The Impact of Inclusive Leadership on Employees' Innovative Behaviors in Chinese Internet Technology Companies: The Mediating Role of Error Management Climate and Self-Efficacy
Authors:   Korean Academy of Leadership, Yuan Hao , Li Yannan , Zheng Junyi
Published: September 2022

Covid-19 represents a challenge for digital globalization and the digital transformation of economies. In particular, IT companies are more desperate for innovation than ever before. Inclusive leadership is based on the concept of "fully inclusive and Participation" attracting attention as a leader capable of inducing innovative behavior. And it can adapt to the independent needs of new generation employees. Currently, a large amount of literature studies inclusive leadership and its direct impact on employees' innovative behaviors. However, few studies have explored the internal mechanism of action between inclusive leadership and innovative behavior. This study investigates how inclusive leadership influences employees' innovative behavior through error management climate and self-efficacy. Taking error management climate and self-efficacy as intermediary variables, the author constructs a theoretical, conceptual model of the dual-path mechanism of inclusive leadership on employees' innovative behavior based on multiple mediating variables. The author conducts an online questionnaire survey of on-the-job employees of Chinese Internet technology companies and adopts SPSS21.0 and AMOS 24.0 to carry out an empirical analysis of the questionnaire survey data. The result shows that inclusive leadership has a significant positive impact on employees' innovative behavior, error management climate, and self-efficacy. Meanwhile, error management climate and self-efficacy also reflect the intermediary effect in the relationship between inclusive leadership and employee innovative behavior.
Psychosocial and Educational Rehabilitation of Post-War Countries
Authors: Jusko P. , Mulija O.
Published: September 2022

War conflict, its preparation, course and termination is a socially threatening continuum that requires the commitment and coordination of the entire society. Experiencing a war conflict leaves a significant impact on a person's physical, psychological and social health, even long after the end of war operations. However, it is not only about individual problems and the subsequent individual efforts to solve them, but also about the whole of society. If the military conflict takes place in a culturally diversified environment, then post-war rehabilitation also requires respect for cultural diversity. Therefore, post-war reconstruction plans must include not only the solution to the psychosocial consequences of the war, but also the rehabilitation of the entire society, in which education has a key position.

Authors: Kilikova M. , Hulkova V. , Sabova A.
Published: September 2022

Objective: The aim of our study was to determine the impact of smoking addiction on nurses on their work performance and economic and time-varying consequences. Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: The sample consisted of 381 nurses who worked in hospitals in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Methods: The data were collected through non-standardized questionnaires in the period July 2020-March 2021. The questionnaires were prepared in 3 versions according to the target sample for which they were intended.Results: The financial loss caused by smoking during the working hours costs employer EUR 862.50 per smoking nurse per year and the time lost due to smoking takes up to 15 working days every year. Conclusion: Managers are not interested in time lost due to smoking during working hours. Management's lack of interest or their indifferent attitude is alarming. Nurse managers should begin to perceive nurses' smoking as a limiting factor in nurses' work performance, given the shorter time devoted to the provision of nursing care.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Due to demographic trends, caring for dementia sufferers is the subject of research by multidisciplinary research teams. In this paper, we declare the importance of increasing the knowledge, skills and competence of formal caregivers as a predictor of the quality of institutional care provided for dementia sufferers. Material and methods: In the presented study, we determine the subjective assessment of the level of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of formal caregivers in relation to the care of dementia sufferers. The research involved 46 formal caregivers in two specialist facilities that provide health and social care to dementia sufferers. In order to meet the objectives, we have chosen a quantitative method using a non-standard questionnaire of our own design. Results: We found that the questionnaire respondents positively assess their previous knowledge and practical skills in providing nursing care to dementia sufferers, yet declare an interest in continuing education. Conclusion: Preparation and implementation of continuing education of formal caregivers is the active part played by an educational institution in relation to the improvement of the quality of care provided to dementia sufferers and at the same time it is evidence of the link between theory and practice in professionally oriented study programs reflecting the currently expected demographic trends in society.
Aspects of the Level of Digitisation in Medical Care in Germany: Development of a Typology
Authors: Renger F. , Czirfusz A.
Published: September 2022

