The work is a report on the intentional use of harmful biological agents in workplaces in Poland based on National Register of Biological Agents (Krajowy Rejestr Czynników Biologicznych - KRCB) as of June 2025. The KRCB is a central database gathering notifications of the intentional use of biological agents in risk groups 2-4 in work processes in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Health of December 11, 2020, amending the regulation regarding biological agents. Notifications were sent by 749 enterprises for: diagnostic - 59.3%, research - 32.4% and industrial purposes - 8.1%. Notifications were most often sent by microbial laboratories (N = 438, 58.5%), scientific-research institutions (N = 229, 30.6%) and industrial enterprises (N = 82, 11.0%). In total, 7795 workers (87.6% women, 12.4% men) were exposed to biological agents intentionally used at work. Biological agents from risk groups 2 and 3 were used by 97.6% and 15.9% enterprises, respectively. The most frequently were used bacteria Escherichia coli (with the exception of non-pathogenic strains) - 4823 exposed workers (61.9%), Staphylococcus aureus - respectively 4655 (59.7%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa - 4188 (53.7%). National Register of Biological Agents gathered 9 notifications of intentionally using of the biological agent carcinogenic to humans, including viruses (hepatitis B virus [N = 2015 workers, 25.8%], hepatitis C virus [N = 1982, 25.4%], human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [N = 1796, 22.7%], Epstein-Barr virus [N = 196, 2.5%], human papilloma virus [N = 60, 0.8%], human herpes virus type 8 [N = 16, 0.2%], human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 [N = 38, 0.5%]), bacteria (Helicobacter pylori [N = 327, 4.2%]), parasite (Schistosoma haematobium [N = 9, 0.1%]). Intentionally used biological agents most often pose a threat to workers of microbial laboratories, but a higher health risk concerns workers of scientific-research institutions.

ABSTRACT The article proposes a method for assessing the value of human resources at the level of an individual production or project task, based on integrating hard and soft skills indicators into a single intellectual system to support management decisions. Unlike traditional approaches based on static personnel parameters, the developed model combines elements of multicriteria analysis, fuzzy logic theory and weighting coefficients for quantitative assessment of personnel competencies in conditions of uncertainty. The Human Resource Value Index is proposed to determine an employee's integral value for a specific task, taking into account the requirements of the work process and the dynamics of changes in employee characteristics. Experimental modelling has been conducted, confirming the methodology's ability to differentiate personnel decisions based on the priority of hard and soft skills, as well as to respond appropriately to changes in input data. The results of the work demonstrate the feasibility of using the model in digital HR analytics platforms and DSS for adaptive personnel management in project‐oriented structures, particularly in maritime logistics. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a formalized mechanism for measuring employee value in real time, ensuring greater accuracy and objectivity in personnel decisions within complex socio‐technical systems.

Information systems are an important element in the business world that helps businesses increase work efficiency and reduce human error. In practice, many businesses still produce financial reports manually. Manual preparation of financial reports is inefficient and tends to have a higher potential for delays, lateness, or errors in data entry. This makes the financial reports presented inaccurate and unreliable as a basis for making decisions. To address this problem, a community service program was implemented by designing an accounting system using Microsoft Access, which provides various features that can help users in data processing. The method carried out starts with observation, system design, and evaluation by the partner. The result of implementing this program is that the system designed in Microsoft Access successfully accelerated the work process for partners, making the preparation of financial reports more efficient and timely. The financial reports presented also became more accurate and reliable.

Process mining enables organizations to discover, monitor, and analyze their work processes based on data. A fundamental requirement for initiating a process mining project is the availability of an event log, which is not always readily available. In such cases, extracting an event log typically involves various time-consuming tasks, such as writing custom structured query language (SQL) scripts to extract relevant data into an event log format from a relational database. In this work, we explore the potential of large language models (LLMs) to support event log extraction for process mining by leveraging LLMs’ ability to produce SQL scripts. We evaluate the effectiveness of LLMs in assisting this process and analyze their performance across a range of scenarios. Despite the inherent non-determinism of LLM outputs, our findings highlight the potential of future LLM-assisted tools in automating event log extraction, particularly when provided with the appropriate domain and data knowledge context. The implementation of such tools could democratize access to process mining by reducing the need for specialized technical expertise for producing relational database query scripts and minimizing manual effort.

