Purpose: The subject of this article is training and its impact on the motivation of public administration employees in tax offices. Design/methodology/approach: both secondary and primary research were conducted. Secondary research includes literature on the subjects of motivation, motivating, human resources management and employee training. However, the primary study includes a survey conducted in tax offices; in this case, the method was a survey, the technique was an online survey, and the research tool was a survey questionnaire. Findings: respondents almost unanimously answered that they mainly participate in training because the acquired knowledge will allow them to improve the performance of their duties. Training also motivates them to continue their professional development. The answer regarding job change is noteworthy: respondents do not connect the knowledge acquired during training with the possibility of changing jobs. The research shows that the most important form of motivation is material motivation. Next are the atmosphere and satisfaction with the duties performed. Originality/value: indicating how important it is to align employees' personal goals with the goals of the organization. In such a case, the system should take into account the individual needs of employees, but employees should also recognize the opportunities for their own development and the benefits that may accrue to the institution. In this way, professional goals can also become personal goals. The author drew attention to an important issue - respondents are aware of their needs, and employers should notice and meet their expectations. This will undoubtedly improve the functioning of many offices. In the era of artificial intelligence, employees' soft skills should be particularly valued because interpersonal skills, flexibility, the ability to cooperate, and creativity are becoming the key factors that distinguish people in the context of technological progress.

For years, the most important value of any organisation invariably remains the people who make it up. Their competence, knowledge and skills directly determine the outcome of the processes implemented and the level of results achieved. The same situation applies to military logistics personnel performing a wide variety of tasks within the subsystems of the military logistics system. As experience to date indicates, the key issue in the proper preparation of logistics personnel is the education of managerial cadres within military education. In this extremely complex process, it turns out to be a priority to reliably measure the effectiveness of the didactic methods and techniques used, the effect of which unambiguously determines the competences, knowledge and skills of those graduating from specific forms of education conducted within the framework of military higher education. It should be noted that the area subjected to research has not been comprehensively explored in the scientific dimension so far, which results in the fact that the research results obtained and described in the article complement the research gap clearly noticed in the literature on the subject regarding the measurement of the effectiveness of training logistic personnel in the military higher education system. The article is an attempt to fill a research gap in the field of the effectiveness of training logistic personnel for the needs of the armed forces, which undoubtedly exists because the literature on the effectiveness of training does not refer to this area. The aim of this article is to identify and evaluate priority dimensions and methods for measuring the effectiveness of logistics personnel education in the military higher education system. The research problem undertaken to be solved was specified in the following form: which dimensions, measures and indicators should be prioritised in the process of measuring the effectiveness of logistics personnel education in the military higher education system? A number of methods were used in the material, the leading ones being analysis and synthesis, literature search, abstraction and inference. A diagnostic survey method using an expert interview technique was used as the empirical method. The approach adopted was due to the nature and complexity of the research problem undertaken to solve.

