RFID TECHNNOLOGY - NEW CHALLENGE FOR MANUFACTURING AND LOGISTICS CENTERS

RFID technology can be exploited in newly developed logistics centers in Polandas well. The Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been recognized as one of the greatesttechnologies implemented by enterprises in different branches. Constantly increasing numberof enterprises, which are making use of RFID technology to improve their efficiency ofmanufacturing goods, functioning as well as to achieve a competitive advantage on themarket, shows the great necessity of large changes. One of the fields where RFID can be usedis logistics centers. There are projects that implement RFID into logistics centers. Suchprojects start with a study of what kinds of needs are in the market, and proceeds to thedevelopment of concept as well as project determines what the new systems and hardwarerequirements will be to translate the concept of logistics centers with RFID systems to anactual infrastructure. Conclusion is that RFID will be more universally diffused andassimilated into everyday life in the future.RFID, logistics centre, project

Finansowanie ochrony środowiska a jakość życia mieszkańców Polski i krajów sąsiadujących

The purpose of the article is compare level of financing environmental protection in Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Lithuania in regard to public institutions responsible for city logistics as well as to the enterprises. The environment protection issues is present in many publications especially with the background in logistics as well as social issues, connected with life quality. Financing ecological actions means fulfilling duties coming from the European Union accessing agreement as well as influence on the city inhabitants life quality in Poland. The relevance of the above mentioned issues is the motivation to evaluate one of environmental issues, which is structure and quantity of financial expenditure. Decision about quantity and quality of realized tasks in the research influence od city inhabitants life.Celem artykułu jest porównanie poziomu finansowania ochrony środowiska w Polsce na tle Słowacji, Czech i Litwy, z uwzględnieniem przede wszystkim działalności podmiotów publicznych, odpowiedzialnych za logistykę miasta, i przedsiębiorstw. Temat ochrony środowiska cechuje się wysoką aktualnością, szczególnie na tle zachodzących zmian w logistyce i tych społecznych, związanych z jakością życia. Finansowanie działań proekologicznych oznacza zaangażowanie i  spełnianie obowiązków wynikających z umowy akcesyjnej z Unią Europejską i przede wszystkim wpływa na jakość życia mieszkańców miast w Polsce. Istotność tematyki stanowiła motywację do oceny jednej ze składowych działalności środowiskowych, jaką jest struktura i wysokość nakładów finansowych. Decyzja o liczbie i jakości realizowanych w badanym zakresie zadań wpływa na życie mieszkańców miast

Polylactide Used as Filment in 3d Printing – Part 2: TG-DTG, DSC and DRIFT investigations

A series of structural and thermal analysis research (TG-DTG, DSC, DRIFT) were performed for the samples of polylactide (PLA), which is commonly used in additive technologies as a structural material. In total four materials were considered, including two containing dyes with different colors, a material made of PLA recyclate and a graphene-modified PLA material. It was noted that PLA material reinforced with graphene phase (GRAFYLON®) retains the best thermal properties (TG-DTG), which results in wider possibilities of its processing, including further modification and usability in manufacturing vehicle structural elements. Recycled PLA material (ALFA+W) was characterized by a higher melting point (Tp) by more than 20oC than other samples (DSC analysis), so it can be more useful in the production of structural elements operating, as well as used at elevated temperatures

Model of Connection Between Inflation and Interest Rate Based on the Polish Financial Market

The paper presents some empirical models of financial markets, which describe international interest rates and exchange rates. The main emphasis is placed on the model based on J. A. Frenkel’s model of exchange rates, which presents the theory in detail and gives some practical applications. The paper includes Fisher-Chow test оf the stability of financial markets, shown for a large number of observations and concerning simulation models for small changes in interest rates and exchange rates, which can be used to estimate future interest rates.Zadanie pt. „Digitalizacja i udostępnienie w Cyfrowym Repozytorium Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego kolekcji czasopism naukowych wydawanych przez Uniwersytet Łódzki” nr 885/P-DUN/2014 zostało dofinansowane ze środków MNiSW w ramach działalności upowszechniającej nauk

The impact of environmental taxes on transportation and storage enterprises´ development - the case of balkan countries

Sustainable development counteracts climate change and strives for a good quality of life. It is a development based on economic, social and environmental goals which should be evaluated. Environmental taxes have to ensure enterprises’ development follows sustainability principles. The basis of environmental taxes is a physical unit of harmful substance emissions with a proven negative impact on the environment. The article’s main objective is to assess the impact of environmental taxes (Envtax) on the sustainable development of the transportation and storage enterprises (Susd) (NACE Rev. 2: H) from 2008 to 2018. We created integrated indicators of sustainable development and its components, single-equation and multi-equation models (the OLS estimation) and Model Autoregressive Moving Average with eXogenous (ARMAX) to verify the research hypothesis. The research results indicate that energy (Entax t), transport (Trtax) and pollution taxes (Poltax) from current and previous period significantly affect the development of transportation and storage enterprises within sustainability principles (economic: Ed, social: Sd, and environmental: Envd). There is a strong variation in the strength and direction of the impact of environmental taxes on the development of the transportation and storage enterprises following sustainability principles in Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, and Slovenia from 2008 to 2018. The results indicate that taxes are not effectively used and that implementing reforms in the European Union in this area is the right direction
