The article presents identification of problems during the implementation of Lean concept in small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland. Although the Lean methodology is recognized all over the world as one of the best and most effective ways to improve the functioning of enterprises, in Polish conditions exist serious problems with its implementation. Development of small and medium-sized enterprises is regarded as one of the measures of economic growth and a sign of healthy competition. The needs of the economy and the limited resources characterizing this enterprise sector imply the need to adjust its capacities to the requirements of the turbulent environment. In the analysis of problems there were used the results of questionnaire surveys conducted among representatives of the companies participating in the largest Lean conference in Central Europe.

In Poland, since 1985 when the matura exam in mathematics was no longer compulsory, low-level of math skills and poor learning results have been constantly talked about. The academic community warned that young people were massively avoiding the technical, mathematical fields of study and fields with mathematics as a compulsory subject. We are seeing a constantly decreasing level of mathematical knowledge of first-year students, and sometimes even their ignorance of the elementary issues, basic concepts or an awkwardness in performing calculations. The situation would radically change after the reintroduction of the compulsory matura exam in mathematics in 2010. This article presents the results of the evaluation of the mathematical competence of students (who were obliged to pass the matura exam in mathematics). The evaluation was carried out every year at the beginning of the first year of the economic undergraduate studies during 2012-2014. We have analyzed the level of mathematical competence in the area of knowledge and skills over the subsequent years as well as the knowledge of selected content from the core curriculum of mathematics taught in upper-secondary schools.

The attitudes of the numerous Bulgarian emigrants, scattered across the continents, to our language and to his use abroad are of particular importance for the Bulgarian state and language policy regarding emigration. The two questionnaires were conducted among the Bulgarian emigrant community in Sydney, Australia on one side and worldwide (where the answers came from) on the other side. In this report are commented the results of both questionnaires. Only those answers that reflect the attitudes of today’s emigrants to the use of their native Bulgarian language in daily communication and their willingness to participate in Bulgarian education abroad of their children are analyzed here. The characteristics of the attitudes of Bulgarian emigrants to their native language and Bulgarian education abroad are valuable in terms of the future work of Bulgarian linguistics and Bulgarian governmental institutions. Their main priority should be the delay of the process of forgetting the Bulgarian language from the generations.

The deterioration of the general investment climate, the economic recession, and changes in consumption patterns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have forced various foreign investors to restrict or suspend investments. One of the possible reactions by investors to the coronavirus crisis is divestment. This article aimed at detecting and analysing the regularities between the risk of foreign divestment in various industry branches and the destinations of FDIs at the level of NUTS 1 macroregions of the Visegrad Group countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, using correspondence analysis. The results of the assessment of the risk of foreign divestment in NUTS 1 macroregions of the Visegrad Group countries are characterised by diversity in terms of territorial and sectoral layout, depending on the analysed scenario of the COVID-19 pandemic development. It is hard to clearly indicate a macroregion which, irrespective of the scale of the spread of the disease, could be perceived by foreign investors as invariably highly risky or characterised by a constantly low risk of divestment.