This study aims to analyze the impact of work process digitalization and the implementation of Green Human Resource Management (HRM) on resource efficiency at the Bawaslu Secretariat in South Labuhanbatu Regency. As an election supervisory agency, Bawaslu faces challenges in efficiency, accountability, and speed of service, previously dominated by a paper-based administration system. This manual practice causes significant resource waste, both financially and environmentally. To address this, a digital transformation was carried out by developing an integrated administration management application that replaces physical documents with digital ones. This digitalization aims to cut lengthy bureaucracy and improve operational efficiency. The implementation of Green HRM at Bawaslu in South Labuhanbatu Regency is expected to reduce resource waste through the use of environmentally friendly and efficient technology. This study uses a literature review approach to identify and synthesize relevant previous research findings. The results show that the implementation of work process digitalization and Green HRM at Bawaslu in South Labuhanbatu Regency has had a positive impact on resource efficiency, by reducing paper, ink, and energy consumption, as well as increasing the accuracy and speed of administrative processes. In addition, the developed application also supports real-time data-based decision-making and increases transparency in election supervision

Rationale of the Study - This research investigated the information and knowledge management challenges faced by two municipalities in Sweden during the procurement and monitoring processes related to children and young people placed in residential care facilities. Effective information and knowledge management are crucial to delivering high-quality care. Successful procurement and monitoring processes depend on effective management of information generated, utilised, repurposed, and disseminated to relevant stakeholders. Methodology - A case study approach was utilised, employing an interview guide designed to elicit insights into organisational structure, work processes, information governance, information systems, information security, e-government initiatives, collaboration, knowledge management, and the long-term preservation and reuse of information. Findings - The study uncovered a range of information needs and highlighted significant barriers to the dissemination of information and knowledge among stakeholders. These barriers adversely impacted both procurement processes and systematic follow-up concerning residential care for children and young people. Additionally, the findings revealed that existing municipal information management systems were insufficient for supporting the effective management of information critical to knowledge development. Implications - The absence of coordinated information and knowledge management adversely affects procurement and follow-up processes, thereby compromising the quality of care for children and young individuals. This has broader implications for all stakeholders, as inadequate information management can lead to poor decision-making. Originality - There is a significant gap in the literature regarding the role of information and knowledge management in follow-up processes for children and young people in care, particularly from an Information Science perspective. This deficiency underscores the originality and contribution of the present study to the field.

Abstract Virtual reality (VR) has become widely adopted for training, education, and collaboration applications. The construction industry, known for its complex work processes and numerous personnel involved, relies heavily on effective collaboration. Many existing VR research platforms are tailored to specific tasks and offer limited variability. They often demand specialized tools, programming languages, or expertise to enable configurability, thereby restricting accessibility and flexibility. Furthermore, researchers often require diverse settings for conducting user studies, and trainees generally benefit from varied scenarios to enhance training effectiveness. To address these challenges and needs, we introduce Col-Con, a VR platform designed to investigate collaborative behaviors in construction. Col-Con is a configurable, multi-user platform that enables researchers to set up simulations through intuitive and human-readable YAML configuration files. It provides immersive and realistic simulated construction environments, where real-time voice communication, synchronized transformations, animations, sounds, and interactions enhance collaborative experiences. To validate Col-Con’s capabilities and investigate user behaviors in a collaborative context, we implemented a realistic and configurable pipe installation task as a case study. A user study demonstrated that pipe installation on Col-Con is highly feasible, with participants reporting a strong sense of immersion and collaboration, making it well-suited for observing collaboration. Thanks to its modular architecture, Col-Con can be easily extended to support additional construction tasks. We envision that Col-Con will facilitate research on exploring virtual reality-based collaborative behaviors in construction and that Col-Con’s architecture and implementation can serve as a reference for designing future VR-based multiplayer research platforms. Col-Con is open-sourced at https://github.com/gmu-dcxr/VRC2-System .

