Arquitectura compleja precerámica y arte en tránsito a Chavín
Authors: Bueno Mendoza Alberto
Published: December 2020

Cuando estudiamos la arqueología y el arte de la Galgada lo hacemos con mucha simpatía hacia las culturas antiguas del Perú, porque se denota un entramado vital muy activo, tanto en las concepciones arquitectónicas muy técnicas y monumentales, como en la plasmación de sentimientos refi nados cere-moniosos en los interiores de los recintos con nichitos trapezoides parietales, la banqueta corrida en los segmentos inferiores de los paramentos internos, el metafórico horno – fogón céntrico en los pisos de los templos, etc., que connotan una época sentida de calma y sosiego apta para alcanzar la impasibilidad ritual o mística lejos de las difi cultades de la vida diaria. Además, obliga a prepararnos para conocer el arte pre – Chavín de la Galgada plasmado en textiles pintados, huesos tallados, valvas de moluscos labrados pulidos fi namente, piedras esculpidas, petroglifos figurativos y geométricos, etc., que representan diferentes esferas y expresiones gráfi cas conducentes a sus signifi cados.En este sentido, el simbolismo como tendencia artística convertida en ideas, confronta una categoría esti-lística enfrentada a la realidad empírica que busca en la tierra y en el aire un mundo de ideas diferentes consideradas como textos gráfi cos, los cuáles se encuentran en tránsito al convencionalismo metafórico simbolista del nuevo estilo de arte llamado Chavín.

Gaining from books is an unremarkable and latent cycle. The content and images in the books are most certainly not interactive; this prompts the basic barricades to learning looked by students, for example, constraints in comprehending the hypothetical ideas, absence of explanatory, basic reasoning. These detours are overwhelmed by computerized books, however paper-based books are frequently favored over computerized books due to their adaptability and portability. In this paper, we present a remarkable arrangement that utilizes augmented reality to make the learning measure more interactive and fascinating. The application when focused on text or image shows significant 3-dimensional(3D) model or video on the smart phone screen. The application gives some assistance to the students by encouraging them to learn new ideas utilizing graphical guide.

Cosmetic Translation Competence – A Theoretical Model and Implications for Translator Training
Authors: Piecychna Beata
Published: December 2020

In the last decade, cosmetic translation has become increasingly significant as the beauty and cosmetic industry has grown exponentially across the globe. The expansion of international cosmetic brands in many countries around the world necessitates commissioning competent, well-prepared translators, who are able to handle translation problems typical of various types of cosmetic translation, both specialized and those requiring skills specific to a more creative rendition. The main objective of this paper is to discuss a novel theoretical model of cosmetic translation competence, a type of translation which has so far not gained much popularity among translation scholars. The first part of this article offers a concise state of the art of the concept translation competence. Capitalizing on models of translation competence developed by PACTE (Process in the Acquisition of Translation Competence and Evaluation), TransComp and EMT (European Master’s in Translation), an original model of cosmetic translation competence is presented along with its sub-competencies. The second part of this article focuses on implications for teaching cosmetic translation. The paper concludes with general remarks pertaining to avenues for future research into cosmetic translation competence and its acquisition.
Individualism in the United States in the 19th Century in Terms of Sociolinguistics on the Example of Works by R. W. Emerson and H. D. Thoreau
Authors: Podlecka Natalia
Published: December 2020

Individualism is today a part of the American identity. Due to the short history of the U.S. the American people were in need to create their own customs and traditions. That is why there are manifold philosophical and political writings involving the characteristics of an American and views on ideal versions of the young country. However different those views may be, there are motifs that repeatedly occur over time and individualism is one of the most popular themes. This research discusses the involvement of two representatives of the Transcendental Movement in the U.S., Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, in the formation of American ethos. The study is based on the analysis of the essay "Self-Reliance" by Emerson and fragments of Thoreau's book Walden and his essay "Civil Disobedience". Not only is the substance of the texts is analysed, but also the vocabulary choices and their possible consequences.
Wykorzystanie techniki swobodnych tekstów C. Freineta dla wspomagania rozwoju mowy i myślenia w języku obcym u studentów neofilologii
Authors: Aleksander Zdzisław
Published: December 2020

