The concept of sustainable work touches on a number of aspects of an employee’s role within an organization. One of these is employee development, which is based on feedback regarding their strengths and weaknesses. This function is fulfi lled by the performance review. The research was both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The quantitative part was conducted on a sample of 186 respondents using a proprietary questionnaire containing 13 closed-ended questions. Additionally, for employees, a qualitative analysis was performed on the text of their responses to a single open-ended question included in the questionnaire. The results indicate that annual reviews conducted in a collaborative manner can be a signifi cant element of sustainable work. To fully leverage their potential, it is essential to better prepare employees to participate in the reviews and the entire evaluation process, as well as to strengthen the competencies of management in supporting employee career development within the organization.
The digital work "Makeshift" by Paweł Starzec, Krzysztof Pijarski, and Michał Szota was created in 2020 based on Paweł Starzec documentary series "Makeshift," realized between 2013 and 2020. The work was created in collaboration with vnLab of the Łódź Film School and Television and was presented during the "New Visual Narratives 2022" event in Łódź (July 1, 2022) along with an accompanying exhibition of photos from the project, and then during the "Ground Control" exhibition in Venice (2023), organized by vnLab and funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage under the Creative Sectors Development Program. Makeshift is a project dedicated to rewriting history in Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on the mass atrocities of the Bosnian War, the places where they occurred, and their erased context.

"Makeshift" is a project dedicated to rewriting history in Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on the mass atrocities of the Bosnian War, the places where they occurred, and their erased context. History is a collective narrative, and therefore has the capacity to rewrite, omitting what was meant to be forgotten. Given that a significant portion of the events of the 1992-1995 Bosnian War were obscured by new historical narratives aimed at preserving the integrity of the newly formed society of divided ethnic groups, it is crucial to analyze this conflict, its causes, and its consequences. The series was presented to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Encontros da Imagem photography festival in Braga, Portugal. The exhibition was curated by Vitor Nieves. The exhibition took place at the University of Minho's School of Meditation from September 20 to November 3, 2024. "Makeshift" has previously been exhibited by Encontros da Imagem; several works from the series are in the Foundation's collection, and in 2017 the project won the festival's Discovery Award. In 2025, Paweł Starzec won a Hasselblad Foundation Photo Book Grant for his "Makeshift" project, which will see a book based on the project published in 2026 in collaboration with Sun Archive.

Misophonia is a disorder characterized by adverse reactions to specific repetitive sounds, such as oral and nasal noises made by humans (e.g., chewing, sniffing) and environmental sounds (e.g., animal licking, tapping). These reactions can manifest early in life and involve the nervous, autonomic, and perceptual systems. Cognitive functions appear to play a key role in how these stimuli are processed in individuals with misophonia. or tapping. Although it is associated with various psychiatric disorders, it also presents distinct clinical features that suggest alterations in cognitive processing, particularly selective attention and inhibitory control. However, research on cognitive processes in situations without exposure to trigger sounds in individuals with misophonia, especially children, remains limited. Given that misophonia typically begins in childhood or adolescence, understanding its early cognitive profile is crucial.
This study investigated cold cognitive processes, including inhibitory control, selective and divided attention, along with verbal and abstract reasoning, using performance-based tests in children with misophonia (n = 32) and controls without sound-related issues (n = 30), aged 7–17.
Children with misophonia outperformed controls in divided attention (p < .001) and inhibitory control (p < .001), with no differences in other cognitive domains. Logistic regression showed that better inhibitory control increased the likelihood of misophonia, while linear regression indicated that misophonia status and selective attention predicted better inhibitory control. These results suggest that misophonia in children is related to enhanced inhibitory control rather than deficits in cognitive functioning. A better understanding of these cognitive processes could be an important step toward understanding the nature of misophonia, especially in pediatric populations.
"Visual Systems: Visual Communication" was a solo exhibition devoted to the topic of dynamic visual identification, showcasing Mateusz Antczak's research and design work. The event took place at the University of South-Eastern Norway in Drammen from October 20 to November 28, 2025. The exhibition opened with a vernissage combined with a curatorial tour, attended by an international academic audience. The exhibition featured static and animated projects, as well as sketches, artifacts from the design process, standardization documents, and implemented visual identification system materials. A 57-page catalog, published in Polish and English, accompanied the exhibition, containing the author's text, project presentations, and photographic documentation. The exhibition was curated by Prof. Theo Sikkes (USN).
