Our ancestors told tales around their fires that became the bedrock of entire cultures. Beyond mere entertainment, these stories were crucial in imparting essential cultural values, wisdom, and a sense of collective identity. They served as a medium for passing down knowledge and strengthening communal bonds, blending reality with imagination to expand the realms of possibility. This age-old tradition is not just about recounting events; it is a way of making sense of the world, interpreting the past, and envisioning what the future might hold. In the same spirit, I present to you my narrative, not just as a recounting of events, but as a journey of sensemaking. It’s a story captured in real-time, reflecting my experiences with collective real and artificial insights as I navigate extensive engagement with ChatGTP4.; DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In a quiet corner of an academic's mind, a dialogue began – not with a colleague, nor a book, but with an AI named ChatGPT4. This narrative unfolds over several months, during which each textual exchange could catalyze a surge in creative thought and higher-order thinking.; FINDINGS: As a reflective interface, ChatGPT4 reveals oblivious habitual patterns, that were obstructing the next level of creative and advanced thinking. This autoethnographic narrative, a blend of technology and introspection, weaves a story that transcends conventional research, portraying AI as an analytical tool allied with the unintended quest for cognitive insight.; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The scholar, initially the conductor of queries and task setting, unwittingly becomes a student of their own mental landscape, resulting from inquisitions into their extensive textual communication.; ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This approach is crucial as it extends traditional ethnographic focus from solely human societies to the complex dynamics of digital communities, including AI entities.

They belong to the evidence prohibitions that make it difficult or impossible to obtain information about the patient. The legislator, being aware of the limitations in determining material truth, tried to reconcile the implementation of tasks under the penal procedure with the patient's interest.; DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In this article, we take note that respecting medical confidentialy is one of the fundamental rights for patients and physician.; FINDINGS: The implementation of Human Security Framework argument relates to the centrality of rhetoric in implementic human rights prism in legal order. In that much of the “reality” surrounding human rights is fundamentally interpretive, human security rhetorical framework plays a key role presenting that a rights ideal can secure legal orders in a culture predisposed to reject that ideal.; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: A correct analysis of medial confidential in the prism of Human Security Framework put, the argument here is that concern for how particular individuals advocate for human rights causes adds significant value to understanding the fundamental meaning in protection this institution and its role in criminal trial.; ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The publication systematizes the most important issues of human security framework in legal order, particulary in criman trial.

The standards were verified in 2018-2022 for purposively selected banks in Poland: ING Bank Slaski S.A., mBank S.A. and Bank Millennium S.A. The assessment was based on a comparative analysis of the reviewed banks' financial statements.; FINDINGS: As a result of the descriptive analysis, it was confirmed that the reviewed banks, despite the risk of economic uncertainty, met the stansards of capital adequacy during the set period. In this context, particularly sensitive risk areas of banking activities were identified.; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: In business practice, the monitoring of financial adequacy standards informs both banks and entrepreneurs: about business risks, the need to modify credit policy, the need for recapitalization. It is a useful 'barometer' of economic uncertainty verification.; ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Permanent evaluation of banks' capital adequacy standards, based on selected evaluation measures, allows monitoring the risk of banking activity under conditions of economic uncertainty.

The research aims to determine which elements of the programme are most valued by students and how they can be improved to better respond to the needs of the labour market.; DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The research was conducted in 2023 using a survey method involving 1103 respondents from various universities. The data analysis included assessing the attractiveness of the coursework, personalising the curriculum, the availability of online resources and other key aspects of agile learning.; FINDINGS: The results of the study indicate that flexibility, personalization, and accessibility of online resources are key attributes of an agile learning program. Students highly rated the possibility of choosing the form of conducting classes and the readability of the assessment rules, which contributes to their greater commitment and effectiveness of learning.; PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The results of the research can be used by universities to optimize their curricula, increasing their attractiveness and adaptation to the needs of students and the labor market. The implementation of the recommendations will allow for better preparation of graduates for the dynamically changing conditions of the knowledge-based economy.; ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The article provides unique insights into student preferences in the context of agile learning, highlighting the importance of flexibility and personalization of study programs. The research adds value to the existing literature by offering practical guidance to universities on how to improve their educational processes.
