Stone baptismal fonts, today often serving as stoups, are the best preserved elements of the medieval appointments of many historic churches in Żuławy Wiślane. Originally, they were probably placed near the entrance to the church, which symbolized the beginning of the Christian’s path to salvation, a transition from the profanum to the sacrum, and inclusion within the community of the faithful. For security reasons, baptismal fonts were surrounded by decorative grilles and closed with special covers, of which metal pins in the edge of the bowl have often survived to this day. Despite the simple, functional design and material (granite) that is difficult to work, many of them have simple decorative elements, the symbolism of which refers in particular to the meaning of the numbers 6, 8, and 12, and, less often, to apocalyptic motifs in the form of the 12 gates of the heavenly Jerusalem.

The present paper deals with an EOQ model for deteriorating items with time-dependent exponential demand rate and partial backlogging. Shortages are allowed and completely backlogged in this model. The backlogging rate of unsatisfied demand is assumed as a function of waiting time. The concept of penalty cost is introduced in the proposed model because there are many perishable products that do not deteriorate for some period of time and after that period they continuously deteriorate and lose their values. This loss can be incurred as penalty cost to the wholesalers/retailers. In any business organization, the penalty cost has an important role for special types of seasonal products and short life products. Therefore, the total cost of the product can be reduced by maximizing the demand rate and minimizing the penalty cost during a given period of time. The purpose of our study is to optimise the total variable inventory cost. A numerical example is also given to show the applicability of the developed model.

Two single-item, deterministic, continuous, finite horizon inventory models having no shortage have been considered. A demand rate function, which is relatively general, for the item has been assumed. In the first model, units of the item do not deteriorate; while in the second units deteriorate in a constant fraction rate. Some optimality conditions are shown for the models. Based on these properties, single variable search methods have been described to obtain globally optimal solutions. Numerical experiments indicate that the methods yield acceptable solutions within small time and are suitable for practical applications.

Most for-profit organisations must constantly improve their business strategies and approaches to remain competitive. Many of them choose to embark on Lean or Six Sigma journeys with the intention of maximising productivity and increasing sales. Despite a significant progress in the development of the Big 3 Improvement Methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints - TOC), many manufacturers are still involved in ineffective operations, resulting in longer-than-desired lead times, late deliveries, high inventories and considerable operational costs. All of these business errors seriously challenge the company's competitiveness. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the importance of effective analysis of maintaining the appropriate level of inventory in gaining a competitive advantage of the company using the company's key resources in the competitive struggle on the market while conducting continuous reporting of reasons for not achieving the assumed business goals, and using the principles of the economy of bandwidth in order to maximize the profitability.

This article examines how the UNESCO International Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003) is appropriated by the political and scientific bodies, which are responsible for organizing this inventory in their country with their own methodology (as UNESCO gives the liberty to choose the methodology for inventorying their intangible heritage). This reflection is based on the example of the inventorization of intangible cultural heritage coordinated in Aquitaine (France) since 2010, which highlights issues regarding researcher commitment, ethics, and the systemic view of cultural practices. In addition, the new digital collection tools are emphasized as „transcription of reality” and allow the recording, dissemination and valorisation of this heritage. Thus the modeling of intangible heritage inventorisation deserves to be explored in order to understand the heuristic issues surrounding these inventories, which are not only a simple application of a UNESCO legal instrument.

Textual Standardization of Rural Inventories in 17th Century occurred in the process of official language communication during the inspection of royal land manors, which was conducted between 16th and 18th centuries. The repetitiveness and stability of structure of this process of language communication, and the official conceptualization of inventoried stock, as well as the inspectors’ intention to be communicative, shaped the 17th-century standard inventory, which consisted of stable textual components, i.e. official terminology, parallel syntactic structures, initializing and finishing formulae, and composition of text, which conformed to the universal accounting formula used for tax purposes: revenue – cost = income under taxation. The constitutive unit of this structure, which for practical purposes reduced description of listed objects, is a categorizing inventory including groups of people, properties, objects, and sources of income in money and in kind. The 17th-century rural inventory, as a textual pattern embedded in the language consciousness of state officials and reinforced legally by treasury instructions, cumulates the uniform and repetitive forms of official language, and approaches the modern form of inventory, which prefers tabular and form-based approaches.

