve the quality of information and effective use of sports facilities, using the example of Orlik type pitches, making it useful and practical for pitch managers, the local community and potential users.

The navigation of mobile robots is a key element of autonomous systems, which allows robots to move effectively and securely in changing environments with greater autonomy and precision. This study aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive guide for selecting the best path-planning methods for their particular projects. We evaluate some popular algorithms that are regularly used in mobile robot navigation, in order to demonstrate their specifications and determine where they are most effective. For example, one algorithm is used to model the problem as a standard graph, and another algorithm is found to be the most suitable for highly dynamic and highly dimensional environments, due to its robust path-planning capabilities and efficient route construction. We also filter high-performance algorithms in terms of computational complexity, accuracy, and robustness. In conclusion, this study provides valuable information on its individual strengths and weaknesses, helping robotics and engineers make informed decisions when selecting the most appropriate algorithm for their specific applications.

Monitoring and evaluation should form the foundation of revitalisation programme management. The literature on the subject points to a general reluctance of municipalities to assess the effects of implemented revitalisation programmes, as well as the difficulties that municipalities encounter during this process. In Germany, in 2013, the federal and state governments, along with municipal associations, adopted an inter-programme concept for the evaluation of revitalisation programmes. This concept represents the first systematic structure for monitoring and evaluation of revitalisation programmes. The aim of the article is to present the assumptions of this concept and provide an overview of the experiences gained so far in its implementation. The study was based on desk research, an in-depth individual interview, the case study method, and an email interview.

On the basis of the analysis of more than a hundred projects that have beencompleted over the past four decades, the process of the transformation of thearchitecture of orphanages in the context of the deinstitutionalisation strategywas analysed. The analysis was based on a specially developed method ofcomparing environmental and peculiarities of fostering. The main goal of thismethod was to establish a connection between the effective methods of raisingchildren and architectural form. In accordance with the structure of the plan,three types of orphanage have been identified – single, branched and dispersed.As a result of the analysis, three factors were identified that contribute to thepreservation of outdated methods of organising the architectural space of analternative care institution for children. A number of design solutions have beenidentified that have significant potential for strengthening deinstitutionalized,child-centred educational practices that correspond to the best interests of the child.

This paper is a practical guideline on how to analyze and evaluate the literature algorithms of singularity- robust inverse kinematics or to construct new ones. Additive, multiplicative, and based on the Singularity Value Decomposition (SVD) methods are examined to retrieve well-conditioning of a matrix to be inverted in the Newton algorithm of inverse kinematics. It is shown that singularity avoidance can be performed in two different, but equivalent, ways: either via properly modified manipulability matrix or not allowing the decrease of the minimal singular value below a given threshold. It is discussed which method can always be used and which can only be used when some pre‐conditions are met. Selected methods are compared to with respect to the efficiency of coping with singularities based on a theoretical analysis as well as simulation results. Also, some questions important for mathematically and/or practically oriented roboticians are stated and answered.

In general, traditional evaluations of target camouflage effects are usually conducted based on observational data and general results of statistical analysis. This widely applied methodology quantifies the detection and identification probabilities of camouflage objects but has considerable shortcomings. This data evaluation process is laborious and time-consuming and very low in reproducibility, which sheds light on the necessity of developing a more efficient method in this study field. The growth of computeraided image processing technology provides technical support for camouflage effect evaluation based on digital image processing. Digital pattern painting, which has been previously applied to combat utility uniforms, is a new methodology full of potential due to its broad geographical adaptability. This study proposes a multi-scale pattern-in-picture method to evaluate camouflage effects at different distances. We also established a computer-aided background image library and camouflage assessments with digital simulation and created an evaluation system that could be effectively applied to combat utility uniforms. More than 40 testers participated in this study, who were asked to score the designed camouflage schemes using the evaluation system proposed. The data from simulation assessments and individual evaluations show that the computer-aided simulation assessments conducted as part of this research can efficiently and objectively evaluate the camouflage effect on military objects.

The heat transfer coefficient during the pool boiling on the outside of a horizontal tube can be predicted by correlations. Our choice was based on ten correlations known from the literature. The experimental data were recovered from the recent work, for different fluids used. An evaluation was made of agreement between each of the correlations and the experimental data. The results of the present study firstly showed a good reliability for the correlations of untsov [10], Stephan and Abdeslam [11] with deviations of 20% and 27%, respectively. Also, the results revealed acceptable agreements for the correlations of Kruzhlin [6], Mc Nelly [7] and Touhami [15] with deviations of 26%, 29% and 29% respectively. The remaining correlations showed very high deviations from the experimental data. Finally, improvements have been made in the correlations of Shekriladze [12] and Mostinski [9], and a new correlation was proposed giving convincing results.

