Content available remote Perceptions of an endangered Baltic Sea
EN
In a series of ad-hoc surveys at different academic institutions in the Baltic Sea region, students and young scholars were asked about their views about the environmental issues of the Baltic Sea, and who would be responsible for the management of the Baltic Sea. Overfishing, climate change and waste were considered the most significant issues, while tourism and constructions (of bridges, etc.) were less often recognized as severe. The responsibility for the management of the Baltic Sea was mostly attributed to the European Union or to the respective national governments. Since climate is one of these issues, one question has dealt with the main task of climate science. It turns out that the most frequent assertion was not the genuine scientific task of generating knowledge about the dynamics of the system. Instead, the task of solving the problem and, equally often, supporting climate activism was favored. The results are not representative – neither for the separate surveys, nor for the selection of the sites of surveying. However, when taken all surveys together, the emergence of consistent perceptions may be considered evidence for a general attitude among students and young scholars in the Baltic regions. However, differences between groups – in terms of nationality, seniority and discipline - may be related to sampling randomness.

The objective of this paper is to propose effective methods to implement sustainable development principles among young people, both in schools and universities. The authors of this article recognize the significant potential among young individuals whose actions and choices have a substantial impact on the environment. By analyzing the knowledge and behaviors of young people towards sustainable development and environmental protection, based on surveys conducted among pupils and students from the south-eastern region of Poland, this paper identifies gaps that require improvement and proposes actions aimed at raising pro-ecological awareness among the youth. The analysis revealed that only 25% of the respondents have heard about the "Agenda for Sustainable Development – 2030", 20% were familiar with the goals of sustainable development, and few have participated in initiatives for sustainable development. However, 58% of respondents claimed to engage in activities for environmental protection in their daily lives. The article also presents the degree of compliance with the assumptions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development on both global and local scales. Furthermore, the paper analyzes two aspects of students' awareness of sustainable development: their knowledge of goals and documents, and their pro-ecological behavior in daily life. Based on the findings, this paper proposes ways to introduce sustainable development principles in selected areas of school and university functioning to enhance ecological awareness and shape pro-ecological attitudes among young people. Concrete actions to facilitate implementation are also suggested.

Many potential suppliers state that they are ready to produce components according to specified requirements as they are familiar with the ISO GPS system tools for dimensional and geometrical tolerancing. Regrettably, in many instances, this is not true. This paper discusses a survey developed to assess the geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing skills and results derived from this survey executed among 15 potential suppliers. The investigation aims to preselect potential suppliers and evaluate how much support the suppliers will require while also assessing the risks associated with placing an order with a particular supplier. The survey is based on the online test comprised of 27 closed-end questions used to identify strengths, weaknesses, and knowledge of a candidate supplier’s personnel. Five different answers are given for each question. The respondent shall indicate one correct answer. The inquiry is practically oriented. Most of the questions include drawings with indicated selected tolerance as well as drawings of the possible actual parts with exaggerated geometrical deviations. The associated question is whether an actual part is made according to the specification. The main conclusion is that most responders disclose a low level of understanding of the ISO GPS system. Urgent education is needed.

Software requirements specification is an important foundation of the software development process. It documents the requirements, expectations, and restrictions for a system to be developed. It should describe what the produced system will offer in detail and unambiguously. It should also provide a realistic basis for estimating product costs, risks, and schedules. Still, it is difficult to prepare a useful specification effectively. We want to propose an approach to creating a good specification. We started the work from scratch by determining what the scope of the specification should be. We asked people who work on IT projects what information is and should be included in the specifications with which they work. This paper presents results from a survey conducted with 163 participants who have experience working on commercial software development projects. The main observation is that the content of requirements specification differs with respect to project characteristics, such as industry or financing method. We also noticed that the information about integration with external systems and functionalities most often appears in the SRS.