In everyday practice, the university has a task of shaping the intellect and developing the mental culture of students. The creative and active character of a person's personality is manifested and shaped in the process of exteriorization and expression. Based on the concept of language and thinking, attention should be paid to the particular importance of verbal expression. The basis here is the hypothesis that thought is realized in a word. As we develop a language, we also increase opportunities for externalization and improvement of thought. The article emphasizes values of verbal expression and its role in the personal experience and assimilation of the world, in shaping creative attitudes. The author recommends linking creative work of neophilology students to the mastery of a foreign language with the formation of their intellect and humanistic attitudes. Such conditions enabling, on the one hand, the improvement and enrichment of language skills and, on the other hand, free expression of one's thoughts are created by learning based on the technique of free text developed by French educator C. Freinet. The article shows how the technique of free text can not only be an auxiliary element, but can become a starting point and crucial issue in the work on the practical mastery of a foreign language and intellectual development of students, as well as how to anchor the improvement of language skills in intelligence, dynamics and expression of future language teachers.

Sola Gratia Melihat dari Status Manusia di Hadapan Allah, Karya Penebusan Kristus, dan Anugerah yang Mendahului Keselamatan
Authors: Bangun Josapat , Harefa Juliman
Published: December 2020

Hingga saat ini, masih ada pandangan sekelompok orang Kristen yang menganggap bahwa manusia diselamatkan tidak hanya oleh karena anugerah Tuhan semata. Alasan menolak keselamatan sepenuhnya adalah anugerah disebabkan karena mereka percaya bahwa manusia memiliki kemampuan dan kebebasan untuk menentukan sendiri apakah menerima atau menolak keselamatan yang ditawarkan Tuhan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan bagaimana manusia berdosa bisa diselamatkan berdasarkan anugerah melalui karya penebusan Kristus. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah mengunakan analisis teks dan kajian pustaka. Artikel ini mendeskripsikan bagaimana dosa telah mencemari seluruh aspek kehidupan manusia sehingga tidak memiliki kebaikan yang dapat menyelamatkan dirinya. Kebebasan yang diberikan oleh Tuhan kepada manusia sekarang telah terbelenggu oleh dosa sehingga manusia tidak mempunyai kemampuan untuk memilih dan menentukan keselamatannya. Berdasarkan hasil analisis teks dan kajian pustaka, ternyata manusia diselamatkan oleh rahmat serta anugerah Allah yang menyediakan jalan keluar dari masalah dosa dengan cara yang paling memuaskan tuntutan keadilan, kebenaran, dan kesucian Allah melalui dan di dalam karya penebusan Kristus. Karya penebusan Kristus merupakan sebuah anugerah kepada manusia berdosa berdasarkan rahmat dan kasih karunia yang melimpah. Manusia berdosa sebelum diselamatkan sudah terlebih dahulu menerima anugerah Allah dalam berbagai bentuk dan cara sampai akhirnya dia diselamatkan. Sola gratia menyatakan tiadanya andil kebaikan dan usaha yang disumbangkan oleh manusia yang mengakibatkan dia diselamatkan.

Authors:   Department of Chemistry, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, P.M.B. 5047, Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, Marcus AC
Published: December 2020

Dried leaves of Annona muricata and Cucumbita maxima were extracted using chloroform, methanol and hexane solvents. The extracts were analysed for phytoconstituents using standard procedures. A preliminary test was also carried out on the anti-bacterial properties of the different solvent extracts against S. aureus, V. cholera and E. coli. Phytochemical analysis of Annona muricata and Cucumbita maxima showed the presence of alkaloids, fats and oil, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids and proteins. However, glycosides were not detected in any of the plant extracts and coumarins were not detected in A. muricata and flavonoids were not detected Cucumbita maxima. The growth of S. aureus was inhibited in chloroform and hexane extracts of A muricata and hexane and methanol extract of C. maxima. The growth of V. cholera was inhibited to varying degrees by the extracts from all the solvents, while E. coli was only inhibited in hexane extracts of both plants. The results observed revealed that both plants can serve useful purposes in traditional medicine and can be harnessed for scientific design in drug synthesis and production. Keywords: Phytochemicals, screening, solvent extracts, Annona muricata and Cucumbita maxima, anti-bacterial
Media społecznościowe jako źródło informacji bibliograficznej w naukach humanistycznych. Komunikat z badań.
Authors: Tafiłowski Piotr
Published: December 2020