Niezmiennym pozostaje od lat, że najważniejszą wartością każdej organizacji pozostają tworzący ją ludzie. Od ich kompetencji, wiedzy i umiejętności wynika bezpośrednio wynik realizowanych procesów oraz poziom osiąganych efektów. Tożsama sytuacja odnosi się do wojskowego personelu logistycznego realizującego szereg różnorodnych zadań w ramach podsystemów wojskowego systemu logistycznego. Jak wskazują dotychczasowe doświadczenia kluczową kwestią we właściwym przygotowaniu personelu logistycznego jest kształcenie kadr menedżerskich w ramach wojskowego szkolnictwa wojskowego. W tym niezwykle złożonym procesie priorytetem okazuje się być wiarygodny pomiar efektywności wykorzystywanych metod i technik dydaktycznych, których efekt jednoznacznie określa kompetencje, wiedzę i umiejętności osób kończących określone formy edukacji prowadzonej w ramach wojskowego szkolnictwa wyższego. Należy przy tym zauważyć, że poddany badaniom obszar nie był dotychczas kompleksowo eksplorowany w wymiarze naukowym, co skutkuje, że uzyskane i opisane w artykule wyniki stanowią uzupełninie wyraźnie dostrzeganej w literaturze przedmiotu luki badawczej dotyczącej pomiaru efektywności kształcenia kadr logistycznych w systemie wojskowego szkolnictwa wyższego. Artykuł jest próbą wypełnienia luki badawczej w zakresie efektywności kształcenia kadr logistycznych na potrzeby sił zbrojnych, która niewątpliwie istnieje, gdyż w literaturze poświęconej efektywności kształcenia brak jest odniesienia się do tego obszaru. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja i ocena priorytetowych wymiarów oraz metod pomiaru efektywności kształcenia kadr logistycznych w systemie wojskowego szkolnictwa wyższego. Podjęty do rozwiązania problem badawczy został sprecyzowany w następującej postaci: jakie wymiary, mierniki i wskaźniki powinny stanowić priorytet w procesie pomiaru efektywności kształcenia kadr logistycznych w systemie wojskowego szkolnictwa wyższego? W materiale wykorzystano szereg metod, wśród których wiodące były: analiza i synteza, kwerenda literatury przedmiotu, abstrahowanie oraz wnioskowanie. Jako metodę empiryczną wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego z użyciem techniki wywiadu eksperckiego.

Currently, the dynamic development of information technology contributes to the increasingly widespread application of Virtual Reality (VR) as modern and effective methods and training tools used in the process of self-education and/or training related to understanding the essence of the principles of operation and mastering the tasks of operating even complex systems or technical processes through simulating their actions. A significant argument for the use of virtual reality simulators in training uniformed services is the favorable cost-effect ratio and considerations of trainee safety. However, the use of VR simulators may be accompanied by the possibility of side effects or intensified symptoms of the so-called cybersickness. Bearing this in mind, the purpose of this article is to present the results of preliminary studies of adverse factors occurring during training using a VR simulator. The theoretical foundation for empirical research was provided by the results of a conducted review and analysis of literary content. Among the empirical methods, studies were conducted using a simulator sickness questionnaire and a research trial according to the parallel triangulation strategy scheme, involving the simultaneous use of quantitative and qualitative methods. The results obtained in this way can provide a valuable source of information about factors increasing the risk of adverse symptoms of cybersickness and ways of their mitigation, and can serve for further work on their development and application of VR simulators.

Purpose: Managing the areas of occupational health and safety is a complex topic and requires a lot of knowledge from the management staff in relation to management sciences. The issue of human factor management is based on human behavioral factors. It refers to the psychological aspect of a given individual and often requires adjusting the way of expression and content to the level of the recipient of a given training. Therefore, the person conducting the training should have a large amount of knowledge and have many tools to both increase the effectiveness of the training and its verification can be done using various methods such as: tests (Kojnoková et al., 2023). Design/methodology/approach It contained fifteen questions (the first five related to the metrics of respondents, the next five questions related to training in the field of occupational health and safety, the last five questions referred to the impact of training on the level of safety) ranks of factors according to the Likert scale has been presented. The part of research was the introduction of data into the enclosure sheet and the determination of mutual correlations using the correlation function. Findings: The research showed a large relationship between the frequency of training and the level of safety among respondents. In addition, studies have shown that training conducted using methods that activate employees increases their effectiveness. Originality/value: The article shows the forms of matching training in the field of occupational health and safety in steel plants. Due to the high risk occurring in the areas of steel mills, training plays a key role in the safety of employees. The content of the article is addressed both to academics who can obtain information on increasing the effectiveness of training in the areas of steel mills and to people training metallurgists to transfer knowledge as effectively as possible.

