            <description><![CDATA[Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a visual Lean Manufacturing tool for graphically illustrating material and information flows in processes, on production lines, and even across a factory. It makes it possible to identify activities that do not generate added value, and thereby creates opportunities for improvement by reducing or completely eliminating waste. This paper explores a real-work case study of the production process for an air handling unit. Thus, after analysing the activities undertaken in an enterprise operating in the HVAC (Heating Ventillation Air Conditioning) industry, a current state map was drawn that shows the actual flow of the value stream. Then, a future state map was developed with suggestions for eliminating the root causes of waste and those for improving processes. The proposed improvements allow for shorter lead time and faster order processing, which may increase competitiveness.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The chapter discusses selected standard parameters for the safety of a building structure, which include reliability, serviceability and durability. The current Eurocodes in Poland formulate the concept of reliability for the period from the design concept to the end of the intended service life. Hence, the reliability of the structure is influenced by factors related to the stage of investment preparation, design works, execution as well as the use and maintenance of the facility. The Eurocodes formulate otherwise obvious requirements as to the qualifications of engineering and labor staff, supervision and quality control of the implementation of design and construction works, the requirement to use materials compliant with the applicable standards, and proper maintenance of the facility and use in accordance with the assumptions. Such requirements were not formulated in previously binding standards. According to the author, the appearance of such provisions should be treated as a direct assumption of high standards.The issue of the value of service loads and the accuracy of their mapping was discussed. Attention was also paid to the problem of significant complexity of the climatic load patterns. The Ultimate and Serviceability Limit States are explained. In terms of impacts, the issue of their value and possible calculation schemes was raised. In terms of materials - concrete and steel, the general research and relationships between the most important strength properties are discussed.The issue of geometric dimensional deviations and the method of their adoption were also discussed, with particular emphasis on the reinforcement cover at the design and execution stage.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steels are susceptible to the pitting in aggressive chloride environments. One of the possible ways for the influence of their corrosion behavior is the use of inhibitors as the chemical modification of the environment. The resistance of AISI 316Ti stainless steel to the pitting with/without the inorganic inhibitor was tested by two independent corrosion tests: 24-hours exposure immersion and potentiodynamic polarization test. Both tests were carried out in 1M chloride acidic solution with/without 0.1M molybdate inhibitor at room temperature. Results of immersion tests were evaluated by the corrosion rates calculated from corrosion losses and by the morphology of the pitting. Potentiodynamic polarization curves were evaluated by the pitting potentials.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The need to save energy, as well as the constant tightening of regulations regarding thermal protection of buildings force the need to look for solutions increasing the thermal performance of building envelopes. One of the important issues in this regard is the appropriate thermal insulation of usable attics. Currently, two layers of mineral wool are most often used - one between the rafters and the other under the rafters. Recently, an alternative solution has emerged, namely PIR (polyisocyanurate) foam over-rafter roof insulation systems. The aim of the article is to assess the legitimacy of using this new method of roof slope insulation. Appropriate conclusions were formulated on the basis of the technical and economic analysis of PIR foam parameters and other insulation materials, and a case study in which one of the actual implementations of the over-rafter insulation was analyzed. It was found that the use of PIR panels as the external insulation of roof slopes gives benefits primarily in terms of improving the quality of thermal insulation works. The over-rafter system is easier to implement than the classical solution (fewer possibilities of assembly errors), and above all, it minimizes thermal bridges. In addition, PIR has a better thermal conductivity than mineral wool, which reduces the necessary insulation thickness, and the possibility of condensation inside the envelope and cold air infiltration is also limited. The barrier to the use of this solution is currently primarily the high price of PIR roof panels, but as shown, the benefits associated with improving the quality of insulation are taken into account and encourage investors to choose such a solution.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The heating sector, which accounts for half of the EU’s final energy consumption, still relies heavily on fossil fuels. This results in the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere. For this reason, the European Union has, for several years, been pursuing a climate and energy policy which, in the area of district heating, is intended to make it more efficient and sustainable. This means introducing low-carbon technologies and reducing fossil fuel consumption in favour of renewable energy sources. Modern efficient district heating systems should guarantee a reliable heat supply while reducing environmental impact. The article discusses the main factors important for the sustainable development of district heating. The potential and importance of the heating sector in the European Union member states was presented. Then, the factors affecting the development of this sector are shown and the directions of transformation of district heating systems with the use of renewable energy sources are discussed. It also presents the current structure of fuels consumed by the district heating sector in Europe and its projected development with the use of high-efficiency cogeneration and various renewable energy sources.