Leading of a multicultural team on the example of a corporation.

Celem niniejszej pracy magisterskiej jest sprawdzenie, jak wielokulturowe środowisko pracy wpływa na pracowników różnych szczebli kariery. Podstawowym problemem postawionym w niniejszej ankiecie jest pytanie, czy wielokulturowość zespołów ma wpływ na zarządzanie nimi. Innymi słowy, czy kierowanie zespołem wielokulturowym różni sie od bycia managerem zespołu monokulturowego i dlaczego. Problematyka wielokulturowości zostanie przedstawiona więc z perspektywy pracowników niewykonujących funkcji kierowniczych oraz z perspektywy managerów zespołów wielokulturowych. W tym celu zostanie przeprowadzona ankieta internetowa, a odpowiedzi udzielą respondenci z najróżniejszych zakątków świata.The aim of this master thesis is to check how a multicultural work environment affects employees at various career levels. The basic problem posed in this thesis is the question whether multiculturalism of teams has an impact on the management of it. In other words, is managing a multicultural team different from being a manager of a monoculture team and why. The issue of multiculturalism will be presented from the perspective of regular employees and from the perspective of managers of multicultural teams. For this purpose, an internet survey will be conducted, and the answers will be provided by respondents from various world

Reusability, Long‐Life Storage and Highly Sensitive Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate Fabricated by Reactive Gas‐Timing Rf Magnetron Sputtering

Abstract Transition metal nitrides (TMN) are promising material alternative to replace noble metals in the field of plasmonic applications, especially surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Here  we  demonstrate a practical surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate using zirconium nitride (ZrN) thin films grown by reactive gas‐timing (RGT) rf magnetron sputtering. The tailored properties of ZrN thin film exploited for SERS activity could be achieved to obtain a highly sensitive ZrN thin film SERS substrate with the enhancement factor (EF) of 1.24 × 106 and 4.8 %RSD at 1626 cm‐1 toward methylene blue (MB) analyte which are comparable to the optimized Au sputtered thin films (EF=1.18 × 106 and with 5.1%RSD).  We  find that the spatial plasmonic hotspots on the surface of ZrN SERS substrate controlled by the turn‐on timing of Ar:N2 sputtered gas sequence, leading to the discrete conductive surface profile, strongly relates to non‐stoichiometric composition and the degree of (200)‐oriented texture at the surface of ZrN thin film. Furthermore, ZrN thin film SERS substrates exhibit an excellent recyclability more than 30 cycles with simple cleaning process and a storage time longer than 6 months. The detection and reusability of ZrN SERS substrate on the low concentration of trinitrotoluene (TNT) for homeland security are also performed