Wstęp: W 2013 r. w Polsce funkcjonowało 36 państwowych wyższych szkół zawodowych. W każdej z tych uczelni istnieje biblioteka, jako niezbędny element procesu kształcenia na poziomie wyższym. Cel badania: Celem niniejszego opracowania jest próba scharakteryzowania bibliotek uczelnianych, funkcjonujących od początków istnienia państwowych wyższych szkół zawodowych w Polsce. Materiał i metody: Podstawową metodą była analiza badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych wśród 20 bibliotek, które odpowiedziały na ankietę (na 36 istniejących). Kwestionariusz ankiety zawierał pytania zarówno zamknięte, jak i otwarte. Badaniem objęto kilka wytypowanych autorsko sfer działalności bibliotek oraz wybrane wskaźniki funkcjonalności. Wyniki: Większość badanych bibliotek współużytkuje przestrzeń biblioteczną z innymi jednostkami uczelni. Przeważa powierzchnia użytkowa do 1000 m2 a magazynowa do 100 tys. wol. Wszystkie biblioteki umożliwiają wolny dostęp do półek; 12 prowadzi ośrodki informacji naukowej. Wykorzystanie domowych stron internetowych w celu komunikacji z czytelnikiem nie jest jeszcze powszechne. W 13 bibliotekach są utworzone formalnie działy, ale w żadnej z nich nie wyznaczono ich kierowników. Tylko w 3 bibliotekach powołano zastępcę dyrektora. Porównanie wskaźników funkcjonalności wykazało, że biblioteki PWSZ lokują się blisko bibliotek akademickich, natomiast w porównaniu do bibliotek uczelni prywatnych uzyskują wyniki często wyższe. Wnioski: Biblioteki PWSZ tworzą specyficzną sieć bibliotek uczelnianych, realizując przy tym podobne zadania i na podobnym poziomie jak większość bibliotek akademickich w Polsce. O ich specyfice świadczy mniej rozbudowana struktura organizacyjna, mniejsze powierzchnie i magazyny oraz nieautonomiczny budżet realizowany z poziomu centralnego uczelni.

Introduction: At present there are 36 state higher vocational schools in Poland. Each of them hosts a library, which is an indispensable element of the process of higher education. Aim of the study: The purpose of the study is to outline a characteristics of the academic libraries which have been functioning since the beginnings of state higher vocational schools in Poland. Material and methods: The basic method used was an analysis of a survey of 20 libraries that had responded to the survey (out of the 36 existing ones). The questionnaire contained both closed and open questions. The study included several self-chosen library activity areas and a few selected functionality indicators. Results: Most of the libraries surveyed share space with other university units. The prevailing use area is up to 100 thousand m2, with the storage area being up to 100 thousand volumes. All the libraries provide free access to shelves; 12 of them run science information centres. Using Internet home pages with a view to communicating with a reader is still not common. Formally, 13 libraries have created special departments , but none has had heads of the departments appointed. Only 3 libraries have had deputy directors appointed. A functionality indicator comparison has demonstrated that state higher vocational school libraries are very close to public university libraries; when compared to private university libraries, however, their results are very often higher. Conclusions: State higher vocational school libraries form a specific network of university libraries and fulfil similar tasks at the same time and at the same level as most academic libraries in Poland. Their specifics is indicated by less extensive organizational structure, smaller use and storage areas as well as non-autonomous budget implemented from the central level of a university.

ObjectivesIn the Czech Republic, an outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID‑19) has been decelerated by quickly adopting strict and strongly limiting government measures. In this study, the authors present the preliminary results (April 1–5, 2020) of a public risk perception study of COVID‑19.Material and MethodsThe online questionnaire survey was announced in the national TV and radio stations with the nationwide coverage. Respondents were recruited through the website of the University of Ostrava during the first 5 days of the survey (N = 7966). The data covered risk perception with a focus on physical and psychological aspects, the current socio-economic situation and adaptation to the lockdown. The authors used Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, as well as ordered logistic regression, with a significance level of 5% using STATA version 15.ResultsFrom the total sample of the respondents aged 40 years on average (a range of 15–87 years), the present study shows that women (p < 0.001) and elderly people (p < 0.001) perceived the health risk related to COVID‑19 as significantly worse than others. Older people (>60 years) perceived their mental health as significantly better than younger participants (p < 0.001). Most of the respondents assessed the adopted measures as adequate (71%) and believed in their effectiveness (69.7%).ConclusionsThis study contributes to understanding the risk perception as a public response to the COVID‑19 pandemic.