Introduction. Today, most people own smartphones, which fit into their pockets and are more powerful than the first supercomputers, and which they can use to communicate, stream music or measure their pulse. There is no end in sight to this rapid technological development. This also applies to the rapidly growing volume of health-related data. Objectives: In doctor’s practices, medical data, such as medical history, blood test results and diagnostic findings, are recorded directly in the computer system. In biomedical research entire genomes, for example those of malignant tumors, are sequenced almost routinely and are also stored and processed electronically. And, more and more people are themselves using smartphone apps, wearables and in future perhaps also implanted biosensors for continuously measuring their blood pressure, blood sugar levels and pulse. Methodology: In qualitative social research, there are only a few approaches that involve a detailed explanation and systematization of the typology process. As the concept of type is of central importance for qualitative social research, it is crucial to clarify the concept and the process of typology, as presented by Kluge in her essay published in the FQM (Forum for Qualitative Social Research). In the evaluation of secondary data from the KBV (National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians), the methodology of this approach is based on the procedure of typology development according to Kluge (2000), with the aim of demonstrating a systematic and transparent development of types and typologies in the digitization process.
The Ukrainian War’s Impact on Food Security
Authors: Costello M. M.
Published: September 2022

The war in Ukraine is causing problematic disruptions far beyond the country’s national borders. Black Sea shipping routes have been disrupted to the extent the Ukrainian grain exports are being kept from global markets, thereby jeopardizing food security in some regions of the world. Introduction. As the war in Ukraine approaches its sixth month, the conflict appears to be threatening the supply of grain to several other nations, thereby endangering international food supplies. The disruption to Black Sea shipping routes as a result of the armed conflict not only hinders Ukrainian grain exports to other nations, but also impedes storage capacity for harvested grains since lack of exporting capability means silos remain full and unable to accept newer harvests. Discussion. Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General, has warned that the war in Ukraine will worsen food, energy and economic crises in poor countries (Bankova et al, 2022). “It threatens to tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity followed by malnutrition, mass hunger and famine, in a crisis that could last for years (ibid)” Guterres said.

Purpose: The purpose of this monitoring was to learn about the oral health status of Romani minority in Slovakia. The children were educated in oral health, as was expected that the dental status of the children would improve with the increased level of knowledge about dental health. Materials and methods: Romani children were regularly educated from 2010 to 2015. In 2010 and 2015 Romani children aged 5 to 14 were examined in the Spis Region, Slovakia. Dental cariosity was expressed by the DMFT (decayed, missing, filled teeth) and DMFT index for permanent and temporary teeth, respectively. Parents were asked in 2015 whether they utilize free preventive oral care for their children. Results: In 2010, the average DMFT of all examined children was 1.11 ± 1.45 and DMFT 6.53 ± 3.57. In 2015, the average DMFT of all examined children was 1.81 ± 2.29 and DMFT 3.94 ± 4.19. 12 year old children in 2015 had DMFT 2.12 ± 2.19; permanent teeth of 35.1% of them were intact.                                                             In total, only 30.3% of asked parents visit dentists for preventive oral care of their children.                                                             In the villages with a segregated Romani community only 7.1% of parents visit dentists for preventive check-up of their children whereas in the villages with integrated Romani Community it is 51.1%.

Authors: Stangova E. , Levicka J. , Ochabova E. , Vacekova M.
Published: September 2022

Starting points: People with disabilities face daily obstacles that do not allow them to integrate adequately into society. Health disadvantage itself is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, which carries with it several specificities. Social inclusion is a phenomenon that is still present in the academic world than in society itself. A specific part of inclusion is precisely the participation of people with disabilities in sporting activities. Although sport can be understood as the most beautiful means of inclusion of people with disabilities, it is here that we can observe shortcomings in participation in sport. Very little attention is paid to the management of sport of persons with disabilities and their support from society is at a minimum. We chose this issue precisely because of the increase in the interest of people with disabilities in sports activities. Methods: The study analyzes sport as a means of inclusion of people with disabilities in society. We carried out the research in qualitative design and as a method of data collection we chose a semi-structured interview, which we conducted with 9 informants between October 2021 and March 2022. We analyzed the results of our research was to find out what sport brings to the lives of people with disabilities and to find out in what areas sport has enriched the lives of people with disabilities. Results & conclusions: Based on our findings, we can conclude that people with disabilities reflect the changes that occurred in their lives after they started active sports. Through sport, they managed to improve not only their physical condition, but also brought positive changes to them by sport in the fields of mental and social. Our research also confirmed the positive impact of sport on the autonomy of people with health disadvantages.

