Authors: Żywiołek Justyna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) within Industry 4.0 has transformed manufacturing processes, shifting from traditional automation to more collaborative AI-human partnerships. While AI promises enhanced efficiency, precision, and productivity, the success of these systems relies heavily on the trust established between human operators and AI technologies. This paper explores the critical factors influencing trust in AI-human partnerships in the manufacturing sector, emphasizing the need for transparency, accountability, and ethical AI design. Drawing on a multi-disciplinary literature review and empirical studies, we identify key drivers of trust, including human preferences for system transparency, the explainability of AI decisions, and the reliability of AI systems in dynamic production environments. Furthermore, the paper examines the challenges associated with trust-building, such as overcoming fear of job displacement and managing perceived risks of AI errors. The findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on human-centric AI design and offer practical recommendations for fostering trust to ensure successful AI-human collaboration in manufacturing settings. By transitioning from purely automated systems to collaborative partnerships, manufacturers can unlock the full potential of AI while maintaining a workforce that is confident in AI’s reliability and ethical alignment.

Abstract
The analysis of the reparation procedure of the damaged turbine diaphragm from the ironworks plant, which was subjected to wear during the long-term exploitation process, is presented in this paper. The two-thirds of the bearing volume of the turbine diaphragm, made of grey cast iron EN-GJL-150, were damaged, and its functional properties were lost. The reparation was executed by the multi-layer hard-facing process. The procedure included verification of the material’s chemical composition, mechanical properties and metallographic structure, necessary for definition of the appropriate methodology for the part’s rehabilitation. The hard-facing was executed with preheating, as well as the post-welding heat treatment, with specifically selected filler materials and all the adequate welding process parameters. The executed hard-facing procedure turned out to be the cost efficient since, as a rule, the costs of reparation did not exceed 20 % of the price of that would be paid for acquiring the new part.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In today’s competitive business environment, effectively analyzing, evaluating, and resolving product quality problems is critical to maintaining customer satisfaction, reducing financial losses, and preserving a company’s reputation. This study prioritizes internal and external quality problems in paperboard packaging using selected quality management tools. Product quality problems are categorized based on their frequency of occurrence and financial losses. Three quality management tools are used: the Pareto-Lorenz diagram, the matrix data analysis diagram, and the box plot. The Pareto-Lorenz diagram identified the key quality problems that generate the highest number of events and the greatest financial losses, consistent with the 80/20 rule. The matrix data analysis diagram divided the quality problems into four groups based on their combined impact, indicating critical problems for both categories. The box plot identified outliers and extremes, revealing quality problems with significantly higher frequency and financial impact than others. All quality tools used identified the overprint complaint with code 403 as critical. The results highlight the effectiveness of the quality management tools used in prioritizing product quality problems.

