The article provides a general description of one part of the structure of Virtual eLearning space - VeLSpace, which is called Analytical level. The main components of the Analytical level and communication with other system components are described as well. All components are structured in three different levels of abstraction: analytical, semantic and sensory. The paper also presents some concepts related to the use of intelligent agents based on BDI architecture. Semantic level refers to the representation of knowledge in the system that agents use for the outside world and their inner beliefs. The knowledge is presented through ontologies.

”The present book is a light introduction into the world of computer programming. It turns out that we do not have to be computer geniuses to learn to code. Most people have a limited knowledge about the construction and functioning of a car or a motorbike, but still it does not prevent them from sitting behind the wheel and driving. We do not have to know the basic construction and functioning of computers in order to be able to make use of them. Coding is a similar case. Today we have many different programming languages to choose from. We can start learning to use any of them, but in the case of some languages this process is going to be easier, while in the case of others – more difficult. A Chinese proverb says ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’, and this is why we are going to focus on a programming language which is particularly orientated towards creating pictures. The language in question is Processing. It is a dialect of Java, the most popular programming language (October 2016) according to TIOBE1 ranking. Processing has been designed especially for artists, thanks to which it is very easy to learn. The best way of learning to code is writing programmes as often as possible. The mere reading of the book will not make you proficient as far as coding is concerned. Thus, while reading, you are advised to re-write the exemplary programmes, modify them and use as an encouragement to write your own. If you follow this advice, after finishing the book you will surely know a lot about the process of coding. You may not be a coding guru, but still you will learn the basic skills of computer programming and you will possess the knowledge enabling you to follow different paths. Maybe in future you will even become a professional programmer, which we wish for you. The book has been aimed at those who do not have any previous experience with coding, therefore many concepts are discusses in great detail. For the readers who do have some programming background it may seem to be boring, but they also can find something valuable in this book: they will have a chance to learn the basics of the Processing language. Readers are not required to be familiar with any advanced tools. The only requirements are the elementary knowledge of mathematics and the willingness to learn to code. Despite the fact that in the book the coding is taught by means of Processing language, the acquired knowledge will facilitate to move on to learn other programming languages, such as C, C++, C# or Java”.

Medical documentation has an important place in health institutions in terms of storing and protecting data of both the patient and the institution. Effectively kept medical records provide a quality and safe health service to patients and their relatives, while at the same time revealing the professionalism of the institution. A health institution needs an effective medical documentation system in order to optimize the health care provided and to provide quality health care. This study is designed to emphasize the importance of medical documentation in health institutions and to investigate what needs to be done to reach better quality and effective health services. In the study, the development process of medical documentation was explained, and information was given about the trainings given and the medical records that should be kept. The importance of organizing medical documentation in an electronic environment and the electronic medical record system are explained, and the advantages and disadvantages of the electronic medical record system used in health institutions are discussed. As a result of the literature review, it has been discussed in which aspects medical documentation affects health institutions and what should be done for more effective and quality health services.

Although participation in conferences is an integral part of every researcher's life, and the number of such conventions organized in Poland is impressive, so far no attempts have been made to determine their universal goals. Trying to fill this gap, the authors attempt to indicate the aims that may guide the conference participants, including organizers and sponsors. Bearing in mind the different aspirations of different persons, the authors set out groups of goals (scientific and research goals, self-development, communication, promotion) that accompany those participating in the congresses of researchers. The discussed motivations are summarized in the graphic form.

This chapter is devoted to visual presentation of the speaker as well as the etiquette to be followed during conferences. Research on the conference clothing and etiquette proved that this is a subject not covered by any scientific publications and, as such, is not even mentioned in general publications focusing on good manners and dress code. The author of this chapter has shown that apart from being able to create proper presentations based on knowledge and merit, it is important for the speaker to display behavioral norms accepted by the academics. For that reason, it is necessary to remember that the clothes we wear for the conference do not diverge from these accepted norms as they are a sign of our respect for others, for the venue and occasion. It is also important to stress that appropriate clothing should be accompanied by proper behavior which, together with a perfectly prepared presentation, will certainly contribute to our success during the conference.

The chapter primarily provides a synthesis of knowledge in regard to multimedia presentations. The text includes terminological reflections on the concept of “multimedia presentation”, referring to the origins of this form of information dissemination. Additionally, it also attempts to classify popular computer programs for designing presentations. An analysis of the state of research demonstrates that publications on multimedia presentations are, for the most part, popular science works created by representatives of business, sales, and marketing, and tworks on this subject have been published in fits and starts. This chapter also discusses how authors define the term “multimedia presentation” and what the differences between a “presentation” and a “speech” are, pointing out that these terms are often used interchangeably. Additionally, it refers to the beginnings of information visualization, from which multimedia presentations originate. In the description of applications for preparing multimedia presentations, emphasis is placed on the most popular program for designing presentations – Microsoft PowerPoint. An original classification of tools for designing multimedia presentations is proposed based on the literature on the subject and heuristic analysis.

This case study discusses changes to the content and form of the author's visual presentation on a comparative study conducted using four corpora of English and one corpus of Polish. The changes were made based on the practical principles of preparing presentation concerning the structure of academic presentations (adding missing slides, narrowing down the topic), the organization of the information, the compositional clarity of individual slides, the amount of text, the use of colors (SmartArt objects), and the use of graphs and tables to present the results. These changes helped create a presentation which is easier to read, and more audience oriented. However, in the case of studies on corpora of texts it is difficult to achieve a good balance between textual and graphical elements, for instance, compared to medicine. Also, selecting illustrations that would be consistent with the theme of Latin expressions in legal texts was not an easy task. In the study, successive versions of representative slides, such as the introduction, the aim of the study, the conclusions, the final slide, etc., are put together to show, using examples, how the principles of preparing effective presentations were implemented.

The presentation: ‘Evolution of landowners’ approach to marriage in the 19th century according to the guidance literature and Ego-documents’ was created for the ‘The art of public speaking’ course. The aim was to prepare participants for speaking in public, which is an integral part of any scientist's work. One of the challenges the group faced during the weekly meetings was to develop a valuable multimedia presentation to complement the public speech. A month passed from the time of making the first version of the author’s slides to presentation of its final version in class. The file in both cases was similar, which is a consequence of the use of a presentation template prepared for the faculty with which the author is associated. Although the concept of the speech has remained the same, and the multimedia presentation has not undergone radical changes, the comparison of both files, which the author makes in the article, shows how it evolved under the influence of valuable comments and advice. The analyzed material is grouped into three subchapters. The first of them concerns serious faults, the second focuses on shortcomings of minor importance, which still make the presentation less visually attractive. In the last group, the author lists those features of the document that she had not paid attention to before, and therefore they were not included in the first version of the multimedia presentation

Preparation of a multimedia presentation that would meet modern standards of knowledge transfer is still a big challenge for many researchers in the field of archaeology. A clear and precise transfer of knowledge depicting the results of their archaeological research, or their interpretation, does not always translate into well-prepared speeches. Typical mistakes include the lack of a fixedsequence of ideas, coherently collating the discussed content, coherent graphic design, cohesive layout of content and illustrations, and many other elements that would make them a professional basis for discussing the substantive content. The whole material was developed using the case study method. The guidelines contained in the content are intended by the author to be helpful for current and future generations of archaeologists, both studying at Doctoral Schools of Polish universities, but perhaps also for Bachelor's and Master's degrees. They include proper preparation of the introductory slide, outline of the speech and its main research goals, the presentation of research results, a summary of the results, and finally a list of literature used by the author to develop the results of this work.