The mobility of using LNG is based on its advantages as a substituent fuel for gasoline and diesel, where LNG has low emission properties. The process of mobilizing the distribution of LNG has the potential for accidents when it takes place. The study was conducted to determine the hazards that can occur and the safe distance for evacuation in the event of a leak using ALOHA simulation. The research process is carried out by studying literature, collecting data, determining the month and time of release, and continuing with a simulation of the existing data. The data analysis technique was carried out by determining the tank temperature and water dispersion model at 31 SPBG. Fireball simulation results at 8:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m, and 10:00 p.m have safe distances at 812 meters, 812 meters, and 815 meters. Fire column simulation results at 8:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m, and 10:00 p.m have safe distances at 29 meters, 29 meters, and 28 meters. Vapor cloud simulation results at 8:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m, and 10:00 p.m have Lower Explosive Limits (LEL) at 169 meters, 160 meters, and 243 meters. Thus the ALOHA simulation can represent the safe distance of evacuation and scenarios in the event of an accident.

Published: September 2022

Sungai Itik Village is located in Sungai Kakap District, Kubu Raya Regency, directly visiting Pontianak City. However, the people in Itik Village have not yet enjoyed clean water from the local water company. So that the surrounding community uses clean water sourced from rainwater or drilled wells. However, the condition of the well water is not yet suitable for use. At the As-Siddiqiyah Islamic Boarding School, it has drilled wells with a flow rate of 30 liters/minute and does not need to be sucked up with a water pump in flat, level conditions. However, the condition of the water still contains a lot of Fe2+ ions, has a metallic smell and color. This drilled well water is very possible as raw water to be processed and used as drinking water that can be consumed by the community around the Islamic boarding school. The Student Creativity Program Team of the Faculty of Engineering provides air purification solutions with the Aeration, Sedimentation and Filtration methods contributing to the local community, especially for students at Islamic Boarding Schools. The results of laboratory tests on drilled well water at the As-Siddiqiyah Islamic Boarding School show that raw water that has been treated through water treatment equipment is suitable for daily activities and does not cause health problems. The provision and management of clean water is left entirely to the students in Islamic boarding schools to maintain the continuity and maintenance of the availability of clean water.

Published: September 2022

Water from dug wells is one of the sources of clean water used by the community both in villages and cities. Groundwater consumed by the community must have quality in accordance with the specified requirements. One of the important parameters is the presence of Escherichia coli bacteria (E.coli). The aims of this study is to identify the presence of Escherichia coli bacteria in dug well. In addition, to determine the correlation between the distance of the pollutant source (cowshed and septic tank) and the well. The analytical method used is univariate descriptive method and quantitative analysis. The results showed from 7 wells that were used as research objects, there were 4 wells positive for E. Coli bacteria and 3 wells were negative for E. Coli bacteria. The correlation value test showed that the pollutant source from cowshed had a coefficient of determination of R 2 = 0.911 or 91.1% which means that there is a strong relationship between the presence of E.Coli bacteria in the well and cow dung. As for the pollutant source from the septic tank, the results of the correlation test show the value of R 2 = 0.201 or 20.1% which means that the relationship between the presence of E. Coli bacteria and the septic tank is not strong. Septic tanks construction that conform to standards are one of the factors that cause dug well water quality to remain protected from pollutants.

This study was conducted to see the effect of size and freshness variations of organic waste on BSF growth. The research was conducted on laboratory-scale research at campus of Pasundan University and field-scale research on Pojok Kang Pisman at Bandung City-hall. In laboratory-scale research, the organic waste used is artificial organic waste whose composition is close to organic waste from market. Meanwhile in field-scale research, the organic waste used is from market organic waste. Variations in pretreatment were carried out by varying the organic waste size and freshness in laboratory-scale research and comparison in order of chopping and fermentation of organic waste in various cocopeat thickness in field-scale research. Maggot/BSF growth analysis was carried out by calculating the waste reduction index, Efficiency of Conversion Digested Feed, survival rate, and maggot protein tests. The results of the laboratory study showed that the smaller the size of the waste influenced increasing the WRI, SR and ECD values but had little effect on the protein content of the larvae. The protein content of larvae is suitable for chicken feed (19-21%). However, when the waste was fermented, there was a significant increase in WRI and SR, and the protein content of the larvae increased (32-34%), suitable for tilapia and catfish feed. Field research results with higher larval density in fermented waste resulted in higher WRI and ECD values compared to laboratory results with lower larval density. In addition, the treatment of chop-fermentation and fermentation-chopped sequences gave different water content values ​​which affected the WRI and ECD values. The higher the water content, the lower the WRI and ECD values. The protein content of larvae in the field study was almost the same as in the laboratory study, ranging from (31-34%).

