1. "Art, Finance and Logistics: Creative Combination for Economic Development"
Thierry Houé

The research focuses on the setting-up of a free zone strengthening the economic diversification of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Dedicated to storage, handling and trading of high value items and in particular artworks and jewellery, The Luxembourg Freeport was inaugurated in September 2014. Using the Resource-Based View as theoretical framework, the paper aims to show what combinations of resources can have a positive impact on economic activities in connection with the Freeport. The research confirms that these activities go beyond pure logistical and operational sights. The findings highlight a triptych of resources justifying this location in an environment where art, finance and logistics seem to create a virtuous circle benefiting economic development of the country and promoting the rise of clustering effects.

2. "Ecosystem Approach to the Formation of Goods Express Delivery Supply Chains in Aviation Logistics"
Volodymyr Isaienko, Mariia Hryhorak, Dmytro Bugayko, Zenon Zamiar

The article shows that in the context of accelerating the processes of economic integration in aviation logistics at the micro, meso and macro levels, complicating the forms of business organization, the emergence of new forms of cooperation between companies and new ways of jointly creating added value, many organizational boundaries in the economy are becoming more blurred and dynamic. The use of the concept of “ecosystem” in research is growing. An attempt is made to consider the possibility of using the “ecosystem” design for economic analysis at the aggregated level and to highlight the elements of the aviation logistics ecosystem on which the attention of researchers will be focused. From the authors’ point of view, the aviation logistics ecosystem is a combination of aviation, logistics, transport and postal organizations, which provides goods express delivery supply chains with the system of interconnected technologies. In the framework of the article analysis of air cargo industry framework, synchronization and digitization of service operations in air cargo service supply chain, express delivery supply chains were represented. The authors proposed a mathematical model that allows logisticians to optimize the supply chain of special categories of goods, which is one of the priority tasks of the aviation logistics ecosystem.

3. "Major Features Of Adaptive Supply Chains – Literature Review"
Dorota Leończuk

Adaptiveness is one of the most significant features of the supply chain that affects the results of its functioning. The capability of the supply chain to adapt to all, more and more demanding conditions is one of the main factors that guarantee long-term competitiveness and success. R. Kalakota, M. Robinson and P. Gundepudi consider inventory visibility, fulfilment velocity and coordination versatility as three fundamental pillars of adaptive supply chains, also termed as 3V in the literature. The chief objective of this paper is the identification of features that a supply chain should have in order to be called adaptive, as well as the verification of their compliance with the 3V principle. The review of the available literature sources that focus on the subject of the major features of adaptive supply chains (in particular having a decisive effect on their adaptive capabilities) has resulted in certain common elements. The authors of all the described approaches emphasise the two features: visibility and velocity. The third, frequently indicated, feature is also versatility or variety (that can be treated as one of the elements of the versatility of the supply chain). Visibility involves ensuring access to the information for all participants in the supply chain, also customers. Velocity, in turn, refers to the reaction time of the supply chain to all sorts of events and the time of implementing necessary changes. The third element is versatility. It primarily involves balancing the operational capability of a supply chain with market requirements, in particular delivering suitable products and services of the required quality and in the ordered volume. It is also vital to adjust the offer to the individual needs of customers.

Katarzyna Witczyńska

Modern times are associated with a huge increase in the number of security breaches in transnational corporations. The conclusion is that all preventive measures should be taken to stop the growing online crime in globalizing economies. Nowadays, when the Internet is becoming more and more common and more people use its resources, security becomes a priority. The use of firewalls, IDS and IPS systems, the implementation of appropriate security rules, the awareness of network users and the continuous deepening of knowledge in this area can significantly contribute to the security of data of transnational corporations.

5. "The Influence of Public Transport Acts in 2019 in Poland on Conflicts Concerning the Shape of the Public Transport Network"
Duszan Augustyn

In 2019, the Polish Government introduced a new legislation on public transport. The main objective of these laws is to determine a new division of responsibilities within the public administration system for the planning, implementation and financing of public transport. These new regulations may significantly affect the scope of responsibilities and competencies of transport organizers, in particular regarding the creation of transport plans and funding mechanisms. As a result of maintaining an under-financed, unsustainable transport system based solely on commercial public transport for more than two decades, Poland has experienced a collapse of the public transport system in remote areas. The absence of complex policies in the field of public transport has caused millions of people to suffer from transport exclusion, especially in settlements located outside the main transport routes. This is resulting in disputes over the structure of the regional transport network. The aim of the research paper is to identify potential axes of conflicts between transport organizers, government and local governments subsidizing co-financed transport services, passengers and companies providing public and commercial passenger transport.

Dmytro Bugayko, Mariia Hryhorak, Yuri Kharazishvili, Zenon Zamiar

Aviation security is an important component of the concept of general national security, the system of personal security, public safety and transport safety from external and internal threats. Maintaining an acceptable level of national aviation safety is a priority for the industry. Economic security is very important in the context of globalization. The main tool for ensuring these tasks is proactive risk management. The development of economic risk management tools is relevant for sustainable development of both the industry of civil aviation in particular, and in the state economy as a whole.

7. "The Ability to Restore Railway Traffic on the Route of Jelenia Góra–Karpacz/Kowary"
Szymon Haładyn

This article discusses the reason for the suspension of railway traffic on the Jelenia Góra - Karpacz route. The possibility of reactivating the transport on this route was indicated. Based on the equation of the train movement, calculations of the theoretical travel were carried out, as a result of which the technical and total travel time were determined. A rational interval of train runs was determined and a timetable was proposed, taking into account relations going beyond Jelenia Góra. The article justifies the need to introduce supplementary connection operated by electric buses. The concept of reactivating traffic in this area should be supplemented with the construction of a P + R car park. The possibility of further development of the transport system in the discussed area was also proposed.

9. "Loads and Road Design for Intermodal Container Terminals with Untypical Heavy Load Traffic"
Stanisław Majer, Bartosz Budziński, Przemysław Gardas

There is a high demand in Poland for new intermodal container terminals. Increased rate of freight transport requires however new solutions for durable roads. Intermodal operations are carried out by swap bodies, trailers or most often containers. The intermodal terminals play the function of a storage, transportation and handling of the containers. The road surfaces within the terminals are exposed to different types of loads due to untypical types of transportation that operates on them. New types of roads demand new design methods that consider loads applied by special types of vehicles (container cranes, types of forklifts called reach-stackers). They also need to consider the method of container stacking, where the local forces can reach up to 1400 kN. The article presents typical loads that can be found in intermodal terminals, including the storing area and maneuvering aisles. The article presents also typical materials used for road construction, as well as method of dimensioning that incorporates different exposure factors. The method allows to design load-bearing and durable road surfaces. The calculations were performed for materials typically used in road construction, as well as in industrial flooring. The study presents a case study calculation of a parking lot designed for heavy load trucks.
