Review of the scientific monograph of Dr. engineer Bogdan Ćwik entitled Efficiency of reading warning signals in security monitoring systems, WAT Publishing House 2023.

Abstract

The reviewed monograph is the author's original idea regarding the subject matter. No monographic position in this approach has been found, either on the Polish or international market. It is a valuable supplement to the titles in the field of security research appearing on the publishing market.The thematic area covered includes early warning systems and personal security. It may also constitute a contribution to in-depth scientific considerations in the area of information impacts. Some fragments of the analyzed monograph may allow us to explore the mechanisms of information wars or propaganda mechanisms. This topic can be useful in many areas, the most recent of which is the experience from the war between Russia and Ukraine, where an important element of this conflict is information warfare, the basic factor of which is the distortion of transmitted information. And the clearest example of what organized information influence can cause is the Russian society and the high percentage of Russian residents supporting this war. The problems discussed in this monograph may also affect immunity in reading information and signals provided in various means of social space. Such an area is social media and the phenomena of various forms of information aggression in these media.