The implementation of the concept of artificial intelligence into the sphere of human resource management is a paradigm shift in the functioning of the specified sphere as it transforms the objective, administrative processing, into the strategic and data-driven decision-making. The paper examines the multifaceted impacts of AI technologies in the whole HR value chain by condensing the body of empirical evidence to explain not merely opportunities, but also challenges that are transformative. It is revealed that AI enables the achievement of an unprecedented level of efficiency, personalization, and predictability in talent acquisition, personalized learning and strategic workforce planning. Such innovations are, however, paid with the key ethical concerns like the bias of the algorithms, the absence of transparency, and the potential humanization of the working process

ABSTRACT In 2012, the photographer, filmmaker and painter Judit Kurtág started collecting audiovisual material about and from her grandfather György Kurtág in order to prepare a documentary. Included in these materials are extraordinary documents allowing quite unusual insight into two crucial stages of the creative process of the composer’s first opera then in work, Fin de partie (2010–2018) after the famous play by Samuel Beckett: (1) the composer reading aloud in front of the camera an extract of the text in French giving an idea of the phrasing, rhythm, and melody of the respective section when spoken, and (2) the composer working at the piano while wearing a video camera headset. These technical means allowed the filmmaker to observe the creative process without being in his studio and disturbing the composer through her presence. The present study describes and analyses selected extracts of the audiovisual material relating to early stages of Clov’s last monologue (No. 11 in the final score). The video footage is compared with the written traces of the working process in the sketches. These rare and unusual documents help to significantly deepen our understanding of the compositional process of the late György Kurtág.

Abstract ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia (kecuali artikel yang ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris) yang This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of work discipline and rewards on employee productivity, both directly and indirectly through work performance as an intervening variable at PT Wilmar Nabati Teluk Bayur Padang. Productivity is a vital element for the sustainability of the vegetable oil processing industry amidst global competition. This research employs a quantitative method with a causal design. The population of the study comprises all 80 employees of PT Wilmar Nabati Teluk Bayur Padang. The sampling technique used is saturated sampling (census), where the entire population serves as respondents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires using a Likert scale. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results reveal dynamic findings: (1) Work discipline has a negative and insignificant effect on work performance; (2) Rewards have a positive and significant effect on work performance; (3) Work discipline has a positive and significant direct effect on employee productivity; (4) Rewards have a negative and insignificant direct effect on employee productivity; (5) Work performance has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity; (6) Work discipline does not have a significant effect on productivity through work performance; and (7) Rewards have a significant effect on productivity through work performance. These findings indicate that to improve productivity, discipline impacts the work process directly, whereas rewards must first be converted into performance to impact productivity .

The possibility of adapting and applying this technology when installing hinged facades is considered. Results. The tasks and the range of application of this system in the conditions of the Russian market of systems of hinged facades are defined. The analysis of existing technical solutions for the installation of curtain wall systems has been carried out to determine the key features of the operating modes of cable robots. Some machine learning methods are considered that make it possible to identify and systematize work processes, as well as to reduce the time spent on preparing algorithms for installing energy-efficient facades. Conclusions. The significant advantages of the proposed solution have been established: high adaptability to various climatic conditions in Russia, positioning accuracy ± 3.2 mm, which meets the installation requirements of modern facade systems, the ability to work in seismically active zones due to the dynamic stabilization system, versatility for various types of fasteners and materials of facade structures.

The construction of a curriculum system based on work process is the core path for higher vocational education to deepen the integration of production and education and improve the quality of talent cultivation. Based on the essential characteristics of higher vocational education, “vocationality, practicality, and openness,” this paper defines the core connotation of a work process-based curriculum system, analyzes its essential differences from the traditional subject-based curriculum system, and systematically proposes implementation strategies for curriculum system construction from five dimensions: vocational post research, typical work task analysis, curriculum content reconstruction, teaching model innovation, and evaluation system optimization. The research aims to provide theoretical reference and practical paradigms for higher vocational colleges to solve the problem of “disconnection between learning and application” and cultivate technical and skilled talents meeting industrial needs.

Emotional burnout is a form of psychoemotional exhaustion that arises as a result of prolonged exposure to stressors in professional activity. In recent decades, this phenomenon has gained particular relevance due to the intensification of work processes, changes in employment patterns, and increasing demands placed on employees. The aim of this article is to examine employee emotional burnout from the perspective of how corporate culture influences its development and manifestations. The study is based on a theoretical analysis of domestic and international research addressing the interaction between components of corporate culture and factors contributing to burnout. It has been established that corporate culture may function both as a protective factor that reduces the risk of burnout and as an aggravating factor when it encourages overwork, high work intensity, insufficient psychological support, and underdeveloped norms of work–life balance. A structuralfunctional approach is employed to identify the mechanisms through which values, norms, organizational climate, and leadership practices affect employees’ emotional wellbeing. The article highlights the necessity of considering the cultural and psychological characteristics of an organization when developing personnel management programs. The work has a theoretical orientation and may be useful for HR specialists, managers, and researchers in the field of organizational psychology.

