This manuscript explores the relationship between economic awareness (as a part of energy awareness) Polish households and their sustainable consumption practices. Sustainable is measured by frequency behaviors such as turning off electrical devices when not in use, removing mobile device chargers from sockets, switching lights leaving room, preferring showers over baths, using washing machines dishwashers only full, purchasing energy-efficient appliances light bulbs. Economic gauged through variables knowledge electricity tariffs, understanding electric bill components, prices, exact expenses, usage kWh, effective energy-saving methods, familiarity with efficiency classes study presents profiles high low regarding expenditures examines how these differ behaviors. research based on survey 1407 conducted online 2023. Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis are presented tables graphs. The findings discussed context existing literature field, highlighting implications contributes influences among households, providing insights for policymakers conservation initiatives. One key this paper significant association awareness, knowledge, adoption households. reveals that higher levels demonstrate notably practices related compared those lower awareness. Similarly, equipped greater about techniques exhibit propensity adopt underscores important roles literacy education fostering behavioral changes towards more practices, importance targeted interventions educational campaigns aimed at enhancing promoting consumers.

Volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) is revolutionizing the field of cell printing by enabling rapid creation complex three-dimensional cellular structures that mimic natural tissues. This paper explores advantages and limitations various VAM techniques, such as holographic lithography, digital light processing, volumetric projection, while addressing their suitability across diverse industrial applications. Despite significant potential VAM, challenges related to regulatory compliance scalability persist, particularly in context bioprinted In India, lack clear guidelines intellectual property protections poses additional hurdles for companies seeking navigate evolving landscape bioprinting. study emphasizes importance collaboration among industry stakeholders, agencies, academic institutions establish tailored frameworks promote innovation ensuring safety efficacy. By bridging gap between technological advancement oversight, can unlock new opportunities regenerative medicine tissue engineering, transforming patient care therapeutic outcomes.

As the climate changes, EU is experiencing heavier rainfall, harsher storms and rising sea levels. According to European Environment Agency (EEA), consequences of fluvial, pluvial coastal floods in Europe will overall worsen as a result local regional increases intensity frequency flooding [1]. The article concerns indication functionality available QGIS software identification critical infrastructure objects Poland Czech Republic along with risk analysis. research aims showcase capabilities mapping utilizing geoprocessing tools create buffers, or protective zones, around these infrastructures. study highlights that provides broad access spatial data. With rapid advancement technology, we can anticipate significant growth mobile-GIS, enhancing GIS databases via mobile devices for real-time data acquisition, management, updates. diverse technical organizational solutions underscore necessity universal standards norms this field. This illustrates use security engineering, such aiding decision-making public administration agencies responsible safety emergency management. Properly chosen software, based on prepared data, address numerous engineering challenges by facilitating process. identifies potential infrastructure, maps their locations, generates buffers assigned classifications. These be instrumental during crises like pandemics.

This article presents the concept of green transformation coal mining sector. Pump stations that belong to Spółka Restrukturyzacji Kopalń S.A. (SRK S.A., Bytom, Poland) pump out approximately 100 million m3 mine water annually. These protect neighboring mines and lower-lying areas from flooding subsurface aquifers contamination. The largest cost component maintaining a pumping station is expenditure for purchasing electricity. Investment towards renewable energy sources will reduce environmental footprint operation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. liquidation an exemplary site in context circular economy proposing development/revitalization presented. involves construction complex consisting photovoltaic farms combined with efficient storage form hydrogen produced electrolysis. For this purpose, potential liquidated sites be utilized, including use pumped wastewater. conceptual. In order reach stated objective, body literature legal regulations was analyzed, empirical study conducted. Various scenarios have been proposed. options presented provide full or nearly self-sufficiency proposed concept. effect applying any option upgrading could result creation jobs are alternatives guarantee asset management.