COVID-19 and Its Derivatives- A relation with light for health
Authors: Faramawy Samaa , Reda Sameh
Published: September 2022

Light now has many applications in life and plays a vital role in therapeutic and protective fields. In the recent era, many light sources are considered for prevention, sterilization, and curing, especially with artificial lamps. Since the coronavirus pandemic appeared in 2019, the world has been interested in sterilization by light rays from a physical and applied point of view. In this work, the authors focus on definite spectral bands and their direct effects on the current COVID-19 pandemic for a prevention spreading purpose.
According to the light use results, until now, the most useful method for decontamination against COVID-19 is ultraviolet C. The other spectral bands like UVA, UVB, and violet-blue show that they have a more negligible effect on the deactivation of the COVID-19 virus. The UVA and UVB help increase vitamin D in the human body, reflecting positively on the immunity system and increasing the recovery rate. The violet-blue band is helpful in decontamination against bacteria microorganisms. As for the IR band, the studies are still recent, and until now, there is no recommendation to use this band in sterilization against this pandemic. Studies continued on UV utilization because the world urgently needs industrial and domestic disinfection systems and sterilization. The other bands have another substantial practical effect on health improvement so any people can survive and overcome different diseases.

Honey has been used in ancient times as a treatment. It is used for healing wounds and also can be used as antiseptic to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. The aim of this study was to examine the activity of honey as a bactericidal and bacteriostatic and to measure the most active compounds of honey with highly bacterial inhibition zone using HPLC technique. In this experiment and the honey was used to check whether the honey can be used as an antimicrobial agent or not. First by well diffusion method is done by adding different concentrations of honey (25, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, microliter). Th results showed a little inhibition zone for the three types of honey but in different size for each type. The industrial honey showed the largest effect. Different concentrations were used (10 %, 30 % 50%). The antibiotic sensitivity was applied, the result showed only two resistant antibiotics (Azithromycin and Erythromycin). The concentration of Catalase, Amylase, Invertase, Glucose oxidase in honey tested by HPLC and showed the concentration of each substance cons of catalase = (32877 ÷ 170253 ) x 20 = 3.862 u/ml; cons of amylase = (136985 ÷ 180849) x 20 = 15.149 u/ml; cons of Invertase = (58466  ÷ 193624) x 20 = 6.039 u/ml; cons of glucose peroxide = (105204 ÷ 163245) x 20 =12.889 u/ml. Moreover, the presence of gluconic acid ‘Organic acid’ gives the honey its acidic characteristic which is about 3.2 pH.

Authors: Kukla Mateusz , Rachel Maksymilian
Published: September 2022

The aim of this paper was to create a computational model that will enable the evaluation of the operation of a conventional inertia accumulator. This is an issue that is relevant as storage of energy is becoming increasingly important, in particular when it comes to generating electricity from renewable sources. In the course of the conducted works, an analytical model was developed based on the available literature, and then, it was introduced into the environment for numerical calculations. Four variants resulting from different geometrical parameters of the flywheel were adopted successively. On this basis, a series of simulations were performed, which allowed for obtaining the characteristics of the analysed solutions. As a consequence, a number of characteristics related to the mechanical power and energy of the simulated kinetic energy accumulators were obtained. The test results therefore provide a basis for comparing kinetic energy accumulators with different geometries and drive solutions.
Experimental and Numerical Investigations and Optimisation of Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel Mechanical Cutting Process
Authors: Patyk Radosław , Bohdal Łukasz , Gontarz Szymon
Published: September 2022

The process of mechanical cutting of magnetic materials has many advantages in the form of high efficiency with reduced process costs in relation to other cutting technologies; no thermal stresses in the material, which significantly deteriorate the magnetic properties; or the possibility of shaping materials taking into account long cutting lines. In industrial practice, it is very difficult to ensure appropriate conditions for the cutting process and its proper control. Currently, there are no data on the selection of technological parameters of the mechanical shear slitting process of grain-oriented silicon steel in terms of the obtained cutting surface quality and the obtained magnetic properties of the workpiece. The article presents the possibilities of forecasting the characteristic features of the cut edge and selected magnetic properties of grain-oriented silicon steel. For this purpose, proprietary numerical models using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) were used. Then, experimental studies were carried out, and the optimisation task was developed. The developed results enable the correct selection of technological parameters of the process, ensuring the appropriate quality of the cut edge of steel and minimal interference with the magnetic properties.