ObjectivesThe article presents the results of selected pilot studies conducted in medical ambulances. Their aim was to determine the working conditions and identify troublesome factors accompanying the performance of basic medical procedures by rescue teams.Material and MethodsThe study of working conditions was carried out in Mercedes-Benz ambulances, type S and P. Fifty-one paramedics of the Emergency Medical Rescue Service in Siedlce took part in the research. The questionnaire expert survey method and the direct observation method were used.ResultsAs a result of the applied research methods, knowledge was gained on the irregularities and difficulties that occur at the workplace of a paramedic, i.e., in an ambulance, including the lack of access to essential elements of medical equipment and their different location inside the vehicle, and the diversity of solutions for the spatial structure of ambulances, which all cause difficulties at work. Research has shown that paramedics take, on average, 33 min to familiarize themselves with the location of equipment in an ambulance other than the one in which they are usually on duty. There was no correlation between the lifeguard’s length of service and the time necessary for getting acquainted with the equipment, which was studied using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. In the study, rescuers also pointed to musculoskeletal ailments, mainly spinal pains resulting from taking forced positions during medical activities in an ambulance.ConclusionsThe results obtained constitute the basis for the author’s methodology of complex research aimed at defining the ergonomic recommendations necessary in the modification process of the operated medical fleet. The next step will be to formulate uniform guidelines for the construction of medical compartments of ambulances, the application of which will lead to the unification of their spatial structure regardless of the vehicle brand.

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential association between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters. Material and Methods Data were collected among Cypriot firefighters through a battery of adapted questionnaires completed anonymously. Results A total of 430 firefighters (a response rate of 68%) completed the survey (the age range: 21–60 years). A total of 11% of firefighters reported moderate to extremely severe stress through the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. A total of 40% of firefighters reported musculoskeletal symptoms, the most frequent being back pain. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models showed that occupational stress was associated with a 50% higher risk of musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters after adjusting for age, smoking and obesity (OR = 1.52, p = 0.04). In addition, a positive dose-response relationship was found between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms. Conclusions Occupational stress constitutes a significant risk for firefighters and is associated with higher prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms at work.

The article is aimed at bringing information on the scope and the level of use of talent management by organizations in one of the Czech Republic regions, in the Moravian-Silesian Region. On the basis of data acquired by a questionnaire survey it has been found out that organizations in the above-mentioned region are implementing the system of talent management on a small scale: this approach is used by 3.8% of organizations only that is 9 from 237 (100 %) of the approached respondents. The main reasons why this approach is not used is either that organizations have no knowledge of it or there is lack of financial and personnel resources. Recommendations suggested by the author can be found useful for a wider application of talent management in the Czech practice.

Introduction: The study aimed at determination of the usefulness of the subjective assessment of selected signs of fungi growth in flats and microclimate parameters to indicate the actual air contamination with culturable fungi, (1→3)-β-D-glucans and fungal spores. Material and methods: This analysis covered 22 flats, the inhabitants of which declared in a questionnaire interview the presence of the developed mycelium on solid surfaces in the flat. Air samples for determination of the culturable fungi, (1→3)-β-D-glucans and (viable and non-viable) fungal spores concentrations indoor and outdoor the flats during the heating period were collected. During bioaerosol sampling microclimate parameters were measured. Predictive models for concentrations of the tested biological agents with regard to various ways to assess fungal contamination of air in a flat (on the basis of a questionnaire or a questionnaire and microclimate measurements) were built. Results: The arithmetic means of temperature, relative humidity, CO₂ concentration and air flow velocity in the flats were respectively: 20.5°C, 53%, 1431.6 ppm and 0 m/s. The geometric mean concentrations of airborne fungi, (1→3)-β-D-glucans and fungal spores in these premises amounted to 2.9×10² cfu/m³, 1.6 ng/m³ and 5.7×10³ spores/m³, respectively. The subjective assessment of fungi growth signs and microclimate characteristics were moderately useful for evaluation of the actual airborne fungi and (1→3)-β-D-glucan concentrations (maximum percent of explained variance (VE) = 61% and 67%, respectively), and less useful in evaluation of the actual fungal spore concentrations (VE < 29%). In the case of fungi, higher usefulness was indicated of the questionnaire evaluation supported by microclimate measurements (VE = 61.2%), as compared to the evaluation only by means of a questionnaire (VE = 46.9%). Conclusions: Subjective evaluation of fungi growth signs in flats, separately or combined with microclimate measurements, appeared to be moderately useful for quantitative evaluation of the actual air contamination with fungi and their derivatives, but more extensive studies are needed to strengthen those findings.