CEL/TEZA: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników pilotażowego badania dotyczącego pewnych elementów zachowań informacyjnych humanistów, pracowników naukowych polskich uczelni, w sieciach społecznościowych. Chodzi o wykorzystywanie ich jako źródła informacji bibliograficznej w zakresie nowych publikacji we własnej dyscyplinie. KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Pilotażowe badanie sondażowe tego typu zachowań informacyjnych przeprowadzone zostało w maju 2016 r. za pomocą ankiety udostępnionej na Facebooku i skierowanej do polskich badaczy humanistyki lub nauk społecznych. Przeprowadzono także wyszukiwanie artykułów zagranicznych poświęconych tej problematyce, by przedstawić światowy stan badań tej problematyki i na tym tle zarysować sytuację w Polsce. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Badacze zagraniczni zgodni są co do tego, że korzystanie przez naukowców z mediów społecznościowych zwiększa liczbę cytowań oraz podnosi ogólny wpływ społeczny akademików aktywnie korzystających z tej formy popularyzacji. Wyniki badania sondażowego przeprowadzonego wśród badaczy polskich pokazały, że coraz chętniej korzystają oni z mediów społecznościowych poszukując informacji oraz tworząc sieci kontaktów. Nadal jednak możliwości oferowane przez nowe nowe media nie są w pełni wykorzystywane.ORYGNALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: W Polsce nie prowadzono dotychczas badań nad tą formą nieformalnych zachowań komunikacyjnych pracowników wyższych uczelni.
Technologia cyfrowa w muzeach narracyjnych na przykładzie Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego i Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich POLIN
Authors: Zachara Teresa
Published: December 2020

CEL/TEZA: Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań, których celem było ustalenie zakresu i sposobów wykorzystywania technologii cyfrowej przez dwa znane polskie muzea narracyjne: Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego (MPW) i Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich POLIN (Muzeum POLIN). KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: W przedstawionych studiach wykorzystano trzy techniki badawcze: analizę źródeł, która pozwoliła na zorientowanie się w zmieniającej się roli muzeów oraz wykorzystywanie przez te placówki technologii cyfrowej; wizję lokalną i wywiad z pracownikami Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego i Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich POLIN, które pozwoliły na zapoznanie się z zastosowanymi w tych placówkach elementami technologii cyfrowej; analizę stron internetowych wspomnianych dwóch muzeów. Triangulacja tych technik umożliwiła przedstawienie systematycznego przeglądu zastosowań różnych narzędzi i metod technologii cyfrowej w różnych obszarach i formach działalności wybranych muzeów. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Badania pozwoliły stwierdzić, że wdrażanie w muzeach technologii cyfrowej jest procesem długotrwałym i dalekim od zakończenia, choćby z uwagi na pojawiające się ciągle nowe rozwiązania technologiczne. Polskie muzea obecnie nie wykorzystują wszystkich możliwości technologii cyfrowej, ale z uwagi na rosnące wymagania zwiedzających będą zapewne zmuszone do wdrożenia najnowocześniejszych rozwiązań. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Artykuł prezentuje dziewięć obszarów działalności muzeów, w których można wykorzystać technologię cyfrową. Stanowi skrócone kompendium informacji z tej dziedziny wiedzy i praktyki, zilustrowane przykładami zastosowań poszczególnych technologii i narzędzi w dwóch muzeach poddanych analizie.
Wzmocnione publikacje: nowy model wsparcia komunikacji naukowej
Authors: Kędzierska Edyta
Published: December 2020

CEL/TEZA: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie koncepcji wzmocnionych publikacji (ang. enhanced publications), które to mogą mieć wpływ na polepszenie i zoptymalizowanie komunikacji naukowej. W zmocnione publikacje są złożonymi obiektami cyfrowymi zawierającymi publikacje w formie standardowych książek, artykułów, raportów oraz powiązane z nimi dodatkowe elementy takie jak: surowe dane badawcze, nagrania filmowe i dźwiękowe, algorytmy, plany, modele, komentarze, itp. KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Przeprowadzono badanie ankietowe wśród polskich instytucji naukowych i badawczo-rozwojowych, których celem było zbadanie poziomu znajomości i wykorzystania wzmocnionych publikacji. Scharakrteryzowano sposoby zarządzania zasobami danych badawczych: ich produkcję, przechowywanie, archiwizowanie i udostępnianie oraz określono wykorzystanie i opinie na temat modelu otwartego dostępu. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Wśród polskich instytucji badawczych tworzenie wzmocnionych publikacji jest działaniem raczej nie często realizowanym. Wprawdzie większość instytucji deklaruje stosowanie praktyki powiązywania danych badawczych z publikacjami jednak głównie dzieje się to poprzez zamieszczanie jedynie informacji o dostępie do danych źródłowych, a nie cyfrowych obiełrtów w otwartych zasobach. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Przeprowadzone badania są częścią projektu realizowanego w ramach współpracy z krajami Grupy Wyszehradzkiej, którego celem było scharakteryzowanie specyfiki komunikacji naukowej w krajach członkowskich oraz określenie kierunków rozwoju. Artykuł przybliża koncepcję wzmocnionych publikacji, które na gruncie polskim są jeszcze stosunkowo mało znane.