A simpler method to get only the true solutions of cubic and quartic equations using Tschirnhaus transformation
Authors: Kulkarni Raghavendra G.
Published: September 2022

The classic method of solving the cubic and the quartic equations using Tschirnhaus transformation yields true as well as false solutions. Recently some papers on this topic are published, in which methods are given to get only the true solutions of cubic and quartic equations. However these methods have some limitations. In this paper the author presents a method of solving cubic and quartic equations using Tschirnhaus transformation, which yields only the true solutions. The proposed method is much simpler than the methods published earlier.

Authors: Rogalski Jakub Krzysztof , Subdys Aleksandra , Gawlik-Kotelnicka Oliwia Ewa
Published: September 2022

Introduction:Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is a term for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) that highlights its association with components of the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). MAFLD is becoming a clinically significant problem due to its increasing role in the pathogenesis of cryptogenic cirrhosis of the liver.

Material and methods:The resulting work is a review of the most important information on the risk of MAFLD development in the context of the use of particular groups of psychotropic drugs. The study presents the epidemiology, with particular emphasis on the population of psychiatric patients, pathophysiology and scientific reports analyzing the effect of the psychotropic medications on MAFLD development.

Results:The drugs that can have the greatest impact on the development of MAFLD are atypical antipsychotics, especially olanzapine, and mood stabilizers (MS) - valproic acid (VPA). Their effect is indirect, mainly through dysregulation of organism’s carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

Conclusions:The population of psychiatric patients is particularly vulnerable to the development of MAFLD. At the root of this disorder lies the specificity of mental disorders, improper dietary habits, low level of physical activity and tendency to addictions. Also, the negative impact of the psychotropic drugs on the systemic metabolism indirectly contributes to the development of MAFLD. In order to prevent fatty liver disease, it is necessary to monitor metabolic and liver parameters regularly, and patients should be screened by ultrasound examination of the liver. There are also important preventive actions from the medical professionals, including education of patients and sensitizing to healthy lifestyle.

Drug addiction is a common phenomenon that increases with the progress of the European integration process. Professional help to people addicted and under the influence of drugs or other psychoactive substances should be provided primarily by health care institutions. An important and interesting issue seems to be the assessment of how people who have the most frequent contact with addicts are prepared to provide help, what is their knowledge and attitude to the phenomenon of drug addiction and to people addicted to psychoactive substances. The material for the research was a questionnaire for people who have contact and / or work professionally with people addicted to psychoactive substances. A total number of 253 people who had professional contact with people addicted to psychoactive substances were examined, including 102 men and 151 women. The respondents most often acquired knowledge in the field of drug addiction through the mass media. The exception is the professional group of doctors, which was the only one to refer to professional literature. Contact with drug addicts was not worried by 68.6% of doctors, 68.4% of policemen, 45.9% of nurses and only 39.0% of teachers. Fear may be caused mainly by possible aggressive behavior, which is feared by 49.8% of the respondents, including 58.3% of women and 37.2% of men. When it comes to 90.1% of respondents, they believe that the cause of aggression is the lack of control over their emotions. The results of the work can be helpful in creating new, satisfying solutions to difficult situations and developing cooperation characterized by empathy and acceptance.

Natural and forest-rich ecosystems are determinants of environmental sustainability, which are threatened by forest land conversion for agricultural purposes, especially in less-developed contexts. Moreover, human behaviour is central to achieving the much desired ecologically balanced environment. Hence, a partly novel model informed by the theory of planned behaviour was used in the examination of forest land conversion for agricultural purposes.

The study design was a cross-sectional survey targeted at a group of farmers of southwestern Nigeria. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire among 320 randomly selected crop farmers. Independent samples t test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the significance of difference in respondents' forest conversion behaviour across subgroups of gender and age/education, respectively. Stepwise multiple linear regression was used to identify the determinants of forest conversion behaviour.

Results showed that 87.8% of respondents had ever engaged in forest conversion. Gender and education had no significant effect on forest conversion behaviour (p > 0.05), but age did (p < 0.05). Attitude was the best determinant (β = 0.289, r = 0.510, R
2 = 0.260, p < 0.001), subjective norm was better (β = 0.257, r = 0.496, R
2 = 0.055, p < 0.001), while perceived behavioural control was good (β = 0.131, r = 0.398, p < 0.001, R
2 = 0.012, p < 0.005). The three variables correlated with intention by a degree of 57.2% (multiple R = 0.572), while they explained 32.7% of the variance in intention (R
2 =0.327). Intention was also found to be a significant determinant of behaviour (β = 0.222, r = 0.222, R
2 = 0.049, p < 0.001).