The Constantine tramway line in Algeria has many variables that can be analysed to assess the impact of the line. These variables include social ones, such as the rational supply of transport between different modes of travel, the place of people with reduced mobility in the supply and interior and exterior design. Moreover, the economic variables that are the most dominant in relation to its importance in the development of the economy of the city are the reliability and comfort made to the regularity of the transport time in relation to time savings and intermodality at stopping points. To this end, this article examines these different variables during several commissioning periods in order to determine the impact of the introduction of the tramway line in the Constantine metropolitan area. Its approach is carried out through a field survey, interviews and on-site observations with a population made up of users of different travel modes. The results confirm that the tramway line linking the city of Constantine and the new town of Ali Mendjeli has a strong effect on ridership. On the other hand, its effects seem minimal in terms of rational supply and intermodality between different travel modes. Meanwhile, reliability and regularity are topics that deserve to be explored. The accessibility of people with reduced mobility is considered a primary objective of the tramway system.

The location of a significant part of the agricultural territories of Kazakhstan in the risk agriculture zone implies the development and further application of an objective monitoring system for irrigated territories. The purpose of the study was to develop methods for on-the-spot and long-term recognition of irrigated massifs and verification of methods in the conditions of the territories of southern Kazakhstan. The paper describes the methods of on-the-spot recognition of irrigated fields, the general assessment of irrigated areas for the growing season, as well as the method of recognizing promising areas for irrigation. The on-the-spot recognition of the fields is based on the use of such spectral indices as the Global Vegetation Moisture Index, Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and the xanthophyll index, combined into a single system by the Decision Tree algorithm. The assessment of irrigated areas is based on differences in the physiological state of plants in conditions of normal water supply and plants experiencing a lack of moisture. The evaluation system includes the calculation of the temperature difference according to the corresponding satellite data and the calculation of the difference in vegetation indices for the same period. The difference in vegetation indices in irrigated fields has positive values due to a steady increase in green biomass, and the temperature difference, on the contrary, is negative or zero, since healthy plants, with normal water supply, actively evaporate moisture to maintain optimal temperatures of biochemical processes. To develop these methods, ground data from 2017–2021 were used. Verification of the methods with ground data demonstrated acceptable accuracy (87% in the on-the-spot assessment of irrigated fields; 60–90% in the general assessment of irrigated areas), while the methods have significant potential for further improvement.

Monthly reports from June 2017 to May 2018 of Twenty-one wastewater treatment plants in Sharkia were evaluated for the following parameters: temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrate (NO3), oil and grease (O&G) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) values. The first aim of this study was to estimate the main wastewater per capita pollution generation per day (PCPL) and found that the 90th percentile PCPL for TSS, COD, BOD, NO3 and O&G were equal to 57.42, 91.59, 59.13, 1.64 and 12.39 (g/capita/day) respectively. The second aim was to assess the performance of the WWTPs in the governorate, by calculating of the wastewater quality index (WWQI) of each plant and for the entire governorate which shows that; 2 WWTPs gives a good performance, 9 WWTPs gives a fair performance, 9 WWTPs gives a marginal performance and 1 WWTP is in bad conditions, the average performance all over the governorate is considered marginal. A simple empirical formula had been established to be used for calculation of the WWQI based on the tested parameters using the multiple linear regression and found to be very effective in predicting the WWQI for the WWTPs.

The article presents the subject matter of safety in road traffic in Poland in the aspects selected by the authors. The research objective of the study was to identify, analyse and evaluate road safety in Poland. A review of the literature, i.e. books and scientific articles, as well as analysis of statistical data from the Polish Border Guard Headquarters in Warsaw, the National Police Headquarters in Warsaw and the Central Statistical Office were used to examine the problem matter. The status of road safety depends on numerous factors: the article analyses road accidents that occurred in specific months, days of the week and times of the day and considers alcohol intoxication of road users. The authors emphasize that one of the most essential problems that Poland faces today is low level of road safety. This may be for two reasons. First of all, there is an increase in the number of passenger cars, trucks, and tractor units. Secondly, the pace of road infrastructure improvement is insufficient.

Celem badawczym opracowania była identyfikacja, analiza i ocena bezpieczeństwa drogowego w Polsce. Do poznania problematyki zastosowano przegląd literatury, tj. pozycji zwartych oraz artykułów naukowych, analizę danych statystycznych pochodzących z Komendy Głównej Straży Granicznej w Warszawie, Komendy Głównej Policji w Warszawie oraz Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego. Stan bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego uwarunkowany jest wieloma czynnikami, zaś w artykule dokonano analizy wypadków drogowych, które miały miejsce w określonych miesiącach, dniach tygodnia i określonych porach doby oraz wzięto pod uwagę nietrzeźwość użytkowników dróg. Autorzy podkreślają, że jednym z ważniejszych problemów, jakie dotykają dziś Polskę, jest ciągle niski poziom bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego. Może to wynikać z dwóch powodów. Pierwszym jest wzrost liczby pojazdów osobowych i ciężarowych oraz ciągników siodłowych. Drugi to zbyt wolna poprawa infrastruktury drogowej.