The aim of the study was to develop and validate a standardized inventory assessing the mental health of young adults. The originality of the proposed approach lies in the fact that the inventory refers to both the positive and negative dimension of mental health. 405 students were examined, including 292 women and 113 men. When assessing the accuracy of the newly created instrument, the covariance of its results with the results of other tools measuring mental health or its aspects: General Health Questionnaire GHQ-28; Questionnaire for Quality of Life Assessment WHOQL-BREF; Questionnaire of Life Orientation by A. Antonowsky was assessed. Additionally, the covariance of personality traits defined by the Big Five Model as well as a temperamental dimensions of Regulative Temperament Theory was assessed. An analysis of the factor structure of the questionnaire was also performed. Although the results of the factor analysis indicate a unidimensional structure of the IZP, the correlation between its two dimensions equals -0.65. In addition, there was a correlation between both the positive dimension of mental health and negative health with neuroticism and emotional reactivity. The results of analyzes of personality and temperamental measures with data obtained using the Mental Health Inventory suggest the utility of the tool in the assessment of mental health indicators in both negative and positive aspect.

A preserved register of items is an interesting and valuable source for research into everyday life of the 18th century nobility. The mentioned toys helped children to imitate everyday life activities as accurately as possible. Despite the fact that the items are a part of the magnate’s inventory, many of them showed signs of wear and tear while some were completely destroyed. The toys were often used but no particular attention was paid to regular repairs thereof. In the preserved source materials, we can easily find items for boys like military-related toys and play-horse heads on sticks. The typically girlish items included mostly dolls, dressed in costumes following the latest fashion. An interesting collection of toys consists of items that imitated various genre scenes, the nature of which may indicate the origin of the items. They created a miniature world, corresponding to the activities observed in everyday life. Unfortunately, the laconic nature of many entries in the register does not allow for more extended research based on the specific features of the items on the list. The problem of the representation of toys in the world of noble things requires an in-depth study of the preserved source materials, in order to recognize the specificity of this type of objects.

The aim of the research was to create a Foreign Language Anxiety Inventory in the Polish language intended for adolescent and adult students. The items of the Inventory were formulated on the basis of the definition, components, sources and manifestations of language anxiety. The data was collected from 113 Polish students of humanities. Foreign languages learned by the participants were English, French, German and Russian. A principal components analysis with varimax rotation was performed on the responses to 60 items of Foreign Language Anxiety Inventory. The analysis identified five following factors explaining 57% of the variance in the data: speaking and self-image, formal evaluation of foreign language proficiency, feeling incompetent, avoidance of learning and physiological reactions together with nervous behaviour. The values of Cronbach α coefficient for the identified five factors ranged between 0.85 and 0.95. The Inventory can serve as a research tool in diagnostic and experimental research.

An inventory system of two mutually substitutable items has been studied where an item is out of stock, demand for it is met by the other item and any part of demand not met due to unavailability of the other item is lost. In the event of substitution, there is an additional cost of substitution involved for each unit of the substituted item. The demands are assumed to be deterministic and constant. Items are ordered jointly in each ordering cycle, in order to take advantage of joint replenishment. The problem is formulated and a solution procedure is suggested to determine the optimal ordering quantities that minimize the total inventory cost. The critical value of the substitution rate is defined to help in deciding the optimal value of decision parameters. Extensive numerical experimentation is carried out, which shows that prior knowledge of the critical value of the substitution rate helps to minimize the total inventory cost. Sensitivity analysis is carried out for the improvement in the optimal total cost with substitution as compared to the case without substitution to draw insights into the behaviour of the model.