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Recently, there has been a large development of photovoltaics in Poland and in the world. This work shows how the energy profit of a high-power photovoltaic farm changes with the change of the angle of inclination of the panels on the example of a PV power plant project in the Siemiatycze districtin the Podlaskie Voivodeship. In order to verify the energy gain, measurements were made in the PVSyst program for panels with a power of 600 Wp, the spacing of 10 m or 6 m for angles from 20 ° to 25 °. Based on the analysis, the results were obtained, which indicate that with an increase in the angle of inclination in the studied range of angles, the annual production of energy by power plants increases. The difference between the production for the angle of 20 ° and the angle of 25 ° is 1010 MWh, which means profits higher by almost 1% per year. on the basis of the selected row spacing and angle, an analysis was carried out, which shows that the average amount of energy generated in a 140 MW installation will be approximately 149 246 MWh. The article also contains an analysis of losses which are generated during the work of PV panels.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Intermodal transport has been one of the most supported forms of transport in the programs of EU transport policy and national conceptions of the policy. The effects of this support is still limited. By 2030 it is expected to improve the competitive position of intermodal transport in mature markets with innovation and technological progress and organizational. Intermodal transport market in Poland is a young market, which is characterized by a small, but steady growth. An increase in this type of transport in the overall transport of goods, but the share of intermodal transport performance in freight transport performance in Poland amounts to less than 5 % (the highest percentage of intermodal freight services characterized by foreign shipowners FTP sea - about 14 %). In this article, the author analyzes the current conditions shaping the intermodal transport market, and defines the areas in which it is necessary to implement changes and innovations that enable the sustainable development of the intermodal market in Poland. The strategic objective of the development of intermodal transport in Poland is to create favorable conditions for the technical, legal, organizational, economic and financial implications for the dynamic development of the intermodal transport system, so that their share of rail transport in 2020 reached the average level of the European Union in 2000, such as 10-15 % in terms of tonnage. (Tomasz Szmid 2012) The condition of the available infrastructure and various instruments, including financial ones, ensuring increased availability of intermodal services are also of decisive importance.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Technology Transfer concerns the process for conceiving and implementing a new/novel application for an existing technology. It includes a range of formal and informal cooperation between technology developers and technology seekers. It is understood on different levels (e.g. technology policy, individual scientists). Technology transfer and industrial linkage can expand opportunities for education and it can lead to new sources of the research support. Analysis of the best practices on the technology transfer management including public universities have been presented in the paper.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The functioning of an enterprise in times of the market (and international) economy is exposed to various types of mechanisms which may change the scope of an operation. While an entrepreneur can predict certain symptoms of a change, e.g. in law, trends, etc., there may be situations that cannot be fully foreseen. Change management is now an important part of the management field. Adapting to the changing reality makes the company adjusts to changing circumstances, which means it has a better chance to survive or gain a competitive advantage. In this paper the issues related to occupational risk management in a crisis in enterprises related to the COVID-19 pandemic will be discussed.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Currently, research on materials containing magnetic magnetic particles give opportunity to the prepare and study of composites with interesting magnetic features. One possibility for producing such materials is the use of fillers with magnetic properties. The final properties of such composites depend mainly on characteristic polymer matrix. However, the addition of magnetic materials arose use of new technologies. Such builders include the magnetic ferrites. Metal hexaferrites represent well researched group of magnetic materials (Mallick, 1993). Their high values of magnetocrystalline anisotropy and saturation magnetization enable widespread application of these materials as permanent magnets. Low price and excellent chemical stability with suitable magnetic characteristics classified ferrites to one of the most important magnetic materials (Rigbi, 1988).The experimental material used was a composite formed by combining a polymer matrix (linear polyethylene HDPE), and the hard-magnetic strontium ferrite labeled FD 160S as a filler. Composites with different filler contents were prepared from the starting materials. The dependence of viscosity on the content of ferrite filler was determined by rheological measurements.]]></description>
