The article raises a crucial aspect of educational organizations, their functioning and performance, i.e., their evaluation of education quality based on one of the available methodsand measuring tools – Servqual. The introductory part of the paper focuses on the role of satisfaction in the context of quality assessment, its impact on the process of organizational management and customers’ perception. There are indicated particular stages of the measurement proceedings based on identification of satisfaction assessment gaps – the difference between expectations and customer perception as well as an example survey construction. The final part is an analysis of measuring data received from respondents – students, as a result of the educational assessment research in one secondary technical school.

The scope of the paper is about the development of computer tools dedicated for linguists, philologists, translators, and persons who are learning foreign languages. The authors, basing on the concepts of controlled language, which is a subset of a given natural language, developed the generator of syntactic structures for the Danish language. The controlled Danish language is invented as a system, which is opened both semantically and syntactically. The generator of syntactic structures is a basis construction of Machine-Aided Human Translation (MAHT) system. Such MAHT system makes it possible to create correct syntactically and semantically utterances,even in the case of persons who do not know a given language at all or know it only to some narrow extent. Such generators of syntactic structures and MAHT systems can be very useful for the persons who are learning foreign languages. Moreover they can be used in the area related to reconstruction and revitalization of endangered languages.

The market of private equity funds in Poland, compared to Western Europe, is not very extensive, both in terms of the amount and size of investments made by funds, or the level of investments in relation to the state’s GDP. Alternative (financial and non-financial) support options, such as those offered by private equity, are worth considering in the changing reality. Therefore, it also seems justified to analyze the factors that may affect the development of private equity in Poland.

Using bus stops is a crucial element of conducting carriages in passenger transport. Local authorities are allowed to charge for stopping at bus stops and should be allowed to use this tools for creating public transport actively within their boundaries. Administrative courts in general stay opposed to local acts on bus stops charging but variety of reasons are pointed out. The manner of introducing bus stops charging schemes is also in the area of interest of public prosecutors. Article postulates the extension of premises to be taken into account by local governments according to bus stops charging so that the governments could have more possibilities to influence transportation system in their area.

Publications on Adam Smith could fill the shelves of more than one library. This Scottish thinker of the 17th century continues to inspire economists, and his message is timeless. Adam Smith’s philosophy, however, goes well beyond the realm of economics. He also formulated the concept of ethics presented in The Theory of Moral Sentiments. This theory gave some framework to his economic views, as presented in the second work, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. This article provides its own version of the interpretation of both works, reading them as one great message from Adana Smith. An attempt has also been made here to relate this message to the current socio-economic reality.

Today, the research of globalization is becoming more and more popular because we are living in the era of not only the total companies integration, but also countries integration that can’t be separated, since it is not economically effective to create a closed cycle of «production-consumption». Technologies develop quickly and give an opportunity to use global networks, which allows us, on the one hand, to give quick information about all products, to compare itwith the other goods, to find substitutes with lower prices and higher quality, if it is necessary, and without much difficulty to buy goods from any part of the world. On the other hand, companies have the opportunity to give customers information about their products by using the global network and as a result, decreasing their costs. The globalization processes are irreversible, so corporations and governments must adapt to the trends that arise in different areas and try to use the advantage of the globalization processes. Accordingly, today, the quick development of the economic environment needs to be used in the production process are not only traditional factors ofproduction but scientific and technical achievement.

There are companies whose development is difficult to predict due to changes in the environment (changing technology, changing customer demand), while the complexity and size make it difficult to deal with everyday activities. Such organizations include data centers and, in particular, government data centers. It is important for decision-makers to have a picture of the whole as this will enable optimal decisions to be made for now and for the future. The paper presents the holistic model of the Government Data Center (GDC), which consists of several hundred elements of ArchiMate, a language for modeling the enterprise architecture. The model covers all layers of the enterprise architecture. Literature analysis shows that there not such data center (DC) models with this level of detail. The presented model can be used in planning the development of data centers of various enterprises, as well in ongoing activities supported by augmented reality.
