The Subject

Purpose/Thesis: This article presents the results of a survey conducted in January 2021 among employees of Polish libraries, museums, and archives, examining their awareness of open linked data technologies. The research had a pilot character and its results will be used to improve the questionnaire and to conduct research on a wider scale. Approach/Methods: The survey method was used in the study. Results and conclusions: On the basis of answers received, it can be concluded that open linked data is not yet very well-known among employees of Polish libraries, museums, and archives. Those most aware of technologies allowing for machine understanding of content shared on the Web are doctorate degree-holders employed in research libraries. Furthermore, awareness of the projects using LOD technologies does not correlate with awareness of these technological solutions. Research limitations: The number of respondents (415) constitutes 1% of all the people employed in libraries, archives, and museums in Poland (based on data provided by the Central Statistical Office of Poland). This is not a large number, but considering the variety among the respondents, the sample can be considered representative. Originality/Value: The awareness of Linked Open Data among employees of Polish libraries, archives, and museums has not been the subject of any study so far. In fact, this type of research has not been conducted in other countries either.

Cold Start Problem

Recommender systems can utilize Linked Open Data (LOD) to overcome some challenges, such as the item cold start problem, as well as the problem of explaining the recommendation. There are several techniques in exploiting LOD in recommender systems; one approach, called Linked Data Semantic Distance (LDSD), considers nearby resources to be recommended by calculating a semantic distance between resources. The LDSD approach, however, has some drawbacks such as its inability to measure the semantic distance resources that are not directly linked to each other. In this paper, we first propose another variation of the LDSD approach, called wtLDSD, by extending indirect distance calculations to include the effect of multiple links of differing properties within LOD, while prioritizing link properties. Next, we introduce an approach that broadens the coverage of LDSD-based approaches beyond resources that are more than two links apart. Our experimental results show that approaches we propose improve the accuracy of the LOD-based recommendations over our baselines. Furthermore, the results show that the propagation of semantic distance calculation to reflect resources further away in the LOD graph extends the coverage of LOD-based recommender systems.

The Subject

The aim of the paper was to determinate the importance of pollinating insects for food security in Poland. To assess this, there was estimated crop production without pollinators. The information published by the Institute of Horticulture and the Central Statistical Office was used as well as the literature on the subject. The results of the study indicate that insect pollinators play a key role in fruit production, absence of pollinators may result in a crop yield reduction about 80%. In terms of physical availability of food, Polish food security will be preserved even in the absence of insect pollinators. However, at the level of economic availability, food security may not be preserved without such pollinators, in particular in terms of fruit and food security associated with the consumption of properly balanced rations.

Commit Suicide

Security of the 21st century is a very important issue related to the interdisciplinary approach to this topic. This article is related to the prevention of the 21st century and the problem of suicide, including access to firearms. The suicidological analysis in this case is based on defining the issue of security prevention and the availability of firearms in a given country. Generally there are many specialists who deal with the subject of suicide, public and social health, prevention, prevention, remedies, but the problem of suicide is still present. According to the Headquarters of the Police or the Central Statistical Office, there is an increasing number of suicides. Social campaigns and actions to increase security in various countries are still insufficient. Many countries start and continue to implement prevention related to suicide prevention. A very important issue that will be raised in this article is access to firearms - as a means that is lethal. It is not always the person who decides to commit suicide, he wants to die, namely if a person is determined to commit suicide, he can use many different means (drugs, jump from a height, poison, etc.). They do not always contribute to an irreversible state, i.e. rubbish. However, the use of firearms means that there is no turning back from suicide, there is no turning back from death. Therefore, a return to health is usually impossible. The suicide attempt with the use of a weapon ends very tragically - death or permanent disability. In connection with the above, the work is of a theoretical and practical nature, as it is possible to indicate various issues related to prevention and suicide prevention.

The aim of the paper was to identify factors affecting the profitability of apiculture production in Poland. In the work was used data from the Central Statistical Office, the Polish Beekeeping Association and literature on the subject. Eight direct interviews with beekeepers were also conducted. The calculations were made for four types of apiaries differing in the scale of production and the way of management. For the types of apiaries indicated, the calculated direct surplus for two methods of selling honey (purchase and direct sales). The highest results were obtained in the case of a migratory apiary. The value of direct surplus per bee colony amounted to PLN 1,160 for direct sales, and PLN 450 for purchase. In the case of stationary management, the amount of direct surplus was from 2 to a dozen times lower than in the case of a migratory apiary. Similar differences were also recorded when estimating the value of net agricultural income. The factors determining the profitability of beekeeping production in Poland include: the scale of production, the kind of economy in the apiary (stationary or migratory), honey distribution channels and the beekeeper’s reputation.

The importance of society in shaping spatial order is increasingly emphasized in research as well as in the creation of local politics. Social potential and its importance in development is the subject of research of both sociologists and geographers. The article addresses issues related to the relationship between the level of social potential and the degree of involvement of local communities in development. An analysis of ventures indicated by local communities to solve the diagnosed problems was also conducted. Data was used for municipalities indicated as problem areas and qualified for the so-called Special Inclusion Zone of Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship from revitalization programs. The analysis also used statistical data from the Central Statistical Office to calculate the synthetic indicator of social potential. The results show that in areas with low social potential, residents show more revitalization initiatives, but are limited to infrastructural needs.
