RekordOur life with plastic, a review of plastic product abuse in the age of consumerism / Nasze życie z plastikiem, przegląd aspektów nadużywania produktów z tworzyw sztucznych w dobie konsumpcjonizmu(Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-11-14)It is estimated that up to 9 million tons of plastic waste enters the oceans every year. There is a top of research on the harmfulness of microplastics to our health. While aspects of the use of polymeric packaging for food, dishes, or plastic furniture and clothing are often dictated by economic considerations, psychological, sociological and cultural aspects can be shaped at the level of operation of healthy and rational product choices in local markets. With increased exposure to plastic in the world, the goal of the natural sciences is to develop research tools on the harmfulness of microplastics. Within the framework of social responsibility, social sciences should give recommendations in areas of social life and propose practical measures to make people aware of where microplastic comes from and how to reduce its use.

RekordHealth crises as a contemporary challenge / Kryzysy zdrowotne jako wyzwanie współczesności(Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-09-18)Crises are a hallmark of the modern era. Various types of crises, both natural and man-made, have a significant impact on politics, society, economy. One of the most important challenges of the modern world are health crises. Material and methods: To identify the phenomenon of health crises, a historical method supplemented with discourse analysis devoted to the issues discussed in the article was used. Results: Health crises were characterized as one of the most important challenges faced by modern people and conclusions were formulated for understanding health crises useful for science and practice. Conclusions: Health crises inevitably accompany human development and have a significant impact on various areas of human life. The health crises presented in the study, including the case of the COVID-19 crisis, show that health crises are of great importance not only from the point of view of public health, but also have broad non-health consequences.

RekordMechanical grinding of spices in grinders with polymeric burrs and transfer of microplastics to food(Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-03-19)Nowadays, researchers are alarming that our everyday food products may be contaminated with plastics during the processing and packaging process. Plastic polymers and harmful chemical additives, such as plasticizers, dyes or modifiers, may enter our body along with food in the form of microplastic particles and cause harm to human health. Risk assessment of microplastics in food products is still at an early stage due to the heterogeneity of research and methodology. Material and methods. The present study analyzed the abrasion of plastic particles from several different Himalayan salt and black pepper grinders with burrs made of polymers using FT-IR and SEM techniques. Results. The study confirms the effect of the polymers used on the amount of microplastic released as well as the rate of wear of the grinder burrs from the ground spice. Conclusions. However, determining the impact of using such devices on human health requires further research.

RekordImpact of the logistics sector on Poland's economic growth 2018-2022 / Wpływ sektora logistycznego na wzrost gospodarczy Polski w latach 2018-2022(Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-03-28)Subject and purpose of work: Analysis of the impact of the logistics sector on Poland’s economic growth 2018-2022. The aim is to understand how logistics processes, including freight and passenger transport, sales of transport products and services, and warehouse management, affect key national economic indicators such as GDP and GNI. Materials and methods: Economic and logistics dataset from CSO for Poland 2018-2022. The analysis methods used include correlation analysis, linear regression, cluster analysis and time series analysis, providing an in-depth understanding of the relationship between the logistics sector and economic growth. Results: There is a significant positive correlation between the development of the logistics sector and Poland’s GDP growth, with a clear impact of freight and logistics efficiency on key economic indicators. Conclusions: Investment in and modernisation of the logistics sector is essential for Poland’s economic growth, suggesting the need to further develop infrastructure and innovation in this area.

RekordDevelopment of the information society in Poland on the example of households / Rozwój społeczeństwa informacyjnego w Polsce na przykładzie gospodarstw domowych(Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-04-05)The development of the information society in Poland, as a key component of socio-economic progress, is evidenced by a range of indicators, one of which is the use of information and communication technologies in households. Material and methods: The research used statistical data from the CSO database collected through face-to-face and telephone interviews (by interviewers) and through an online survey. The research was conducted in 2022, and the subject of the study was the use of ICT in households in 2021. Results: The analysis, based on 2021 CSO data, reveals that central Poland shows the highest rates of ICT use, suggesting a.o. better infrastructure and availability of digital services. Western Poland also records good results, while eastern Poland lags behind in many of the analyzed areas. Conclusions: The considerations carried out underscore the need to develop policies that promote the even development of the information society in order to reduce regional disparities.