Middle age predisposes to, whereas younger and older age protects against greater extent of forest conversion. The partly novel model derived from the theory of planned behaviour proves the likely viability of the pursuit of socio-psychologically predicated interventions to enthrone forest conservation.
Comparative studies of the macro- and microstructures of stump-root wood and stemwood

It is found that the existing problem of wood resources can be partially solved by attracting additional reserves, in particular, stump-root wood (SRW). In order to apply SRW in woodworking and to fill the scientific base with indicators of the macro- and microstructures of the stump-root systems of individual species, studies were carried out on the main characteristics that are decisive for using composite materials in the industrial production. Based on the study results, it was found that there are differences in the internal structure between SRW and stemwood (SW). It was found that in all species, the width of annual rings in the SRW was greater than that in the SW, in particular, in pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) – by 84.62%; in spruce (Picea abies Karst.) – by 73.68%; in fir (Abies alba) – by 93.75%; in aspen (Populus tremula L.) – by 35.71% and in birch (Betula pendula Roth.) – by 105.00%. It has been found that the content of late wood in the SRW of coniferous tree species is less than that in the SW, on average by 20–25%, and the number of annual rings per 1 cm in the SRW is 40–52% less than in the SW. Differences in the microscopic structure between SRW and SW are revealed, which consist in the difference in the size of tracheids in softwoods and of vessels and fibres of libriform in hardwoods. It was found that the transverse dimensions of early tracheids in the SRW were larger than in the SW, in particular, in the radial direction by 19–33% and in the tangential direction by no more than 15%, and the interval of dimensions in the radial direction was 1.5–2.5. It was found that the early tracheids of root wood had thinner walls (by 19–28%) and a larger internal cavity (by 15–25%) compared to similar elements of SW. It was revealed that the diameters of vessels and fibres of libriform in SRW are greater than in SW, in particular, in aspen (Populus tremula L.) – by 20.41% for vessels and by 12.95% for libriform fibres and in birch (Betula pendula Roth.) – by 20.69% for vessels and by 18.41% for libriform fibres. The practical significance of the studies lies in the fact that the obtained characteristics of the structural components of the SRW can be used to predict the strength indicators of composite materials.

The aim of the study was to identify the influence of different widths and cardinal directions of felled corridors on the condition and mensuration characteristics of the English oak trees planted there during the conversion of low-value young stands using the corridor method. The study was carried out in oak forests in the forest-steppe zone at a permanent sample plot. The experiment included the conversion of a low-value 8-year-old stand to improve its species composition. The sample plots were laid out in a fertile hardwood forest site. The conversion was realised by felling corridors of various widths (6, 9 and 12 m) and directions and planting English oak trees (Quercus robur L.) within them in rows. For the planted oaks, tending felling was carried out three times: weeding (8 years), cleaning (13 years) and thinning (32 years). A comparative analysis of mensuration characteristics (average height, diameter, growing stock, radial increment, health condition, etc.) was carried out for 32-year-old oak trees grown in the corridors and a part of a low-value stand in the unfelled strips after the tending felling. It was found that the average height and diameter at breast height of oaks in the 6, 9 and 12 m wide corridors of different cardinal directions did not differ significantly. The difference in oak stocks within 6 and 9 m wide corridors of different cardinal directions was also insignificant. The stock differences were statistically significant for 6 and 12 m wide corridors as well as for 9 and 12 m wide ones. The article made recommendations on the width of felled corridors and unfelled strips to effectively convert low-value young stands by the corridor method.
Comparison of vascular plants in herb layers of ecotones in urban and non-urban forests in Brzesko city (Polish Carpathian foreland)

Nowadays, human influence is more noticeable in urban and non-urban ecosystems, which, in turn, leads to the transformation of valuable natural resources. This article presents a study on the diversity of species composition of the vascular herb layer species of ecotones in selected urban forests of the city of Brzesko and in forests outside the city. All forests represented the association of oak–hornbeam plant. The results showed that there are inconsistent and consistent vascular plant species with the Tilio-Carpinetum habitat in urban and non-urban forests. Plant species were significantly (c2 test, p < 0.05) found more frequently in the herb layer of non-urban forests than in urban forests. This proves, among other things, that the influence of anthropogenic activity is more on these objects than in forests outside the city.