Aim: The aim of the research was to verify the assumptions regarding the need to unify and standardize the design of tank vehicles in order to make it easier for rescuers from specialized chemical-ecological rescue groups (SRGChem) to make the right decisions at the scene. Ultimately, such unification is expected to allow the safe elimination of the threat by improving the rescue efforts of the groups in question. To carry it out, it is necessary to analyse rescue operations and draw conclusions, which should be made available to the manufacturers of tank vehicles, carriers and SGRchem rescuers. Project and methodology: In the first stage of consideration, an analysis of the literature was carried out, followed by a survey of the rescuers who are members of SRGChem in order to find out their opinions on the unification of the construction of tank vehicles. Questions included emergency unloading valves. Interviews were also conducted with experts familiar with the issues of the subject in question, in particular practitioners who perform command functions in the SGRchem on a daily basis. Results: A survey of emergency responders from specialized chemical and environmental rescue groups shows that the vast majority of this group sees a significant problem arising from the varied design of tank vehicles for transporting hazardous substances. An overwhelming number of respondents indicated that unification of the construction of tank vehicles transporting hazardous substances is feasible, but requires a lot of discussions with the manufacturers in terms of seeking new solutions, i.e., insurance relief for tank vehicles that would be certified for unified construction. Conclusions: The transportation of hazardous materials is a complex process that requires specialized knowledge. The organization of transport in accordance with current safety regulations and standards ensures not only the minimization of risks arising from the transport of hazardous materials, but also its full efficiency. It is important to remember that every participant in the transport of dangerous goods has certain responsibilities. The greatest scope is imposed on the carrier and the shipper. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to an indispensable element of transport safety – that is, training, which should be carried out for all employees who come into contact with dangerous goods. All these considerations lead to the conclusion that unification of the construction of tank vehicles would have a significant impact on improving the safety of transport and the effectiveness of ongoing rescue operations.

Cel: Celem badań była weryfikacja przyjętych założeń na temat konieczności zunifikowania i ujednolicenia budowy cystern, tak aby ułatwić ratownikom specjalistycznych grup ratownictwa chemiczno-ekologicznego (SRGChem) podjęcie właściwych decyzji na miejscu akcji. Finalnie taka unifikacja ma pozwolić na bezpieczną likwidację zagrożenia poprzez usprawnienie działań ratowniczych wspomnianych grup. Do jej przeprowadzenia konieczne jest dokonanie analizy czynności ratowniczych oraz wyciągnięcie wniosków, które powinny być udostępnione producentom cystern, przewoźnikom oraz ratownikom SGRchem. Projekt i metody: W pierwszym etapie rozważań dokonano analizy literatury, następnie przeprowadzono badania ankietowe wśród ratowników będących członkami SRGChem w celu poznania ich opinii na temat unifikacji budowy cystern. Pytania dotyczyły m.in. zaworów do awaryjnego rozładunku. Przeprowadzono także wywiady z ekspertami znającymi problematykę przedmiotowego tematu, w szczególności praktykami, którzy na co dzień pełnią funkcje dowódcze w SGRchem. Wyniki: Z rozeznania przeprowadzonego wśród ratowników specjalistycznych grup ratownictwa chemiczno-ekologicznego wynika, że zdecydowana większość tej grupy dostrzega znaczny problem wynikający ze zróżnicowanej budowy cystern do przewozu substancji niebezpiecznych. Przeważająca liczba ankietowanych wskazała, że unifikacja budowy cystern przewożących substancje niebezpieczne jest możliwa do realizacji, lecz wymaga wielu rozmów z producentami w zakresie poszukiwania nowych rozwiązań, tj. ulgi w ubezpieczeniach cystern, które posiadałyby certyfikat potwierdzający zunifikowaną budowę. Wnioski: Przewóz materiałów niebezpiecznych jest skomplikowanym procesem wymagającym specjalistycznej wiedzy. Organizacja transportu zgodnie z obowiązującymi przepisami i normami w zakresie bezpieczeństwa gwarantuje nie tylko zminimalizowanie zagrożeń wynikających z przewozu materiałów niebezpiecznych, ale i pełną jego efektywność. Należy pamiętać, że każdy uczestnik przewozu towarów niebezpiecznych ma określone obowiązki. Największy zakres nałożony jest na przewoźnika oraz na nadawcę przesyłki. Jednocześnie trzeba zwrócić uwagę na nieodzowny element bezpieczeństwa w transporcie – czyli szkolenia, które powinny być przeprowadzane dla wszystkich pracowników mających styczność z towarami niebezpiecznymi. Wszystkie te uwarunkowania prowadzą do konkluzji, że unifikacja budowy cystern miałaby istotny wpływ na poprawę bezpieczeństwa transportu i skuteczności prowadzonych działań ratowniczych.