The digital transformation of public institutions demands the integration of policy, governance, technology, and user behavior to generate public value. This qualitative study analyzes the implementation of the DPR RI Minutes Information System (SIRIH) at the DPR RI Secretariat General through a multi-level approach. At the macro level, the OECD Digital Government Policy Framework is used to assess digital governance maturity. At the meso level, a socio-technical system approach is used to analyze the integration of SPBE policies, organizational design, and court proceedings. At the micro level, the UTAUT model is used to explain the factors of system adoption and utilization by officials. Data were obtained through analysis of official documents and observation of work processes. The results show that at the macro level, SIRIH strengthens the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of court proceedings. At the meso level, SIRIH implementation encourages standardization of work processes and cross-unit coordination, but still faces limitations in system integration and alignment of technology design with organizational needs. At the micro level, performance expectancy and social influence are the main determinants of adoption, with challenges in digital literacy and interface quality. This study confirms that digital transformation of court proceedings is a multi-layered socio-technical process that requires simultaneous strengthening of policy, organizational design, and user capacity.

Vanda tricolor Lindl. var. Suavis is an orchid indigenous to Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Conservation efforts are necessary due to its diminishing presence in its natural habitat, which is caused by recurrent eruptions and exploitation by irresponsible parties. Ex situ conservation initiatives using in vitro culture propagation have been implemented; however, the growth of Vanda tricolor in acclimatization remains slow, as reflected by minimal increases in plant height, leaf length, leaf width, root length, and root diameter. Consequently, efforts to promote the development of Vanda tricolor must be implemented, especially using bacteria that are symbiotic with orchid roots. The obtained characterization data could assist in the future selection of bacteria that can promote the growth of Vanda tricolor orchids. This study aims to identify and characterize bacteria from the roots and rhizosphere of Vanda tricolor orchids. The results indicated that fourteen isolates were isolated, of which eight showed nitrogen fixation and nitrification capabilities. The isolates were identified as members of the genus Bacillus by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, including Bacillus cereus , Bacillus toyonensis , Bacillus paramycoides and Bacillus sp. Phylogenetic research revealed that these isolates grouped within the Bacillus cereus sensu lato complex, signifying significant genetic similarity and possible ecological functions in enhancing plant growth. The results indicate that Bacillus isolates from the Vanda tricolor rhizosphere have beneficial properties for bioinoculant production aimed at promoting orchid growth. Future research emphasizing physiological and genetic validation is essential to verify their working processes and enable safe application in orchid conservation efforts.

Robot-assisted total knee replacement has emerged as a promising technology in bone surgery, offering further precision and accuracy compared to manual methods. This advancement shows potential benefits for better patient outcomes. The PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed to ensure a transparent, systematic, and reproducible evaluation of all included studies. This method helped review research properly. Comparative studies and controlled trials related to robot-assisted knee arthroplasty compared to conventional knee arthroplasty were found using multiple database searching (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science). The search strategy enabled identification of relevant studies. The study showed that robotic knee surgery had significantly better post-operative anatomical and mechanical restoration compared to the regular surgery methods. However, clinical and functional results were similar between both groups, and the complication rates themselves showed no further difference. Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery showed better accuracy and fewer alignment problems compared to conventional manual TKA. Regarding short-term results, patients had better outcomes with robot-assisted methods. Total Knee Arthroplasty itself became cost-effective when case volume was further increased beyond 49 cases per year. Although Robot-assisted knee surgery provides better accuracy in component positioning and alignment, the actual patient outcomes and knee function remain comparable to traditional surgery methods in short and medium-term follow-up. The technology shows promise; however, longer-term studies are required to determine whether these improvements translate into superior clinical outcomes. The cost-effectiveness only depends on how many cases the hospital manages and how well they organize their work processes.