Abstract
The study suggests using biogas plants as highly flexible energy sources. A critical step in deciding on their use involves predictive insights on the energy-efficiency metrics of the proposed biogas-based energy supply system compared to the current centralized model. Energy efficiency metrics were assessed through an analysis of energy balances, built using average statistical data on losses and energy consumption at biogas facilities. This approach is recommended for use in the early stages of defining technical requirements, enabling informed decisions about constructing or upgrading existing energy systems. Implementing biogas plants (BGP) as local power sources proves economically competitive when compared to centralized systems like thermal power plants (TPP) and boiler facilities. BGPs share a similar structure with these systems but operate with fewer areas needed for operations. Integrating BGPs can help reduce national dependence on imported energy, correct imbalances in the energy system due to their flexibility, and lower the cost of energy – whether electrical, thermal, or chemical (such as fertilizers) – for specific manufacturing enterprises. Data on the energy balance reveals that 73% of BGP energy resources are concentrated in biomass.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Supporting making right food choices in accordance with one’s physician’s recommendations would be a significant health-promoting factor for consumers dealing with the modern-age disease of type 2 diabetes. Undoubtedly, appropriate food labelling would be very helpful. Including only the amount and calorific value of food on its packaging is not enough to enable consumers with type 2 diabetes to properly control their glycemia. In the authors’ opinion it is necessary to consider including information on glycaemic index and glycaemic load on every food product’s packaging, especially when it comes to functional foods that consumers with type 2 diabetes trust the most. . Unfortunately, both the health-promoting food labelling system – the Nutri-Score (5-Colour Nutrition Label, 5-CNL) and the Mediterranean Index – Med Index do not have regard to the glycaemic index nor the glycaemic load.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Particulate matter capture is a necessary concern for safeguarding human health and quality of life. This article focuses on enhancing particulate matter capture efficiency via electrostatic precipitation. It deals with expanding the fundamental principle of the single electrode in chimney tubular precipitator to a configuration with multi-tubular precipitation chambers with the aim of increasing the collection area and consequently enhancing the overall efficiency of the separator. The velocity distribution of flue gases was observed through Computational fluid dynamics using Ansys Fluent. The collection area for each proposed separator was calculated, including its enlargement, and the flow uniformity of flue gases through the tubes was assessed. Increasing the number of tubes from one to three resulted in 1.3 times an increase in the collection area. Further expansions to 4, 5, and 7 tubes led to increases of 1.6, 1.7, and 2.1 times, respectively. It was found that due to non-uniform flow distribution through the tubes, the flue gas velocities varied, with values ranging from 0.186 to 1.178 m. s-1. Non-uniform gas flow prevents full utilization of the separator potential, thereby reducing its efficiency. For uniform flow, it would be appropriate to seek a suitable solution for a flow straightener. Additionally, the high particle velocities should be avoided to prevent particles from being carried out of the stack with the flue gas, allowing sufficient time for capture.
Hydrogen Embrittlement of Ferritic Steel 1.4104
Authors: Šikyňa Lukáš , Straková Denisa , Nový František 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The primary goal of this study was to investigate laboratory techniques for hydrogenating selected steels and to examine the hydrogen embrittlement of steel 1.4104. These processes, which involve hydrogenation and subsequent mechanical testing, are rarely performed in laboratories due to the need for precise, costly equipment and the inherent risks associated with hydrogen’s highly reactive and explosive nature.
Various theories have been proposed to explain the mechanisms behind hydrogen embrittlement in steels. These theories attribute material degradation to hydrogen’s interaction with the steel microstructure. However, their applicability is often limited, as they are developed for specific conditions and may not fully describe the phenomenon under different scenarios.
This work focused on hydrogenating steel 1.4104 using two distinct methods: immersion and cathodic. The aim was to induce embrittlement and compare the resulting fracture surfaces, particularly after conducting Charpy impact tests, to evaluate the effects of each hydrogenation method.
Bioactive Coatings and the Safety of Using Metal Implants
Authors: Kędzia Olga , Lubas Małgorzata , Dudek Agata 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Metal implants are commonly used in implant practice due to their very good mechanical properties and low cost of production. Unfortunately, these materials do not have sufficient biological activity, and their long-term exposure to human body fluids can cause corrosion and release toxic ions. Bioactive coatings on metal implants enable bone growth at the implant site. Moreover, ions of biogenic elements and active ingredients are released from their surface in a controlled manner, which prevent inflammation, bacterial growth, or the formation of blood clots. In addition, the bioactive coating creates a tight barrier between the metal implant and body tissues, providing the implants with a non-corrosive environment. This article describes an important issue of the safety of using metal implants and implants with a bioactive coating. The paper presents the characteristics of selected bioactive coatings, their mechanism of action, and application techniques. Particular attention was paid to the use of bioglasses and glass-crystalline materials for bioactive coatings.

