The article considers and analyses the specificity of social communication on the base of considerations about commu­nication of aid organizations (for example Wspólnota Polska, Helsińska Fundacja Praw Człowieka, Zespół Monitorowania Rasizmu i Ksenofobii, Stowarzyszenie Interwencji Prawnej, Polskie Towarzystwo Prawa Antydyskryminacyjnego, Obywatele RP, Fundacja Otwarty Dialog, Komitet Obrony Demokracji, Akcja Demokracja and other) with the society. The article analyses this problem from a sociological point of view. Using the sociological analysis, the authors prove that communication, as one of the variables in the description and translation of social phenomena, also has another hidden function, thanks to which it becomes a specific term – a «picklock». A detailed description of the research and the selection of methods were included in previous studies, and there were also extensive accounts of the encountered actors regarding the nature and context of the observed situations of communication dilemmas. The research area was stretched between the periphery and social centers according to T. Popławski’s theory. The main focus here is on conclusions about communication and bureaucracy. The bu­reaucracy based on the Weberian model seems to be imploding more and more under the weight of extreme rationality, turn­ing into irrationality. The authors sum the article up with practical advice on resolving the issues related to bureaucratism.

Tourism has a notable role in the economies of many countries, and particularly in the countries of the European Union, which are still one of the world's most recognized and visited tourist destinations. The paper aims to analyze the impact of the tourism industry on the economy of the European Union. In this context, the paper is based on research and literature review, in particular, statistics data of Eurostat and the World Travel and Tourism Council. The results achieved by the tourism industry are reflected through certain economic indicators: GDP, employment rate, income, the balance of payments, turnover and consumption. The research area is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world, which generates significant tourist turnover and justifies the status of an extremely important determinant of economic development. The well managed tourism industry complements other economic activities and increases the income of each EU Member State, and the tourism industry has direct and indirect, positive and negative economic effects.

With a constantly and rapidly increasing number of publications, modern expertise on overtourism is becoming increasingly complete. However, a subject that has not been sufficiently presented in the literature thus far is the issue of identifying groups of inhabitants of various destinations that are most severely affected by overtourism and the perception of innovative remedial solutions. In numerous previous publications that analyzed the impact of overtourism on the inhabitants of destinations, the inhabitants were most often treated as a homogeneous group. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to describe the phenomenon of overtourism from the perspective of residents of two Polish tourist destinations and propose innovative solutions to the problem of tourist overcrowding, dedicated to areas with different specificities. Empirical research was conducted among the inhabitants of popular destinations in Poland—Kraków and Białka Tatrzańska—where overtourism has been noted in the scientific literature in recent years. The results allow us to outline significant differences in how the impact of overtourism is perceived by the inhabitants of a large city and a peripheral tourist resort. Additionally, the research demonstrated that respondents who live in the central part of a tourist destination much more clearly perceive their exposure to the effects of overtourism than the inhabitants of other parts, and that this phenomenon is more evident in cities than in resorts. According to the diagnosis of the situation, it was proposed to implement open innovations in the nature of preventive solutions.

Research background: The concept of the university entrepreneurship ecosystem is nowadays a part of the current trends in researching the determinants of support for commercialization of research results. The subject is relatively new, because the first papers in this topic are dated to 2009, and in fact it has only been in the last 3 years that the interest of researchers in this subject has increased. Purpose of the article: The purpose of this study is to analyze the state of research on the issue of the university ecosystem of academic entrepreneurship and to identify the main research trends related to this topic. Methods: The article was based on a systematic review of the literature (SLR), which included the selection of basic literature and selection of publications, mayor researchers, bibliometric analysis and content analysis. Findings & Value added: The results of the conducted research indicate that the study of the university ecosystem of academic entrepreneurship is still a new issue, poorly recognized in literature, without a solid methodological foundation and which may constitute a current and interesting research area. Our paper adds to existing research in four important ways. We provide a holistic review of university entrepreneurial ecosystem. We also identify the challenges identified in this area and suggest how they may be developed.  Third, our results are also policy-relevant. For policy-makers, it is important to know whether academic engagement is driven by mechanisms existing in academic ecosystem or affected by factors that may not be activated by it.

Based on the growing interest in encephalography to enhance human–computer interaction (HCI) and develop brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) for control and monitoring applications, efficient information retrieval from EEG sensors is of great importance. It is difficult due to noise from the internal and external artifacts and physiological interferences. The enhancement of the EEG-based emotion recognition processes can be achieved by selecting features that should be taken into account in further analysis. Therefore, the automatic feature selection of EEG signals is an important research area. We propose a multistep hybrid approach incorporating the Reversed Correlation Algorithm for automated frequency band—electrode combinations selection. Our method is simple to use and significantly reduces the number of sensors to only three channels. The proposed method has been verified by experiments performed on the DEAP dataset. The obtained effects have been evaluated regarding the accuracy of two emotions—valence and arousal. In comparison to other research studies, our method achieved classification results that were 4.20–8.44% greater. Moreover, it can be perceived as a universal EEG signal classification technique, as it belongs to unsupervised methods.

Ranking is a sensational problem since a long time in many research areas. The authors here tried to use a novel ranking approach to find out most popular research interest among all the research interests within a stream. The authors have assumed that the selection of a research area is a tedious task among all the new researchers and tried to propose a mechanism to solve such kind of task. Systematic Literature Review (SLR), Google based searching to find sample; and mean have been used in this approach. Proposed mechanism called METHWORK (Methodology With the Opted Related Keywords) that is tested in a case of ranking of research trends within the IoET (Internet of Environmental Things). To find a ranking, approach uses the popularity of the topic within the researches on the basis of articles published. To find out the correctness of the ranking given by METHWORK, the authors have performed Chi2-test hypothesis testing while they have made a comparison with other existing ranking techniques. The methodology proposed will be a milestone to find out the research trends within a wide research area.