Content available remote Content-Based Recommender Systems Taxonomy
EN
In the era of internet access, recommender systems try to alleviate the difficulty consumers face while trying to find items (e.g. services, products, or information) that better match their needs. To do so, a recommender system selects and proposes (possibly unknown) items that may be of interest to some candidate consumer, by predicting her/his preference for this item. Given the diversity of needs between consumers and the enormous variety of items to be recommended, a large set of approaches have been proposed by the research community. This paper provides a review of the approaches proposed in the entire research area of content-based recommender systems, and not only in one part of it. To facilitate understanding, we provide a categorization of each approach based on the tools and techniques employed, which results to the main contribution of this paper, a content-based recommender systems taxonomy. This way, the reader acquires a quick and complete understanding of this research area. Finally, we provide a comparison of content-based recommender systems according to their ability to efficiently handle well-known drawbacks.

Ostatnie lata na polskim rynku nieruchomości były czasem wyjątkowo szybkich przemian. Niespodziewane sytuacje, takie jak pandemia COVID-19, wybuch wojny za wschodnią granicą Polski czy bardzo szybki wzrost inflacji, a w efekcie wzrost cen materiałów budowlanych oraz spadek zdolności kredytowej skutkują niższym zainteresowaniem kupnem nieruchomości wśród Polaków. Ze względu na wszystkie te czynniki jeszcze większą wagę przywiązuje się do decyzji o zakupie mieszkania, która staje się coraz trudniejsza. W celu znalezienia odpowiedzi na pytanie, co jest dla ludzi najważniejsze podczas poszukiwania nieruchomości oraz jakie czynniki wpływają na ostateczny zakup, przeprowadzono badania ankietowe wiosną tego roku. Rezultaty badań przedstawiono w formie wykresów i są one wynikiem postawionych pytań badawczych, których prezentacja jest celem niniejszego artykułu.

Last years have been a time of exceptionally rapid changes when it comes to the Polish real estate market. Unexpected situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the outbreak of the war across the eastern border of Poland or a very fast increase in inflation resulting in an increase in the prices of building materials and a decrease in the creditworthiness of Poles, resulted in lower interest in buying flats. Due to all these factors, even more importance is attached to the decision to buy an apartment, which is becoming more and more difficult. In order to find an answer to the question of what is most important to people when looking for a property and what factors affect the final purchase, a survey was conducted this spring. After analyzing the results, charts were drawn containing data answering the research questions posed, the presentation of which is the aim of this article.

Purpose: Recent years have brought a very dynamic increase in the importance of the environmental aspects of the activities conducted by enterprises in the mining industry. This is mainly due to the currently binding legal requirements in the field of environmental protection, which impose a number of obligations on business entities, aimed at limiting the impact of activities on the natural environment, removing effects, as well as rehabilitating areas affected by this activity. In order to be able to fully manage the environmental costs incurred by companies in connection with pro-ecological activities, it is necessary to provide appropriate tools and enable people dealing with the above-mentioned issues to raise their qualifications. In the article, in addition to the literature review, an attempt was made to present the issues related to the reporting of environmental costs in the mining sector, both in terms of creating reports, classification of costs and the knowledge of employees dealing with the above mentioned issue and identification of areas requiring improvement. For this purpose, a specially created questionnaire was used, the results of which were also presented in the article. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the results of a survey on the awareness of environmental costs in people who deal with the above-mentioned costs. The test results are presented by means of graphs. Findings: The most important problems related to environmental cost reporting by mining companies include: reporting only those costs that are required by law, insufficient knowledge of environmental costs among employees preparing reports, lack of a detailed classification of environmental costs dedicated to the mining sector. As part of the survey, problems related to reporting of environmental costs by mining plants were identified. They were mainly related to the knowledge of the concept of environmental costs by those responsible for reporting them and adequate training in the field of these costs. Additionally, the level of employee interest in participation in conferences and courses related to environmental costs was examined. Originality/value: This article is dedicated to employees of the mining sector and students of mining faculties. The article presents a change in the perception of environmental costs incurred by hard coal mines as only negative, and the extension of environmental reports to include costs incurred, inter alia, for preventive measures and the use of questionnaire surveys as a method of measuring employees' awareness of environmental costs was proposed.

Content available Survey of hyperspectral imaging and applications
EN
The article deals with the survey of hyperspectral imaging and its applications. The article is devoted to a survey of the key areas in which hyperspatial imaging finds application. These areas include geological survey and mineralogy, plastic separation, food quality inspection, precision agriculture, landmine detection, medical imaging, and manufacturing processes. It can be stated that the possibilities where hyperspectral imaging can be used are numerous. Also, the application of such technology and its deployment needs a deep understanding of the problem to which we want to apply hyperspectral imaging. In general, it can be used where it is possible to compare images of the normal state against the current state with a comparison sample.