Authors: Klimecka-Tatar Dorota 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Maintaining a strong market position is a significant challenge for manufacturing companies, requiring them to meet customer demands through high-quality products while balancing the associated costs. Proper quality management is essential but incurs substantial costs, particularly in terms of production maintenance and prevention. This paper explores the relationship between quality costs and business growth, emphasizing the need for manufacturers to constantly evaluate financial performance in relation to unit production costs and quality maintenance expenses. The study highlights that integrating quality into the production process is a key strategy for preventing business growth inhibition due to escalating quality costs. While investing in quality management can drive business development by improving product quality, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency, poor management of quality costs can hinder profitability and growth. The findings suggest that strategic handling of quality costs can foster sustainable growth, whereas mismanagement may lead to competitive disadvantages.
Impact of Hydrogen Charging Techniques on Hydrogen Embrittlement Behavior of S960MC AHS Steel
Authors: Straková Denisa , Nový František , Šikyňa Lukáš 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The study explores the influence of hydrogen embrittlement on advanced high-strength steel S960MC, focusing on the role of different hydrogen charging techniques. Hydrogen embrittlement poses a critical challenge in high-strength steels, compromising their structural integrity and limiting their applications in demanding environments. The findings indicate that S960MC steel demonstrates intrinsic resistance to hydrogen embrittlement when exposed to a hydrogen-supersaturated environment without external factors like electric current or elevated temperature. However, cathodic hydrogen charging significantly enhances hydrogen diffusion into the material, leading up to a 60% decrease in ultimate tensile strength. In contrast, immersion hydrogen charging showed a minimal effect on the mechanical properties. Fractographic analysis showed that cathodic charging led to severe embrittlement, characterized by mixed transcrystalline quasi-cleavage, intercrystalline fractures, and extensive secondary cracking. Conversely, immersion charging resulted in negligible embrittlement, with minimal changes in fracture morphology. These results highlight the critical role of hydrogen charging methods in the embrittlement behavior of S960MC steel, emphasizing the substantial impact of cathodic charging on material degradation.

Authors: Belany Pavol , Hrabovsky Peter , Florkova Zuzana , Kantova Nikola Cajova 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The quality of workplace lighting is of significant consequence to the well-being and productivity of employees. This study examines the influence of diverse lighting modalities on employee satisfaction and performance within an intelligent building. In building, three primary lighting modes are used: daylighting, constant illuminance, and power lighting. A survey was conducted with the objective of assessing the perceptions of the lighting conditions held by employees. The findings suggest that the majority of respondents expressed satisfaction with the overall lighting quality, particularly when natural light was integrated with artificial lighting. However, it is notable that there were variations in satisfaction levels, which serves to illustrate the importance of developing lighting solutions that are tailored to specific needs and preferences. The findings indicate that optimal lighting, characterized by appropriate illuminance levels, color temperature, and glare control, can positively impact employee mood, concentration, and overall job satisfaction.

Authors: Sakiewicz Piotr , Ober Józef , Kopiec Małgorzata 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article analyses the perception of the implementation of ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) standards based on a pilot study among Polish companies with a particular focus on SMEs. In the context of the implementation of the CSRD, the study assesses SMEs’ awareness, readiness, and challenges to comply with sustainability reporting requirements. The pilot study covered key areas such as awareness of ESG standards, barriers to implementation, management, and employee engagement, and use of technology to support the reporting process. The results indicate varying levels of ESG knowledge and difficulties in implementation, including financial barriers, lack of knowledge, and appropriate technology tools. Resistance to change due to, among other things, lack of knowledge was shown to negatively affect perceptions of ESG. The article highlights the importance of factors that motivate SMEs to implement ESG and the need for support from public institutions and the consultancy sector. Proposed recommendations include education, additional funding, standardisation of tools, and automation of reporting. The study provides practical lessons for companies and policy makers, contributing to a better understanding of the dynamics of ESG implementation in SMEs and setting new directions for research on sustainable management.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive risk assessment and analysis in the production of plastic toys - specifically building blocks - conducted using the Pareto-Lorenz diagram and the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method. The study addresses the challenges faced by toy manufacturers, particularly in the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector, in meeting stringent safety and quality requirements for children’s toys. The Pareto-Lorenz diagram identified the most frequent nonconformities in the production process, revealing that small protruding parts and sharp edges accounted for 71.65% of all detected defects. The FMEA method, applied in a novel approach, allowed for the prioritization of risks and the identification of key areas for improvement, such as material selection, injection molding parameters, and quality control processes. Based on the findings, the study proposes targeted optimization measures to enhance product quality, safety, and production efficiency. These results contribute to the body of knowledge on risk management in toy manufacturing and offer practical solutions for improving compliance with industry standards.
