The primary focus of this study was to explore the attitudes of consumers in Poland towards online grocery shopping, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the e-grocery market. A direct survey was conducted on a sample of 800 respondents from across Poland in the first quarter of 2020. A questionnaire was used as a research tool. As revealed by data analysis, in 2020 more than a half (60%) of consumers in Poland shopped for groceries in online stores run by brick-and-mortar grocery chains. The respondents usually shopped for groceries several times a month, preferably choosing products with a long shelf life, and home delivery options, each time spending around PLN 201-300. Convenience was found to be the key driver that encouraged consumers to shop for groceries online, and concerns about the quality of products purchased online was the major disincentive. Moreover, the coronavirus pandemic, and the resulting health concerns, were shown to have the least effect on the willingness of respondents to shop for groceries online, or the frequency of online grocery shopping. From a practical point of view, this research can be used to create marketing strategies for enterprises operating in the food retail industry, as well as to expand knowledge about the dynamically developing e-grocery market in Poland.

The article considers topical issues regarding the impact of products (goods) quality on the formation of a sufficient level of competitiveness of enterprise. Views on the conceptual and categorical apparatus related to "competitiveness", "product competitiveness" and "quality" are generalized, including foreign experience. The purpose of this article is consideration and analysis of the impact of product quality on the formation of the competitiveness of enterprise and the achievement of its appropriate level in modern market economy. The essence of the concept of "product quality" from the point of view of the manufacturer is highlighted. The interdependence between product quality and ensuring the appropriate level of enterprise competitiveness is shown. The main advantages of improving product quality as a factor of competitiveness of products and the enterprise as a whole are given. The main attention is paid to quality as a factor in the formation of consumer confidence, technology "word of mouth", the importance of aesthetic indicators of products (goods). It is determined that the high quality of products (goods) provides greater return on investment and insufficient level of quality at the initial stage is a positive factor in the development of an enterprise. The main ways to improve product quality and product competitiveness are proposed. It is determined that the quality of products (goods) is influenced by a number of different factors, both internal and external (production technology, pricing policy, efficiency of product quality management system, the level of competition in the market, consumer requirements, etc.). Product competitiveness and enterprise competitiveness are correlated as part and whole. The main measures to improve the quality of products (goods), we see: the formation of consumer confidence and communication, the use of technology "word of mouth", the importance of aesthetic indicators in product or goods development, and development of competitive strategy based on marketing research of competitors, consumers, and the market as a whole.

The study examined mixtures obtained from ready pyrotechnic articles available on the market in Poland. Samples were taken from various products with different performance characteristics, i.e. pyrotechnic batteries, firecrackers, volcanoes, as well as smoke candles, rockets (including rocket engines), and cold fires. These are the product categories most frequently used by users. The research allowed to determine gaseous combustion products and showed their life cycle in the environment. A comparative analysis of selected pyrotechnic mixtures was carried out in terms of their impact on the climate change of gas products. Using the ICT-Thermodynamic Code program, gaseous combustion products were estimated and the life cycle was analysed using the SimaPro program. Determining the impact on the environment (upon the basis of Ecoindicator 99) allowed to know the scale of the problem and set the direction of development of the pyrotechnic industry, so that importers could compete not only with the price and quality of products offered, but also tried to reduce the potential impact on the environment.

Early Phases

AbstractAlthough the quality of a process affects the quality of the end product, there is currently an insignificant amount of knowledge about the quality of project management (PM) processes that directly affect the quality of the delivered product (constructed building). This study presents a proposal for modeling the impact of the quality of the PM process on the quality of the constructed building. The quality of the PM process is represented by the main quality factors and product quality indicators. It presents the results of the interviews that were conducted and study cases that were analyzed in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a variety of project participants (with different managerial perspectives) in terms of the indicators of quality of the delivered product. All participants, regardless of managerial perspective, believe that the most important indicator of the quality of products for each phase of the project is “customer satisfaction in the end phase”, the measurement of which is different for each project phase that is presented. The results of the factor analysis of the definition and the planning phases show that 11 variables, namely, the quality factors of the PM process, can be grouped into three new factors, which is described as 66.61% (77.046%) of the basic set of variables.

The Impact

The task of improving the quality of agricultural tools by improving the technological processes of their functioning, taking into account the kinematic features of the combined impact of working elements of tools on the soil environment is important from a scientific and technical point of view. To form the required structure and density of the soil layer at the depth of sowing, a hammer perforated tillage roller (HPTR) has been developed. The study aim is to improve the quality of post-sowing compaction and structuring of the soil layer in the seed location zone based on the development of an innovative design of HPTR that combines different effects on the treated environment. The object of research is the kinematic mode of operation of the HPTR, equipped with cylindrical hammers installed at the ends of the rod, which, in turn, are radially and pivotally installed on the axis of the gunFeature of offered HPTR is the excitation of hammer vibrations, which changes the kinematic parameters of the tillage tool as a whole. Lagrange equations of the second kind are used to describe the process of HPTR operation, which is represented as a system of material objects with several degrees of freedom. The conducted studies revealed the periodic nature of changes in the strength of the impact of HPTR on the soil. The obtained equations allow us to determine the features of the HPTR movement at different masses of a hollow perforated cylinder and cylindrical hammers. This is of great importance for increasing the efficiency of soil bolster destruction and creating the soil structure recommended for winter crops sown in the Middle Volga region.

The chapter explores a methodological approach where creativity is encouraged through the production of multimodal iPad-mediated narrative texts in the English as a foreign language classroom (EFL) in secondary education. The study, which is based on creativity of human language, evaluates the multimodal productions of a group of students of secondary education (Year 7) in Spain, who work with iPads (1:1 context) within a cooperative learning approach, and analyzes this learning experience from the students' point of view. The results show the impact multimodality has on the own students and on their way of working with the foreign language. The quality of their productions, not only regarding language but also as an act of creation, and the way they appropriate the different semiotic modes multimodality offers will also be examined. Finally, the authors suggest some guidelines to encourage multimodal production and creativity in the EFL secondary classroom and show examples which would help teachers and researchers to develop new didactic proposals at this stage.

What is the impact of crime on the average individual in this country? What is the impact of the fear of crime on the quality of life in the United States? These questions are addressed in this article not from the point of view of an expert, or of an official in the criminal justice system, or of a victim of crime, but from that of an average person whose experience has included no direct encounter with crime of any kind. Those who have been victims of crime and those affected even indirectly by criminal behavior will react, naturally, with predictable concern; crime also has discernible effects on the attitudes and behavior of people generally, and this impact in turn has a corrosive effect on the quality of life in America.