Training an anti-aircraft soldier is expensive, complicated, and time-consuming. As a result, many countries, weighing the cost-effectiveness, opt to introduce solutions aimed at minimizing this trend. One of them is incorporating modern training devices such as simulators and trainers into the training. However, to make this happen, it is worth analyzing the effectiveness of training with their use by comparing it to that conducted in a traditional way. With this in mind, the purpose of this article is to present the results of research on the effectiveness of using a Virtual Reality (VR) simulator developed at the Military University of Technology in teaching the construction and basic activities of combat work in the area of conducting a selected check of the functioning of the SA6 Gainful missile launcher system. The theoretical foundation for the empirical research was provided by a method of analyzing literary content. By using the method of comparison and generalization, knowledge was obtained about the general construction and use of training devices in the training of the anti-aircraft defense forces of the Polish Armed Forces, and the features of the VR simulator were described. As regards the empirical methods, a study was conducted using a research sample which was conducted using a parallel triangulation strategy scheme involving the simultaneous use of quantitative and qualitative methods. The synthesis served in formulating the final conclusions and in determining the relationships between theoretical and empirical studies. The results obtained in this way can provide valuable information about the effectiveness of using training devices in training anti-aircraft defense forces and serve as a basis for further work on their development and application.

Flexibility in workforce scheduling in services is necessary to reduce the impact of demand uncertainty, absenteeism, and desertion while maintaining high service levels. This paper studies the workforce scheduling problem, including multiple skill accumulation, training, and welfare, as well as flexibility for employees and the company. All these elements are modelled and included in a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model that maximises their accumulated skill level. A real case study based on the scheduling of lab assistants to laboratory practices at a university in Colombia is used to generate numerical experiments. Different experiments were conducted, and the results show that the level of skill achieved is highly sensitive to the number of assistants and the number of allocations. The experiments also showed that, while keeping the same number of lab assistants, it is possible to include flexibility and welfare constraints. Finally, the proposed model can generate schedules that achieve high levels of skills and meet the different constraints of the model, including balance, accumulation, demand and welfare.

Meta Automated Machine Learning (Meta AutoML) platforms support data scientists and domain experts by automating the ML model search. A Meta AutoML platform utilizes multiple AutoML solutions searching in parallel for their best ML model. Using multiple AutoML solutions requires a substantial amount of energy. While AutoML solutions utilize different training strategies to optimize their energy efficiency and ML model effectiveness, no research has yet addressed optimizing the Meta AutoML process. This paper presents a survey of 14 AutoML training strategies that can be applied to Meta AutoML. The survey categorizes these strategies by their broader goal, their advantage and Meta AutoML adaptability. This paper also introduces the concept of rule-based training strategies and a proof-of-concept implementation in the Meta AutoML platform OMA-ML. This concept is based on the blackboard architecture and uses a rule-based reasoner system to apply training strategies. Applying the training strategy "top-3" can save up to 70% of energy, while maintaining a similar ML model performance.