Authors: Muraszkiewicz Mieczysław , Rybiński Henryk , Szczepański Piotr
Published: December 2020

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to outline a practical model for discovering research collaboration networks on the basis of data and information stored in scientific digital libraries and repositories. The discovered relationships between researchers, projects, scientific institutions and other scientific entities are used for identifying collaboration networks of researchers and research institutions interested in or working on a given subject. Afterwards, such networks can be subject to various types of network analysis in order to get in-depth knowledge on the networks and their components. APPROACH/METHODS: The method adopted in the study is twofold, that is: (i) it takes into consideration the way of discovering collaboration networks by means of simple tools that have been implemented within the ΩΨR system developed at Warsaw University of Technology; (ii) it develops an outline of a formal model of research collaboration networks that takes into account the specificity of scientific digital libraries and repositories and includes the network analysis techniques for discovering knowledge residing/hidden in the networks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of the research is the outline of a formal model of research collaboration networks that includes: (i) a discovery mechanism for identifying thematically related scientists, projects, research institutions, and other scientific entities; and (ii) a set of network analysis methods for getting in-depth knowledge residing in the networks. The model is implementable and scalable in terms of functionality it offers and the network analysis techniques it includes. The model is founded on a solid ground, which is the ΩΨR system functionality to discover simple collaboration networks, and it is being used for enhancing the ΩΨR system. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The value of the research is the outline of a general research collaboration networks model that: (i) can help identify, build, and analyse research communities, and thereby increases the scope, value and impact of scientific endeavours on science and society; (ii) is used for enhancing the ΩΨR system.

WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: cyfryzacja humanistyki jest istotnym czynnikiem kształtującym indywidualną przestrzeń informacyjną. Wykorzystanie modelu IPI może ułatwić wyjaśnienie mechanizmów zmian zachodzących pod wpływem rozwoju technologii informatycznych w procesach informacyjnych. ZASTOSOWANIA PRAKTYCZNE: konstrukt IPI może być stosowany w badaniach zmian zachowań informacyjnych oraz czynników je kształtujących wśród różnych kategorii użytkowników.
An Essay on Information Overload
Authors: Muraszkiewicz Mieczysław
Published: December 2020

Purpose/thesis: Information overload, whether we realise it or not, is commonplace and affects va­rious kinds of knowledge workers and ordinary consumers of information. The purpose of the paper is to identify main sources and reasons of the information flood and information overcharge, propose a remedy complete with the method of implementing personal trophic information pyramid, infor­mation firewall and everyday filtering routines, and envisage measures that the information science could elaborate on and employ in order to help limit the information overload.Approach/methods: The author’s personal experience as a researcher and teacher at a technical uni­versity and a heavy consumer of information, informal interviews with other scholars and knowledge workers of the high-tech corporate world, and talks with students and ordinary information users supple­mented by desk research and statistics are the ground against which this essay was devised and written.Results and conclusions: The major conclusion of the reported research is that the overwhelming feeling of personal overcharge with information and some vulnerability to the information flood is commonplace regardless of the category of information consumers. However, rarely can one observe the cases of devising and implementing countermeasures to control the information flow and intake and shape conscious information users. The result of the study is a set of guidelines for individuals concerning self-protection against the information flood. The author has also discovered that the discipline of information science does not provide information users with explicit methodologies helping them to control the information intake and resist the information pollution.Originality/value: Information overload is a widely discussed topic in the international literature; however, it is virtually absent from Polish academic and scientific journals. This essay is an attempt to fill the gap in question, though to a certain degree only, and provide some recommendations for the information science concerning this issue, in particular by boosting and promoting digital literacy and awareness that information overcharge does exist and is a threat to human brains and mind.

