New Challenges Facing the Global Economy. 2nd edition

Miron Wolnicki, Ryszard Piasecki

This publication was written for a Global Political Economy course taught in business schools offering undergraduate or graduate levels of education. The textbook focuses on select countries and regions which, in our opinion, will be the most important consumer and export markets in the next two decades.

New directions in scientific research in innovative interdisciplinary solutions International Interdisciplinary PhD Workshop 2025

Tomasz Rymarczyk Krzysztof Król

This publication was prepared as a permanent record of research findings presented by doctoral students and academics representing diverse research backgrounds and schools. The focus is on interdisciplinary solutions, combining engineering, computer science, and mathematical methods with approaches relevant to management science and socio-economic applications. The International Interdisciplinary PhD Workshop (IIPhDW) is a cyclical and international conference, and its primary function is to provide a platform for research presentations, knowledge exchange, and collaboration between young scientists from various disciplines. The 2025 edition featured a particularly strong technical component, encompassing artificial intelligence, computer science, automation and control, robotics and mechatronics, telecommunications, signal processing, as well as mechanical and production engineering. At the same time, the inclusion of topics in economics and management confirmed the workshop's broad scope and its ability to integrate research perspectives relevant to contemporary technological and organizational challenges. A significant group of publications includes works on process and biomedical tomography, as well as image reconstruction methods using machine learning and deep learning, including approaches combining physical models with neural network architectures. Examples include research on image reconstruction in electrical impedance tomography, the integration of tomography with neural networks for industrial process monitoring, and the use of ultrasound tomography in measurement and reconstruction analysis. This theme is further reinforced by works on hybrid tomography systems, process monitoring using mixed reality technology, and applications in the areas of physiological parameter monitoring and non-invasive diagnostics. The second recognizable axis is artificial intelligence in IT and cyberphysical systems, encompassing both the construction of predictive and classification models and their implementation in industrial, medical, and service environments. This trend includes work related to the application of machine learning methods in system and network security, solutions based on LLM agents in project team workflows, processing unstructured data using OCR and language models, and multimodal analysis in intelligent customer service systems. This perspective highlights the contemporary trend of convergence of AI techniques with data engineering, software engineering, and systems integration, which has direct implications for the design of scalable implementation solutions. The third thematic area covers embedded systems, communication, and signal processing, along with elements of computational resource optimization. The monograph includes papers on, among other things, phase shift estimation in noisy environments, pseudorandom sequence generation, acoustic feature detection, and the efficiency of machine learning applications at the network edge in the context of Kubernetes scheduling heuristics. In the monograph, this strand serves a methodological purpose, providing signal analysis tools and computational mechanisms that form the foundation for many AI and measurement system applications. A significant complement to the technical perspective are works in the areas of management and organizational and economic analysis, which address the need to understand the determinants of technology implementation and the conduct of innovative projects. The publications address, among other things, the predictors of success in startup management and the analysis of organizational improvements in public institutions. Their presence strengthens the interdisciplinary nature of the monograph by demonstrating that the effectiveness of engineering solutions depends not only on the quality of algorithms and devices, but also on the organizational, process, and decision-making context. The monograph is intended as a reference for academics and doctoral students, particularly those seeking examples of research that combines theory with application. The collected papers offer a comprehensive overview of research activities typical of early careers in science, from conceptual studies and method analysis, through device and software architecture prototyping, to experiments and evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed solutions. At the same time, the publication allows for the identification of common methodological denominators, such as the growing importance of measurement data, simulation, deep learning, systems integration, and the pursuit of real-time operation in industrial and biomedical environments. The introduction, on the one hand, contextualizes the monograph within the mission of IIPhDW as a workshop supporting researcher development and the internationalization of research. On the other hand, it organizes the chapter topics in the perspective of dominant technological trends and application needs that permeate various fields. Consequently, the monograph can be viewed as a synthetic overview of current research directions for doctoral students and young academics, as well as an inspiration for undertaking work combining artificial intelligence methods, measurement systems, software engineering, and management analyses within modern interdisciplinary projects.

New Media Behind the Iron Curtain. Cultural History of Video Microcomputers and Satellite Television in Communist Poland

Piotr Sitarski, Maria B. Garda, Krzysztof Jajko

During the years of the Polish People's Republic, Poles were cut off from the western world. Travel was restricted, as was access to out- side culture and goods. This unique situation led to a period of great ingenuity in the realm of new media. Not only were media adapted to suit Poles' needs, but new technology was fashioned to gain access to western television, film and video games. Bringing people together, VCRs, computers and satellite television were thus a window to the outside world and contemporary to the mobilisation of Solidarity and the end of communism. As such, their diffusion is an important but largely overlooked aspect of Poland's history. Acutely aware of this, the authors of this book recount new media behind the Iron Curtain in a way that will appeal to scholars and non-academic readers alike. Coupling archival research with in depth interviews, they bring to life the talent and determination of the PPR's new media pioneers, compelling others to dig further. "One of the strengths of this book, which makes it such a delightful read, is the feeling of chaotic technical experimentation with objects and practices whose meaning has not yet been settled, in a context where the authorities tried to be controlling and restrictive but were mostly incapable of understanding what they should do in order to achieve this." - from the Foreword by Graeme Kirkpatrick

New Opportunities for Polish-Japanese Cooperation: Diagnosis and Prospects

Jolanta Młodawska-Bronowska

This monograph covers the output of the conference titled “2014 - New Opportunities for Japan and V-4 Cooperation” and contains Japanese and Polish contributions. It offers reflections on the statu nascendi of economic and cultural relations between the two nations. Viewpoints and research results mirror the various interests and arguments of the scholars (mainly economists, sociologists, and japanlogists), businessmen, and representatives of administrative bodies (central and local governments) who participated in the conference, all of whom are searching for common solutions. The presented papers are very much diversified with respect to their content and writing styles. The book itself reflects an eclectic approach. The multifaceted approach to the discussed issues facilitates the comparison of expectations against real life activities. The most important goal of the book is to identify the potential for collaboration and crucial fields in which there exist challenges and a need for changes, all in the interest of leading to a new stage of reciprocally profitable relations between Poland and Japan in today’s globalised world.