The purpose of this study is to attempt answering a question about the impact that the agreement reached by the Regional Director for Environmental Protection has on decisions regarding environmental dependencies in Poland. So far, two positions have been expressed in the literature on the subject. According to the first one, such an agreement is binding for the authority issuing the decision. The opponents of such an approach, on the other hand, argue that the administrative body is independent in that respect. The author, although attempting an in-depth analysis of both approaches, is in favor of the first one, additionally taking into account arguments of a juridical, functional and teleological nature. The case study concerned the construction of five buildings for breeding chicken broilers or turkeys along with the accompanying infrastructure on a property located within Solniki, municipality of Zabłudów.

Dotychczas w literaturze tematu ukształtowały się dwa stanowiska. Zgodnie z pierwszym uzgodnienie takie jest dla organu wydającego decyzję wiążące. Przeciwnicy takiego podejścia przekonują natomiast, że organ administracyjny jest w tym zakresie samodzielny. Autor dokonując pogłębionej analizy obydwu podejść opowiada się po pierwszej ze stron, biorąc dodatkowo pod uwagę argumenty natury jurydycznej, funkcjonalnej oraz celowościowej.

A growing number of Czech construction companies now recognise the importance of supplementing traditional financial measurements with a wider range of non-financial measurements as well. A significant number of organisations are adopting different models of performance measurement to implement business improvement strategies. The main aim of our research was to elucidate the importance that Czech construction companies attach to the individual criteria used in measurement systems. Original data were collected using a questionnaire survey. The answers were quantified in terms of the frequency of occurrence and relative importance index. The results show that traditional measurement criteria such as time and cost are still the most important for construction companies measurement systems. Positive finding is that certain new areas of measurement are increasingly being incorporated into measurement practice and their importance for Czech construction companies is growing rapidly, especially in the area of measuring the productivity of workers and craftsmen together with the productivity of subcontractors. The environmental impact of construction is still one of the least important areas in the measurement systems of construction contracts in Czech construction companies.

The article presents the possibility of using geophysical surveys to assess the stability of Carpathian slopes built of flysch deposits susceptible to mass movements. Landslide slopes located in the coastal zone of artificial water reservoirs are particularly susceptible to the loss of stability due to the erosion of this zone and the changing water level in the reservoir. Geophysical surveys of landslides carried out as a part of the research programs: PR-7 carried out by IMGW in 1972-1980 and SOPO carried out by PGI in 2009-2016 made it possible to develop a methodology of geophysical surveys enabling the determination of the geometry (course of the slip surface and range levels) of the existing landslides, information necessary to carry out a computational analysis of their stability. Examples of geometry of landslides in the coastal zone of the Czorsztyn reservoir and landslides in the area of hydrotechnical drifts of the Swinna-Poreba dam were presented. The possibility of a quantitative evaluation of the stability of the Carpathian slopes was also proposed on the basis of the SMR (Slope Mass Rating) proposed by M. Romana, using the KFG (Klasyfikacja Fliszu-Geofizyczna) geophysical classification equivalent to the RMR (Rock Mass Rating) classification by Z.T. Bieniawski for the assessment of the massif. A dozen or so active landslides were compiled for which the stability was determined using the SMR method.

W artykule przedstawiono możliwość wykorzystania badań geofizycznych w ocenie stateczności zboczy karpackich zbudowanych z podatnych na ruchy masowe utworów fliszowych. Szczególnie podatne na utratę stateczności, z powodu erozji strefy brzegowej i zmiennego poziomu wody w zbiorniku, są zbocza osuwiskowe położone w strefie brzegowej sztucznych zbiorników wodnych. Badania geofizyczne osuwisk wykonane w ramach programów badawczych PR-7, realizowanego przez IMGW w latach 1972-1980 i SOPO, realizowanego przez PIG w latach 2009-2016, umożliwiły wypracowanie metodyki badań geofizycznych umożliwiających określenie geometrii (przebieg powierzchni poślizgu i poziomy zasięg) istniejących osuwisk, informacji niezbędnej do przeprowadzenia analizy obliczeniowej ich stateczności. Przedstawiono przykłady rozpoznania geometrii osuwisk w strefie brzegowej zbiornika Czorsztyn oraz osuwisk w rejonie sztolni hydrotechnicznych zapory Świnna-Poręba. Przedstawiono również możliwość ilościowej oceny stateczności zboczy karpackich na podstawie klasyfikacji SMR (Slope Mass Rating) zaproponowanej przez M. Romanę, wykorzystując do oceny masywu klasyfikację geofizyczną KFG (Klasyfikacja Fliszu - Geofizyczna) równoważną z klasyfikacją RMR (Rock Mass Rating) Z.T. Bieniawskiego. Zestawiono kilkanaście czynnych osuwisk, dla których określono stateczność metodą SMR.