What Is an Information Agent? Looking for a New Approach to the Subject of Information Processes
Authors: Sapa Remigiusz
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Thesis: The article opens new research opportunities by going beyond the concept of the information user and contributing to the development of a research paradigm based on the idea of information agency. It proposes a theoretical framework for a new way of thinking about the subject of information processes.Approach/Methods: This conceptual article is based on theoretical considerations and synthetic, critical analyses of the concept of the information user alongside other ideas underlying the approach proposed here.Results and conclusions: The article establishes a theoretical framework for thinking about the information agent. The information agent is seen as a dynamic, heterogeneous, multifaced and inseparable system gaining agency in specific situations and losing it in others.Originality/Value: The article presents the original concept of an information agent together with initial suggestions regarding how to apply it to, and make it operable in, empirical research.
The Relation Between the Structure of Abstracts in LIS and Anthropology Journals and Their Rank
Authors: Pulikowski Arkadiusz
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Thesis: The study determines: (1) which of the commonly expected elements of abstracts feature in library and information science (LIS) and anthropology journals; (2) whether there is a relationship between the journal rank as measured by the Impact Factor and the number of components present in the journal’s abstracts.Approach/Methods: The research had two main stages. Firstly, the scope of research was determined by selecting specific disciplines and journals. Secondly, randomly selected abstracts were analyzed to see if the key components were present. Results and conclusions: The key abstract components (background, purposes, methods, results) do not vary across the journals from both disciplines. In general, the abstracts from journals of higher rank are longer than those from journals of lower rank and have more components present. The results were proven for LIS and anthropology but the pattern may hold true for journals from other disciplines. This requires further research.Originality/Value: The study extends prior research by correlating the completeness of information included in abstracts with journal rank measured by Impact Factor.
Management of Academic Libraries in Poland During the COVID-19 Lockdown
Authors: Jaskowska Bożena
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Thesis: The article considers the management strategies employed at Polish academic libraries during a crisis situation, using the lockdown imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study. (The lockdown is defined here as the period between March 12th and June 2020). The study identifies the most significant obstacles to operating efficiently in the unstable VUCA environment. Approach/Methods: The author uses research methods of sociology, collecting data from the directors of Polish academic libraries by the means of an online survey, with the response rate approximating 30%. The survey included questions about the organization of information and library services during the lockdown, and about the management obstacles the libraries faced.Results and conclusions: The results suggest that both directors and staff of academic libraries did their best in the crisis situation. They adjusted the information and library service procedures, seeking to efficiently organize remote work, and manage the dispersed work environment. The most often mentioned management obstacles included the necessity for rapid adjustment, the impossibility of long-term planning, and the changing duties. However, the libraries implemented a number of solutions, which may serve them in the future if need be, such as rotational shifts, higher flexibility of organization, and task-oriented approach to professional duties. Practical implications: The study presents procedures to be applied in the case of another lockdown, identifies good practices, and relays the experiences of other academic libraries in order to improve information services at the reader's place of employment; it may inspire them to optimize information and library processes. Originality/Value: It is the first such study of the activity of Polish academic libraries during the lockdown. The results may contribute to discussions about the organizational flexibility of academic libraries and their capacity for adjustment, and well as about the future development or phaseout of certain areas of their activity.
Interdisciplinarity of Information Science Research: Introduction
Authors: Sosińska-Kalata Barbara
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Thesis: The article aims to present and discuss some introductory reflections on the nature of interdisciplinarity of research conducted in the field of information science and its effect on the reorganization of the institutional setting of the discipline.Approach/Methods: This is a conceptual review article based on theoretical considerations and critical analysis of the concept of interdisciplinarity and the features of interdisciplinary approaches employed in information science research and its effect on the position of information science in university structure.Results and Conclusions: The concept of interdisciplinarity is discussed with reference to two aspects of the development of science: specialization and integration. The article presents selected typologies of interdisciplinarity and discusses the changes in the perception of the concept of discipline. Interdisciplinarity has been discussed as an inherent feature of information science. The types of interdisciplinarity that best correspond to the specificity of the interdisciplinary approach used in information science research has been indicated. Referring to previous studies, the article sketches the most characteristic interdisciplinary connections of information science. In general, the review shows that apart from the permanent relationship with social sciences, in particular with library science and computer science, the relationships between information science and other disciplines are variable and quite loose. Stronger relationships are most often generated through practical activity in related disciplines, in which specialized information services are the most developed and widely used.Originality/Value: The view that information science is by its very nature an interdisciplinary field of research is common among information researchers and information professionals. Much research has been done on the interdisciplinary connections of the discipline, however, by the best author’s knowledge, few of them analyzed the specificity of interdisciplinarity of this field of research. This article attempts to initiate an in-depth discussion on this issue.
Affective Factors in Human Information Behavior: A Conceptual Analysis of Interdisciplinary Research on Information Behavior
Authors: Krakowska Monika
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Thesis: The article contains theoretical and conceptual reflection and analysis of how emotions and other affective phenomena are defined and understood in contemporary research on human information behavior. The article draws attention to the interdisciplinary nature of research into affective information activities. Approach/Methods: The reported research employs a qualitative approach, relying on critical literature review, and conceptual and thematic analysis. The analyzed material came from select publications from 2014–2020. Results and Conclusions: Information science studies the role of emotions in information behavior. However, the application of the affective paradigm remains very limited. The affective understanding of information activities should be constantly expanded on an interdisciplinary basis with reference to theories and methods of other disciplines, such as psychology. Originality/Value: The article studies the development of the theoretical affective phenomenon pa­radigm and presents the most important approaches psychology takes to emotions. By analyzing the latest trends in the study of affective information behaviors, the study joins the collaborative effort to develop an agenda providing a theoretical and practical basis for the development of interdisciplinary research within the affective paradigm.
Theoretical Bases of Critical Data Studies
Authors: Iwasiński Łukasz
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Thesis: The paper presents main premises and analyzes the theoretical bases of critical data studies (CDS). Approach/Methods: The article uses critical review of the literature on CDS, social aspects of big data, sociology of knowledge, philosophy of knowledge and science and technology studies. Results and conclusions: Author identifies three main theoretical premises of CDS: (1) A critique of market-oriented instrumental rationality; (2) Rejection of the idea that data is independent from the research process; (3) Rejection of the concept of raw data. Article discusses intellectual roots of CDS. It is argued that CDS derive from constructivist sociology of knowledge, and science and technology studies. Originality/Value: The article brings together theoretical literature and empirical studies from diverse disciplinary fields to examine theoretical bases of CDS and situates it in its intellectual context. It stresses the need of critical view of data and data processing, which is especially important in the big data area. CDS are recognized in cultural studies and media studies (however poorly discussed in related Polish scholarship), but they remain almost absent in Information Studies, which would benefit from it.
Infobrokering project management in line with the Theory of Constraints - a case study
Authors: Januszko-Szakiel Aneta , Korycińska Paloma , Dereń Aleksandra
Published: December 2020

