• The logic of algorithms in the world of work of the technological age - new opportunities and new limitations
  The managerial powers of the employer resulting from the provisions of labor law are of a different nature than those shaped by technology, they locate the activities of the employer's management in a completely different area than technology - in interpersonal relations, not in data, in commands rather than signals, in relating to the individual's ways of being, not to feedbacks, to his conscientiousness and diligence, not to setting him up for exploitation. Technological management has different means of expression, a different methodology of operation, a different scale of coercion and order, it is secured differently, it knows no boundaries that are set for the normative management. Technology allows for a change in the leadership paradigm thanks to access to what was, connects with what is, to define what will be (feedback mechanism), discovers what has so far been hidden in the sense of the impossibility of extracting from the law work - continuity, permanence of supervision and the ability to freely set the individual as an object at the disposal. Technology is a new manifestation of leadership, and more primarily, a new manifestation of relating to people and work. Thanks to her, there has been a hitherto unnoticed move beyond the boundaries of subjectivity, i.e. beyond what is embedded in the subject of regulation, in law, in personal dignity, and into the area of the possibility of free objectification of an individual. The article is an attempt to capture the technological phenomenon of being-in-the-world and the resulting consequences for labor law.
• Labor law in the era of climate transformation
  Progressing unfavorable climate changes - temperature rise, changes in the structure of precipitation, melting glaciers and snow, rising mean sea levels in the world - are a fact. To mitigate climate change, these emissions need to be reduced or prevented. Some jobs and industries will change or disappear altogether as a result of climate change, while others will be created as we move to greener economies. Labor law, although not a natural ally in the fight against global warming, can become a very strong partner for environmental law. The authors point out the obligations of the parties to the employment relationship, which should be reinterpreted to become an effective instrument in this fight. Thus, they start a discussion on the role of labor law in counteracting climate change.

• Will we find out who poisoned the Odra River and what?
  The headlines of magazines and the first news in numerous media at the end of July announced the tragedy - tons of dead fish in the Oder, cloudy and stinking water flows down the river, the ecological disaster has reached the center of Wrocław, anglers talk about an ecological armageddon . Do not bathe, fish or eat any fish. The August press also did not reassure themselves with information about the Oder - State institutions acted in a chaotic and late manner, a million zlotys for the person who will identify the poisoner. Odra, which was an oasis of life and turned into a cemetery. We will try to explain how this happened, but will we succeed? There is too much ambiguity about this, as if someone were deliberately confusing the whole story so that the truth would never see the light of day.
• Climatic and ecological disasters in Poland
  The ecological disaster, the contamination of the Odra River, will have tragic consequences for the ecosystem. However, this is not the only such catastrophe that has hit Polish nature in recent years. Those that have happened in the last four decades have caused losses of EUR 16 billion. They also contributed to the tragic death of 2,121 people.
• Restoration of rivers - a task for now
  Rivers are subject to enormous human pressure, and it should come as no surprise that there has been a large-scale environmental disaster in the Odra River. A radical change in the approach to managing natural resources, including rivers, is assumed by the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030. restoring their natural functions and ensuring free movement for at least 25,000 by 2030 km of rivers. The plans pushed by the Polish government to transform large Polish rivers into transport routes are unjustified both from a natural and economic point of view. In response to the disaster, one of the urgent measures required is the preparation and implementation of the Odra Valley restoration program. It should be noted that there has been an appeal in Poland to grant legal personality to the Odra River.
• Hydrological status quo
  The origins of water on Earth date back 4.6 billion years. Research has shown that water could not have been formed during the formation of the Earth. Our planet was probably so hot then that all the water would have evaporated. Modern research suggests that most of the water on Earth comes from an extraterrestrial source, possibly from asteroids and comets that hit the Earth and were rich in water. Along with the evaporating water, an atmosphere appeared, and with it, life could arise on Earth.

• Optimizing factory operations through digital transformation
  Although often technologies used in the manufacturing industry are modern, innovative solutions, they are often accompanied by an outdated model of use. Machines collect huge amounts of data from the production floor, while at the same time IT infrastructure uses terabytes of data for business operations. However, because operational technologies (OT) and IT systems are not integrated, manufacturers cannot make real-time decisions and machine operators have problems managing so much information.
• Thermal imaging and radar technology
  Critical infrastructure is of particular strategic importance for each country. That is why it is so important to ensure its comprehensive protection, from the safety of employees or the environment to maintaining the continuity of production and security of facilities. One of the solutions, more and more often used, are radar and thermal imaging technologies, which significantly increase the effectiveness of protection while minimizing costs.
• Introduction to off- line programming of industrial robots
  Increasing requirements regarding the quality, efficiency and flexibility of production force the use of robot programming methods that do not interfere with its current progress. The elimination of production downtime (so-called "waste") is the main goal of the development of off- line systems used for programming automated means of production. Off- line programming (OLP) means programming robots outside of production and without stopping it, and is an increasingly used tool used at the stage of technological preparation of production (TPP). This article is an introduction to off- line programming of industrial robots.