Annoyance due to wind turbine noise is usually assessed on the basis of surveys conducted among people living in the vicinity of turbines or in the laboratory conditions. Due to the fact that the latter are very different from natural conditions, we propose a solution to reduce this difference. Prior to the surveys, 50 participants were asked to familiarize themselves with 5 environmental signals. They were informed about the annoyance rating assigned to each signal (obtained earlier in laboratory conditions), expressed as a number between 0 (not annoying signal) and 10 (extremely annoying signal). Participants were then presented with new environmental sounds and asked to rate the annoyance caused by each sound, in accordance with the previously learned method. The analysis of our results shows that the variability of answers given by respondents at their homes is similar to those obtained earlier in laboratory conditions.

With the continuous urban expansion of cities around the world, cities have become more crowded as the numbers of all kinds of vehicles have increased, especially due to the inclination of individuals to use personal cars. In this study, we want to identify the different reasons that motivate the populations of the state of Skikda, Algeria, to prefer using cars through a questionnaire. In order to be clearer, we processed and analyzed the survey data using the SPSS analytical program. This article aims to identify the main reasons that motivate individuals to prefer using a personal car when traveling and propose possible solutions, or even identify actions to be taken now and in the future in order to establish a more sustainable exclusive transport. By analyzing the results, it became clear to us that road users prefer cars only for psychological and technical reasons and do not consider the preservation of the environment or the security of people. Although they are aware of the problems arising from their extensive use, they continue to do so because they have no other alternative. Improvements in public transportation means would change the situation.

The article presents aspects connected with the identification of the main problems of the deaf and the hard of hearing when they use public transport and the related infrastructure in Poland. For the purpose of the analysis, a survey was conducted among 71 deaf and hard of hearing persons who live in large conurbations and use public transport daily. The survey included questions concerning to what extent the public transport and infrastructure are adapted to the needs of the hard of hearing. The participants evaluated the system of passenger information and indicated problems they come across most frequently in public transport vehicles and at stops. The problems were related to two primary issues: difficulties communicating directly with the drivers or when paying the fare in the ticket window and problems hearing and understanding voice messages played in vehicles and at train/bus stations.

Odnawialne źródła energii stanowią alternatywę dla tradycyjnych nośników energii, tj. paliw kopalnych. Pozyskanie tej formy energii w Polsce wykazuje w ostatnich latach tendencję zwyżkową. Udział energii ze źródeł odnawialnych w pozyskaniu energii pierwotnej ogółem wzrósł w latach 2019–2020 z 19,74 % do 21,60 %. Energia pozyskiwana ze źródeł odnawialnych w Polsce w 2020 r. pochodziła w przeważającym stopniu z biopaliw stałych, energii wiatru i z biopaliw ciekłych. W przypadku energii wiatru, stosowanie turbin wiatrowych, pomimo licznych zalet, wywołuje od wielu lat szereg pytań i wątpliwości z zakresu oddziaływania turbin na człowieka. Oddziaływanie to obejmuje wiele czynników, w szczególności hałas turbin wiatrowych. Hałas turbin wiatrowych postrzegany jest jako źródło uciążliwości dla osób zamieszkałych i pracujących w pobliżu farm wiatrowych. W celu dokonania oceny uciążliwości hałasu turbin wiatrowych wśród pracowników zatrudnionych w pobliżu farm wiatrowych zostało przeprowadzone badanie ankietowe.

Renewable energy sources are an alternative to traditional energy carriers, i.e. fossil fuels. Obtaining this form of energy in Poland shows an upward trend in recent years. The share of energy from renewable sources in the total primary energy production increased in the years 2019-2020 from 19.74 % to 21.60 %. Energy obtained from renewable sources in Poland in 2020 mainly came from solid biofuels, wind energy and liquid biofuels. In the case of wind energy the use of wind turbines, despite its numerous advantages, has been causing a number of questions and doubts about the human impact for many years. This impact involves many factors, in particular wind turbine noise. Wind turbine noise is seen as a source of annoyance for people living and working near wind farms. In order to assess the wind turbine noise annoyance for people employed in the vicinity of wind farms, a survey was carried out. The paper presents the results of this study and their analysis. The obtained results show that the surveyed employees perceive wind turbines noise as noise with a slight annoyance – the average annoyance rating was 2.33 on a scale from 0 to 10.