Purpose/Thesis: The paper aims to introduce practical applications of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), developed by the Israeli physicist Eliyahu M. Goldratt. Special attention is paid to the TOC­-derived project management methodology called the Critical Chain Concept, seldom yet success­fully applied in business practice. An attempt to have TOC implemented in the management of an infobrokering project is reported.

Approach/Methods: Two methods were applied: (1) a critical review of the literature on the subject, (2) a case study for the purpose of which both a participatory and non-participatory observation was pursued, as well as a review and appraisal of the existing documentation reflecting the successive stages of the infobrokering project, along with an in-depth interview.

Results and conclusions: The case study indicates that TOC, especially the critical chain concept, boasts an appreciable potential in optimising infobrokering projects, as it allows to: (1) expose the concealed, deep-rooted, and disadvantageous routines in project implementation, (2) identify the inherent constraints in the project, not so much in terms of embarrassing errors (blunders), but rather as the non-removable events/components, axiologically indifferent, yet requiring remedial measures, (3) realise that the factors routinely deemed conducive may in fact prove the actual con­straints themselves, (4) enhance overall executive effectiveness by identifying and strengthening the weakest link in the project processes, (5) achieve improvements in the company’s performance without incurring significant expenditure.

Originality/Value: There are no published Polish studies focusing strictly on TOC in terms of infor­mation science perspective. The present paper is meant to partially address this deficit with regard to the practice of infobrokering.