Seafood consumption in Poland is regularly increasing, although it still remains at a relatively low level compared to the consumption of fi sh and their products. The aim of the study was to obtain information on the frequency of seafood consumption and purchasing preferences among consumer groups in both a large and a small urban center, taking into account not only the place of residence, but also respondents’ age and gender. The study was attended by 204 people (50 men and 154 women). A survey questionnaire verifi ed in a pilot survey was used as a research tool. The research was carried out in a small (approx. 4,000 inhabitants) and a large (approx. 400,000 inhabitants) urban center on consumers going in and out of shops. A factor that signifi cantly infl uenced all the studied characteristics and purchasing preferences was the respondents’ age. The respondents’ gender signifi cantly infl uenced the recognition of diff erent seafood types, the place of consumption and the motivation for purchase. The size of the place of residence was the least infl uential factor in the study. There is a strong need to inform Polish consumers about seafood and the possibility of its consumption

Spożycie owoców morza w Polsce regularnie wzrasta, aczkolwiek nadal jest na niskim poziomie w odniesieniu do spożycia ryb i ich przetworów. Celem niniejszej pracy było uzyskanie informacji na temat częstotliwości spożycia oraz preferencji nabywczych dotyczących owoców morza wśród grup konsumenckich dużego i małego ośrodka miejskiego, biorąc pod uwagę – oprócz wielkości miejsca zamieszkania – również wiek oraz płeć ankietowanych. W badaniu wzięły udział 204 osoby, w tym 50 mężczyzn oraz 154 kobiety. Narzędziem badawczym był autorski kwestionariusz wywiadu zweryfi kowany w badaniu próbnym. Badanie przeprowadzono w małym (ok. 4 tys. mieszkańców) i dużym (ok. 400 tys. mieszkańców) ośrodku miejskim wśród konsumentów dokonujących zakupów. Wiek respondentów był czynnikiem istotnie wpływającym na wszystkie badane cechy i preferencje nabywcze. Płeć respondentów istotnie wpływała na rozpoznawalność rodzajów owoców morza, miejsce ich spożycia oraz motywacje do zakupu. Wielkość miejsca zamieszkania była najmniej istotną cechą w badaniach. Istnieje silna potrzeba popularyzacji wiedzy dotyczącej owoców morza i możliwości ich spożycia wśród polskich konsumentów.

In the article, attention has been focused on the concepts of “competitiveness” and “volitional quality”. We have described the content, motivational, emotional and volitional, operational components, within the limits of which the structure of competitiveness of the future doctors and pharmacists is determined at the presence of information technology competence (IT competence) formed during teaching the disciplines of naturally scientific training. The volitional qualities, what the future specialists develop and show in the process of formation of IT competence during teaching the disciplines of naturally scientific training, have been systematized. We have come to the conclusion that volitional qualities of the future doctors and pharmacists, which develop in the process of formation of IT competence during teaching the disciplines of naturally scientific training, should be divided into four groups, i.e. by spatial, time, energy and information parameters. The method of evaluation of levels of volitional qualities of the future doctors and pharmacists on condition of acquisition IT competence by them during teaching the disciplines of naturally scientific training has been offered, which provides the questionnaire survey of subjects of educational process with the use the formulated questions and implementation of algorithm of evaluation of its results with the use of the appropriate statistical methods. The high, middle, satisfactory and low (unsatisfactory) levels of volitional qualities, which develop at the future specialists in the process of formation of IT competence during teaching the disciplines of naturally scientific training, have been described. We have come to the conclusions on the levels of volitional qualities for each of participants of research as the results of the questionnaire survey. The results of the questionnaire survey with the use of statistical methods and the proper algorithm have been estimated. It has been found out, that the process of formation of IT competence during teaching the disciplines of naturally scientific training with the use of the developed manuals allows the future specialists to develop their volitional qualities effectively.