The article concerns the well-known RIONA algorithm. We focus on the explainability property of this algorithm. The theoretical results, formulated and proved in the paper, show the relationships of the RIONA classifiers to both instance- and rule-based classifiers. In particular, we show the equivalence (relative to the classification) of the RIONA algorithm with the rule-based algorithm generating all consistent and maximally general rules from the neighbourhood of the test case. Consequently, the RIONA classifier can be represented by a rule-based classifier, with rules easily interpretable by humans. These theoretical results provide the explainability of the classifiers generated by RIONA and could be used in situations when an explanation or justification of the derived decision is important. It should be noted that the RIONA algorithm requires analysing only a small number of objects and rules contrary to algorithms based on the generation of huge sets of rules.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a highly investigated area of study at present and has already become an indispensable component within an extensive range of business models and applications. One major downside of current supervised AI approaches lies in the need of numerous annotated data points to train the models. Self-supervised learning (SSL) circumvents the need for annotation, by creating supervision signals such as labels from the data itself, rather than requiring experts for this task. Current approaches mainly include the use of generative methods such as autoencoders and joint embedding architectures to fulfil this task. Recent works present comparable results to supervised learning in downstream scenarios such as classification after SSL-pretraining. To achieve this, typically modifications are required to suit the approach for the exact downstream task. Yet, current review works haven't paid too much attention to the practical implications of using SSL. Thus, we investigated and implemented popular SSL approaches, suitable for downstream tasks such as classification, from an initial collection of more than 400 papers. We evaluate a selection of these approaches under real-world dataset conditions, and in direct comparison to the supervised learning scenario. We conclude that SSL has the potential to take up with supervised learning, if the right training methods are identified and applied. Furthermore, we also introduce future directions for SSL research, as well as current limitations in real-world applications.

The article was written under the framework of the project entitled “Helicopter Simulator for Police Aviation” DOB-BIO10/07/01/2019 of a value of PLN 50 068 639, funded by the National Centre for Research and Development under the contest 10/2019. The system is being implemented by the consortium involving: the Police Academy in Szczytno (the leader of the project), the War Studies Academy and ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries Sp. z o.o. Abstract An analysis of training needs for the crews of police multi-purpose Black Hawk S70i helicopters serving in Polish Police Forces has been an impulse to attempt the construction of the simulation system within the research and development project financed by the National Centre for Research and Development entitled “Helicopter Simulator for Police Aviation” consisting of three components, i.e. a training stand for a pilot (cockpit), a stand for a cargo handler, a training stand for the police officers practicing the air drop operations. The simulator is supposed to provide an opportunity to execute drills of various emergency situations, which consequently will allow preparing the crews and technical personnel in the full range to perform the tasks as far as theoretical knowledge and practical skills are concerned. Replacing real exercises by training held in a virtual environment is expected to contribute to a decrease in costs to be incurred by Police and enhanced safety for any persons participating in the actions remaining the subject of the said trainings. The article presents the design assumptions that arise, among other things, from multidisciplinary research performed over the determination of the detailed training needs and equipment requirements with regards to the Full Flight Simulator. The said research was conducted in collaboration with the officers of the Police Aviation Board in the High Command of the Police Headquarters as well as the operators of the counter terrorism sub-units of Polish Police Forces.

Analiza potrzeb szkoleniowych załóg policyjnych śmigłowców wielozadaniowych Black Hawk S70i służących w polskiej Policji stała się impulsem do podjęcia próby budowy systemu symulacyjnego w ramach projektu badawczo-rozwojowego finansowanego przez Narodowe Centrum Badań i Rozwoju pt. „Symulator Śmigłowcowy Lotnictwa Policyjnego”, składającego się z trzech komponentów, tj. stanowiska szkoleniowego dla pilota (kokpit), stanowiska dla ładowacza, stanowiska szkoleniowego dla policjantów ćwiczących operacje zrzutu. Symulator powinien umożliwić przećwiczenie różnych sytuacji awaryjnych, co w rezultacie pozwoli na przygotowanie załóg i personelu technicznego w pełnym zakresie do wykonywania zadań w zakresie wiedzy teoretycznej i umiejętności praktycznych Zastąpienie ćwiczeń rzeczywistych szkoleniami w środowisku wirtualnym przyczyni się do zmniejszenia kosztów ponoszonych przez Policję oraz zwiększenia bezpieczeństwa osób uczestniczących w działaniach pozostających w zakresie przedmiotowym tych szkoleń. W artykule przedstawiono założenia projektowe wynikające m.in. z interdyscyplinarnych badań nad określeniem szczegółowych potrzeb szkoleniowych i wymagań sprzętowych w odniesieniu do pełnego symulatora lotu. Badania te zostały przeprowadzone we współpracy z funkcjonariuszami Zarządu Lotnictwa Policji w Komendzie Głównej Policji oraz operatorami pododdziałów antyterrorystycznych polskiej Policji.