The paper also specifies relevant activities and responsibilities undertaken by Member States by 2030 and the rates planned to be achieved. The experience of neighboring Poland in energy efficiency promotion is analyzed, as far as the country most closely resembles Ukraine by the initial rates in 1990. We calculated conditional losses of Ukraine in 2017 as the gap between the rates of energy efficiency of Ukraine and Poland (similarity of climate conditions and the state of housing funds allowed us to assume that the comparison will be the most correct regarding Ukraine). The results of calculations make us conclude that the funds are used most efficiently if the money designated, for example, for subsidizing of population are directed at strengthening of energy efficiency (at least up to the level of neighboring country). It will result in saving of about 40 billion. This is the amount defined as Ukrainian capacity in terms of improvement of energy saving and possible results of its realization. The paper determines the stage Ukraine is at in introduction of energy efficiency measures and programs: “warm loans” program; conditions regarding energy saving in Ukraine enshrined in the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement; creation of legal basis, namely the Law of Ukraine “On Energy Efficiency Fund” as of 8 June 2017. The role of newly created Energy Efficiency Fund is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the fact that energy efficient construction is one of international liabilities undertaken by Ukraine. The presence of The Active House Alliance at Ukrainian market is an important achievement in this sphere as it is the non-profit association aiming at creation of housing concept corresponding to the sustainable development principles.

Published: December 2020

In the process of decentralization in Ukraine, the information transparency of the management becomes important, which implies the openness and accessibility of information for all members of society. It reflects the current and perspective states of the reform process. Decentralization means not only a transferring of powers, but also financial resources and responsibilities from public authorities to local authorities. So the information publicity and transparency of the budget process should become the key indicator to estimate the effectiveness of the management of the finances of the consolidated territorial communities (CTCs). The purpose of the article is to evaluate and propose ways to increase the information publicity and transparency of the budget process at the local level. The author analyzes the implementation of the requirements of the Ukrainian legislation about informational publicity and transparency of the budget process in the CTCs of Lvivska oblast established in 2015-2017 and shows positive and negative moments in displaying of financial information on CTCs’ sites. A number of measures are proposed to increase the information publicity and transparency of the budget process at the local level. The author considers that in order to ensure publicity and transparency of the budget process in the CTCs of Lvivska oblast it is necessary: to unify and maximally simplify the mechanism of access of CTCs’ members to financial information through the standardization of the procedure for disclosure of information about the budget process; to increase the personal responsibility of the heads of the CTCs for the lack of financial information that is due to be published on the site of communities; to continuously monitor the availability and updating of information about the budget process on the CTCs’ sites in order to respond in a timely manner to the appearance of possible negative trends; to take preventive measures with the use of appropriate sanctions (fine, removal from office, etc.) in cases of delaying the submission of actual financial information to the site of CTCs, the disclosure of information in its entirety, the discovery of unreliability of financial information or other manipulations with figures or financial documents filed on CTCs’ website.

Crisis management is one of the strategically important elements for the sustainable development of agro-processing enterprises, which facilitates access to the best markets, improves business conditions and realization of the country's resource potential and strengthens the industrial relations between the divisions of the enterprise. The article reveals the essence of crisis management of agro-processing enterprises and the peculiarities of its formation in the sustainable development strategic program in the market environment. Imperfection of management decision making technologies was determined to be the reason for the emergence of crisis phenomena. The contradiction of tactical methods of providing economic stability of agro-processing enterprises in the current economic activity was found to be provoking the emergence of crisis phenomena. The main directions of reforming the mechanism of crisis management of agro-processing enterprises with the use of the advantages of multi-alternative economic models in the programming of sustainable development were determined. The mechanism of long-term programming of sustainable development in the dynamic market conditions based on the use of a business-friendly enterprise model was constructed. The analysis of alternatives of economic model development on the example of the meat processing enterprise and programming of optimal development management were conducted in order to ensure maximum profitability of the invested funds. The authors confirm that the measures of adaptation to the regional conditions of the market environment allow providing the corresponding efficiency of the product set of the enterprise. However, the lack of a new approach to crisis management with different tactical tasks in shaping the development strategy impedes the development of productive assets and reduces the efficiency of the investment process of the enterprise. The directions to enhance the system of crisis management of agro-processing enterprises were defined: development of poly-business model of development of agro-processing enterprises; introduction of long-term programming of effective development and updating of production and resource base; compliance with the norms of effective use of capital to the requirements of investment processes of Ukraine and the EU.
