Scaling scrum with a customized nexus framework: A report from a joint industry‐academia research project
Publicationespite a wide range of scaling frameworks available, large-scale agile transformations are not straightforward undertakings. Few organizations have structures in place that fit the predefined workflows – while once one applies an off-the-shelf framework outside of its prescribed process, guidance quickly runs out. In this paper, we demonstrate how to instantiate a method configuration process using a lightweight experimental approach...

Zarządzanie zapasami dla praktyków
PublicationDążenie do redukcji zapasów jest naturalnym trendem wszystkich przedsiębiorstw dbających o dostęp do tzw. wolnej gotówki. 11 lat prowadzonych przeze mnie obserwacji w toku realizowanych kilkuset projektów wskazuje, że tylko ok 0,5% przedsiębiorstw (w danym momencie) nie zajmuje się pracą nad obniżeniem zapasów. Jak ta redukcja zapasów zazwyczaj się odbywa? Szef stawia cel swojemu zespołowi: „dziś rotacja naszego zapasu...

Influence of the local building tradition on Renaissance architecture in Royal Prussia
PublicationContrary to the southern Europe the first signs of Renaissance in northern parts of the Holy Roman Empire as well as in Poland and Lithuania might be observed only at the beginning of the 16th century. Initially, they were created by Italian teams which came from Florence, Rome and the region of Como. One of the most recognizable marks of that process was the transfer of the Italian craftsmen and architectural solutions, e.g....

A Simple Neural Network for Collision Detection of Collaborative Robots
PublicationDue to the epidemic threat, more and more companies decide to automate their production lines. Given the lack of adequate security or space, in most cases, such companies cannot use classic production robots. The solution to this problem is the use of collaborative robots (cobots). However, the required equipment (force sensors) or alternative methods of detecting a threat to humans are usually quite expensive. The article presents...

Tacit Knowledge Sharing and Personal Branding. How to Derive Innovation From Project Teams?
PublicationInnovation, relationships, cooperation, and knowledge are key factors which determine a competitive advantage in the networked economy. A network serves as a contemporary form of market process coordination. Network economy, according to the idea of prosumerism, is founded on collaboration of individual creators based on a network of values instead of hierarchical dependencies. Another feature of a network is that it imposes symmetry...

DEEP LEARNING BASED ON X-RAY IMAGING IMPROVES COXARTHROSIS DETECTION
PublicationObjective: The purpose of the study was to create an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based on X-ray images of the pelvis, as an additional tool to automate and improve the diagnosis of coxarthrosis. The research is focused on joint space narrowing, which is a radiological symptom showing the thinning of the articular cartilage layer, which is translucent to X-rays. It is the first and the most important of the radiological signs...

Synchronous black hole search in directed graphs
PublicationThe paper considers a team of robots which has to explore a graph G, where some nodes can be harmful. Robots are initially located at the so-called home base node. The dangerous nodes are the so-called black hole nodes, and once a robot enters in one of them, it is destroyed. The goal is to find a strategy in order to explore G in such a way that minimum number of robots is wasted. The exploration ends if there is at least one...

NEIGHBOURHOOD SPORT AS A TOOL OF URBAN REGENERATION - A WARSAW CASE STUDY
PublicationThere are many connections between sport and urban regeneration. They can be observed while organizing top-down projects, such as sporting mega-events. But sport and urban renewal can also be linked within bottom-up sport initiatives, ones that relate mostly to physical recreation or sport for all. The main goals of physical activity is caring for health, improving fitness, practicing hobbies, and achieving social integration....

The health impact of urban parks along waterways
PublicationWell designed parks along waterways could promote health and well-being of local inhabitants. The way the human settlements meet water bodies can influence the habits of local population. How people spend their time have significant impact on their health. For example, a team of Japanese scientists has proven that a well designed walk-able green spaces are crucial for the longevity of elderly citizens (Takano T. et al, 2002). Nature...

Dzielnica Reprezentacyjna Gdyni i jej powojenne oraz współczesne interpretacje
PublicationThe concept of the Premiere District in Gdynia was first conceived in the 1920s and from that time on it constantly accompanied the history of the city. It derivated from the idea of creating a symbol of Poland's regaining independence after the first World War and the successful creation of the new port and city on the Baltic coast. As the result of that development, Gdynia was named the maritime capital of Poland and was treated...