The Potocki of Krzeszowice Family Archive held in the National Archives in Krakow contains an inventory of kontush sashes compiled by Krystyna Potocka née Tyszkiewicz (1866-1952). The collection was created by Katarzyna Potocka née Branicka, the wife of Adam (1825-1907), for her son Andrzej. Many sashes came from family possessions; others were gifts from friends or purchases from antique dealers. The collection was first sketchily described by Katarzyna Potocka herself, and then in years 1898-1904 by Andrzej Potocki's wife Krystyna. It was she who compiled a kind of an inventory, with 133 entries written on 135 wide-lined pages of a notebook, one page dedicated to each sash. The description accurately depicts characteristic features of the items, with notes on their size, make, colours, decoration and the state of preservation. Signatures have been meticulously copied and some entries are even accompanied by drawings of the most interesting details, placed besides the signatures.

The first historically confirmed records of the library of Szczyrzyc monastery are from the time of abbot Joahim I Cieniawski (1592-1607). Among the 40 titles of books recorded during the visitation in 1597 was: six antiphonals, eight missals, five psalters, four graduals, two copies of the Bible, homiliarz, kolektarz, the life of St. Stanislaus bishop and martyr, the St. Benedict’s rule and also Liber Definitorum, which is the book of the resolution of the General Chapters of the Cistercian. The first catalogue of books was made in 1755 and was entitled Cathalogus librorum Monasterij Ciricensis iuxta alphabetum authorum mense Augusto Anno Domini 1755. Conscriptus. It is a pity that only two initials cards including a list of books within the letter “A” were preserved until modern times. Three nineteenth century inventories provide full knowledge about this collection of books taking into account the title of a book, the author’s name, the description of a book (place and year of publication) and format of a book. The person who wrote the book made their thematic segregation. Undoubtedly the number of books, titles and in particular the authors demonstrate the need and the importance which the Szczyrzyc monastery given to the books which reading had to help the monk in his pilgrimage to God.

Industry 4.0 is the result of the development of cyber-physical generation systems as a part of the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 sets new areas for change in the sphere of production and management but also influences various aspects of society. Industry 4.0 is focused on continuous im-provement of production processes. This is a turnaround in the production control methodology, as the growing expectations of customers in the modern market cause, along with the increase in production efficiency, customisation of the product. In this trend, the customer decides about the product, person-alising it as much as possible and in the best possible way. These are new challenges in the field of inventory management. The article aims to present a method of calculating the optimal amount of the cost of a rotating stock in a production enterprise with an unevenly distributed demand, which is the case with personalised orders

Barter exchange has been growing in popularity during the coronavirus pandemic. This article considers bartering introduced to the newsvendor model with multiplicative demand. The objective of the model is to specify the order quantity and retail price to maximize the expected profit. We distinguish cases with the co-movement of prices of exchanged products and without it. In the first case, we calculate a precise optimal solution to the problem. In the latter case, we prove the existence of an optimal solution and give the conditions under which it is unique. We examine the sensitivity analysis of the results which is illustrated in numerical examples. The analysis revealed that the greater the commission, the lower the optimal profit. We make a conclusion that barter exchange can help the retailer to improve the profit.

There is a growing trend of information sharing within modern supply chains. This trend is mainly stimulated by recent developments in information technology and the increasing awareness that accurate and timely information helps firms cope with volatile and uncertain business conditions. We model a periodic-review, single-item, capacitated stochastic inventory system, where a supply chain member has the ability to obtain advance capacity information (‘ACI’) about future supply capacity availability. ACI is used to reduce the uncertainty of future supply and thus enables the decision-maker to make better ordering decisions. We develop an easily applicable heuristic based on insights gained from an analysis of the optimal policy. In a numerical study we quantify the benefits of ACI and compare the performance of the proposed heuristic with the optimal performance. We illustrate the conditions in which the procedure is working well and comment on its practical applicability.