In 2020, an international project on residential lighting started and was implemented in four countries (Poland, Sweden, UK and Turkey). This article presents the results of a survey carried out in Poland, in the winter term between November 2020 and January 2021. A total of 125 Polish residents (59 women, 65 men, one person did not wish to specify gender) participated in the survey. A variety of data was collected on the respondents and their assessments as well as on their satisfaction with day- and artificial lighting in residential living spaces. The results from questionnaires were analyzed with STATISTICA 13.3. Descriptive statistics and Spearman rank order correlations were adopted to identify the light-related aspects, lighting patterns, and respondents’ perception of day- and artificial lighting conditions in living areas. The results revealed that satisfaction with daylighting in the living area, both in summer and winter, was significantly correlated with daylighting level, daylighting uniformity, sunlight exposure and view-out. The results also revealed that satisfaction with artificial lighting was significantly correlated with artificial lighting level, artificial lighting uniformity and color rendering. The results provide valuable information on lighting and factors that influence the luminous environment in residential living spaces.

Endpoint users are usually viewed as the highest-risk element in the field of cybersecurity. At the same time, they need to be protected not just from the individual-level prism but also, from the state’s perspective, to counter threats like botnets that harvest weakly secured endpoints and forge an army of so-called zombies that are often used to attack critical infrastructure or other systems vital to the state. Measures aimed at citizens like the Israeli hotline for cybersecurity incidents or Estonian educational efforts have already started to be implemented. However, little effort is made to understand the recipients of such measures. Our study uses the survey method to partly fill this gap and investigate how endpoint users (citizens) are willing to protect themselves against cyber threats. To make results more valid, a unique comparison was made between cyber threats and physical threats according to the impact which they had. The results show statistically significant differences between comparable cyber-physical pairs indicating that a large portion of the sample was not able to assess the threat environment appropriately and that state intervention with fitting countermeasures is required. The resultant matrix containing frequencies of answers denotes what portion of respondents are willing to invest a certain amount of time and money into countering given threats, this enables the possible identification of weak points where state investment is needed most.

Food quality management is nowadays an indispensable element that focuses all activities in the food industry. Each company operating in the food industry that supplies products to the market is obliged to implement and use systems that ensure the required quality of manufactured products. The aim of the study was to analyze the advisability of implementing quality management systems in the light of the opinions of employees from the food industry. To carry out the research, the original questionnaire that consisted of 31 questions was used. The questions included in the survey, single and multiple choice, focused on collecting information about issues such as the concept of food safety, the benefits resulting of implementing quality management systems, quality management systems operating in the enterprise, training in their scope and assessing the need to implement these systems and their impact on safety of produced food in the opinion of employees. The survey was primarily attended by the company’s production employees and employees from the management staff, as well as from administrative and office department. The answers to the questions were presented in the form of graphs, with some of them being analyzed in terms of the position held by the respondents or their seniority in the company. By conducting a thorough and in-depth analysis of the research results, it was possible to verify the hypotheses that were formulated at the beginning of the work, as well as to draw conclusions.

This article focuses on traffic modeling of intersections in Aimsun. The intersections studied are in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Every year, the number of vehicles on roads increases and congestions are created. Individual intersections do not have unlimited capacity. Simulations help to predict possible future problems and thus the possibility to prevent them. Accordingly, at intersections on Vajnorská street, a traffic survey was carried out using video cameras. Then, simulations were carried out in Aimsun. The results are shown in the tables separately for each intersection along with the determined overall quality level of the intersection. In addition to the current situation, simulations were carried out for increased traffic by 10% and 20%, and overall quality levels were also determined. Finally, the results were evaluated and compared with each other. This article points out the importance of research into the permeability of important points of the road network: intersections. It is necessary to carry out capacity assessments when planning any construction that will affect traffic in each location.
