“…Levels of significance for differences in numbers of forest visits (NFV) among groups created according to net monthly household income, before (orange) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (green), produced using ANOVA; and for within-group NFV differences (black), determined by t-test. It also seems that flexible teleworking used by organizations to adapt to the global pandemic [34] enabled higher income categories to take advantage of increased flexibility to spend more time in nature, probably also with their children who did not attend schools at that time.…”

In view of the prevailing preferences for health and recreation revealed by previous studies as the main expected benefits of forest visits, the research presented herein focuses on whether such expectations would translate into a significant increase in the number of forest visits (NFV) following pandemic outbreaks. In this context, a Slovak nationwide survey on forests was conducted, with the main objective of casting light on possible changes in NFV as a coping mechanism or behavioral response to the discomfort and severe restrictions stemming from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the related measures. The survey was administered on a statistically representative sample after the pandemic’s first wave ebbed and restrictions were eased in the summer months of 2020. Collected data were assessed using ANOVA, the results of which supported the importance of forests as places providing opportunities for restoration of mental and physical resources. Forest accessibility as represented by forest coverage and settlement size emerged as a paramount factor affecting NFV rates both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic and its accompanying measures affected the relationships between NFV and average per capita income, type of employment, and most importantly age, highlighting possible vulnerabilities and disadvantages in certain population segments.

“…While for some adults remote work constituted a challenge requiring them to acquire new skills, for young people, who are skillful at new technologies, the use of remote learning platforms was unlikely to cause any problems [5,6,7]. The introduction of remote learning in connection with the COVID-19 epidemic meant that what had previously been a way of spending free time became an obligation, subordinated to new school regulations.…”

Introduction and objective. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic all schools in Poland were closed and obliged to conduct lessons remotely. The aim of the study is to present the demographic analysis of difficulties with remote learning, as perceived by students during coronavirus pandemic in Poland. Materials and method. In April 2020, a nationwide online survey was conducted among adolescents aged 11-18 (N=2408). Quantitative and qualitative data were used. Teenagers were asked about the problems connected with remote learning. In order to examine the overall level of remote learning difficulties, a scale of remote learning difficulties (RLD) was devised (range 0-23 points). Differences connected with gender, age and place of residence were analysed. Results. More than a half of the teenagers surveyed rated the increased demands from teachers as a major problem. This answer appeared statistically more often among girls than boys (59.6% v. 53.2%). Almost every third adolescent saw the lack of consultation (31.6%) as a significant problem. Difficulties related to learning in the remote system were most often described as considerable by the oldest students (17-18-years-old) and those living in rural areas. The big problem for them was usually much higher requirements of teachers and poor organization of distance learning. The mean level on the scale of remote learning burden was M=11.9 (SD=7.1). Technical difficulties and insufficient skills in using software constituted additional problems most frequently mentioned by students. Conclusions. There is a need to pay particular attention to organizing appropriate technical conditions for remote learning, especially in rural areas, where students have complained more often than in cities about equipment and problems with access to the Internet during the pandemic.

“…The digitization processes are followed by many current trends in the field of human resource management and development (Sorko, 2016;Makarova et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2020), including the development of ICT skills by employees regarding to organisational goals achievement (Bilan et al, 2019). Digital transformation affected career management, training and development, performance management as well as intensified processes in building a knowledge-based society, employee mobility, and networking (Baykal, 2020;Blštakova et al, 2020;Raišienė et al, 2020;Rapuano, 2020).…”

Human potential introduces an enormous range of knowledge, skills, predictable and unpredictable responses, ways of perception, experience, and behaviour. The human potential in the corporate environment, i.e. people and their complex positive and negative abilities are mostly constructive, but sometimes destructive creators of new values and new knowledge. The need to implement changes in management systems is a challenge and a condition for future competitiveness these days. In this paper, the authors focus on the culturalhistorical development of human resource management from the time when people were only a secondary component of production to the present when they are a key element in maintaining competitiveness. A survey conducted between 2010 and 2019 analyses how human resource management in Slovak organizations has changed over the past decade. The survey revealed several
